    John Surratt eventually made it to Canada, and from there he was spirited off to England. When there were reports that he was seen in England, President Johnson and Secretary of War Edwin Stanton cancelled the reward put on his head. He would later escape to Italy, where he was eventually found serving in the army of the Pope living just outside of Rome. The photo in this video shows Surratt in his military garb for the Popes army. He would be identified by someone from America and demanded his arrest, as he would be, but would somehow escaped, wink wink, and make it to Alexandria, Egypt, where he was arrested and brought back to America to be tried in Jesuit controlled Georgetown, where the Jesuits and Freemasons circled their wagons and got him off. Mary Surratt's boarding house was actually a meeting place for Catholic and Jesuit Priest's, and the order to murder Lincoln came from none other than Pope Pious IX, who called Jefferson Davis his favorite son. The only reason any of them was hung is because they did it quick, otherwise all of them would have been freed, just like Mudd was a few years later, as Johnson, a slave owning Democrat and Albert Pike, a slave owning Democrat, Head of the Illuminati, 33 degree Freemason, and war criminal who was imprisoned for ordering people under his command were not only ordered to scalp, but disembowel Union troops. He was ordered released by Johnson 2 days after Lincoln died and was sitting in the White house running the country a few weeks later.

    John Wilkes Booth was handsome and charismatic. I think Mary was infatuated with him the way some women are fans of movie stars such as Brad Pitt . She went along with her son and the other conspirators and provided aid to them when she dropped stuff off at Suratt's tavern. Although she was an accomplice, it is debatable whether her involvement warranted the death penalty. She was probably held in hopes her son would surrender.

    I think it is a shame Mary Surrat was executed for her involvement in the conspiracy to kill Lincoln; yet, her son didn't even get to spend life in prison. He just got a "slap on the wrist" with the hung jury. I do think she was guilty as charged and got exactly what she deserved. I also think her son should have also been found guilty.

    Absolutely correct and what's amazing about all this, John Surratt's flight and who aided in his escape. It was quite apparent that the Jesuits were undoubtedly involved, as they were seen going to and fro, at Marry Surratt's boardinghouse. This info came from her Tribunal and TM Harris, a General that participated in this trial(see his book, Rome's Responsibility for the Assassination of Abraham Lincoln). He wasn't the only Military Officer bring forth this info, Naval Officer Thompson also released a book called, The Suppressed Truth of the Assassination of Abraham Lincoln. What very few know, the real conspiracy was to destroy the republic and that was undoubtedly accomplished. Echoing the the quote from Benjamin Franklin, after he was asked what have you done for us? "We've given you a republic, can you keep it"

    That's interesting and I'm sure Dr. Mudd said that but unfortunately it's not true . Mrs Surratt was deeply involved in the entire original plot and had full knowledge of what was happening in her kitchen and boarding house. IF one of the most famous actors in America is visiting your home and having angry conversations in your kitchen with fellow Confederate loyalist thugs about kidnapping the President of the United States, you're going to know about it. When you research the Congressional Record, the United States Army investigation reveals, strong first hand confession and eye witness evidence, that she AND Dr. Mudd both knew about the plot to kidnap Lincoln and threaten to execute him, if the Federal Armies did NOT retreat from the South and end the war.

Booth told her that he only wanted to kidnap Lincoln and exchange him for a release of Confederate prisoners, but Booth's aim was secretly always to kill Lincoln, although he never told her that. John Junior conspired along with Booth in this and and ran, after the conspiracy ended in Booth's killing at a farmhouse in Virginia following 12 days of flight. John Junior ran abroad and eluded capture for a time, letting his mother take the blame.

    I graduated from Surrattsville Senior High School in 1971. The school erected nearby and once the developers cleared the land between the high school and Piscataway Road, you could see the Surratts House from the school (if my memory is correct). I left the area in 1980 and have only returned two times. I seem to remember a doctor from St. Mary's County (On the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay) being involved in some way. Or my faulty memory could be referencing another historical event from Southern Maryland's bountiful past. I am 69 years young.

    Mary Surratt should not have been hanged. Just because she owned the boardinghouse doesn’t mean she would be aware of what they are meeting about. John Lloyd was drunk that day so maybe he was mistaken, but yes Louis Weichmann does confirm she was there. She had poor eyesight so maybe she didn’t recognize Lewis Powell, but yes the fact that’s where he goes would make Mary Surratt kinda suspicious.

