On the night of his assassination, President Lincoln and his wife Mary were attending a play, Our American Cousin, at Ford's Theater in Washington DC. His guests were an Army officer, Major Henry Rathbone, and his fiancee, Clara Harris.
After John Wilkes Booth shot Lincoln, Rathbone tried to stop him, but Booth used a knife to badly cut his arm; Rathbone was however able to trip up Booth, causing him to break his leg as he tried to escape. Rathbone felt guilty for being unable to stop Booth and eventually went insane. In 1883, he murdered his wife, Clara, and unsuccessfully tried to murder his children and then himself. He spent the rest of his life in an insane asylum in Germany (where he was living at the time of Clara's death).
