I had made arrangements to visit New York this morning in. company with four. lady friends, members of my tamily. I was to meet them at the Baltimore & Potomac Railroad Depot at 9:15 dm. ; ; A FEW MOMENTS AFTER So'cléck Lalighted from my carrluge and en- tered the stition.. After purchusing my ticket E walked leisurely about the depot; when present- ty [saw avcarriage drive up and two gentlemen alight therefrom. I took. little notice of them at first, but ina minute I observed that the two men wore President Gartleld and Secretary Blaine. The Presidéat and Secretary stood be- side the carriage and conversed together for b0nie minutes, when they walked into the depot. As they entered thé depot the President und the Secretary, both bowed tome. [had just raised my hat did was about turning around for the appearance of my lad; re friends, when suddenly [ heard the report of a revoiver. Quickly I wheeled around, and before me I beheld THE STAGGERING FORM OF THE PRESIDENT of the United States. I also saw the would-be assasin within u few feet of the President. -He had a revolver in big. right band, his knees were slightly bent, and he took two or three husty steps towaras the President and tired aguin. ‘Lhe first ball took effect in tne President's right side, and the second une struck him i: the back. When the second shot was tired the President fell to the tloor. The would-be assusin, secing Gen. Garfield fall, turned und uttemoted to es- cape by the B street entrance. J hurried toward that door, and when THE VILLAIN saw tht I {ntended to néad him off he turned and run toward the opposit door, wnere. he was cautht bya number of employes in the depot. When the Presidect was shot and when he fell he spoke not 2 word, nor did bis would-be mur- derer. It was auiek! IF noised about the depot that the President hud been shot, and the doors vent the crowd from rushing in. When Secre- tary Blaine heard the report of the revolver he sprang toward the door, but when: be realized that the President had been shot he immediately ran to his assistance. The mun who sbot the President had a determined look upon his face, and did not resemble a crazy mao. He was calm and resolute, and did not: attempt to run away until he saw the President fall.” = THE DOCTORS. THE BALL. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. « Wasutnarox, D.
