Assassination Trivia

[RJNorton]

Brilliant, Eva! Senator James Lane is correct. The books I have say he was one of the people who prevented Anna Surratt from seeing President Johnson on the morning of July 7, 1865. Anna wanted to plead for her mother's life but was unable to see the President. Another man who helped stop Anna from seeing the President, Preston King, also later committed suicide. He jumped off a ferryboat on the Hudson River.

Eva, this is the kind of question for which I cannot think of an appropriate prize. So I just send best wishes for a mild winter in Germany! This was a tough question - KUDOS to you!!!!!
