It would make sense, but when did these guys start doing things that made sense.
I would guess no, he didn't think that far ahead

He made no attempt to disguise himself when he killed Lincoln. With his knowledge of theater makeup he could have. He made no attempt to hide his identity. He even wanted to be identified, as he left letters behind to be published so he could get the credit for killing Lincoln. Not the actions of your rational assassin.
