On April 14, 1865, President and Mrs. Lincoln attended the play Our American Cousin at Ford's Theatre in Washington, DC. As Lincoln sat in his state box in the balcony, Booth came up behind him and waited for what he thought would be the funniest line of the play, hoping the laughter would muffle the noise of the gunshot. When the laughter started, Booth jumped into the box and aimed a single-shot, round-slug 0.44 caliber Deringer at Lincoln's head, firing at point-blank range. The President, age 56, was fatally wounded and died at 7:22:10 AM the following day.

Booth escaped with a broken leg after jumping to the stage below. But two weeks later Federal troops tracked him down at a farm in rural Virginia, and Booth was shot and killed. Eight others involved were tried and convicted by a military tribunal : four were hung, one died of yellow fever in prison, and the other three were pardoned by President Andrew Johnson in 1869.
