A t 9:30 o’clock this morning, af­
ter the President had arrived at
the Baltim ore and Potomac depot
with his party waiting to take the
train for Long Branch he was shot
twice by a man within two feet of
him.
The
President’s friends
rushed to him as ho loll and Blaine
called for Rockwell. 'Pho Station
Agent Carney arrested the assassin
who said, “ I «lid it; 1 am salwart,
and A rthur is now President,
'fake the letter I have hereto Gen­
eral Sherman, and he will tell you
all about it.” 'l hc President was
shot twice, one ball entered from
the rear to one side and is believed
to have passed through the kid­
neys. 'Pho doctors hold out some
hope of Garlield’u possible recov­
ery, but it is plain that they feel
une« rtaiu and anxious and have
little if any hopes. One shot
went through the arm.
a foreigner by birth. IIo has been
a persistent applicant for a con­
sular position; lie haunted the
Executive mansion for weeks, and
disappointment in not getting
what lie wanted led to a temporary
ubburation of the mind.
11:35 a . m .— President Garfield’s
strength is increasing every min­
ute and ho is «juite cheerful. His
physicians announce that as soon
as bis pulse reaches seventy, an­
other attempt wid bo made to
probe for the bullets.

arriving until Id o’clock. A s soon

was bunded to Vice President A r­

A fter the shooting ami after
Scot anil Carney got hold o f the
assassin and were taking him to
police headquarters lie said volun­
tarily to them: “ I «lid it ami w ill
go to jail for it; I am a stalwart
and Arthur w ill be President.”
He bail a letter in liis hand and
wanted the ollicers to take it to
General Sherman, saying it would
bo all right. Tlie prisoner made
no resistance, saying bo had con­
templated killin g tho President,
saying it was for the good of the
country. About 9 o’clock .this
morning the assassin went to a
hack stand ail joining the depot
and engaged a hack. He told the
driver lie wan toil to go to Green­
wood cemetery in a short time,
and wanted to be driven very fast.
When stopped the assassin was
going to the hack lie had engaged
and lie insisted that it-w as very
important for him to go and de­
liver a messago to General Sher­
man, ami when the ollicers refused
to let, him go, he begged them to
take the letter lie had to Gen.
Sheriu'in, o f which the follow ing
is a copy:
1 Ju ly 2.—The W hite House—
The President's death was a sail
necessity, but it will unite the Re­
publican party and save the Re­
public. L ife is a fiinisy dream,
ami it mutters little when one goes.
A human life is of small value.
During the war thousands of bravo
boys went down without a tear.
I presume the President was a
Christian ami that he w ill be hap­
pier in Pariuliso than here. It
will be no worse for Mrs. Garfield,
dear soul, to part with her hus­
band this wav than by natural
death, lie is liable to go at any­
time.
