Band at the execution

[BettyO]

A lot of folk get the prisoners' incarceration mixed up between Old Capitol and the Arsenal Prison. While the conspirators themselves were incerated at the Old Arsenal; some of the witnesses; i.e. the Bransons (who started out under house arrest and then were transferred to the Old Capitol), folk being held as witnesses for the trial, etc. were held there. Mrs. Surratt WAS supposedly at the Old Capitol at first when "the boys" were held on the gun boats, but was later transferred to the Arsenal when the male prisoners were.

About an actual hospital at the Old Arsenal? I'm not sure, but you'd think that they at least had some sort of "sick bay"/medical facility. Wouldn't John E and/or Barry C know?
