THE PRESIDENT'S DEATH.
THE CLOSTNO SCENES—TIIE BEREAVED
FAMILY.
When Mrs. Garfield was summoned
to her husband's bedside by Dr. Bliss,
she entered the room caltnly. The
President after be told General Swaim
that he was suffering from great pain
in the region of the heart, never utter
ed a word, and soon sunk into a slate
of profound quiet so closely bordering
unconsciousness as to be almost indis
tinguishable from it. He appeared to
notice nothing. lie kept his eyes wide
open and bent them steadily upon the
door, as if expecting some one to enter
there. It was apparent that although
extremely weak his inind was still
clear. The moment the figure of Mrs.
Garfield appeared in the doorway there
was a perceptible indication of life in
the President, and be looked as if he
would rise toward the door. The eyes
of both met and .Mrs. Garfield for an
instant looked down upon the floor, and
during the moment her head was in
clined a tremor was seen upon her lips,
but she immediately straightened her
figure again, looked her husband full
in the face, and greeting him with a
smile moved quietly to a place at his
head, on the right side of the bed, and
seated herself there. The Secretaries,
judging from the steadiness of the
President's gaze when Mrs. Garfield
entered the room, thought be was in a
dazed condition, looking without see
ing. They carefully watched him. As
Mrs. Garfield passed around the bed
President's eyes followed her, and it
was evident that he fully recognized
her. When she seated herself at his
side tne President moved his head
tlowly upon the pillow until his face
was turned fully toward her. It was
the first time he had moved his head
since the attack of the heart pains. He
made no attempt to speak, but lay look
ing closely over his wife's face. Mrs.
Garfield reached over and took both
his hands in hers. Once or twice he
convulsively pressed her hands, as if
he would like to say something if he
only could. It was evident from Mrs.
Garfield's manner that she was under
a tremendous strain to keep from break
ing down, but no sign was shown on
her face. She sat there holding his
hands until he died, and he passed
away with his head turned towards
her, and looking straight into her face,
and expired without closing his eyes.
His demise was so quiet and impercept
ible that ho must have been dead a few
seconds before life was known to be ex
tinct. When the doctors pronounced
him dead Mrs. Garfield uttered no
word, but sat perfectly quiet, great
tears falling down her face. She was
so very still that the doctors, who had
been very anxious concerning her abili
ty in her weak condition to bear up
when the crisis came, thought that she
was about to sink to the floor, and
moved toward her. She then arose
and left the room, going to her own
apartment, where she remained alone
about five minutes. At the expiration
of that time *he repaired again to the
bedside of her husband, and exhibited
not the least trace of agitation after
wards. Subsequently, when the sur
geons spoke to her about the disposi
tion of the remains, she put and an
swered questions in a clear, firm voice,
and discussed the arrangements rea
sonably. Mrs. Garfield was naturally
strongly opposed to the autopsy. She
only consented finally whin the case
was strongly presented to her in the
light of public interest and justice to
the surgeons, who had attended the pa
tient. At a late hour the surgeons in
duced Mrs. Garfield to retire for rest,
assuring her that it was a fluty to se
cure the refreshment of sleep. She
went to her room and remained there
all night. Afterwards, Dr. Bliss,
whose room was adjoining, says she
paced the floor until morning.
To-day Mrs. Garfield shows plainly
the effects of the reaction from the
lorig and terrible struggle she hull uu.
defgoni). The physicians say that
while she is doinjf as well as could pos
sibly be expected under the circum
stances, yet they are extremely solici

most reassuring news about her fath
er's health up to the time of his death.
\Yhe» she jeurpeU the truth at last she
fainted, and it was a long time before
she could be restored. Her health is
much affected by the shock.
