 MUDD DECISION STANDS AFTER ARMY REVIEW [Free Republic]
On June 29, 1865, Mudd, despite his objections to being tried under military jurisdiction, was convicted of "receiving, entertaining, harboring and concealing" Booth and another man "with the intent to aid, abet and assist them in escaping from justice after the assassination," according to the decision of the Hunter Commission.

 And another thing . . .Muddying the waters of etymology

Samuel Mudd was convicted with his co-conspirators by the Hunter Commission, a military court, on the reasoning that Booth was not so much trying to assassinate the president as he was trying to eliminate the commander-in-chief of the Union army to disrupt the war effort.
Mudd himself opened it and assisted in bringing Booth into the house and in laying him upon a sofa in the parlor.
