The Case For Mrs. Surratt

[RJNorton]

Was Mary telling the truth when she said she did not recognize Powell (dressed as a laborer)? How bad was her eyesight? How close was she to Powell when she denied knowing him? (Kate Larson estimates three feet - is this about right?) I think all books mention Powell had previously been at the boardinghouse, but not all mention Mary had actually seen Powell in a different place as she had visited him at the Herndon House.