Harry Garfield, who left Williams
College, Mass., this morning, left word
that his brother, .lames A Garfield,
who is confined to his room with a se
vere attack of malarial feyw. contract*
ed at tjip White House, should not IHJ
informed of his father's death until he
was better. The toiling of the church
IICIIH, and the prevailing excitement
aroused his suspicions, and it was
thought best by Dr. Hnbbe||, his at.
tending jihysirlun, that he be informed
of the truth. This was done by Judge
Nott. A burst of grief followed, but
in: is now bearing the trial bravely,
though he is still in a precarious con
dition. lie was removed this afternoon
to ex- President Hopkins' house
SWAIM'S lIItSCIIII'TION OK THE liKATII.
Judge Advocate General Swaim,
who htys been with ('resident (iarlield
ever since tit: wits shot, and who was
the only one with the President ivben
bo commenced sinking last night,
makes the following statement: "It
was my nigbt to watch with the Pres
ident. 1 had been with him a good
deal of the time from three o'clock in
the afternoon. A few minutes before
ten o'clock I left Colonel Rockwell,
with whom 1 had been talking for sojpp
momenta in the lower hall, and pro
ceeded up stairs to the President's
room. On entering I found Mrs. (iar
lield silling by his bedside. There
were no other persons in the room. I
said to her, "how is every thing going?"
she replied, "he is sleeping nicely." I
then said, "I think you had better go
lobed and rest. I asked her what had
been prescrilmd for him to take during
the night. She replied she did not
know, that she had given liillt milk
punch at. 8 o'clock, I then said, "if you
will wait a moment i will go into the
doctors' room and see what is to be
BUTLER. PA., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28,1881
given during the night." She then
{ said, "there is beef tea down stairs.
: Daniel knows where to get it." I then
' went into the doctors' room. I found
Dr. Bliss there and asked him what
j was to be given during the night. He
answered, "I think I had better fix up
a list and will bring it to you pretty
soon." I then went back into the sur
-1 geon's room, and had some little con
versation with Mrs. Garfield. She felt
of the President's hand and laid her
hand on his forehead ami said, he seems
to lie in good condition, and passed out
of the room. I immediately felt his
hands, feet and knees. I thought that
his knees seemed a little cool, and got
a flannel cloth, heated it at the fire, and
laid it over his limbs. I also heated
another cloth and laid it over his right
hand, and then sat down in a chair be
j side his bed, I was hardly seated
when Dr. Boynton came in and felt the
President's pulse. I asked liini ho v
it seemed to him. lie replied : "It is
not as strong as it was this afternoon,
but very good." I said : "He seems
to be doing well." "Yes," he answer
ed, and passed out. He was not in the
room more than two minutes. Short
ly after this the President awoke. As
he turned his head on awakening I
arose and took hold of his hand. I
was on the left hand side of the bed as
he lay. I remarked: "You have had
a nice, comfortable sleep." He then
said : 'Oh, Swaim, this terrible pain,'
placing his right hand on his breast,
about over the region of the heart. I
asked him if I could do anything for
him. He said 'some water.' I went
to the other side of the room and pour
ed about an ounce and a half of Poland
water into a glass and gave him to
drink. He took the iflass in his hand,
I raising his head as usual, and drank
the water very naturally. I then hand
ed the glass to the colored man Daniel,
who came in during the time I was
getting the water. Afterwards I took
a napkin and wiped his forehead, as he
usually perspired on awaking. lie
then said 'Oh, Swaim, can't you stop
this?' and again Oh, Swaim.' I then
saw him looking at me with a staring
expression. I asked him if he was suf
fering much pain, receiving no answer.
