The book ""The Judicial Murder Of Mary E. Surratt"" by David Miller DeWitt is a historical account of the trial and execution of Mary Surratt, who was accused of conspiring with John Wilkes Booth in the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. The author provides a detailed examination of the events leading up to Surratt's arrest, her trial, and her eventual execution by hanging.

Overall, ""The Judicial Murder Of Mary E. Surratt"" is a compelling and thought-provoking account of a controversial moment in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
