Mary Surratt, The Lincoln Assassination Conspirator And First Woman Ever Hanged by Tadexprof01(m): 6:04am On Oct 14, 2022 |
On July 7, 1865, Mary Surratt (tag) and three other condemned prisoners were marched through the courtyard of the Old Arsenal Penitentiary outside of Washington, D.C., surrounded by a crowd of over 1,000 people. Escorted by General John F. Hartranft, each of the prisoners’ wrists and ankles were bound. Their heads hung low as they approached the gallows. Surratt marched at the front of the procession wearing a black dress, bonnet, and veil. Too weak to walk on her own, two soldiers and priests supported her as she walked. The prisoners took their seats on the gallows — Surratt sat to the left of the others, the “seat of honor” for the execution. Then, one of the other prisoners spoke up. “Mrs. Surratt is innocent,” he said. “She doesn’t deserve to die with the rest of us.” Less than 20 minutes later, four lifeless bodies hung from the gallows: Lewis Powell, David Herold, George Atzerodt, and Mary Surratt — John Wilkes Booth’s co-conspirators in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.

If you believe the first woman ever hanged was in 1865, you'll as well believe the world started in 1865. 1 Like |
