Death :-
On April 14, 1865, while watching a play in a theater in Washington, he was shot by a young man named John Wilkies Booth. After this incident, on the second day, on the morning of April 15, Abraham Lincoln died.
Once Lincoln and one of his associate lawyers got a sly man punished by court for encroaching on the land of a mentally ill woman. The matter lasted only fifteen minutes in the court. After the associate lawyer won, the fee-sharing stunned him. The associate counsel said that the woman's brother had paid the full fee and all were pleased with the court's decision, but Lincoln said - But I am not happy. That money belongs to a poor patient woman and I would rather starve than take such money. You return the amount of my fee to him.