    Well done. But, I don't understand the Title. Is it her plea on the gallows, when the trap-door drops? Or some other reference. The title has promise of a very dramatic or profound message. BUT, we are never told anything about it. A missed opportunity to make the film more powerful. The film is well done for a young journalist. Keep going. ... keep improving. Be Proud, and Never Ashamed. I will add one suggestion, and one challenge. -- based on my 50 years of teaching. Speak a little slower, and more clearly. Over annunciate just a little extra, to make sure the audience can catch the words and understand. This effect is clearly seen in filmed documentaries and news-reels from the 1940's. When recording fidelity was lower, the speaker had to speak Extra clear. Also, Insert brief but distinct pauses. Much like paragraph breaks in printed text. This allows the material to sink into the minds of the listener. For them to "mentally digest", in digestible chunks. When speakers are nervous, they tend to speed up, and mumble. Being nervous will dissipate over time, and with greater experience. I learned to overcome shyness and stage-fright by being a magician, starting at age 13. Now for the Challenge. I never teach Anything unless it contains a "You Message". A term I coined; a concept and philosopy I evolved 35 years ago. What is a "You Message"? It's like the "moral" in an Aesop's fable. Applicable wisdom hiding behind the narrative or text. Something meaningful to the student, which inspires, encourages, or motivates them. This is FAR, FAR beyond ordinary text books (educational), journalism (informational), or entertainment. It's persuasive. When ancient Roman orator Cicero spoke, people marveled at his oratory skills. But, when Greek Demosthenes spoke (despite his speech impediment), the audience yelled "Let's march to war!". The miracle of the You Message is that it is ALWAYS metaphorically about "you" (the listener), Regardless of who that "you" is. Because it's universal wisdom and inspiration. Here's an interesting example: I had a young apprentice named Gene. He doubted the universality. So, I said: There on my wall, you see an 8' x 8' shelving unit, filled with 500 VHS tapes. Just movies that came from the golden age of Hollywood. Pick ANY one of those tapes, and I will tell you the plot line of the story, without embellishment, yet SPECIFICALLY in terms of YOUR life. He picked one, and I told the story line. Pointing out the applicable wisdom. He was astounded, and never doubted me again. My students come to know that whenever Mr. Russo asks ANY question starting with the word "Who", there is always one universally correct answer which I can NOT reject nor mark "wrong". That answer is "you" (whom I am speaking To, the student). So, young film makers, Winston, Kevin, and Amy, I challenge you to add a YOU Message to each of your creations. Don't be afraid to "interpret", play psychologist, and voice something EACH audience member will feel is speaking Directly to them. Be bold! This will become a trademark with your films. Something that will set you apart. Something NO other competitor will be able to catch, or duplicate. Because a You Message sinks in, subliminally, sub-consciously. Keep at it. Never stop improving. Ken Burns, eat your heart out! More Power to YOU. P.S. A suggestion for the script writer among you. Yes, do study journalism. That's considered quality writing. BUT, go ONE STEP FURTHER. Study "Copy writing" from the old masters. "Copy" is the worded portion of any advertising piece. It's meant to "sell", to Persuade. (The power to motivate customers into action. To "buy". In your case, to "buy into".) I wish I could communicate directly with you. Because I have so much more to share. Including 42 years of copy-writing. It's Not safe to share contact info on this public forum; too many spammers and scammers. So, Look me up on LinkedIn, under my name, and city of Lancaster PA. Ask to "connect".

    It's thought that Mary Surratt was sentenced to death to force her son John to give himself up to save her. The military judges had all recommended that President Johnson commute her sentence, but Johnson always claimed that he had not received that written recommendation. It should also be noted that the conspirators were tried by a military commission, which was unconstitutional as civilian courts were fully functioning. Another aspect of the trial is that the male prisoners were kept hooded 24/7. The hoods were canvas with cotton wadding over the ears so as to prevent them from hearing anything, and wadding over the eyes which was so thick that it actually pressed the back into their heads. These hoods were only removed as they were entering the courtroom and replaced as soon as court was concluded for the day. The male prisoners also were shackled at all times, when they entered the court soldiers carried the 70 lb iron ball attached to their ankles. Lawyers were not provided to the defendants until the day before the trial started, and they were never allowed to meet with their clients except in open court. It was, in fact, the most barbaric trial in US history.

    The Surratt's conspired with the others to kidnap Lincoln, not kill him. When that plot failed, John Surratt fled without the others knowledge. I seriously doubt Mary Surratt continued with the plot after her son's disappearance just prior to Lincoln's assassination. From everything I've seen and read about her, she was a God-fearing woman who both protected her son and honored him as the patriarch, as this is how women, especially genteel southern women, were to behave in 1865. Not sure how she justified kidnapping though, unless she was opposed and only confessed to her priest for absolution instead of alerting the authorities, which could have possibly led to the imprisoning or execution of her son. The assassination plot, most likely, came to Booth and the others after John Surratt disappeared without Mary Surratt ever being aware that the plot had altered into something so heinous. I doubt that we'll ever fully know the truth of the matter. Maybe we aren't supposed to know.

    Still no excuse for Ms. Surratt not to mention to the police or the Federal Authorities of the plot to kill Lincoln. While the military trial was basically a "kangaroo court" and fiasco I agree, still Mary deserved to pay a huge price. if if I was juror or Judge, instead I would have given her life in prison without no parole, instead of the hanging.

    I don’t personally believe in the death penalty. But that was the justice of the time, and I do believe the co-conspirators should have faced justice for their crime. All in all, it was a time of great suffering for many. The political climate we have now is not so very different than the political climate in 1857, leading up to the Civil War, when people did not feel they had fair representation in government. The Jan. 6 armed insurrection on our Capitol notwithstanding, lets hope we can resolve the divides more peacefully in modern times.

    You can't be AGAINST the death penalty but then turn around and justify that the conspirators we're executed because that was the " Justice of the times". The death penalty is still a form of legal punishment today.Thats being a hypocrite. The Democratic party member Confederate John Wilkes Booth, planned and killed President Lincoln for freeing the slaves. The Democrat Party hasn't changed much today after creating the KKK because Democrat followers burned down , looted , torched Federal buildings with employees inside, threw Molotov cocktails at Federal Police Officers and killed many people during the BLM and Antifa race riots. ANY person today who is a Democratic party member, has the blood of millions of tortured slaves and dead American soldiers on their hands.
