The best of 2013

Eva -

John and Barry would be the experts on the Courtroom - they would know the correct placement. But I've worked a bit on the courtroom as well and here is pretty much, I believe, what the courtroom looked like. I've modified the sketch somewhat to show the benches which the spectators sat on (we believe that there were 9 of them - 6' long - we're in the process of having them made.) There was also a table for the Commission's water cooler and glasses as well as a pot-belly stove. There was also a fireplace on the wall in front of the reporter's table.

Mrs. Surratt DID NOT sit in the dock, but to the side in the corner by the door through which the prisoners came in....

If John or Barry could chime in here..... Thanks!
