RE: Quick questions about courtroom and charge
I always assumed that Judge Advocate General Joseph Holt drafted the charges against the conspirators, but I found the original draft of the charges in the handwriting of Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton in Holt's Papers in the Library of Congress, so the answer to Question #1 is Stanton.

(I am challenged by the process to post an image, but will send the first page to Roger with a request to post it.)
