The evidence that sealed Mrs. Surratt's fate

[John Stanton]

Laurie-Post 1196. Mary Surratt's trip to Surrattsville, and her conversations with Smoot, indicate that she fully expected Lincoln to be taken across the River on Friday night. The boat was to be used and Smoot would be paid. She was not aware that there had been a program change. We are proving that she was not a participant in the murder. She was INVOLVED, but she never knew that Lincoln would be shot. If she found out on Friday, then her request to "pray for my intentions", was to stop the murder.
