Sic Semper Tyrannis.
no John Wilkes Booth did not kill President Lincoln. He was easily recognizable, having been a nationally renown actor and considered the handsomest man in America. The other guests in the Presidential box recognized him, the stagehand holding his horse outside knew him. (NEW RESPONDENT) I don't understand this answer. There are many conflicting versions of the events of that night. But nobody has tried to prove the innocence of Booth.
Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth. The President and Mrs. Lincoln were watching a play at Ford's Theatre in Washington DC on April 14, 1865 when he was shot by Booth. President Lincoln was taken across the street to the Pederson House where he died the following day.
After killing Lincoln, John Wilkes Booth fled Washington to his farm in the Shenandoah Valley where his wife Izola nursed him back to health. After Booth's leg healed he moved around place to place. In 1883, he found his way to India where he wrote a will to free up the money held in a US bank that was inaccessible to him. That money was deposited under Booth's stage name John Wilkes. After writing the will, he faked John Wilkes' death.After a long investigation by ex-president Ulises S. Grant, ex-General Lou Wallace and an ex-secret-service-agent by the name of Andrew Potter, they found the will to be valid and paid the money to Booth's heirs. Booth then found his way to Oklahoma where he died in 1903.Source: Lincoln, Davis, and Booth
