who did it."
A guard remarked, at looks like it was
an accident"
Guiteau made no reply, but evidently did
not take any stock in the suggestion.
| Sergeant Mason Is said by officers of the
battery to be the best shot in the company.
| He saws he had observed that every evening
when the guard arrived Guiteau took the
same position at the cell under the window
| For weeks Mason noticed this, and he made
| I'D his mind that bullet aimed at that spot
any evening just after the guard arrived
would hit Guiteau. From one view he could
see Guiteau through window opening in a
line with Guiteau's window. But he could
not FIRE direct shot from that position. He
had to go around the yard and get position
from another place, in order to command the
range of Guitaau's cell window. Mason did
not stop at his usual place of observation to
see if Guiteau was at the window, but as he
| had never failed to be there when the guard
arrived, Mason took it for granted that the
prisoner was at the window, so he hurried on
to point where he could get the range of
the window, and fired. without attempting to
make it certain that Guiteau was in range.
