Case No. 16,423.

UNITED STATES v. SURRATT.

[The trial of Mrs. Mary E. Surratt and others for the murder of Abraham Lincoln, president of the United States, was by military commission sitting in Washington, D. C, in May, 1865. The trial of John H. Surratt was by the criminal court of the District of Columbia, in June, 1867.]

[As decisions by the military courts and the courts of the District of Columbia after their reorganization under the act of March 3, 1863 (12 Stat. 764). are not included in this series, the reader is referred to the pamphlet reports of these trials, which can be found at many of the larger libraries. The trial of Mrs. Mary E. Surratt and others is sometimes denominated the “Conspiracy Trials.”]
