He had detailed a bodyguard to protect Grant, whom he regarded as an assassination target.
When the Grants cried-off, Lincoln reckoned he himself didn't need a guard.
There was one theatre policeman, who had gone off for a drink.
There is a popular version that says Lincoln did have a bodyguard in the Presidential Box, but the show was so riveting that he was watching the stage when he should have been watching the door. This is very believable, but unfortunately there is no truth in this colourful anecdote.
