9. After John Wilkes Booth escaped the theater, where he assassinated president Aberham Lincoln, he headed south and met up with David Harold, his co-conspirator. Around midnight he stopped at Mary Surratt’s tavern in Surrattsville. At 4:00 a.m. Booth and Harold arrived at Dr.Mudd’s home where Mudd fixed Booth’s broken leg. Federal Authorities caught up with Booth and Harold at Garrett’s Farm near Port Royal, Virginia. The Federal Autorities told him to give up and come out of the barn where he was hiding but Booth stayed in while Harold left. The Federal Authorities decided to set the barn on fire but still there was no way that Booth would come out, so the Federal Authorities shot Booth to death. This all happened 12 days after the assassination of President Lincoln.
