Dr. Townshend, health officer of the District, in conversation this afternoon said: “I found the President when I arrived at the Baltimore |.8nd Potomac depot, about five minutes after the shooting occurred, in a vomiting and faint- ing condition. Ihad his head lowered, which had been elevated by the attendant, and ad- ministered aromatic spirits of ammonia and brandy to revive him. This had the desired efiect and the President, regaining conscious- ness, was asked where he felt the most pain. He replied in the right leg and foot, He then examined the wound, introducing his fingers, which caused a slight hemorrhage. I then de- cided to have him moved up stairs from the crowd. Shortly after getting him there, Drs, Smith and Purvis arrived, and upon consulta- tion with them it was decided to remove him to the White House.

THE PRISONER REPORTED TO HAVES HAD AN AC- COMPLICE. An inquisition was convened in the office of the District attorney within half an hour after the shooting at the depot. Every one about the depot who was supposed to know anything about the affair was hurried by the police at once to the District attorney’s office, and a secret examination has been In progress all day, Judge Wyle, Col. Corkhill, Mr. Parry and some detective officers being present. Col. Cook was present part of the time. The report that there was another man with Gutteau at the time of the shooting was confirmed by one or two witnesses. The detectives do not give much credence tothe report, but are working it up with such clews as they have. Detectives McDevitt and Vess ascertained that Guiteau had stopped at the Riggs House last night, and going there they found that he had left a box of cartridges of & calibre to sult the bull-dog, and a pack of visiting cards and a coat, OF THE ness. {A gentleman of this city who was going north by the limited Express this morning and who saw the affair sends back by telegraph, from Baltimore, the following concis3 and graphic account of the shooting of President Garfleld:) BALTIMorg, July 2, 1331, Iwas just behind tue President when he en- tered the B street entrance of the rallway sta- ton. The President stepped up the steps alone outeide on the pavement. There seemed to be no one there but the policeman. My wife, who was with me, remarked, “How well the Presl- dent is looking.” He was by this time two feet inside the docr. I should say he was about to raise his hat to return a bow, when two shots Were fired from the left hand side of the qoor, At the first shot the Prestdent turned and reeled @ little, and when the second shot was fired he fellon his back. The fall and the flash fairly dazed the people in the waiting room. ‘The man who fired the shot stepped up and said: “It fs all right.” The women screamed,put their hands to their faces and ran. By this time the people present realized the cause. Some suppozed it was merely an explosion of firecrackers; but on seeing the Prestdent lay there the wildest excitement prevaile ', and the officer ran in and selzed the assassin. By this time the entrance was blocked on B =.reet, and I bad to take my family away. Mr. A. G. Lathrop, of Washingtea, says the assassin had some papers in his hand and took deliberate aim, when he fired. Don Senor Simon Camacho, charg2-d’-affaires of the Venezuelan legation in WasLington, was in the room, and attempted to seize the assas- sin, but the latter made a demonstration as if he would shoot him,and Mr. Camacho deaisted. Gxo. W. ADaMs, Statement of George T. Walters—The Presidenvs Request to have Mrs. Garfield Sent For. George T. Walters, a colored man, sald he was taking trunks into the depot for alady and gentleman. He heard the shots and ran to- wards the ladies’ room. When near the door he met a man who held a pistol in a threaten- ing manner. Says Walters: “I dodgod, think- ing at first the man was going to shoot me. ‘Then I saw Mr. Parke catch hold of the man. Hecaught him by both shoulders, so, (illus- trating). Mr. Parke jumped through the win- dow and caught the man, Then I helped carry the President upstairs.

Secretary Windom sent ;the dis patch, Walters continuing, said: “I saw that man hanging around here this 4 rs Guiteau at the Jail. The scene at the jaih when the prisoner ar- rived there was very quiet. The van, in charge of Lieut. Eckloff, Detective McEIfresh and Officer Lewis, arrived at nalt past 19 o’clock. Gutteau, who appeared to b» in excellent spirits, walked in with the officers. Gen. Crocker, the warden, ig absent in New York, but Deputy Russ, who was in charge, recetved the party. The pris- ; oner Was taken into the waiting room, where he was searched by the jail guards and his shoes taken from him. He sald nothing to the officers, except “Gen. Sherman will be down. soon.” He was taken to a cell in the south wing. The proceeding was over so quick that no one in the neighborhood of the jail, except the officers, knew that the man was there. The crowd that had followed the van a short dis- tance from the police headquarters was unable to keep pace with it. So the coming of tne prisoner was unheralded. FEARS OF LYNCHING. ‘When reporters arrived at the jafl door soon afterwards the guards stoutly dented that the man had been brought there, They feared that some demonstration would be made against the jail if the man’s presence there was known. Deputy Russ, who spent some time in trying to convince a Stak reporter that the man was not there, was finally forced to yield the point. “I can’t let you see him,” said the deputy. “I can’t even tell you where he ts, Orders were sent to Gen.

