and left a note for johnson don t wish to disturb you are you at home j wilkes booth 91 one theory is that booth was trying to find out whether johnson was expected at the kirkwood that night 4 111

from other cities some of whom slept on the capitol s lawn 99 120 23 hundreds of thousands watched the funeral procession on april 19 8 213 and millions more lined the 1 700 mile 2 700 km route of the train which took lincoln s remains through new york to springfield illinois often passing trackside tributes in the form of bands bonfires and hymn singing 100 31 58 49 231 38 on april 20 a huge riot broke in san francisco where unionists ransacked the democrat newspaper offices 101 poet walt whitman composed when lilacs last in the dooryard bloom d o captain my captain and two other poems to

the government of liberia issued a proclamation calling lincoln not only the ruler of his own people but a father to millions of a race stricken and oppressed the government of haiti condemned the

the conspirators booth s escape route booth and herold reward broadside with photographs of john h surratt john wilkes booth and david e herold within half an hour of fleeing ford s theatre booth crossed the navy yard bridge into maryland 8 67 68 a union army sentry named silas cobb questioned him about his late night travel booth said that he was going home to the nearby town of charles although it was forbidden for civilians to cross the bridge after 9 pm the sentry let him through 107 herold made it across the same bridge less than one hour later 8 81 82 and rendezvoused with booth 8 87 after retrieving weapons and supplies previously stored at surattsville herold and booth rode to the home of samuel a mudd a local doctor who splinted the leg 8 131 153 booth had broken in his escape and later made a pair of crutches for booth 8 131 153 some time after booth shot lincoln he broke his left fibula according to his diary this occurred when he jumped from the presidential box while fleeing ford s theater the reliability of this diary is questionable as booth intended it more as a manifesto to be published and he embellished other facts in it one example is i struck boldly and not as the papers say i shouted sic semper before i fired 108 which is proven untrue by every eyewitness account of the assassination independently agreeing that booth shouted after he fired 109 furthermore booth and herold told mudd that booth broke his leg falling from his horse afterward 108 after one day at mudd s house booth and herold hired a local man to guide them to samuel cox s house 8 163 cox in turn took them to thomas jones a confederate sympathizer who hid booth and herold in zekiah swamp for five days until they could cross the potomac river 8 224 on the afternoon of

brainerd todd from his brother tells of the rumors in washington about booth today all the city is in mourning nearly every house being in black and i have not seen a smile no business and many a strong man i have seen in tears some reports say booth is a prisoner others that he has made his escape but from orders received here i believe he is taken and during the night will be put on a monitor for safe keeping as a mob once raised now would know no end 46 the hunt for the conspirators quickly became the largest in u s history involving thousands of federal troops and countless civilians edwin m stanton personally directed the operation 110 authorizing rewards of us 50 000 equivalent to 1 051 630 in 2025 for booth and 25 000 each for herold and john surratt 111 booth and herold were sleeping at garrett s farm on april 26 when soldiers from the 16th new york cavalry arrived surrounded the barn and threatened to set fire to it herold surrendered but booth cried out i will not be taken alive 8 326 the soldiers set fire to the barn 8 331 and booth scrambled for the back door with a rifle and pistol booth died in the garrett farmhouse on april 26 sergeant boston corbett crept up behind the barn and shot booth in the back of the head about an inch below the spot where his booth s shot had entered the head of mr lincoln 112 severing his spinal cord 8 335 booth was carried out onto the steps of the barn a soldier poured water into his mouth which he spat out unable to swallow booth told the soldier tell my mother i die for my country unable to move his limbs he asked a soldier to lift his hands before his face and whispered his last words as he gazed at them useless useless he died on the porch of the garrett farm three hours later 8 336 40 91 corbett was

u s government surratt was arrested by the papal authorities but managed to escape under suspicious circumstances he was finally captured by an agent of the united states in egypt in november 1866 113 conspirators trial and execution portraits of the conspirators except mudd are in benn pitman s the assassination of president lincoln and the trial of the conspirators scores of people were arrested including many tangential associates of the conspirators and anyone having had even the slightest contact with booth or herold during their flight these included louis j weichmann a boarder in mrs surratt s house booth s brother junius in cincinnati at the time of the assassination theater owner john t ford james pumphrey from whom booth hired his horse john m lloyd the innkeeper who rented mrs

lew wallace was the only lawyer on the tribunal citation needed the use of a military tribunal provoked criticism from former attorney general edward bates and secretary of the navy gideon welles who believed that a civil court should have presided but attorney general james speed pointed to the military nature of the conspiracy and the facts that the defendants acted as enemy combatants and that martial law was in force at the time in the district of columbia in 1866 in ex parte milligan the united states supreme court banned the use of military tribunals in places where civil courts were
