Although it is an historical fact that Dr. Mudd knew John Wilkes Booth, he did not know that Booth had shot the President. In an era of no TV, radio, and satellites news travelled much slower in 1865. When he found out the next day he insisted that Booth leave his house at once. He was later convicted as part of the conspiracy and spent many years in prison.
