Louis Weichmann

[Pamela]

Clearly there is a lot of Southern sympathy around here, but out in the world, I think that the silent majority, although not happy to see a woman hung, believed that the war of rebellion was over, the Union won , and was and is the law of the land, and it's good not to live in anarchy, and justice was served. She was a woman who chose to play a dangerous game, and it didn't work out for her, but there was a disgusting amount of tragic loss of life in the conflict for the right to keep slaves. Anyone with an IQ above room temperature knew that Weichmann didn't hang Mary Surratt -- she hung herself when she welcomed conspirators into her home and told Lloyd to have the shooting irons ready just hours before the assassination. The majority of the tribunal recommended leniency and the President had the power to make the final decision, and it was his choice. And I do believe the jealousy factor has been overlooked; even that nut Father Conroy addressed the issue in his report.
