Beyond Lincoln's death the plot failed: Seward was only wounded and Johnson's would-be attacker lost his nerve. After a dramatic initial escape, Booth was killed at the climax of a 12-day manhunt.

Of the eight other people eventually charged with the conspiracy, four were hanged and four were jailed.
