The door to the president's box was supposed to have been locked, and the hallway door leading to the president's box was supposed to be guarded by President Lincoln's personal guard, by the name of John Parker. Parker, was not guarding the door, instead, according to many observers, was downstairs at the tavern, next door to the theater.

Major Rathbone attended the play with the president. He said, " The door was not closed during the evening."
