Title Washington, D.C. Coffins and Open Graves Ready for the Conspirators' Bodies at Right of Scaffold (U.S. Civil War) This title refers to a historical event that took place during the U.S. Civil War. It indicates the preparedness of coffins and open graves in Washington, D.C., specifically on the right side of the scaffold, presumably for those found guilty in the conspiracy trials related to President Abraham Lincoln's assassination.

The trials were held at the Old Courthouse in Washington, D.C., and resulted in several executions by hanging. This event marked a significant turning point in the aftermath of President Lincoln's assassination and underscores the gravity of the conspiracy to end his life.
