A slight correction: Sec. of State Seward was recuperating from a bad carriage accident. If not for his wearing a jaw splint, he might have been killed. He was stabbed several times in the face with a Bowie knife wielded by Louis Powell (aka Paine). It was Seward's son Frederick who was beaten severely on the head by Powell with the pistol that had misfired. He wasn't expected to survive, but he did. As for the V.P., George Atzerodt was supposed to assassinate him, but he chickened out. He was later taken into custody when he showed up at Mary Surratt's boarding house at the same time investigators were there. He claimed he was doing some work for Mrs. Surratt, but she denied even knowing him.
Thanks!
