Description |
English: The hanging of convicted conspirators David Herold, George Azterodt, Lewis Powell and Mary Surratt took place July 7, 1865 at 1:26pm. This photo depicts the reading of the death sentence moments before hanging. So many people wanted to witness the event that a limited number of tickets had to be issued; roughly 1,000 people viewed the hanging from the windows, walls, courtyard and buildings. About twenty-five minutes after the hanging, the bodies were cut down and examined by a doctor. They were then buried in shallow graves next to the gallows and pieces of the gallows were actually distributed as souvenirs.
