HISTORICPISTOL
IS DISCOVERED
IN SAFE
Aides of the District Attorney
Find Garfield Death
Weapon

Hidden away in an obscure
corner of safe at the District
Attorneys office, an historic
pistol was found the other day
by Walter M. Shea and Irwin
Goldstein, assistant District At
torneys, who probably preserved
the weapon from passing into
oblivion.
1t is a wicked-looking pistol,
bearing the trade mark English
Bulldog" Fifty-two years ago it
exploded two shots which went
down in history.
Charles Julius Guiteau used it
to aSSaSSinate President James A.
Garfield July 2, 1881, in the old
railroad depot at Sixth Street
and Pennsylvania Avenue North
west.
Records of Trial
In another office Of the District
Attorneys suite is an old tin box
which hold the records Z of
Guiteau's trial.
Among the records is a state
ment written by the assassin in
long-hand, numbering nearly 191
pages. The statement entitled
"An Address to the American
People" was written after his con-
viction and is filled with historical
data.
Concerning the purchase of the
pistol, Guiteau wrote that two
or three days before his act he
went to "Omera'S, Fifteenth and
F, opposite the Treasury" where
he looked at some pistols.
Guiteau wrote that the store
clerk assured him the death
weapon will kill horse" and
also directed him to an obscure
part of the Southwest section
where he could practice. The as
sassin wrote that he paid $40 for
the weapon.

Dennis had been married for years
she was sure he was as happy and
satisfied to be alone with her as she
was with him. She would have bcea
bewildered if she could have secSa
into his mind at that nomcnt. Bar
bara gave Dennis the tips Of her
fingers in farewell.
Goodbye Get well quickly
she said, and was gone.
Dennis went back to his seat al the
breakfast table. He could hear Paul
ines affectionate farewells and adj
iurations to come again soon.
Something in him badly wanted to
get UP and go to the window to see
the last Of her, and something else
kept him sitting unwillingly where
he was. Before they turned the corn

of the window and looked back at the

and dainty curtains. Pauline still