J repeated the question, with a like re
sult. I then concluded he was either
dying or was having a severe spasm,
and called to Daniel, who was at the
door, to tell Dr. Bliss ami Mrs. Gar
field to come in immediately, mid
glanced at the small clock hanging on
the chandelier, nearly over the foot of
his bed, and saw it was ten minutes
past ten o'clock. I)r. Bliss came in
within two or three minutes. I told
Daniel to the lißht, a lighted can
dle which habitually sat behind a screen
near the door. When the light shown
full on his face I saw that he was dy
ing. When Dr Bliss came in a mo
ment after I said, "Doctor, have you
any stimulants? He seems to be dy
ing.' He took hold of his wrist, as if
feeling for his pulse, and suid : 'Yes,
be is tlying.' I then said to Daniel,
'Run and arouse the house.' At that
moment Col. Rockwell came in, when
Dr Bliss said, 'Let us rub his limbs,'
which we did. In a very few moments
Mrs. GarOeld came in and said, 'What
does this mean ?' and a jnoment after
wards exclaimed. 'Ob! Why urn I
made to suffer this cruel wrong V
At 10:35 P. M., the sacrifice was com
pleted ; he breathed his last calmly and
peacefully.
DR. BOYNTON'S ACCOUNT OF TDK DKATH.
The preparations for the removal of
the effects of the Presidential party are
beginning. Attendants and workmen
are engaged In packing trunks at the
cottage of Private Secretary Brown
The extreme emaciation of the Presi
dent was a surprise to the undertaker
and embalracr. It is possible to clasp
the leg above the knee with one hand.
There are some doubts whether, if tbo
President litis in ntate at Washington,
it will be deemed wise to slfow his re
mains.
Dr. Boynton gives the following ac
count of the death scene : "He had
been sleeping quietly until about fif
teen minutes before his death I step
ped into the room to examine his pulse
ami found it hail grown a little weak
er, but not alarmingly so I remarket!
to General Swaim that his pulse hud
grown weaker, but nut dangerously
wcuk. The President said to Swaim,
'Oh, Swuim, what a terrible pain 1
I have here,' ami he placed his hand
upon his breast over tho heart. The
doctors and members of the family had
by that t'liio gathered uutl 1 and a
colored man stood at the door There
was scarcely a prcceptible movement
anywhere on tlie yuth.rer'a features
ami no movements of the limbs. His
pulse grew less frequent. Dr. Agnew
bent over him and examined the pulse.
He found no pulse. I put my oar
flown to his heart but discovered no
pulsation. Mrs. Garfield planed her
head upon tho chest, partly bending
over him until after he died. All of
us sat there a little while and then we
left the room. The first time that
Mrs. Garfield broke down in tears was
when she was left at the door of her
room. She returned in half an hour
ami remained with Iter hu.Hhuml till 2
A. M. Dr. Agnew und myself and
General Swuim remained for some
time ; Secretary liruvvn watched until

sistance of Drs. Hamilton, Agnew,
Bliss, Barns, Woodward, Iley burn,
Andrew 11. Smith, of Elberon, and
Acting Assistant Surgeon I). S Lamb,
of the Army Medical Museum, Wash
ington. The operation was performed
by Dr. Lamb. It was found that the
ball after fracturing the right eleventh
rib had passed through the spinal col
umn in front of the spinal canal, frac
turing the body of the first" lumbar
vertebra, driving a number of small
fragments of bone into the adjacent
soft parts and lodging just below the
pancreas, about two inches and a half
to the left of the spine and behind the
peritoneum, where it had become com
pletely encysted. The immediate cause
of death was secondary hemorrhage
from one of the mesenteric arteries ad
joining the track of the ball, the blood
rupturing the peritoneum and nearly a
pint escaping into the abdominal cavi
ty- This hemorrhage is believed to
have been the cause of the severe
pains in the lower part of the chest
complaining of just before death. An
abscess cavity six inches by four in
dimensions was found in the vicinity
of the gall bladder, lmtween the liver
and transverse colon, which were
strongly interadherent It did not in
volve the substance of the liver, and
no communication was 'bund between
it ami the wound. A long suppurat
ing channel extended from thn external
wound between the loin muscles and
the right kidney, almost to the right
groin This channel, now known to
be due HO the burrowing of pus from
the wound, was supposed during life
to have been the track of the bull. On
examination of the organs of the chest
evidences of severe bronchitis were
found on both sides, with broncho
pneumonia of the lower portions of the
right lung, and though to much less
extent of the left. The lungs contain
ed no abscesses and the heart no clots.
