who I am ? I am one of the men who made Gar-
field President." Col. Crook told Mr. Brown of
this. Mr. Brown informed him of the true char-
acter of Guiteau, and he was not allowed liber-
ties thereafter with the White House stationery.
He has not been at the White House for about
a week.
INQUIRIFG WHEN THE PRESIDENT WOULD LEAVE.
Last Tuesday he met one of the employes,
and was very particular in inquiring when the
President would leave and by what train and
road. He several times approached THE STAR
reporter at the White House. He has an idiotic
grin on his face at times. One day he told the
reporter that this was
"S H-LL OF A GOVERNMENT."
"The people are no better than slaves," he
said. He has also haunted the State depart-
ment in search of his consular position in
France. He is as well known there as at the
White House. Secretary Blaine knows him
well, as he has worried him a good deal about
the place he wants. He would stop the Secre-
tary while the latter was going to or from his
carriage.
The President's Dispatch to Mrs.
Garfield.
1881
While the President was lying at the depot
the following dispatch was sent:
Mrs. Garfield, Elberon, N.J.:
The President wishes me to say to you from
him that he has been seriously hurt. How se-
riously he cannot yet say. He is himself, and
hopes you will come to him soon. He sends
his love to you.
A, F. ROCKWELL.
FOUR YEARS AGO.
It may be remembered that when President
Hayes was about being inaugurated a party
from Chicago named Myers came here and
threatened to assasinate him, but was arrested
by Detective McDevitt and locked up.
