Who think Mary Surratt was not aware of the plot to kill Lincoln and helped Booth by running errands for him, not to mention lying to the police when confronted about it...but there is some disagreement about whether her involvement was deserving of the death penalty, especially for a woman at that time.

Still amazing photos and an amazing story though.