The liver was enlarged and fatty, but
free from abscesses, nor were any found
in any other organ, except the left
kidney, which contained near its sur
face a small abscess about one third of
an Inch in diameter.
I II reviewing tho history of the case in
connection with the autopsy, it is quite
evident that tho different suppurating
surfaces, and especially tho fractured
spongy tissue of the vertebra, furnish
sufficient explanation of tho septic con
dition which existed.

The autopsy of tho President's body
commenced about five o'clock ami was
not concluded until nearly 8. A large
crowd of persons assembled at Elberon
to hear the result. Dr. Bliss stated
tht! autopsy had been a very tedious
one, and that the time occupied in
searching for the ball alone was nearly
three quartern of an hour, The doctor
said Mrs. Garfield was feeling much
relieved since the autopsy, inasmuch
as it resulted in establishing tho fuel
that tin; patient's death was inevitable.
The doctor stated further that the
point of the ball was somewhat blunt,
or in a battered condition, caused by
the force with which it struck tho rib,
while in other respects its original
shape was not altered. Dr Bliss took
charge of the bullet ami sealed it for
preservation until the courts should
require its production.
The State of Now Jersey has issued
a permit for the removal of tho body.
.Nil INO "EST IIEI.D,
There was considerable discussion
over the subject of holding an inquest.
Tho Jersey law, it Deems, is very em
phatic on the subject, not only in re
quiring an inquest but in refusing lo
receive a death certificate from phy
sicians not registered in the State.
The attending physicians. Drs. Agnew i
and Hamilton, have not a license to,
practice in New Jersey, ami therefore
cannot give a certificate of death which
can he accepted by the Assessor, who
acts like the Board of Health. A law
passed by the Legislature hint year
i made it an indictable oflense for any
! physician to practice without Ii est filing
a copy of his diploma with the County
Clerk. An instance where a physician
failed to flic his diploma came up be
fore the grand jury in the October term
of Monmouth County Court, in 1880.
j Tim physician was Dr. K iiimouth, a
; resident of Mansquan Tho grand
I jury found an indictment against him
! for not filing a copy of his diploma
1 with the county clerk, but the phy
sician was discharged because the fore
man of tho j;nmd jury failed to attach
his .ignaturc to the indictment
) Attorney General MacVeagh was
strongly opposoii to an inquest, ami
after considerable trouble succeeded in
' arranging matters so as to avoid it.
THE PRESIDENT AFTER DKATH,
Of tho uppeuruiico of tho Prooitlont
after death, Benedict, the undertaker,
said: 'His face had a life li|ie appear
ance. There was no |ook of pain upon
it. lie l v .nk< d just as if lie had fallen
quietly asleep. If he suffered extreme
pain his suffering must have been shot.
His form is greatly wasted, but it is
not a skeleton by any means. The
President will Ist dressed in the same
| suit of clothes he wore in delivering
his inaugural address, with the excep
tion of a pair of silk stockings knit for
him by his mother and lately received.
The coffin is six feet three inches long,
covered with black cloth with velvet
mouldings. The handles and thumb
screws are solid silver.
THE SAI) NEWS TOLD TO OLD MRS. GAR
FIELD.
CLEVELAND, 0., September 20.
Mother Garfield is now at Solon with
her daughter, Mrs. I.arabee, A Her
ald special from Solon says: Until three
tlavs ago full particulars of the situa
tion were telegraphed with the great
est regularity to friends at Solon.
Since thet date only meagre dispatches
were sent, and the suspense of the
household can only be imagined. Sat
urday night and Sunday night Mrs.
Larabee aud the President's mother
slept together, and the former affirms
that Mrs. Garfield did not sleep at all.
