<span style="font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19.1875px;">After forcing his way up to the second floor to meet Frederick Seward, who told him that he can't see his injured father, Powell knocked Frederick in the skull, leaving him unconscious. After shoving Seward's daughter Fanny, he managed to stab Seward at his face Though he was badly disfigured for life, the metal brace saved him, making Powell enraged by yelling, "I'm Mad! I'm Mad!"</span>

This caused George Robinson and Seward's son Augustus to wrestle with Powell while David Herold left Powell behind, leaving to escape the city without him.

After Powell beat both the sergeant and the son, he managed to escape the house by stabbing a messenger and mounted his horse out of Washington D.C. He would later be forced to hide in a cemetery before being arrested at Mary Surratt's boarding house on April 17.
