He was accompanied by Gov ernor Connally of Texas, who was also hit. As this is written, it isn't known whether Gover nor Connally is alive. The killing of President Ken nedy raises to four the number of American Presidents who have died at the hands of as sassins. The first was President Lin coln, in 18G5. By way of relax ation after a grinding day, he had gone to Ford's Theater, In Washington. He was shot by John Wilkes Booth. He was carried unconscious to a lodging house across the street from the theater and died early the next morning. At almost, the same moment, Secretary Se ward was attacked and severe ly wounded at his home. The next President to die by an assassin's bullet was Gar field.

People found the neu's of his death unbelievable and were reluctant to ac cept the word that he had been shot to death in Dallas. At this moment, just an hour or so after the President was killed, we, too, find it difficult to understand that in this day and age we would sud denly lose a man of such great importance to the nation and the world. The murder had to be the action of a person completely out of his mind. Ironically the President had been laboring feverishly for legislation to help the mentally ill of our country. This, indeed, is a black day in the history of our nation. It is reminiscent of a Good Friday just 100 years ago when President Lincoln was shot and killed at Ford's Theatre in Washington. It was a time, too, when civil rights was one of the vital issues confronting the United States.