Her anxiety rendered sleep out of the
question. During the last week or
two her health has been remarkably
good. On Monday evening the only
dispatch received reached the Solon of
fice at (>:3O o'clock, and was immedi
ately delivered. It was:
Klbrron, N. J., September 19.—T0
Mrs. Kliza Garfield—After the noon
bulletin of tho President's condition
there has been no aggravation of symp
toms. Since the noon bulletin was
issued he has slept most of the time,
coughing but little, and with more
ease. The sputa continues unchanged,
a sufficient amount of nourishment has
been taken and retained. Temperature
98.4, pulse 102, respiration iB."
During all these days of suspense
since July '2d the mother of the Presi
dent remained hopeful. She had faith
that her noble son would be spared to
serve his country and comfort her de
clining years. Mr«. Larabee, his sis
ter, on the contrary, has had a feeling
of discouragement ami fear from the
first. Even on tho tiny when ho left
Mentor she says her mind was filled
with vague forebodings she could not
tlrive away. As Garfield went about
his farm giving things a farewell look
she felt a presentiment that it was a
long good-bye. The effect of this tele
gram was reassuring, however, and
Mrs. Garfield retained with a feeling
of quiet cheerfulnes. During tho day
she had lieeu constantly busying her
self about the house. Mrs. Larabee
besought her not to do any work.
'Mother,' she said, 'you will only
worry yourself'.'
'Oh, no,' replied the old lady, 'lf am
active I shall lie able to sleep better.'
Her exaustion, occasioned by lack of
rest for two nights previous, induced
sleep, which, members of the family
say, exceeded in length any previous
sleep of the old lady.
At five o'clock Tuesday morning the
village bell tolled. At six o'clock
came this private telegram :
'ELBERON, N. J. September 11).—To
Mrs. Eliza Garfield—James died this
evening at 10:35. Calmly breathed
his life away.
I). G. Swaim.'
Mrs. Larabee's first thought was os
to her mother. The latter was sleep
ing calmly, and they did not awake her.
Not until 8 o'clock tlid the old lady
awuke, having slept ever since 11 p. M.
At that hour Mrs. Larabee passed her
door with a heavy heart ana found her
up, dressed and engaged in her custom
of reading the Bible. It was thought
best not to break the uews until Mrs.
Garfield had eaten breakfast. Oddly
enough, the old lady did not insist up
on hearing the news until she finished
the meal. Then taking the fatal tele
gram from the shelf she was about
to read, but Miss Ellen took it from
her trembling hand.
'Orumlma,' she said, would you be
surprised to get bad news this morn
ing!"
'Why, I, I don't know,' said the old
lady.
'Well, I shoulden't,' said Mrs.
Larabee, 'I have been fearing and ex
pecting it all the morning.'
'Grandma,' said Ellen, there is had
news.'
'ls he dead?' asked the old lady
tremulously.
'He is.'
The quick tears started in the sensi
tive eyes There was a violent parox
ysm of grief; no expression of frenzy
told of tiie anguish within.
'ls it true?' she asked, with quiv
ering 1 i|».«. 'Then the Lord help me,
for if he is dead what, shall I do?'
She was rendered weak and a little
nervous by the annoiicement, anil was
obliged once or twice to repair to her
room, whore in solitude she might
begin to comprehend the awful truth.
But she was not contented to reniuin
there anil soon returned to the sitting
room. About 9:30 o'clock Mrs Gar
field was found sitting in a rocking
chair waiting for news. The morning
paper slut read with eagerness. 'lt
cannot be that James is dead,' she
murmured. 'I cannot understand it
I have no further wish to live, und I
cannot, live if it is so.'
Although her general health is good
at present, many fear her words are
prophetic. Mrs. Larubec does not
liope otherwise herself. But. feeling
keenly, as she docs, her great affliction,
never once has she hinted at a lack of
faith in the Supremo One that all is
not intended for the liest 'lt is provi
dential after all,' she said. 'I can
firmly believe that God knows liest,
ami I must not murmur.'
