Vice-president Andrew Johnson and Secretary of State Seward are the answers to your question. But, your question has implications that are incorrect. Booth planned to kill no one. He planned to kidnap Lincoln and no one else. Many others were planning to kill Lincoln. Late in the afternoon of April 14, 1865, Booth was brought into a plan to kill Lincoln. It was not his plan!!! He was just the assassin. Booth killed Lincoln. The assassins of Vice-president Andrew Johnson and Secretary of State Seward failed to kill their intended victims. Because John Wilkes Booth was successful in killing Lincoln, he has been given the credit for the for the planning of all three assassinations. He did not create the plans or organize the personnel for a successful mission. That does not mean there was no planning. There was an immense amount of planning by a trusted friend of Lincoln's, Edwin Stanton.
April 14, 1865, 5:30 p.m. Booth went to see Vice-president Andrew Johnson, to tell him that he had given up on kidnapping Lincoln and he was returning to acting. Johnson convinced Booth that now was the last chance to save the Confederacy and he must kill Lincoln. When Booth agreed to kill Lincoln, Johnson gave him the password to get over the bridge leaving Washington. April 14, 1865, 10:15 p.m. Booth puts a bullet in Lincoln's head.
John Wilkes Booth did killed Lincoln. When he was at a play.
