Killing Lincoln

[BettyO]

Gene, I think it was a slip - a mistake....

Nowhere have I read that Mary took a long time to die. It has been stated otherwise, as a matter of fact; that she was the first to die and died quickly. Atzerodt died next; then Herold and lastly Powell, who took the longest to die as he strangled. It was even stated that those on the "outside" (Surratt, Atzerodt) died quicker than those on the "inside" (Powell, Herold)....
