What did John Wilkes Booth say in English after he shot Lincoln?

Answer 1

After he shot Lincoln he jumped off the balcony onto the stage, breaking his leg, and ran outside to his get-a-way horse. He was later caught. What he actually said while doing so is still debated. He is alleged to have said "Sic semper tyrannis" (Latin for "Thus always to tyrants"), and some suggested that he also said "I have done it, the South is avenged!"

Answer 2

After leaping down from the Presidential Box on to the stage (supposedly breaking his leg), he shouted something which sounded like the Latin motto "Sic Semper Tyrannis" - "This is what happens to tyrants".