GITEAU'S LETTER TO GEN. SHERMAN, Just as son as Kearney caught Giteau by the ‘arins, the latter said, “Hold up, I want yeu to send this paper to Gen. Sherman at once.” ‘Tuls letter was dropped and afterwards picked Up and handed to Capt. Vernon, who took it to Col. Corkbii’s offics, and it was sent to Gen. Sherman. It stated that he (Giteau) had jast shot the President; that it was a political ne- cessity that prompted the act. ‘The pistol was not taken trom Giteau until he got to headquarters, Lieut. Evkloil took it trom Lim, Two chambers were empty and tree had loa?s inthem. The prisoner told McElrcsh that he nad been sitting in Lafayetie square for seteral weeks watching the Presi- dent's house. It was rumored this afternoon ‘that the Waehington Light Infantry have been orcered out to keep guard over the jail. Precautions Against Lynching. Gen. Sherman, who was at the Baltimore and Potomac depot when the act was commit- ted, sent a telephonic dispatch to Gen. Ayres, at the Arsenal, to send a guard of soldiers to the jatl and another to the President's House. ‘This order was carried out at once. The Major of Police has ordered details of police at both these places. Fears are ex- pressed that 8 mob will demand Giteau for im- mediate and summary punisument, sane or in sane, t Gep, Ayres bas been directed by the Secré- tary 6! War to placé a company of soldiers at Major Brock’s disposal, and they will be sent to guard the jail. Major Brock sent a guard of twenty-five mounted men there this afternoon to remain until relieved. If there is any con- spiracy it 1s thought that this will frustrate apy attempts at €scape or rescue. All who have come {n contact with the assassin agree that, judging from hts looks and actions, he tc more of a knave than fool or lunatic. In less than an hour after the order of Col. Webster was issued Co. A had ninety men in uniform at their armory. Services of the District Militia Ac- cepted. The District Commissioners. through Adju- tant General Webster, have tendered to the general of the army the services of the District troops, which have been accepted. Gen. Sher- man, Gen. Ayres and Adjutant General Webater had a consultation at the War department this P.m., and concluded to arrange for a signal through the fire alarm, which will be a call for all the District troops to assemble at thelr armories, and remain until further orders. The signal arranged upon will be promulgated through the press _as Boon as a conference can be had with the chief engineer of the fire de- partment, through Fire Commissioner Collins. MAJOR WEBSTER'S ORDER, ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE, ) WasHINGTON, July 2d, 1581. f {Circular.|—Pursuant to orders from the Commanding General of the Army of the United States, the various military organiza- tons of the District of Columbia will be pre- pared to assemble at their reapective armories upon a signal of six strokes, to be repeated three times, from the fre alarm, and will hola themselves in readiness for such instructions asthe occasion may demand. By order of the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, AMOS. WEBSTER, Adjutant General, THE SIGNAL AGREED UPON by the War department police and fire depart- ments is that six strokes,three7times in succes flop, is for the turning out of the military and 1s Lot 8 fire alarm. Commissioner Dent to the Police. Commissioner Dewi t:sucd the following te Major Brock this afternoon: “Masor: The serious condition of affairs growing out of the criminal assault on the life of the President induces the Commisstoners to urge on you and the force under your com mand the uapertanee of great circumspection vigilance and energy in maintaining order and 7 and in suppressing all noisy and unseemly lemonstrations, especially on the 34 and 4th instants, when ordinarily the patriotic fervor of the people 1s allowed free expression, but Which should now be chastened by the anxiety which Is felt by every good citizen.” Guiteau Formerly a Member of the Oneida Community. Guiteau was born in Freeport, Ill, and is the second son of the late L. W. Guiteau,who, from 1864 to his death, was the cashier of the Second ‘National Bank in that city. He is now about 42 yearsof age. When about 12 years of age his father embraced the doctrine of perfection as taught by the Onelda community, and with his wife and son joined that community in New York. The father, however, returned after a short absence, leaving the boy in the commu- nity, but after an absence of about four years the boy returned and was sent by his father to Chicago to study law, and graduating there, being an excellent speaker, he soon commenced to rise in his profession. A SECOND ADVENTIST. Finally