ice president andrew johnson at the kirkwood hotel and herold to guide powell who was unfamiliar with washington to the seward house and then to a rendezvous with booth in maryland booth was the only well known member of the conspiracy access to the theater s upper floor containing the presidential box was restricted and booth was the only plotter who could have realistically expected to be admitted there without difficulty it would have been reasonable but ultimately incorrect for the plotters to have assumed that the entrance of the box would be guarded had it been booth would have been the only plotter with a plausible chance of gaining access to lincoln or at least to gain entry to the box without being searched for weapons first booth planned to shoot lincoln at point blank range with his single shot philadelphia deringer pistol and then stab grant at the theater they were all to strike simultaneously shortly after ten o clock 4 112 atzerodt tried to withdraw from the plot which to this point had involved only kidnapping not murder but booth pressured him to continue 3 212 assassination lincoln arrives at the theater lincoln s box president lincoln was sitting in this chair when he was shot photo by mathew b brady despite what booth had heard earlier in the day grant and his wife julia grant had declined to accompany the lincolns as mary lincoln and julia grant were not on good terms 33 45 b others in succession also declined the lincolns invitation until finally major henry rathbone and his fiancée clara harris daughter of u s senator ira harris of new york accepted 8 32 at one point mary developed a headache and was inclined to stay home but lincoln told her he must attend because newspapers had announced that he would 35 william h crook one of lincoln s bodyguards advised him not to go but lincoln said he had promised his wife 36 lincoln told speaker of the house schuyler colfax i suppose it s time to go though i would rather stay before assisting mary into the carriage the presidential party arrived late and settled into their box made from two adjoining boxes with a dividing partition removed the play was interrupted and the orchestra played hail to the chief as the full house of about 1 700 rose in applause 37 lincoln sat in a rocking chair that had been selected for him from among the ford family s personal furnishings 38 39 the cast modified a line of the play in honor of lincoln when the heroine asked for a seat protected from the draft the reply scripted as well you re not the only one that wants to escape the draft was delivered instead as the draft has already been stopped by order of the president 40 a member of the audience observed that mary lincoln often called her husband s attention to aspects of the action onstage and seemed to take great pleasure in witnessing his enjoyment 41 at one point mary whispered to lincoln who was holding her hand what will miss harris think of my hanging on to you so lincoln replied she won t think anything about it 8 39 in following years these words were traditionally considered lincoln s last though n w miner a family friend claimed in 1882 that mary lincoln told him that lincoln s last words expressed a wish to visit jerusalem 42 booth shoots lincoln re enactment of lincoln s assassination as portrayed in d w griffith s silent film the birth of a nation 1915 lincoln s usual protections were not in place that night at ford s crook was on a second shift at the white house 43 and ward hill lamon lincoln s personal bodyguard was away in richmond on assignment from lincoln john frederick parker was assigned to guard the presidential box 44 at intermission he went to a nearby tavern with lincoln s valet charles forbes and coachman francis burke booth had several drinks while waiting for his planned time it is unclear whether parker returned to the theater but he was certainly not at his post when booth entered the box 45 in any event there is no certainty that entry would have been denied to a celebrity such as booth booth had prepared a brace to bar the door after entering the box indicating that he expected a guard after spending time at the tavern booth entered ford s theatre one last time at about 10 10 pm this time through the theater s front entrance he passed through the dress circle and went to the door that led to the presidential box after showing charles forbes his calling card navy surgeon george brainerd todd saw booth arrive 46 about 10 25 pm a man came in and walked slowly along the side on which the pres box was and i heard a man say there s booth and i turned my head to look at him he was still walking very slow and was near the box door when he stopped took a card from his pocket wrote something on it and gave it to the usher who took it to the box in a minute the door was opened and he walked in once inside the hallway booth barricaded the door by wedging a stick between it and the wall from here a second door led to lincoln s box evidence shows that earlier in the day booth had bored a peephole in this second door 47 48 173 booth knew the play our american cousin and waited to time his shot at about 10 15 pm with the laughter at one of the lines of the play delivered by actor harry hawk well i guess i know enough to turn you inside out old gal you sockdologizing old man trap lincoln was laughing at this line 49 96 when booth opened the door stepped forward and shot him from behind with his pistol 50 the bullet entered lincoln s skull behind his left ear passed through his brain and came to rest near the front of the skull after fracturing both orbital plates c 53 lincoln slumped over in his chair and then fell backward 55 56 rathbone turned to see booth standing in gunsmoke less than four feet behind lincoln booth shouted a word that rathbone thought sounded like freedom 57 booth escapes the murder weapon is booth s philadelphia deringer booth s dagger rathbone jumped from his seat and struggled with booth who dropped the pistol and drew a dagger with which he stabbed rathbone in the left forearm rathbone again grabbed at booth as he prepared to jump from the box to the stage a twelve foot drop 58 booth s riding spur became entangled on the treasury flag