Reprint of the Trial in the Criminal Court of the District of Columbia sitting for the trial of crimes and misdemeanors June-August-1867. Surratt 1844-1916 was one of John Wilkes Booth's co-conspirators along with five others. This group's original plan was to kidnap Lincoln and trade him for a large number of Confederate prisoners. Surratt fled to Italy after the assassination but he was identified in 1866 and extradited. Surratt was tried in a civilian court of the District of Columbia instead of a military one as his mother had been. She was convicted as a co-conspirator and was the first woman executed by the Federal government. Surratt's attorney admitted Surratt's part in plotting to kidnap but not murder the president. Surratt was ultimately released after a mistrial. The government attempted to retry him but the statute of limitations thwarted this plan. unknown books
