What reading level is The Judicial Murder of Mary E Surratt book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Surratt any more than in the' cases of Herold, Atzerodt and Payne much more that it had been found necessary to resort to a petition to the President, was 1 entirely unknown to the public at large. As to what had taken place in the sessions of the Court when the sentences were made up, every member thereof and the three Judge- Advocates were sworn to secrecy ; and, outside these officers, the knowledge of the petition was confined to the Secretary of War (pos- sibly the Attorney-General) and on...e or two subordi- nates in the War Department. The record of the findings and sentences, to which the petition was attached, was kept from the official reporters, and not a soul outside a close coterie in the War Depart- ment was allowed to set eyes on it.
In the recital of the death sentences in the order of the Adjutant-General directing their execution, the sentence of the woman differed in no respect from the three sentences of the men which preceded it. So far as the public eye could discover, there was not a gleam of mercy for the woman in the bosom of the Commission.