decorating the box and he landed awkwardly on his left foot as he began crossing the stage many in the audience thought he was part of the play booth held his bloody knife over his head and yelled something to the audience while it is traditionally held that booth shouted the virginia state motto sic semper tyrannis thus always to tyrants either from the box or the stage witness accounts conflict 9 739 most recalled hearing sic semper tyrannis but others including booth himself said he yelled only sic semper 59 60 some did not recall booth saying anything in latin there is similar uncertainty about what booth shouted next in english either the south is avenged 8 48 revenge for the south or the south shall be free two witnesses remembered booth s words as i have done it immediately after booth landed on the stage joseph b stewart climbed over the orchestra pit and footlights and pursued booth across the stage 58 the screams of mary lincoln and clara harris and rathbone s cries of stop that man 8 49 prompted others to join the chase as pandemonium broke out booth exited the theater through the back door and on the way stabbed orchestra leader william withers jr 61 62 as he leapt into the saddle of his getaway horse booth pushed away joseph burroughs a who had been holding the horse striking burroughs with the handle of his knife 64 65 66 63 death of lincoln a hermann faber sketch of bystanders present at lincoln s deathbed charles leale a young union army surgeon pushed through the crowd to the door of the presidential box but could not open it until rathbone inside noticed and removed the wooden brace with which booth had jammed the door shut 4 120 leale found lincoln seated with his head leaning to his right 52 as mary held him and sobbed his eyes were closed and he was in a profoundly comatose condition while his breathing was intermittent and exceedingly stertorous 67 68 thinking lincoln had been stabbed leale shifted him to the floor meanwhile another physician charles sabin taft was lifted into the box from the stage after leale and bystander william kent cut away lincoln s collar while unbuttoning his coat and shirt and found no stab wound leale located the gunshot wound behind the left ear he found the bullet too deep to be removed but dislodged a blood clot after which lincoln s breathing improved 4 121 22 he learned that regularly removing new clots maintained lincoln s breathing after giving lincoln artificial respiration leale allowed actress laura keene to cradle the president s head in her lap he pronounced the wound mortal 8 78 leale taft and another doctor albert king decided that lincoln must be moved to the nearest house on tenth street because a carriage ride to the white house was too dangerous seven men carefully picked up lincoln and slowly carried him out of the theater which was packed with an angry mob after considering peter taltavull s star saloon next door they concluded that they would take lincoln to one of the houses across the way it was raining as soldiers carried lincoln into the street 69 where a man urged them toward the house of tailor william petersen 70 in petersen s first floor bedroom the exceptionally tall lincoln was laid diagonally on a small bed 4 123 24 after clearing everyone out of the room including mrs lincoln the doctors cut away lincoln s clothes but discovered no other wounds finding that lincoln was cold they applied hot water bottles and mustard plasters while covering him with blankets later more physicians arrived surgeon general joseph k barnes charles henry crane and robert k stone lincoln s personal physician d skull fragments and a probe used all agreed lincoln could not survive barnes probed the wound locating the bullet and some bone fragments throughout the night as the hemorrhage continued they removed blood clots to relieve pressure on the brain 73 and leale held the comatose president s hand with a firm grip to let him know that he was in touch with humanity and had a friend 4 14 74 the following minutes taken by dr abbott e show the condition of the president throughout the night evening star washington d c april 15 1865 75 medical illustration of the trajectory of the bullet 1953 lincoln s older son robert todd lincoln

welles and secretary of war edwin m stanton arrived stanton insisted that the sobbing mrs lincoln leave the sick room then for the rest of the night he essentially ran the united states government from the house including directing the hunt for booth and the other conspirators 4 127 28 guards kept the public away but numerous officials and physicians were admitted to pay their respects 73 initially lincoln s features were calm and his breathing slow and steady later one of his eyes became swollen and the right side of his face discolored 76 maunsell bradhurst field wrote in a letter to the new york times that lincoln then started breathing regularly but with effort and did not seem to be struggling or suffering 77 78 lincoln s deathbed after his body was removed f as he neared death lincoln s appearance became perfectly natural 77 except for the discoloration around his eyes 80 shortly before 7 am mary was allowed to return to lincoln s side 81 and as dixon reported she again seated herself by the president kissing him and calling him every endearing name 82 lincoln died at 7 22 am on april 15 83 mary lincoln was not present 84 85 in his last moments lincoln s face became calm and his breathing quieter 86 field wrote there was no apparent suffering no convulsive action no rattling of the throat only a mere cessation of breathing 77 78 according to lincoln s secretary john hay at the moment of lincoln s death a look of unspeakable peace came upon his worn features 87 the assembly knelt for a prayer after which stanton said either now he belongs to the ages or now he belongs to the angels 4 134 88 89 on lincoln s death vice president johnson became the 17th president of the united states the presidential oath of office was administered to johnson by chief

booth made his way to the presidential box at ford s theater powell told bell that he had medicine from seward s physician and that his instructions were to personally show seward how to take it
