　　Time and time again, one may be warned, “your name will be mud.” Many have used the expression in the mistaken belief that it has something to do with the kind of dirt found in the streets or on unclean river bottoms. But the expression comes from the name of Doctor Samuel Alexander Mudd, a physician who fixed the broken leg of John Willes Booth, the man who killed President Abraham Lincoln. Doctor Mudd treated Booth's injured leg without knowing who he was.

　　A small group helped Booth to plan Lincoln's murder. They were all caught and sentenced to death or prison terms.

　　Doctor Mudd had nothing to do with Lincoln's murder or with any of the men who had planned it. All seemed to show that he was an innocent man. But he had given some kind of help only to leave Booth to escape. This in itself was a crime then. And so, Doctor Mudd was sentenced to prison fox life.

　　In prison, Doctor Mudd saved many prisoners and guards in a yellow fever outbreak. President Andrew Johnson pardoned him in 1869, after the doctor had spent almost four years in prison.

　　The American people considered the murder of Lincoln a heavy blow to them. It filled them with bitterness that lasted may years. They hated Booth very much and they also hated anybody who had helped the murderer in any way. Doctor Mudd was freed, but people never forgave him and his name passed into American folk speech as something bad, hateful. The Mudd family had also suffered a lot because of the name until not long ago.
