April 14   On This Day 1865: President Lincoln Killed by John Wilkes Booth           Dear Readers, On April 14, 1865, just days after the end of the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln was shot while watching a play at Ford's Theatre by John Wilkes Booth, a Confederate loyalist and actor at the theater. It was the first presidential assassination in American history. Though injured, Booth managed to flee the theater and escape to the South, where-to his disbelieve-he found little support among the locals. Union troops tracked Booth through the countryside and surrounded him inside a Virginia farmhouse twelve days after the assassination. They set the barn on fire and, against orders, shot and killed him as he remained inside. Read the full story. April 14 is the birthday of Frank Serpico, the New York City police officer who revealed rampant corruption within the NYPD. He was famously portrayed by Al Pacino in the 1973 biopic "Serpico."
