Quote: "Neither can I in any other way properly present to view that tragically interesting tableau at the Federal Capitol, filled up with a murderous conclave of General officers who, having formed themselve into a tribunal, unknown to the constitution and laws of our country and with hearts dead to every pulsation of humanity, relentlessly consigned to a horrid and ignominious death an innocent and helpless woman."

Lady Justice is certainly a very good answer. Mary Surratt is also a very good answer. I think that Bingham was smart enough to be referring to both of them for economy of prose and effect.