he mixed his religious notions with his practice, and the latter fell off, and then taking up the Second Advent belief he com- menced to lecture on the subject and to pubd- Ush books thereon. Finally he left the country and travelled in Europe, being assistea, it ts believed, by his father. He has an older brother in Boston—J. Wilson Guiteau—and a younger brother succeeded the father in the bank in Freeport. About two years ago he was in the city and lectured at Lincoin Hall on his favorite subject, the second coming of the Messiah, but had a small audience. His friends in Iliinois have regarded him as a monomantiac for years, but harmless, but the opinion is advanced that the death of his father caused him to get be- hind hand in bis pecuniary affairs, and finally the homtcida] mania was formed on his mind. Guiteau as au Office Seeker. Mr. Brown, chief clerk of the State depart— ment, knows Guiteau well by his frequent visits tothe department. He says that he never re- garded him as aman of sound mind, neither did he think he was what would be called a crézy man. He was most persistent in his office-secking, and seemed to have no idea that he was not fitted to fill any place in the gov- ernment service. He applied for appointment 48 minister to Austria, without the least discom- posure, as if he had a right to aemand the Place. When he dropped from the Austrian mission to ask for a eonsulate in France his arsurance, self-complacency and his idea of his Tights never deserted him, What They Know of Guiteau in hicaTo. o Curcaco,July 2.—Charles J.Guiteau, who shot the President this morning, has been known in Chicago for the past 12 years, and for much of that time been considered as more than hal: insane, He may have had French biood in his ‘Veins, but was to all appearance an American. ‘He wore his hair brushed upin front, giving hfs face @ startling look, When he first ar- rived in Chicago be began practicing law. He married a sister of George a well- known lawyer here, and lived about the Union Place, but being of a shiftiess charac ter, he be- came & nuisance, and was finally forbidden his York, only to return in 1878. He then proteased to have been converted, and began under the auspicies of the Young Meas’ Chris . A few days ego Guiteau, the assagsin, called ~| Feoollect the date, but I saw him some two or | upon Attorney Geworal MacVeazh. He wasnot excited at all but deliberate in pressing his claims. He said he was an applicant for a conrular position at Parts, and that Biatne and the President had disappointed him. Oaly day before yesterday Guiteau had an interview With the Attorney General, in which ke said he bad been badly treated, and that had he had yet to de taken care of. What They Know of Guiteau at the Navy Department, STATEMENT OF THE ASSISTANT LIBRARIAN, On the Seth of vune last Guiteau registered at the Riggs House and was assigned to room 222, His daily haunt then was the Navy de- Partmert. Mr, Trudeau, the assistant librarian, sald to day to a Star reporter: “Soon after the Inaugural Guiteau came to the ilbrary of the Navy department regularly every day. He bad a stern, rather than an idiotic look. He said be was an applicant for the U. S. consul generalship at Paris, He said he was certain he could cet the place because he was a mem- ber of the executive committee of the repubdli- can party. Hedid not say in what state he served as such officer.” Mr. Tru jeau asked Lim if he was acquainted wit French language. As far as 1 Can remember Sald It was not necessary that he — 3] tke language. He found in the li ya giving full information about consulships. This Le kept :0ur days aud stbsequenuly returned it. When became to the library he spoke but little. He would come in and say ‘goud morn- ing,’ and that Was about all. He came in some Weeks ago and borrowed from the library Badeau's history of Gen. Grant. When he brought it back he said: ‘That Is a good book. Ii gives Grant due credit." The last time ne came to the library he sald Blaine was a fraud. He had pet given Dim a cousulsbip. Then,” said Mr. Trudexu, “be drcpped off and aid noi | make his Cally call. Wein the office usel to | say, "I wonder where Our consul ts to-day.” 16 thedibrary we always Called him our consul.” What they Know of Guiteau at His Boarding House. Learning that Guiteau had recently been boarding at the residence of Mrs. Grant, No, 922 14th street northwest, a Stak reporter was at once dispatched to the premises. He found the family disposed to be extremely reticent on the subject of their late boarder, and It was only by dint of close questioning that our repre- sentative was enabled to get the following par, ticulars: = = = pp Sultean “caged bund