On Wednesday, May, 18, 1881, the assassin determined to murder the President. He had neither money, or .pistol- at ..the time. About the last of May. he went into O'Meara's store, cornet of Fif teenth and F streets, in this city, and examined some pistols, asking for the largest calibre. He was , shown two similar in calibre and only, .different, in price. On Wednesday, June 8, he pur chased the pistol which he used, for which he paid $10, ha having in the meantime borrowed $15 from a gentle man in this city, on the plea that he wanted to pay his board bill. On the same evening, about seven; o'clock, he took the pistol and went to" the foot of Seventeenth street, and practiced fir ing at aboard, firing ten. shots. He then returned to bis boarding place, and wrapped it in his coat, and - waited his opportunity, , On Sunday morning, Juno 12, he was sitting in Lafayette Park, and saw the President leave for the Christian Church on Vermont avenue, and he at once re turned to his room, obtained his. pistol, put it in his hiD pocket, and-followed the President to church; h& entered j the church, but found he could not kill him there without danger of killing some ona. else. He lionced that the President sat near a window; after church he made an examination of the window and found he could reach it! without any trouble, and that from this! point he could shoot the President! through the head without killing anyi one else. The following Wednesday! he went to the church, examined tliej location and the window, and became satisfied he could accomplish his pur-( pose, and lie determined, therefore, to make the attempt at the church the) following Sunday. He learned from the papers that the President would leave the city on Saturday, the 18th ot June, with Mrs, Garfield for .Long Branch; he therefore determined t0 meet him at the depot He left his boarding place about 5 o'clock Satyrj day morning, June 18, and went down to the river, at the foot of Seventeenth street, and fired five shots to practice his aim and be certain his pistol was ifl good order. He then went to the de pot, and was in the ladies' waiting room of the pepotj' with his pistol ready when the presidential party entered. He says Mrs. Garfield looked so weak and frail that he had not the heart to shoot the President in her presence, and, as he knew he would have another opportunity, he left the depot. He had previously engaged a carriage to take him to the jail. On Wednesday even ing the President and his son, and I think United States Marshal Henry, went out for a ride, The assassin took his pistol and followed them, and watched them for some time, in hopeB the carriage would stop, but no oppor tunity was given. On Friday evening, July l, he was sitting oh the seat in the park opposite the White Hou;se, when he saw the President come out alone; he followed him down the avenue to Fifteenth street, and then kept on the opposite side of the street up Fifteenth, until the President entered the resi dence of Secretary Blaine. He waited at the corner of Mr. Morton's late resi dence, corner Fif teenth and H for some time, and then, as he was afraid he would attract attention, he went into the alley in the rear of Mr. Mor ton's residence, examined his pistol and waited. The President and Secretary Blaine came out together and he fol lowed them over to the gate--jp the White House, but could getnopnor- breakfastedtthBiggs House about8eTen:p'cloicka He then walked SpJaSthe parKandsafi- there-foe ah TwuiTTIeThenTOok" a ohehlffrse avenue car and rode to Sixth street, got out and went into the depot and loitered around there, had his shoes blacked,, engaged a hackman for $2 to take him to the jail, went into the water-closet and took his pistol out of his hip-pocket and un wrapped the paper from around it, which he had put there fo'fthe purpose of preventing tb,fe perspiration from the body dampening the powder, examined his pistol, carefully tried the' trigger and then returned and took a seat in the ladies' waiting-room, and as soon as the President entered advanced behind him and fired two shots. These facts, I think, can be relied upon as accurate, and I give them to the public to contra dict certain false rumors in connection with this most atrocious of atrocious ti crimes." Col. Corkhill says that the ppper.is.by no means "Guiteau concession, out merely a narrative o ascertained facts, derived s6rn.etftaes from Guiteauf and corroborated; sometimes from other parties and corroborated. It is in a feiw worda what the district attorney; con siders to be a complete report- of uch of Guiteau's movements as have a rela tion to his attempt to assassinate the President.
