RE: Program on C-Span this weekend

From what little I've read I think Booth thought Seward was next in the line of succession, not Foster. Is there any evidence Booth knew Foster was next in line? Didn't John Coyle say he explained the line of succession to Booth shortly before (maybe the day of) the assassination?
