Answer:

Michael O'Laughlen.

Step-by-step explanation:

O'Laughlen was a childhood friend of John Wilkes Booth, living across the street from the Booth family in Baltimore. An ex-Confederate soldier and one of Booth's earliest recruits in the fall of 1864, O'Laughlen agreed to assist in the plot to kidnap President Lincoln.
