THE PRESIDENTS MOTHER
Not Yet Informed Of the News-Presenti-
ment of Disaster.

WASHINGTON, July IA messenger who
went down to Scion this afternoon, where Gar
fields mother and two sisters live says that
the news was received there from newspaper
extras thrown off the train. Immediately on
receipt of the intelligence, Mrs. M. f. LARA
mother has been staying, sent her mother to
Mrs M. Trowbridge's, another sister, about
quarter of mile away, out of hearing of the
dreadful news. An hour later the following
dispatch was received by Mrs. Larrabee:

The Scene at the White House-Efforts Of
the President to Pacify Weeping
Friends.
At 1920 police ambulance, containing the
wounded President, and in charge of Chief
Cronan of the fire department, with Col. Rock
we'll personally attending the President,
reached the White House by way of the pri-
vate grounds in the rear OF the mansion. Ar
irving at the stairway, directly back of the
blue room, the ambulance was brought to
stop, the President carefully removed and
placed upon stretcher and borne up the stair
way, through the blue and red rooms, to his
private apartments on the second floor and on
the south side of the mansion. When being
carried through the blue room the President
made an effort witt. his left hand to salute
those who stood about the room and whom he
apparently recognized. Among those present
were Secretary and Mrs. Window, Admiral
Porter, Mrs Blaine, Mrs. Attorney General
McVeagh, Mrs. Secretary Hunt and others.
The President looked very badly, despite an
evident effort to pacify the excited and weep
ing friends who had hastily assembled in this
historic room to await his arrival. The white
covering of the stretcher was crimson with the
blood which oozed from his wounds. While
the body was passing through the room to the
apartments above, Mrs. Window was overcome
with emotion and had to be conveyed to sofa.
Mrs. Blaine was also much affected, and was
taken from the room. The others present en-

General James and Attorney General Mac
Veagh Joined the assembly, and participated
in the conversation, the former detailing the
incidents as they occurred at the scene OF the
shooting. Presently one of the colored at
taches of the White House brought in the coat
and vest of the President, which had been re-
moved at the depot. The coat had a cut about
two and half inches long, Immediately be-
low the elbow of the right arm, which pre-
sumptively had been made by the ball first
fred by the assassin. The back portion of the
vest, near the buckle, showed hole an eighth
of an inch in diameter and was so shaped as to
lead to the conclusion that in firing this, the
probably fatal shot, the assassin held the
revolver in an inclined position, as though
reaching over some obstruction, in order to
make sure of his victim. The front portion of
the vest was covered with vomt.

sides at West Fortieth street, was present in
the depot at Washington to-day when Presi-
dent Garfield was shot by Charles Guiteau.
Mr. Comacho arrived in this city at 4 o'clock

alight therefrom. 1 took little notice of them
at the time, but in minute l observed that

together for some minutes, when they walked

bent, and he took two or three hasty steps
toward the President and fired again. The
first ball took effect in the Presidents right
side and the second one struck him in the
back. When the second shot was fred the
President fell to the earth. The would be
assassin, seeing Gen. Garfield fall, turned and
attempted to escape by the B street entrance
and hurried toward that door, and when the
villain saw that 1 intended to head him off, he
turned and ran toward the opposite entrance,
where he was caught by a number of employees
in the depot. When the President was shot
and when he fell to the ground he spoke not a

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 2.-When the
prisoner arrived at the jail he was neatly at
tired in a suit of blue and wore drab hat
pulled down over his eyes, giving him the APP
pearance of an ugly character. 1t may be
worthy of note to state that some two or three
weeks ago Guiteau went to the Jail for the
purpose of visiting it, but was refused admit
lance on the ground that it was not visitors
day. He at that time mentioned his name as
Guiteau, and said that he came from Chicago.
When brought to the jail to-day he was adj
mitted by the officer who had previously re-
fused to allow him to enter, and mutual rec
IGNITION took place, Guiteau saying, "You are
the man who would not let me go through the
iail some time ago." The only other remark
he made before being placed in his cell was
that Gen. Sherman would arrive at the jail
soon. The two jailors who are now guarding
his cell state that they have seen him around
the Jail several times recently, and that on one
occasion he appeared to be under the influence
of liquor. On one of his visits subsequent to
the first one mentioned, these officers say that
Gniteau succeeded in reaching the rotunda of
the building, where he was noticed examining
the scaffold from which the Hirth murderers
were hanged. Pursuant to orders from the
Attorney General, the officer in charge OF the
Jail declined to give any further information.

was confined The officer was an attendant at
the old city Jail at the time of the assassination
of President Lincoln.
