MENACED A PRESIDENT.
Army Surgeon Who Threatened to
Kill John Quincy Adams.
A Forgotten Historical Incident Re-
called From n Diary-G. p. TodsOn
swore Vengeance for Dismissal
From Seryfce-Strange Interview.

Another assassination of Chief Mag
istrate of the nation recalls a remark
able incident of this nature during the
Presidency of Mr.. Adams, and which
the latter refers to with characteristic
elaborateness in his diary.
DR.. G. p. Todson, assistant surgeon In
the United States Army, had been con-
yicted. by a court martial, of appropri-
a:ing the property of the Government
and mad been sentenced to dismissal
from the service. Claiming injustice in
the sentence, Dr. Todson sought the in
teryention of the President, and what
followed can be best related by quoting
MIR. Adams himself.
Under date of November 80. 1926, Mr.
Adams writes:
DIR. Hunt came, very seriously, TO
put me on my guard against DR.. Tod
son, the assistant surgeon cashiered for
embezzlement of the public stores,
which sentence ! have carefully re-
vised, and declined renominating him to
the Senate HUNT said he was credi-
bly, informed that Todson had deter
mined to murder me for revenge, and
that he HuntO had thought il neces-
sary to inform me of this, to put me on
my guard. He at first intimated that
the person who had given him this in
formation desired not to be known. but
afterward told me ii was Colonel Ran
dali. Todsons counsel, who was fully
convinced ii was no idle threat of Tod
sons. but that he would attempt to ex-
ecute it.
He said Randall himself would see
me If i desired. 1 requested HUNT to
say to Randall that l would be glad to
see him. / added that knew not any
thing that could do by way Of precau-
ton. Hunt said that / should do well
to refuse TO receive Todson when he
called"
1t seems incredible at this writing
that some steps were not taken to ar
rest the threatening Todson and re-
r.,oye him from the Presidents way.
But nothing of the kind was done, and
on the next day the matter is again
taken up by the President.
Colonel Randall mas called upon and
confirmed the intimations given me be-
fore By DR.. HUNT He said Todson had
ayowed to him his determination to as
sassinate ME, and that he believed it
was no idle menace; that the man was
desperate, and, upon this subject, per-
