Fascinating story concerning Mr. Payne. On that horrible night Booth assassinated President Lincoln, Payne was to kill Secretary of State William H. Seward. The plot of conspirators was to kill Lincoln, Seward, and Vice President Johnson. Seward was severely injured but survived and the attempt on Johnson did not take place.

Your colorization is excellent and the picture was a brief time out for Payne who was given a trial, found guilty, and hung in the Navy Yard with several of his conspirators.

I remember seeing this image in an article about the assassination and subsequent trial of the conspirators, and John's correct about the range of targets they had that night. (Incidentally, the president' son Tad, who had just turned 12 years old, ten days earlier, was at Grover's Theatre that same evening, viewing the play "Aladdin! or His Wonderful Lamp" when the information about the president's shooting was announced.) These misguided individuals thought they were getting revenge for the loss of the war---Robert E. Lee having surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox Courthouse just 5 days earlier---but in fact condemned the south to years of hardship. Lincoln had no intention of allowing the south to be punished by costly reparations, instead wanting only to welcome the confederate states back into the union, the prodigal children of the United States. Ulysses Grant's diplomatic treatment of Lee and his army at the surrender was to be the beginning of the healing with which Lincoln had instructed Grant to enact. With Lincoln gone, bitter politicians struck back at an unarmed south, pressing them with economic hardship, racism, and carpetbaggers, and a stigma that, in some areas, is still in effect today.

Probably one of the first "Mug" shots that define our criminals today Rob. Interesting information from John & Knik. Sad time in our history.
Good work per usual.

Incredible history, your colorization is stupendous here, it just speaks volumes, you have the essence of his thoughts, and it is a dramatic and striking scene.
