Michael O'Laughlin appears in manacles in this April 1865 portrait by Alexander Gardner, made at the Washington Navy Yard. The record suggests the setting was one of the monitors, the Montauk or the Saugus, where the conspirators were held in irons before their military trial that spring. O'Laughlin, a former Confederate soldier and friend of John Surratt, had been assigned to kill Ulysses S. Grant. He was sentenced to life at hard labor and died in custody at Fort Jefferson in 1867.
