John Wilkes Booth broke his leg two inches above his left ankle upon jumping to the stage floor after shooting Lincoln. During his escape in Maryland a Southern sympathizer Dr. Samuel Mudd set the leg into a splint. Mudd was later convicted for aiding Booth and sentenced to a prison term in a penitentiary in the Florida Keyes. Later US President Andrew Johnson would pardon him.
