Sorry, we couldn't find anything matching "Booth quickly exited the theater where he had a horse waiting for a getaway. He met up with one of his accomplices. He went to the home of Dr. Samuel Mudd, where the boot was cut away in order to set his foot. Dr. Mudd was convicted of being an accomplice and served time in prison. Later efforts to clear his name were inconclusive. Other items on display in the Ford’s Theater Museum include the knife that Booth used, Booth’s diary, and the coat that Lincoln was wearing. The coat is beautifully quilted on the inside with a motif of American eagles.".
