C., Nov. 19.—The anticipated attempt to tuke the life of Guiteau was made today. On his way from from the court-house to the jail he was shot. ‘The wound was painful and narrowly escuped being a fatal one. He was shot through the van in which be is con- veyed from the court-house to the jail, and by a min who bad ridden some eight or ten squares in order to find out exactly where to aim his pistol, The van in which Guiteau is taken from the jail to the court-room and back is a close-covered vehicle. at the top are a few little slate for ventilation, and at each end ure holes made artistically to repre- sent ivy leaves. THE VAN jis made of tnick cherry wood, and Is lined with cast-iron. It is regarded as almost bullet-proof, and the Distriet-Attcrney did not think it could Le possibie for any assault to bo made upon Giuteau which would endanger bis life while be was in the van. This noon Ollicer Edelin, who hus been-uetailed from the potice force to con- duct Guiteau from. the jail to the court and back, was. taken one side by ‘a persouul friend. ‘This wan sald tobim: “Ed, I do not wnt to say uny more to you than this: You bud better look out for yourself. I under- stand there is an arrangement by which Gui- teau ' E WILI, NEVER APPEAR IN COURT AFTER TO- DAY, and by whieb the trial will be brought to an end tonight, Lonly tell you this so that you can look out for your own life.” Tho ollicer paid very little attention to it, believing, as almost all of the officials bere do, that the threats which oue bears every duy in regard to Guiteau ; ure of the idlest surt, Whben Gciteau was taken | from the court to the van ths afternvon, Otlicer | Euclin nouced a manon a sorrel horse. Thia | man rode back ana furth in frontof the. van, | and ulsu on exch side of it, Thinking that be, | like the rest of the mob, was attracted by idle curiosity, Edetin suid: “ You cannot eee any- thing in tuls caravan. . Go away.” 1 IAN ON HORSEBACK seemed to ride uway on this order. The police- j man mounted the driver's - seat, _ sit- {ting to the Jeft of the colored driver, and a giunt-like colored man named Perry Carson, stood on the steps at the | rear of the vun after Guiteau pad been put Into it and the doors had been locked. The crowd, as usual,hooted and hissed, but no attention was puid to this, and the driver started down D street | toward tne Cupitol. As the van‘appeared at the corn of Fuurth and D streets the man rode up within a few feet of it. It was possible fora man on horseback, although not pussible for a man on fot. TO LOUK THROUGI THE LITTLE: VENTILAT- ING HOLES in the van and see exucily where the occupant of the van was tueated. It is probable, there- fore, that this man on horseback, having discoy- § ered exactly where Guiteau stood in the van, by 4 preconceried ‘signal with his acces- sory on his arrival at Fourth street indi¢ated thet ke was resdy for tho pistol. His action indicates a close study of the ur- | ements made to protect and guard Guiteau. | sloughing the van so that it almostupset. Then A Dare-Devil Tam O’Shanter, of | ; Policemen £uelin, tne prisoner's guard. He was | buthe got away from the van, which is heavy he fired and the smoke ‘lifted, that he had. hit the man, for the sorrel horse turned. The man -reoled in.a sort of semi-circle in. his sad- die, exactly as a man-who had ‘been wounded by a bullet, and- Officer Edelin .ex- pected tosee him fall frum the saddle to the street. Instead of, that, however, the . nan scemed bya great effort to rally and -fallover upon the horse’s neck. The mau’s borse, to- gether with those which ‘were drawing the van, seemed frightened by the double dis- charge, both of which happened within the space of three or four seconds. Tho man made no further attempt to shoot into the van, but tet bis horse go his own way. _ : HE WENT AT BREAR-NECK SPEED down First street towards the Baltimore & Ohio Depot. Olliver Edelin said to the colored driver, who was frightoned to death, *Waip up your horses and tet's follow him. "He has nothing out asorrel plug, and I think we can eaten him.” The driver thereupon wheeled his horses around, began a chase of the most excitipg character down First street. The officer did not even stop to sce whethor Guiteau was injured. He heard, an instant after the first report, 3 ‘A HEAVY THUD, as ofa body falling heavily upon the floor, and he thought that Guiteau was probably shot and killed. Then they went down First street, the otlicer standing us well as he could iu his place, his revolver drawn, and braced upon his left arm, the assasin, a square or more abead, urging his horse, and his body bent forward upon his horse’s neck. At no time during this exciting chase was the policeman able to so thoroughly brace himself or to so nearly keep witnin range a3 to dare to risk a shot. They went on ata break-neck specd until they came to the corner of the Baltimore & Ohio Ruilroad, at Mussuchusetts avenue. “Here the horsemen hadevery advantage. If the wheels of the beuvy van sbould yet caught in between the tracks they would be likely to be wrenched off atthe speed at which they.were going. Just about ut this place the ollicersaw a man rush outinto the streetand make a motion to the man upon horseback. ‘The avenger seemed to see the signal. He raised his band, and, officer Edelin thinks, dropped his pistol Into the street. THIS MAN, who was