Published almost 75 years after the author's death, the extraordinary eyewitness account by the young friend of John Surratt who was a boarder at Mary Surratt's rooming house in Washington, DC during the months when Mrs. Surratt, John Wilkes Booth, and the others shaped their plot. Weichmann, then 22, saw the furtive meetings, the midnight rides, the strange happenings whose full and terrible meaning was to elude him until the fateful night at Ford's Theater. And in his astonishing manuscript Weichmann tells his story and defends his role as the chief Government witness against the conspirators in a military trial whose legality was dubious and whose findings created intense controversy. After the trial, many in Washington doubted Weichmann's testimony, and some indeed believed that he may have gained immunity by turning state's evidence against fellow conspirators. Weichmann felt the public suspicion profoundly; his entire life came to be dominated by the accident of his sojourn in the Surratt house and by what he witnessed there. Although not a professional historian, Weichmann relates the entire story as he would have liked to have told it at the trial.and as, with his Victorian attitudes and his sense of mystery, melodrama, and self-justification, he was finally compelled to tell it.…

Weichmann was a boarder at Mary Surratt's rooming house in Washington, and was the chief Government witness against the conspirators in the Lincoln assassination. The manuscript had been in Weichmann's family since his death in 1902; the editor added an appendix of hitherto unpublished material. Louis J. Weichmann (September 29, 1842 - June 5, 1902) was one of the chief witnesses for the prosecution in the trial of the alleged conspirators involved in the Abraham Lincoln assassination. He had been also a suspect in the conspiracy because of his association with Mary Surratt's family. Weichmann testified that on the day Abraham Lincoln was shot, April 14, 1865, he accompanied Mary Surratt to her other property in Surrattsville, (now Clinton, Maryland), where she delivered items that Booth later retrieved hours after the assassination. He further testified that Mary Surratt met with John Wilkes Booth no fewer than three times on that fateful day. Dr. Samuel Mudd, who treated Booth's broken leg on the night Lincoln was killed, and claimed to have no knowledge of the conspiracy, was linked by Weichmann's testimony to the events for which he was tried and found guilty as well. Augustus Howell, a blockade runner who worked with John Surratt, Jr., claimed during the trial that Weichmann had provided classified information obtained by his position at the War Department over to the Confederates. He, supposedly, was hoping to obtain a better job from the Confederate government at Richmond in exchange for his services; however, these accusations were never substantiated.…
