THE MURpERER OF GARFIELD.

1t is no doubt to be regretted that
people will Insist on hearing repeated
the annals of crime; but as long as the
fatal fascination prevails, 1t Is 0etter
that the story of criminal deeds should
be recited in the spirit of history. VINO
ever will read such story should not
fail to peruse "Ridpath's Life ana Irlal
of Guiteau," just issued from the. press
of Jones Brothers q Co.. OF cincinnati
Chicago and Kansas City. The WORK.
without being needlessly elaborate, EN-
braces everything of interest connected
with the trial of the wretch who killed
the President. 1t is in the authors best
vein. The book, in addition TO Oelng
published as separate work, is also Is
sued as a supplement to the Life and
Works of Garfield" by the same author.
The latter book Is thus sWelleu 10
very handsome illustrated volume OF
500 pages, although the publishers make
no increase in the prices. Ihe work
will be a valuable addition to historical
criminal jurisprudence, and rehearses
the particulars of one of the most re-
markable trials in this or any 0ther
age.
