RE: The evidence that sealed Mrs. Surratt's fate
I read somewhere (I have to go through my files) in a newspaper article that Anna did stop by Powell's cell in order to wring a statement from him as to her mother's innocence. Fathers Walter and Wiget did also stop by and Powell told them that she was innocent and whispered to Wiget that "She may have known something was up, but I don't know how much she knew."

Supposedly, Anna did get the statement from Powell as well. I'll have to look for the article.
