Statement of facts - Trial execution of Mrs. M. E. Surratt, ca. 1868-1872

Handwritten document which states that General Hancock was not involved in the Commission which tried the conspirators, nor in charge of the prisoners, nor the execution - written to defend Hancock from accusations regarding his responsibility for Surratt’s execution. The item is undated but written after Hancock was a potential Democratic presidential nominee (1868?) and before 1872.
