Why was Mary Surratt not photographed after her arrest?

[L Verge]

I have to agree with Roger and Betty. Despite some flaws, The Web of Conspiracy is still one of my favorite reference books on the assassination, and many of us old-timers cut our teeth on it back in the 1960s and 70s.

I would also dispute that Lucy is known primarily as the "Dumpy Dimwit Duped by JWB and Deserving of Disdain" (great use of alliteration, however). Most books that I have read on the assassination credit Lucy Lambert Hale with being a very intelligent, witty, well-read conversationalist with a personality that attracted more than just Booth -- others such as Robert Lincoln and John Hay enjoyed her company. I suspect that Miss Lucy could hold her own with Booth.
