No. Twelve days after escaping from the theater where he had shot Lincoln, he was cornered in a shed in Virginia, which was set on fire. He was shot by Sgt Boston Corbett in the confusion, and then dragged from the shed still alive. However, he died shortly afterward. The bullet struck Booth in the neck, paralyzing him and making it difficult for him to talk. He died a short time later. Ironically, Boston Corbet eventually had problems and did something odd like robbed a bank and was confined to a mental ward. He escaped and disappeared and some say he comitted suicide.