Mrs. Mchitable Trowbridge, the re
maining sister of Garfield, was also no
tified oi hit* death this morning. Hav
ing been sick for several weeks it was
feared that this blow might prostrate
her, but she bears up better than might
bo expected.
Both of the sisters appear more un
nerved than the aged mother herself.
The fortitude of the latter can bo better
appreciated when it is rcmeinhnrod that
Wednesday of thiu week is her 80th
birthday. F'"or about a month HIIO wan
visiting Mrs. I'lm bo (Jlopp anil Mrs.
Alpha Boynton, in Hiram. About a
week ..go she returned to Solon, where
she expects to remain with Mr. tintl
Mrs Larabee until she is notified to
inuko some change It will Is; remem
bered that the only brother, of the
President is living near Grand Itapiils,
Michigan. Since the 1 Ith of Novem-
l>or last there have occured five deaths
in the fumily, ai follows: Mrs. Haxtie
L Palmer, on the 14tb of November;
her son Rudolph, on the 10th of Feb
ruary: Thomas Garfield, on the 18th of
June; Miss Cordelia Arnold, on the
24th of June. Just ten months ago on
Monday Thomas Garfield and the lato
President celebrated their birthday at
a joint festivity in Randall. Their
birthdays came on the same day, Gen
eral being forty-nine years old and
Thomas Garfield seventy-nine.
The orphaned sons at Mentor were
not informed of their father's death till
after breakfast this morning. For a
time they wept bitterly, but after
ward grew quiet and bore their afflic
tion almost philosophically. At Men
tor are also Joseph Rudolph, Mrs.
Garfield's brother, and her aged father.
Both were much affected, yet the re
sult was not unexpected to them.
THE STORY OF THE CRIME—WHERE,
WHEN' A.NH HOW THE FATAL BULLET
ENTERED HIS BODY.
The shooting occured on the morn
ing of Saturday, July 2. The Presi
dent, with several meml>ers of bis Cab
inet, was about to start on an extended
journey to New England. Mrs. Gar
field was to join him at New York.
He bad been hard wcrked and was
weary. He was looking forward to
trip to Williams College, at Williams
town, Mass., to St. Albans, Vt., to the
White Mountains, to the Maine coast
and other places with great delight.
Secretary Blaine drove with the
President from the White House to the
Baltimore ami Potomac depot, which
their carriage reached at twenty min
utes past 9 o'clock. In leaving the car
riage the President said to Officer
Kearney, standing by: 'How much
time have we, officer?' Kearney re
plied : 'About ten minutes, sir. As
he walked to the ladies' entrance of
depot, which entrance is on Sixth
street, Secretary Blaine followed.
The two gentlemen passed leisurely
into the ladies' waiting room, arm-in
arin, the President being uoon the left
of Mr. Blaine. They had gone but a
few steps into the general passenger
room when two pistol shots were fired
in quick succession from tho rear and
to the right of the Secretary. The first
shot passed through the right coat
sleeve of tho President, inflicting no in
jury. The second and fatal shot enter
ed bis body above the third rib.
When the President was struck he
lumed sharply, looking over his right
shoulder. Before he could make an
other motion he sank heavily to the
floor. The blood spurted profusely and
the space around him was red. Mr.
Blaine turned towards the ussassin,
but seeing that lie was in tho grasp of
an officer he gave his attention to the
victim of the shot Tho President was
carried quickly to a room in tho second
story of tho depot building. He re
mained there for about one hour, when
ho was driven in a police ambulance to
tho White llouso. Tho ambulance was
preceded by a carriage, which cleared
tho way, and a mounted guard sur
rounded tho carriage, for tho |iouplo on
Pennsylvania avenue did not then
know the burden borne.
