General Martin D. Hardin at the conspirators execution ?

[John E.]

Hello Folks,

I believe I have spotted General Martin Hardin standing on the wall behind the gallows. Please take a look at the following collage and state your opinion. I'm in the process of hopefully finding some collaborative evidence that states he was present.

Gen. Hardin escorted Fanny Seward and her brother to the Navy Yard in order to identify Powell on the Saugus. He was also a close family friend of President Lincoln's. It was in his father's house that Abraham met Mary Todd during a party. As you can see, his most notable characteristics were his missing arm and bushy mustache. It's very difficult to make out his rank.
