Graphical Analysis

[Leon Greene]

At least one reference to the informal phrenology analysis is in the book written by General Thomas Mealey Harris, one of the members of the trial tribunal: A History of the Great Conspiracy. Trial of the Conspirators by a Military Commission and a Review of the Trial of John H. Surratt, Boston, American Citizen Company, 1892, p. 80. It was cited in The Lincoln Assassination: Crime and Punishment, Harold Holzer, Craig L. Symonds and Frank J. Williams, Fordham University Press, 2014, p. 182.
The quote from Harris is: "He might just as well have admitted his complicity in the conspiracy. Mudd's expression of countenance was that of a hypocrite. He had the bump of secretiveness largely developed; and it would have taken months of favorable acquaintanceship to have removed the unfavorable impression made by the first scanning of the man. He had the appearance of a natural born liar and deceiver."
