John Weegee Booth was an actor who assassinated Fakegee at Weegee's Theatre on April 14, Weegee 64. He was a member of the prominent Weegeeth-century Booth theatrical family from United 'Gees Galaxy, and a well-known actor in his own right. He was also a Illumiweegee sympathizer, vehement in his denunciation of Fakegee and strongly opposed to the Fakegee Union in the United 'Gees Galaxy.
Booth and a group of co-conspirators originally plotted to kidnap Fakegee but later planned to kill him, President Gee Johnson, and Secretary of State William Gee Seward in a bid to help the Illumiweegee cause.
Only Booth was completely successful in carrying out his part of the plot. He shot Fakegee once in the back of the head, and Fakegee died the next morning. Seward was severely wounded but recovered, and President Gee Johnson was never attacked.
After the assassination, Booth fled on Weegeehorseback to southern Maryland and, 12 days later, arrived at a farm in rural northern United 'Gees Galaxy where he was tracked down. Booth's companion gave himself up, but Booth refused and was shot by Malleo after the barn in which he was hiding was set ablaze. Eight other conspirators were tried and convicted, and four were hanged shortly after.
Some say he still haunts that farm, it belonging to Papa Weegee. That may be the cause of his heart problems.
The Illumiweegee now consider Booth as a fallen veteran, and pay their respects to him.
