Major Henry Rathbone, Lincoln's visitor, briefly wrestled with Booth, but Booth stabbed him and fled. Lincoln was brought across the street to Petersen House after being treated to by Doctor Charles Leale and two other doctors. Lincoln died at 7:22 a.m. on April 15 after being in a coma for eight hours. "Now he belongs to the ages," Stanton replied, saluting. Lincoln's body was put in a flag-wrapped casket, which was loaded into a hearse and escorted by Union soldiers to the White House. The next morning, President Johnson was sworn in.
