Answer 10

Okay, so Wilkes Booth himself went out to assassin Lincoln. Ford's Theatre is where it occured. Watching Our American Cousin, he was shot in the head by well-known actor Wilkes Booth

Answer 11

So the assassination plot was meant to take out several key figures of Lincoln’s administration and some succeeded and some failed. Seward was in a house due to an unrelated medical complication and the assassin Powell went in with his getaway horse outside. Powell claimed to be delivering medicine and he gained entry into the house he was stopped by Seward’s son who demanded Powell give him the medicine. Powell obviously didn’t have any medicine and so he tried to shoot Seward’s son, he failed and then he clubbed Seward’s son. He ran into the bedroom threw aside Seward’s daughter and jumped on the bed where Seward was lying and stabbed him 5 times in the face and the neck. He was then thrown off by a soldier that was there to guard Seward and Powell managed to escape from him but not before injuring another of Seward’s son’s in the process. When he got outside he realized that his getaway horse and driver had bolted after hearing the commotion. He was captured the next day in Mary Surrat’s boarding house. Seward and everyone else survived the encounter. It was enough commotion to dissuade the plot for The Vice President Andrew Johnson’s life.
