IT should be a well documented feature film.It should be noted that Mary Surratt didn’t exactly “supply”Booth and Herold with weapons .According to the testimony of T.B.Hotel owner J.C.Thompson, David Herold had these weapons with him when he stayed there around the first of March 1865.John Loydd,keeper of Surratts tarvern, testified that John Surratt and David Herold brought these weapons to the tavern from T.B. for him to hide in the attic.Thompson also stated that among the items of Herold was a sword.We will never know exactly where Herold got these weapons.An intresting sidenote;In the early part of the Cival War a member of Dr. Mudd;s family was reported to authorities for supplying weapons for the confederate cause.Among the weapons listed were swords.Mary brought only Booth;s fieldglass to the tavern the day of the assassination.And obviously, at the request of her son John, she also brought the message that sealed her fate.Mr.Loydd ,I WANT YOU TO HAVE THOSE SHOOTING IRONS READY.THER WILL BE PARTIES CALLING FOR THEM.There is great opportunity here to recreate an incredible yet accurate film on the subject.
