Mary Surratt's Denial of Lewis Powell

[Craig Hipkins]

Kate or Betty, What if Mrs. Surratt had played along with Powell and admitted knowing who he was? Do you think that this would have saved her from the gallows? I think that this denial of knowing who Powell was on the night he showed up at the boarding house sort of sealed her fate. I don't think John Lloyd's testimony or Louis weichmann's would have been enough to convict her. I most certainly could be wrong here!
