MIR. Cooks Warning.
THE PRESIDENT CAUTIONED FIVE DAYS BEFORE he
SHOT


WAS SHOT.
In the statement made by ex-POstmaster General
James before Mr.. Sprlngers committee yesterday,
recOunting the Incidents of visit to President Gar
field on June a. 1881, Mr. James said: cat the close
OF the interview MIR. Cook said to the President:
'Mr President, you know that am criminal law
yer, and that my associations are not always with
angels. hear great deal about what is going on
and feel that IL is my duty to say, from knOwl-
edge which has come into my possession, that
something dreadful is about to happen"
The New York Herald to-day says: snow, Mr..
Cook said this thus reported just five days before
Garfield was shot. Is 1t possible that the some
thing dreadful referred to was the murder OF the
President? Did Mr.. Cook on the 9th OF June know
that Garfield was to be Shot?"
Mr. Cooks attention being called Dy STAR re-
porter to the above publication to-day, he said:
'.This is miSconcept1On or mistake OF what was
said. did suggest to the President that there was
SO embittered feeling on the part OF some OF the
star route men and their advocates or associates,
and so much feeling arising out OF the angry con-
test between the stawarts and halfbreeds, that 1t
be on weak or morbid minds, or what desperadOes
might be prompted to do. Therefore, 1. thought
that 1t would be prudent and wise for the President
to be cautious The impression existed on my mind
perhaps partly created by the high state OF feel
Ing engendered by the causes menttOned-that not
only the President but others might be In personal
danger. 1t was with this impression made the
suggestions to the President did"
