    LINCOLN'S
    ASSASSIN KILLED
    WITH PRECISE SHOT
    By DEXTER

    April26,1865
    John Wilkes
    Booth was killed in a Virginia
    barn at the Garrett household
    today by Boston Corbett.
    Other soldiers were being sent
    in on a suicide mission to
    attempt to disarm Booth by
    using all of his ammunition.
    The barn was set on fire, and in
    a desperate attempt to kill
    Booth, Corbett shot through
    the wall, despite being given
    specific orders not to do so. If
    the rest of his group had had
    their way, then they would have
    attempted to instead capture
    Booth, to collect the lucrative
    100,000$ reward. A precise
    shot from his pistol managed to
    hit Booth in the neck. Booth
    died several hours later, on a
    porch in Port Royal.
