WASHINGTON, August ~. - This
forenoon Republican extra stated
that Guiteau had tried to kill his keep
er. At police headquarters the story
was promptly denied, 1t is reported
later, however, that this forenoon the
guard, McGill, observed Guiteau at
tempting to conceal something under
his mattress, and asked what he was
doing. lie replied: "None Of your
businessr The guard went in to see,
aud Guiteau at once drew a knife from
under the bed, evidently manufactured
from the shank of shoe, and ATTEMPT
cd to stab the keeper in the breast.
lie only cut his coat, The keeper
clinched with him, and Guiteau reached
back and took pistol out Of the
keepers pocket and fired it. but missed
him. The prison guards were sum
moned and the prisoner was overpow-
cred, When the pistol was pointed at
him Guiteau said: 'Look out! Don't
be SO reckless Of human life."t 80
