Brooks, while under the influence of
liquor, entered Judge Advocate General
Dunn's room and in threatening man
ler declared that if no one else shot
Vice President Arthur he would. and
that the country demanded some life for
that of the President Word was sent
over to the White House for an officer,
but on the arrival of Sergeant Dinsmore,
whodoes duty at the Executive Mansion,
he was told that Brooks had quieted
down and would regret his actions very
much when he got sober. The sergeant
then left, but soon after a couple of
other officers arrived and they concluded
it would be the safest plan TO lock Brooks
up, which was accordingly done.
