What happen to john booth after he kill Lincoln?

Answer 1

John Wilkes Booth never saw the inside of a jail. He was trapped by Union soldiers in a barn near Port Royal Virginia and was shot to death while resisting arrest. His accomplice, David Herold, was captured and spent two months in the Old Capitol prison before he was tried and executed by hanging.

Answer 2

He escaped The Ford's Theater and broke his leg after jumping down from the scene of the crime where he left to see Dr. Mudd to fix his broken leg. Later on, both Booth and Mudd were found and hanged.

John booth was not hanged, but shot. The militia officer who shot him was later convicted for shooting without orders. He claimed, however, that John Wilkes Booth was intent on killing him, so he had to save his own life.

Answer 3

Yes. He was sent to prison for the rest of his life. He died in jail. No. He was shot in a tobacco barn some days later and died after looking at his hands, muttering, "useless, useless!"

Answer 4

No he was not. Soldiers tracked him down and cornered him in a barn. He was shot.
