Swift Justice
Less than three months after President Lincoln’s assassination, a military commission found four people guilty of conspiring with John Wilkes Booth in the assassination.
Mary Surratt, Lewis Powell, David Herold, and George Atzerodt were handed their death warrants on July 6, 1865. The sentences were carried out the very next day.
