the secretary's house by subterfuge,

James A. Garfield, the twentieth pres

while in the Pennsylvania railroad sta

Saturday, July 2, 1881. He had just
entered the station, accompanied by
James G. Blaine, secretary of state in
his cabinet, to take the train for Long
Branch.
AS they entered the street door of
the station Charles Jules Guiteau stood
waiting near the center of the womeIrs
reception room. The president and Mr..
Blaine walked through the room, while
the assassin circled about until he was
behind them. He drew revolver and
fired. No one seemed TO realize what
had happened. The president half turn

again. This time the bullet struck Mr..

pIoded with such a noise that several
witnesses supposed the pistol had fired.
On the instant Lawrence dropped the
pistol and transferred another from his
left hand TO his right. He pointed the
second pistol at the president and pull
ed the trigger, but again the cap eX-
ploded without discharging the pistol
just as Mr.. Jackson, with appraised
cane, made for his assailant. Law
renee. however, was knocked down and
secured by others before the president
could reach him.
That Mr.. Jackson was uninjured by
the attack upon him was little short of
marvellous, and his escape was discuss
ed at the time by many in a tone of SUI
perstitious awe. Tests were made with
the pistols of Lawrence after his at
tempt, and they were found to be an
elegant pair in most excellent order
and loaded with powder and ball al
most TO the muzZle. The powder was
of the highest quality, and the percus-
sion caps found on his premises when
tested proved to be of the very best of
that time. In fact, the two pistols,
with new caps taken from Lawrence's
box, were fired at the first attempt in
each case by the officers who tested
them.
Richard Lawrence was a painter and
had shop in a thickly settled part of
Washington. He was about thirty-five
years of age and, though small in
stature, was a handsome man. His
father, an Englishman, had died some
years before. but young Lawrence had
n sister and other relatives living in
Washington. At the trial it was shown
that Lawrence was insane, that he had
been unbalanced mentally for about
two years. In justification of his act
he claimed at his trial that President
Jackson owed him money; in fact, that
the president was his clerk and was
Withholding money that belonged to
him. He also claimed TO be King of
England and America and made other
wild assertions. some OF which 1t was
shown he had been making for a year
or more before his attempt to kill the
president
Lawrence was adjudged insane and
was sent to an asylum. where he re-
manned an inmate for upward OF
thirty years. when he died
Partisan feeling was running high at
that time and at first many. including
the president himself, thought that
Lawrence was the tool of others So
great was the excitement produced by

The president himself was the first

after DIR. Townsend had made q hasty

physician replied that he did not con-

81 thank you, DOCTOR" said the presi-
dent, "but l am dead man."
All that day the president talked
calmly and courteously to those about
him. He was suffering great pain and
was partially under the influence of
opiates. In the evening the course of
the ball was traced. 1t was found to
have fractured the eleventh rib and
penetrated the liver. 1t was seen then
that the condition of the president was
exceedingly serious. 1t was believed
that he could not live beyond mid
night. The next day Mr.. Garfield was
worse, and from that time, during the
three months that life lasted. he i'm
proved and failed internationally.
For time his physicians were hope
full, and the bulletins for a period led
the public to believe that the president
would resume his duties, but when the
torrid weather of midsummer came the
patient failed perceptibly. and, al
though it was done at great hazard,
he was removed on Sept. 6, 1881, by
special train to EIberon. n. ]. The in
migrating sea breezes seemed at first
to have a beneficial effect. but on Sept.
ID unmistakable symptoms of blood
poisoning were discovered, and ON the
10Th, after few hours of unconscious
ness, he died.
Charles J. Guiteau, who had fired the
pistol at the railroad station, had been
promptly seized and taken into Gus
tody. He had been a persistent but
unsuccessful applicant for an appoint
ment to Office. first as minister to Aus
tria and then as consul general at
Paris. He described himself as n law
yer, a politician and n theologian.
Guiteau was sentenced to be hanged
after a sensational trial. in which his
sanity was one of the main points in

in the country testified. The sentence
OF the court was carried out. although
