Here’s a sample of what occurred on this day in the Lincoln conspiracy trial:
- The court did not meet today in order to give the defense time to work on their closing arguments
- Some of the commission members met at Mathew Brady’s photography studio to have their photographs taken.

I will miss this when it concludes. Well done!
The ladies in their hoopskirts must have been dyng in that heat — fan or no fan
. But that was the place to be, I guess. They must have known someone in order to wrangle a ticket of admission. I wonder if any of them fainted and had to be taken down that steep staircase.
Richard,
On the entry for June 7th, there is an account of a woman fainting and having to be carried out of the courtroom because of the heat. So, yes, it did happen.
