what were your duties, Major Smith?

I was charged with finding John Surratt,

and we were searching the house.
-
Major, I found these.

They were here in the daughter's bedroom.
-
Major Smith, please read aloud what's inscribed here.
-
"Sic semper tyrannis."
-
Could you translate?
-
Of course. "Thus always for tyrants."
-
Are those words familiar to you?
-
Indeed.
