Dr Samuel Mudd, member of the Lincoln conspiracy, 1865 (1955). Mudd (1833-1883) was arrested on suspicion of being an accomplice of John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of President Abraham Lincoln. Mudd treated Booth for the broken leg he suffered when escaping from Ford's Theatre in Washington DC after killing the president. Historians are divided on the subject of Mudd's involvement in the plot but he was found guilty of conspiracy and sentenced to life imprisonment. In 1869 he was pardoned by President Andrew Johnson and released. A print from Mathew Brady Historian with a Camera by James D Horan, Bonanza Books, New York, 1955.
