Dr. Samuel Mudd bound Booth's leg so he could continue to escape. Dr. Mudd was later pardoned. Booth escaped into Virginia and was found in a barn. Booth was shot and killed before a trail could be held. There have been many conspiracy theories about the people that helped Booth murder Lincoln.

Lincoln's assassin, actor and Confederate sympathizer John Wilkes Booth, had also plotted with fellow conspirators, Lewis Powell, to kill William H. Seward (then Secretary of State) and George Atzerodt to kill Vice President Andrew Johnson. Booth hoped to create chaos and overthrow the Federal government by assassinating Lincoln, Seward, and Johnson. Although Booth succeeded in killing Lincoln, the larger plot failed. Seward was attacked, but recovered from his wounds, and Johnson's would-be assassin fled Washington, D.C. upon losing his nerve. He was assassinated on April 15, 1865 by John Wilkes Booth