abont efx weeks ago. ~c 38 described as a shabby, seedy looking man, of medium height, well along in the thirties in 8ge, and anything but Prepoasessing In ap. nearerce, He wore a thin mustache and goatee, rather cark in color, and had a queer, wild look in hiseyes. The general opinion among his fellow-boarders was that he was a “little off;”” others thought him half crazy, bat sane enough lo know what he was about. He referred fre- quently to his prospects for a foreign mission, and spoke confidently of his early appoint- ment, The day before yesterday he was in- formed by Mrs. Grant that she would no longer be put off with promises; that he then owed her $50, and unless he pad at once he must leave the house, Guiteau declared himself un- able to pay, and sald that he would receive his appotntment in a few days and settle up, but he kK this story having worn itse!f threadbare, was | not accepted as satisfactory, and Mr. Guiteau bad to go. Since then they had not seen or heard cf him until the tragedy cf this morn- ing. What the Clerkof the Arlingtoa Knows of Guiteau, Mr. F. O. Bennett, the clerk at the Arlington Hotel, says, “Guiteau,the assassin,used to come around here every day. He was a semi-seedy character; that 1s, he was respectable and he would haunt the reading room of the hotel. I of course wanted to know who he was; he seemed to be harmless; he would come in apd read the newspapers for an hour or more. He had a stern, rather than & furtive look. He acted strangely, but without method. One day he came to the ‘hotel and said: “Can you tell me when the President 1s coming back from Long Branch?” ‘ Yes,” sald Mr. Bennett; “he will come te- morrow on the 4 o'clock train.” “Will the Post- master General be with him,” said the assas- sit? “Yes, I think he will,” said the clerk. “What time does the train leave Long Branch which will bring the Presi- Cent here.” asked the sassassin. “About 5 o’cicck, 1 think,” said the clerk. Mr. Bennett says Giteau_was not one whom he could say was a beat. He behaved himself Well, but strangely. He would pore over the ees, and often take three hours to read em. Guitean’s Chicago Career. It is taid that Guiteau 1s a third-rate lawyer of Chicago and formerly practiced in the west side police court of that city. A strange man, @ restaurant keeper from that city, called at Police headquarters to-day, stating that he knew him well, and that Guiteau owed him a bill of $7. | He said that he met him In this city March 4th—inavguration day; that he was thought to be a sort of third-rate lawyer and Political lunatic. Guiteau wag staying at the St. James hotel at that time. Guitean’s Hackman, Aquilla Barton, the colored hackman with whem the assassin bargatned for a hack, said toa Star man: “He sald he wanted me to take him to de berryin’ groun’; to de grave yard. I wish to God I'd ba knowd what his object was, and I'd ha tuck him to de berryin’ grown afore now. Indeed he’d a done been dar fo’ dis time,” How Mrs. Garfield Saved the Presi- dent's Life. Or one of the papers found in the assassin’s bundle was a memorandum to theeffect that he was at the Baltimore and Potomac depot on the occasion when the President went away with Mrs. Garfield to Long Branch, some two Weeks ago; that his purpose then was to shoot the President at that time, but when ke saw the sick wife of the President leaning on himas they passed through the depot, he thought that God was with him, and he put back bis weapon until & more propitious tite; that bad it not been for Mra. Garfleld being Sick at that ttme he would have been killed. Scenes in and Around the White House. At 3 o'clock Col. Corbin telegraphed ex-Presi- dent Hayes as follows:—“President’s pulse up 128, Chances of recovery grow more and more Tembte. Doctors offer no encOuragement.” At this writing the President’s pulse fallen to 112, and ne seems to be a little easier. He has been suffering most excruciating pain all day, but has borne it manfully. His senses have not at any ume deserted him, cognizes all his friends who enter the room. He is yg in his own chamber, in the right wing of the house. About the White House grounds ts gathered an immense concourse of people, eagerly awalt- in news from within the house. Members of the Cabinet, physicians and members of the press alone are admitted, In the grounds, two companies of soldiers, one of inientry and one of cavalry, trom the Arse are encamped, and will remain all Light. Mounted police officers patrol the ave- Dues, and a double guard is of a subdued character. eagerness of the crowd for news is shown wheuever any one leaves the house. He is immediately sur- Tounded by @ score or more, and can force a passage through the anxious ones.
