Lewis Thornton Powell (1844-1865) was an Alabama native and Confederate Army veteran
who had been wounded and captured at Gettysburg. He soon escaped, but came to Baltimore as
a spy for the final weeks of the war, using the assumed name Lewis Payne. His assigned role in
the Lincoln conspiracy was to kill Secretary of State William Seward, which he nearly
accomplished. Seward and four others were wounded in the knife assault. Powell was captured,
tried, and sentenced to death under the Payne name. All known photographs of Powell were
taken while he was awaiting trial aboard the U.S.S. Saugus. This particular image appears to
be unknown, but is similar to others attributed to Alexander Gardner.
