Very little is known about the real Frederick Aiken. No photographs of him exist.
The Surratt boarding house still stands in Washington, DC's Chinatown.
The American Film Company's first film. Their mission is to make historically accurate films about America's past.
Large portions of the film's dialogue are directly from the trial transcripts.
Mary Surratt's house is now a museum in what was then Surrattsville, Maryland. The U.S. Post Office renamed the town Robeysville, due to the notoriety of the Surratt name. In 1879, Robeysville was renamed Clinton.
"Edwin Stanton: Young man... always indebted to you for your courage in the field, but you must learn to tread lightly. Frederick Aiken: Tread lightly? I will not tread lightly. You have predetermined her fate. Edwin Stanton: Mary Surratt's fate rests entirely with the Commission. My concern is preserving our Union. Frederick Aiken: Why did I fight for the Union if my rights aren't assured? You tell me. Edwin Stanton: Fine words for rallying the troops, not for running a nation. They assassinated our president, and someone must be held accountable. The people want that. Frederick Aiken: It's John Surratt you want. You don't even want Mary. Edwin Stanton: I'll settle for either one."
"Mary Surratt: So, have you handled cases like this before? Frederick Aiken: There's never been a case like this before."
