unaccountable means news was conveyed
to the multitude in the streets to the eff
feet that although the President was 1ot
dead he was MORALLY wounded. That
caused gloom to settle down upon the
city like a great pail and vast con-
course of people waited patiently outside
the depot for news from within. They re-
minded one strongly of friends and rela-
tives of dying man waiting to cross a
room to the chamber of death.
The suspense was dreadful. Business
men and ladies, with faces pale with ex-
citement, and eyes bloodshot with strain
ing, stared fixedly at the door of the de-
pot, and strove painfully to learn or
divine something about the wounded man
within. At last the door opened and one
of the doctors came out. The throng
pressed closely around him and begged
for information The medical man said:
"He is not dead; he is not in any imme-
date danger, and in fact there are hopes
of his recovery" In moment these
words were carried to all the people pres
ent, and transmitted from lip to lip and
from lip to wire all over the country. The
city drew long breath and the excite
ment, which had been at white heat thus
far, cooled off.
Then there was a stir on the outer edge
of the crowd and people were moved out
of the way and left every way TO make
room for an ambulance, which had been
summoned to transport the suffering
President to the White House. Tenderly
was he borne from the building to the
vehicle, and quietly and gently was he
laid on the mattrass therein. Then the
vehicle drove off slowly to the White
House, followed at a respectful distance
by the crowd. When he reached there
he was borne inside and was followed by
the Surgeon General, Dr. Bliss, who had
attended him from the first, and other
physicians. The friends of the wounded
chief stood sorrowfully about him, and
the doors were closed between him, his
future, and the thousands who stood In
the highways and by-ways OF the city
awaiting the end.

GUITEAU's LIFE IN WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, June 2.-Chas. Guiteau,
assassin of the President, is a Canadian
Frenchman by birth and halls from Chi
cago He came here in the month of
February with recommendations from
various parties in Illinois to secure the
United States consulshlp to Marseilles,
France He went in March to the we'll
known boarding house of Mrs. Lock-
wood, formerly Mrs. Rines, S12 Twelfth
Lockwood did not like his appearance
and gave him an out of the way room in
the house in hopes of getting rid of him.
He pretended to know Gen. Logan and
others then boarding there. Mrs. Lock-
wood states that he acted strange
ly at the time, at about the
middle of the month, when
she presented him his bill and he could
not pay it, He afterward left the house
saying he was expecting six thousand
dollar position, and would soon pay his
bill Mrs. Lockwoo ID showed the note to
| Gen. Logan, who said he was crazy.
Three weeks ago he met Mrs. Rockford of
Mrs. Lockwood's boarding house, on the
street and requested her not to say any
thing about the bill he owed, as it would
hurt him in his efforts to secure a posi-
| ton. Mrs. Lockwood says that Guiteau
was a great bother to Gen. Logan, so per-
sistent was he in his efforts to secure that
gentleman's efforts in his behalf. Since
leaving Mrs. Lockwood's house he has
been stopping at various places, never at
any great length of time, for the reason
that he appeared to have no friends. He
told one of the boarders at Mrs. Lock
woods that he expected to be appointed
minister to France, but did not desire it
to be known. Up to the day before yes
terday, when he registered at the Riggs
house, Guiteau has been stopping for the
last six weeks with no baggage but a
paper box at 900 Fourteenth street.
| A SENSATIONAL THEORY.
! WASHINGTON, June 2.-There is a Their
~ which has many adherents that the ct
tempted assassination was not the work
of lunatic, but the result OF plot much
deeper and darker than has been suspect
ed. 1t is cited in support OF this theory
that Guitteau arranged beforehand with a
| hackman to be in readiness to drive him
swiftly III the direction of the Congress
ional Cemetery as he made his appear
] ance on returning from the depot. III
| the meantime he had a bundle of papers
in the hands of boys, with the view, ii is
mentioned, to creating belief in his in
sanity in event of his capture. Guitteau
said ON his way to jail that the Presi-
dents assassination was premeditatcd
and he went to Long Branch for the pur-
pose OF shooting him there and was De
tered by the enfeebled and saddencd
condition of Mrs. Garfield, which ap-
pealed so strongly to his sense
of humanity that he came back without
carrying out his intention. Those Ia
| whom Guiteau has been examined since
the shooting, say he shows no symptoms
of insanity, and it is understood that tire
letter which has already been telegraphed,
addressed to the White House, is lie
only document in the collection which
supported the theory of insanity Ii is
reported that Guiteau has an accomplice
whose description is in the hands Of
the police and further, developments are
anxiously looked for.
