Louis Weichmann

[L Verge]

One of the people who "blasphemed" Weichmann the worst was Mary Surratt's (and the Church's) avid supporter John Brophy. Weichmann had to defend himself very strongly against allegations that Brophy would make to anyone and everyone. Just as I would not consider John Surratt a suspect in any attempt on Mr. Weichmann's life, I would not consider Brophy one either. However, there were any number of people who developed a strong dislike for the man - Yankees as well - because they considered him to be despicable for turning against Mary Surratt.

I don't remember ever seeing the comments about the "person in drag" who visited the Weichmann home (I assume in Philadelphia?). I would love to read that because I cannot believe that any Victorian newspaper would dare to mention such a delicate subject as that.