evidently waiting for him, picked the pistol up and disuppeared. It was necessary, on account of the tricks, to slacken the pace at which the van was. being driven, and, at this time, the horseman was seen toturn down K street, towards the city. ‘The olficiuls saw that further pursuit was useless, and told the driver to turo uround, and: drive as rapidly as possible to the jul. Having found that the assassin had escaped him, the officer looked into the little holes, and there anw Guiteau in the seat in the corner of the vun IN. ABJECT TERROR. The officer said, “Are you hurt?" Guiteau suid that bedid not know whether he was or not, but he asked the ollicer to drive at once to police headquarters and insist upon having an escort of mounted policemen to take him to the jail. Guiteau at first supposed that the driver had been shot, aud that the horses had taken fright una were running away. The shot un- questionably tloored..him. 1t-did not cut the arm. Itmust have passed, however, from the direction, within an {ach or two of his breast. ‘The bullet had penetrated the thick wood punels of the van, and ulso the iron lining inside, and it was subsequently found on the floor of the van, it wasu bullet of a 38-calibre Colt’s revolver. Gutteuu was so greatly frichtened, that, upon his arrival ut the juil, it was discovered that he bud not been uble to control che functions of nature. -He was taken into the Warden's ollice and there the wound was dressed. It was found that the flesh nad not been cut, but there was a very severe abraision caused by the passage of the bullet over the arm. He seemed delighted to think be had got back to jail, and suid that be must huve wore protection. He also said: * The Lord bas uguin pretected me. He will defend me from all bullets. THE GUARDS. THEIR RECITALS. Gpecial Dispatch to The Cnicago Tribune. Wasntncton, D.C., Nov. 19—Outside the jail was as quiet this evenicg a3 though nothing bad happened to disturb the equanimity of uny of itsInmates. There were no ‘sentries posted in front, as there nud been before tho trial began, and the gtoomof the early evening was en- banced by the clouded sky, from which a slight rain had begunto fall. The loud-voiced bell wus answered by a Deputy Warden, for Gen. Crocker was not at home. Tne Deputy Warden was a bearded mau, and he knew nothing much beyond the story that bad been told him by willing enough, however, ‘to tell THE LITTLE THAT HE DID KNOW, and be told it ubout a3 follows: “ Well, you see, sir, ail I know about it is what Edelin told me. ‘the van ‘vas coming along quietly until it got to First stecet aud East Capitol street, when a shot was tired by @ mun or horseback. He was a rough-looking man, with a red- face, and cEdelin said be hud seen _him- in front Gf the court-house when the van left with Guiteau to bring bim back to jail. Edelin can describe him to you better than Ican, You can find bim over to the work-house. Guiteau wus not bit very bad. His coat was cut by the bullet—ubout a %2-calibre, I should think. His undershirt was not cut, but his arm was bruised like, and bled a ttle. No, be doesn’t need no surgeon. I guess ho was scared to death, and FELL DOWN IN THE BOTTOM OF THE VAN and told Edelin to take him back to court to get more protection. Edelin fired at the man who sbot, but missed him, and the van went after him up Firststrect uatil it got to H street, when the mun turned down K street and gut 80 | far abead that the van turaed around and came | back to jail, The maa lay down flat on the horse as he rode away, turned west on K street, and went back to the city. The horse wasa sorrel, and NOT MUCH OF A NAQ, and. cun’t be drawn fast. Edelin thinks he knows who the tnun fs, fad he will tell you all abuut it. When Guiteau got to the jail he was | ‘These arrangements consisted of escorting bim | from tho juil to the court-house, and did not | fecoinpany bim from tbe court-house to the Jutl. THE VAN DEOVE-ON, Edelin, the policeman, chatting with fhe driver upon the fact that the guard of mounted police- men were dismissed on their arrival at the court-bouse, suying, that, while it was bis duty tu obey the Instructions of hfs superior ollicers without comment, he did feot that the mounted policemen were as necessary in going from as ia epming to the court-bouse. They weat on up Cupitol Hill, and had arrived at the corner of First uud East C.pitel streets when there was a sudden report of a pistol. Itappears that the man on horsedack bad followed for some distance atsuch Jengtn from the van that be could not be interrupted with any decency, but when they cume to the Capitol be rode up stlong- side of -tne van and peered = through tbe tittle holes, through which {it wus possible for u-man on horseback to sec the occupant. He must bave seen Guiteau standing ut the front ead of the van. He stood there with n bund in each of the two holes to support bimseif, the iat of the van mating it necessary for niin-te bead overa litte. Oicer Euelin bud looked urvund once as they went up Capitol Hill, and bad SEEN GULTEAU’s FINGERS IN THESE MOLES, He pinched oneof Guuteau's tngers by way of fun. and got a humorous response therefor from Guiteau. Carson, the negro at the end of the vun, supposed that the man was riding up forthe purpose of seeing Guiteau, If possible, and when they reached First aud East Capitol streets, Carson saw the man