I believe that I have posted before that my great-grandfather knew Mrs. Surratt's younger brother, James Archibald Jenkins, and extended his sympathies to him on the tragic death of his sister. The man responded with words to the effect that no sympathies were needed. She knew what she was doing and got what she deserved.

Goodness, that's coldblooded.
