Countdown to July 7

[Linda Anderson]

I think that the authorities would want have wanted them drugged or drunk as who knows what they would have done on the scaffold otherwise: scream, cry, or beg for mercy. They knew Powell could handle it, otherwise I bet they would have drugged whatever he did drink.

I agree that the closeup of Mary is a haunting one. Now that I think of it, the ghost of Mary has been seen or heard at the Surratt House, the H St. boarding house and Fort McNair.

Anyone ever hear of the ghosts of Powell, Atzerodt or Herold haunting places?
