WASHINGTON, July 12.-The following

ANNAPOLIS, July 10.
EDITOR STAR-As l was eye witness OF
the shooting Of President Garfield and
being able to explain which shot entered
the Chief Magistrates body and tie
course and present whereabouts Of the
ball that missed him, deem it proper to
impart to you the information l possess
in the tragedy, as it will clear away the
mystery of the lost bullet, which news
paper men are trying to solve. In the
Baltimore Sun, Friday, l noticed a few
lines that spoke of difference of opinion
as to whether it was the first or second
shot that struck the President, and the
mystery that surrounded the bullet that
entered the coat sleeve as no trace could
be found though most diligent search has
been made for it. They may search till
doomsday, but without success, for the
bullet that entered the Presidents sleeve,
a second after, passed into my possession
and is still retained by me as a relic, not
alone because of it's connection with the
President, but principally because it very
narrowly escaped entering my body,
which it would have done had its pro.
gress not been checked by large silver
medal which l wore suspended from my
