He did! I believe he got away with the crime and went on to live a long life (a minority opinion). The plot to kidnap Lincoln on the 14th fell apart that afternoon. At about 5pm, Booth was talked into killing Lincoln.
Booth did not die at the Garrett farm and Booth's life long friend, John Stevenson, tells what happened.
People were ready and in place to help with the kidnapping of Lincoln. Booth had planned that Captain Scott and his ship would take Lincoln away. Now, Booth intended to use that ship for his escape.
After killing Lincoln and crossing the Navy Yard Bridge, he galloped toward the ship. His horse tripped and fell in the darkness of night. Booth's horse rolled over on its side with Booth in the saddle. He broke his leg and hurt his back. His plans changed. Booth decided to get treatment for his leg and back. He headed to Dr. Mudd's farm. Dr. Mudd was part of the 'doctors line' helping escaped, hurt, and wounded Confederate soldiers get back to the south.
After leaving Dr. Mudd's farm, Booth headed for his farm that was about fifty miles away in the Shenandoah Valley. There Booth's wife would care for him. This was not his plan at the beginning because it could be putting Izola in jeopardy as a co-conspirator in Lincoln's assassination.
