Arthur.


Pra.iIent Arthur. Blgley's affidavit /. II
aefsct that about midnight last Monday night,
III Iyirg il his bed, which was in the lower
frn-t room. fronting on Miss luri avenue, he
heard two men talking OF the assassination
NJ President Arthur. Bagley states that the
,yind,w biads were closed, aad the two men
var lesuing against tree box Immediately
in fr 1t Of his room; that one OF the men
raij Il would OCCUR in one mouth that he
frsferrine 10 SONS man VII Iss name was lot
,r1.iopell had sworn to xiii President
Artnur within hat time: that the man who
had thus sworn was Garfield R7pubiican.
Rsglev said he way % much agitated that he
did not know what to do that the next day
he Informed the Chief Clerk Of his division
Of what he had heard, and he advised Bagley
to report the facts to the police. Upon his
advice BagIsy fled his sworn statement.
The police authorities do not attach much
importance TO this matter, but have quietly
taken some precautions for the protection of
the President. II seems there is no doubt
that Bagley overheard the conversation he
reported, but it was probably some half
drunken fellows talking. Bagey is a nephew
Of H. 2 II. Bagiey, OF Virginia, who was
the Republican candidate for Congress last
year. and he was appointed to office By Sen
ator J. gan He has written to Senator Lo-
gan an account Of the affair.
