John Wilkes Booth, actually killed President Lincoln and others charged in the Lincoln assassination were George Atzerodt, Mary Sarrat. Lewis Powell and David Herold who were hung. Samuel Arnold, Michael O'Laughlin and Dr. Samuel Mudd were sentenced to life at hard labor and Edward Spangler was given a lesser sentence for holding Booth's horse at Ford's Theater.