Though tho President had Haid, short
ly after receiving the wound, that ho
believed it to be fatal, an he approach
ed the White House ho lifted his arm
and saluted those who in affright presid
ed around. Ho was lifted from tho am
bulance and tenderly carried to a (deep
ing chamber in the northeastern corner
of the building. lie then paused into
tho hands of his surgeons.
At ■'! o'clock in tho afternoon •ho
Hiiid: 'ltlaino, what motive do you
think that man could have had in try
ing to assassinate mo 3" Mr. Maine
replied: 'I do not know, Mr. Presi
dent. Ho says he had uo motive. He
must bo insane.' To this the Presi
dent said- 'I suppose bethought it
would be a glorious thing to emulate
the pirate chief.' Shortly afterwards
ho t aid to one of his sons: 'Don't you
be alarmed, Jimmy ; the upper story
is all right; it is only the hull that is
a little damaged.' Towrrd four o'clock,
when the evidence of internal hommor
rliago became unmistakable and all the
indications seemed to point to his dis
solution, the President asked Dr. Hliss
what the prospects were. Ho said:
'Are they bad, doctor!" Don't bo
afraid; tell me frankly. I am ready
for the worst.' 'Mr. President,' re
plied Dr. Hliss, 'your condition is ex
tremely critical. I do not think you
can live many hours '
'God's will be done, doctor; I'm
ready to go if my time has come.'
While at tho depot tho President
had caused the following to In* tele
graphed to Mrs. (jarlield, who was at
Klberon :
Mni. (laijithl, KUtrron, New Jrrnry :
Tlif I'rtmidc-nt wl«tn'« me to »nv to you from

A. F. ItCH'KWKI.I,.
Upon receipt of tho news, of more
dreadful import to her than to any oth
er, Mrs. (Jarlield left Long liranch on
a special train which ran through to
WuFliington in live hours and thirty
five minutes.
Tho assassin was at once by his
own admission found to Imi Charles .1,
(Juiteau. lie Haiti that ho was 'a law
yer and theologian' and that ho lived
in Chicago Policeman Kearney, who
saw the shots fired, says that (iuiteau
tried to run into tho street, where ho
had a carriage in waiting. Kearney
arrested the flocing man, shouting:
'ln (Hod's name, what did you shoot
tin- President for V His answer wan :
'I am a Stalwart and want Arthur for
President.' Ho still carried his pistol
in his hand. It was a California re
volver, of large calibre, with a bono
handle. The ball that entered the
Presidents i»o<ly was known as calibre
41. (iuiteau was swiftly borne to the
Washington City Prison, which wns
guarded by military.

The District Attorney had very little
difficulty in obtaining from Guiteautbe
facts of hid career. A great deal was
taken down in short-hand from the lips
of the prisoner, lie remained under
strong guard, and for several weeks
was ignorant of the President's condi
tion. At no time since the assassina
tion was he certain whether his victim
was alive or dead. He frequently ex
pressed answer at the refusal of the
guards to tell him of what was going
on. He asked for pen, ink and paper
with which to write his life, but all
such requests were refused. Once he
made a rude knife from material found
in his shoe, but it was discovered aud
removed. He was given no opportuni
ty to commit suicide. On July 19 Mr.
Corkbill appeared before the Criminal
Court in Washington and asked that
the grand jury be discharged until Sep
tember, as it was unnecessary to hold
them longer in the President's case.
He presented a letter from the Presi
dent's physicians, in which they said:
'While we anticipate recovery it is not
yet possible to assert with confidence
that his injuries may not yet prove fa
tal.' The jury were then discharged
for similar reasons.
On Sunday afternoon, September 11,
Sergeant Mason, of Battery B, Second
Artillery, when relieving the guard at
the iail, shot at Guiteau through the
window of the cell and came near kill
ing him. The ball grazed the assas
sin's head and lodged in the cell wall.
Mason was at once arrested and con
fined at the Arsenal. Subsequently
tiuiteau was removed to another cell,
built for his confinement, and there he
now remains.