spur bis horse a ttle “around to the left side of the van. . Nobody -saw what followed. The first that was known was the report of the pistol. The avenger must haye ridden up very cluse to the van, gaged the distance. und | fired about as accurately as possible ut the posi- tion where Guiteau was standing. The instant the report was heard the officer looked around, not realizing whut bud happened. He saw there the man whom he bad seen at the court-house on. bis surrel horse, with his pistol! cocked and ready for a second ftre. Otficer Edelin rose. i The roof of the van mude it necessary for him tostund in a crouching position, but he drew his own revolver as quick as a flash, cocked it, and placed it on bis left arm with the revolver cressed over nisown. He aimed it directly and as acenrazely as be could at the pody of the mysterious man on horseback. No words were | said. THE MAN ON HORSEBACK turned his eyes towards tho officer and saw that the officer. bad bis weapon almed at him: Jno- stead of tiring, he lowered bis weapon a little, ‘and, at the same moment, the policeman fired, ! He thoucht he had covered the body of the assasin very accurately, aud he was satisfied, ag * but we've come back alone—" {don't know why it was, gentlemen, but Isup- very much seared, und suid he must have more. protection. He suid the Lord was on his side yct, on about what I'd do if somebody'd try to ti him away from me. Some say I wouldn't. make! much fuss, and some gay I. would. But 1 fy you, gentlemen, no matter how I might think myself, I'd to my duty as an ollicer, and tq protect the man I'm in charge of Ses . WITH MY LIFE. : ‘Well, we went down today, and Guiteau was iy: pretty good . humor, although he. didi, ¥ gay anything after he'd got- into “the 8B van. He never does.

It was es AN ORDINARY KIND OF A PLUG. with a big chest, looked Nke he was Worked tq: harness, and,bis tail was short, Ike as if he switched it off against the whiffletrees. When I made a way through the crowd, as [ always, and got up on the seat with the driver, as the van went along D street, we—thst {3 me ana the driver—talked about the crowd, und ! was say. ing that they ought not to be let to shout at Gut. teau, and that the next thing would be SOME ONE WOULD SEAVE SOMETHING at 1M, : when I looked to one side Isaw this dark mig ; on the sorrel horse riding along with’ us [ leaned out to look at him, meaning to speak to him, as I have done to boys that run along with us, and tell him he coulda’t sec any show— pleasant like—whemhe pulled buok bis -horsa and seemed to want to get out of the way, but I- } thought he only wanted to sce Guiteat from idle curiosity. Well, we wont on up through D street to the Capitol grounds, and the man RODE ALONG WITIC Us, sometimes behind and sonictimes on the left side of the van, always keeping a lttle out of sight. We got up tothe corner of East Capitol street and First street, when I heard 1 shot, and, if you'll believe me, gentlemen, 1 was 40 con- fused that I didn’t think tt was fired at us, butL looked out, and there I saw the dark man on te sorrel horse right alongside of us. The horse's head pointed the same way as ours did,: and his band was raised, with the pistol cocked, ready to shoot again. I know it was cocked, andl know it was a metallic pistol. IT WASN'T AS WEAVY A PISTOL as this (showing bis own weapon], ‘for I. shoot clean through the van.” “A pretty beavy wagon isa’t it?” “ Yes,sir, but my pistol would go clean through the wood and the fron sheathing, and his bullet flattened out against the other side. Weil, togo on, as I caught sight of him I pulled outmy pistol and sighted itover my arm this way "~ and as he said this the policeman rested the bare rel on bis urm and squinted along it a3 though he still saw the dark manon the sorrel horse. Just as he was turning bis horse on a pivot, like, I pulled and fired, und he threw up bis arm and fell over, and lay alongside bis horse.” - “What! Do you think you bit him?” “Yes, sir, could I THINK I DID. He reeled over like a man that was hit,and’he gave his horse the rein, and started up north on First street. -Isaid to the driver to pursue him, but we were a little past First street, and wo bad to turn the “horse around, 80 thas be got ‘a start about to A”° street. After that he didn’t’ gain on us a bit, but when we got to Massachusetts avenue we met the railroad and then wehad to walkthe horses for fear of wrenching off. a wheel... By that tlme the man had-gotto K street, and turned west and rode toward'the city, but, just ashe got to Massa- chusetts avenue, a man came out and the rider strecched out his hand towards him, and 1 think he must have thrown away bis pistol then, and £ think the man who met hin: took{t. I'm nog sure, for we didn’t bave time to make any ex- amination. As we puraved him, : «THE HORSES ON A DEAD RUN, I stood up as straight as I could for the weather covering that was over the driver's seat, and tried to get-another shot. But the weutner-covering knocked my bat off, and the mau lay in such a way on bis horse that I could not geta sight on him. Know him? I'd tod him before Tuesday night if they’d give me tho case—not thit--I ever saw him ‘before, batt have heard—no, I guess I won't say anything about that. It wouldn't be proper.” = “Do you think this shooting the result of a conspiracy to kill Guiteau2”. “I know itis, sir.
