Booth's primary accomplices were Lewis Powell, David Herold, and George Atzerodt. Powell attempted to kill secretary of state Seward, and Atzerodt was assigned to kill vice president Johnson but didn't even try. Herold arranged the getaway.

David Herold was given the task of escorting Booth from Washington, DC to safety in the south. He knew the Potomac shores in Maryland and Virginia and provided competent service with a single glitch. For some reason they failed to properly navigate the river and ended up back in Maryland. That was the loss of 24 hours and brought the US Cavalry closer to them. He was tried by a military tribunal and hanged.
