NEW YOHK , September 27. I returned
turned to Now York this morning
having had the benefit of three ro
flcctivp days at the national capita
following the removal of Prcsiden
Garfield's remains. The last of th
fussy politicians had gone to Cleveland
land , and thcro was a thoughtful torn
per in the air of Washington. On
of the first things I did was to tele
phone to the district attorney , Cork
hill , an old acquaintance , and nppoin
A talk with hint. Ho is the only per
son in the country , except possibl ,
the jailor , who has had any prolong * )
conversation with the assassin Gui
teau , and reports of conversation wit !
that malefactor are cither invented o
snatched and built up on a glimpse o
his person.
I wont to the district attorney"
oflico , and spent about two hour
there alone with him , inspecting th
implements of the crime awl obtain
ing Mr. Corkhill's theory concornjiij
it. Corkhill is , I think , n native o
the Isle-of-Man , between the Irish
Scotch and English coasts. The people
plo are called Manxmen. I think hi
came to this country when a child ,
though it is possible ho may have
been born after his Manx parents
came here. Ho was a lawyer in Iowa
and married the eldest daughter p
Judge Miller , of the supreme court in
Iowa. Ho has since married the
stop-daughter of the late Hiram Wai
bridge , of New York , who was a ver ;
close friend of Horace Grpeley. Mr
Corkhill came to Washington Citj
about twelve years ago and publishec
the Daily Chronicle. He was ap
pointed United States district attor
ney by President Hayes , at .the re
quest of Judge Miller. Ho is nbou
45 years old , with a round head am
very broad face , and sufficient ad dress
incisive , and with pertinacity enougl
to make a good prosecutor. It 13
barely possible , however , that ho
lacks the real dislike and hate of the
assassin necessary to express to a juri
the reality of his crime.
After Mr. Corkhill.took his office
and long bcfoie the assassination o
Mr. Garfield , ho had engaged to write
I a legal analysis of the crime of Booth
the killer of Mr. Lincoln. Ho ha (
prepared scrap-books of newspapers
and printed matter and original test !
mony for this purpose , when he sud
denly found himself face to face wit !
a presidential a&sassin himself.
Mr. Corklull V > ooan by aponing .
largo safe and producing a pistol with
a white bone handle , a very thick
squarish assemblage of metal at the
revolving part and a short barrel
with a sight at the end of it. The
whole thing was about five and a hal
inches long by nearly fo.ur inches
from the end of the handle to the top
of the trigger , but was rather a clumsy
pistol , made of common materials by
some English or American manufac
turer with some knowledge of its chiel
market. To a boor , or'a Sown' ' rowdy
this pistol would seem a very hand
some thing. An expert int revolvers
would notice the coarse .finish upon it
and the largeness of the parts. Push
ed in beneath the pistol was a. sort of
hoop of metal inclosing the trigger.
On top of the barrel was a string ol
letters , beneath which issued the ter
rible ball , saying , "English bull-dog. '
Nowhere around the pistol could any
mark bo found indicating where it was
made. This omission I took to mean
that it was one of those cheap and not
very sure or safe revolvers intended
to bo sold by the gun stores , so that
they could make a good , big profit by
retailing it for $10.1 doubt if thepisto ]
alone cost the gun-shop man over $5 ,
if so much.
"Look out ! " said the district attor
ney ; "all the cartridges are in there
loaded , except the two Guiteau fired
at the president. "
From a piece of paper Mr. Corkhill
unrolled one of the leaden slugs , the
second one Guiteau fired , and put it
in my hand a broken piece of lead
about as long as a fingernail , consid
erably thicker than a load-pencil.
- "Thoro you have the weapon , " said
ho. "As a great many stories i have
been told about fchia assassination
which have no basis in fact , and are
either mistakes or inventions , I will
show you how Garfield was murdered
with this weapon. " Ho then sent for
a series of maps of the depot building ,
ono of which was on the largest scale
and had traced npon it all the move
raents of the respective parties , HO
confirmed by Guiteau himself , '
pietol , " said Mr. Corkhill , "was
bought for the purpose of this murder
at 5 o'clock on the morning that ho
was to kill Garfiold. Ha wont to the
foot of Seventeenth street , near the
old house where it was said Booth's
conspirators were to abduct Mr. Lin
coln , and ho fired at a mark. Having
satisfied himself that the pistol turned
nroporly in itu shell and would fire
traight , ho waited until it was time
or the president to go to the depot ,
hired a carriage , went to the depot ,
and took a seat hero in the > ladies'
room ( pointing to the spol1) ) When
the president came in Guiteau got
behind him so close that when he
reached out his arm , as I do with this
pistol , it was not more than three or
four feet from- the president's
body. Itwas that iirst shot
which entered the president's
body , staggered , and fora moment
bent him up before ho foil. No other
shot entered his body afiorwnrd ,
though Guiteau did fire again. The
president not immediately falling , and
ilio assassin being completely intent
I/ on finishing the deed fired , and the
. shot passed , as the president was
mnking down. This shot did not en
ter his body at all. There was a trav
eling glitzier in the largo room of the
depot between the ladies' room and
the train. Ho heard the first shot
and it frightened him. While ho was
wondering thcro was another shot ,
and ho Iclt the gloss in his pack which
ho takes out to mend windows hero
or there cracked , us if struck by a
ball. Ho become so scared that ho
instantly left the depot. When ho
took off his pack in the evening to see
how much glass was broken ho found
this lead from the second cartridge ,
which had probably gone over Gar-
field's shoulder as ho was failing and
struck that pack of glass. There is
no doubt whatever , ' said Mr , Cork-
hill , "that this piece of load you are
holding was the second shot about
which such foolish stories have boon
told. "
"Hero , " said the district-attorney ,
"are some photographs of him just as
good as they can bo taken. If you
were to go down to the jail and see
him you could have no better idea of
him than you can get from those
pictures. Ho may look a little dirtier
and more sfgnificant , for these are not
full length pictures. "
I took a series of these pictures in
my hand , and obscrvc l at once that
the typo of the assassin was French.
Ho looked to ono like i\ low French
man like these around the barriers
of P.xris ono who would steal or cat
diseased meat , or espy the police in
both directions whenever he came out
of his house. The eye had in it the
confession of a spirit with serious in
tentions , yet no province of work or
application ; the eye of such a French
man as might in times of socialism
have a following , or create for himself
a small and radical notoriety * some
where between the faubourgs and
newspapers. His hair was cropped
and his beard , which extended around
the chops and jaw , and also assumed
the likeness of a mustache , was very
thin , as if the natural soil of the man's
skin was poor , and yet his mouth had
that arch indicative of obstinacy of
purpose. His nose was short and
broad. His perceptive bumps above
his eyebrows were pretty good , but
the line between them , coming down
the middle of the forehead , was deep
ly cut , as if mental worry and the
loss of memory had wrinkled him
there. The eyes wore large , unsatis
fied , introspective , as if they turned
within himself and found nothing
there that did not throw them out
again with the world , yet thinking of
the wreck ho was. The forehead was
rather low ; but broad , and the ears
stood out stubby and belligerent. Ho
is such a looking man as you might
expect to find some night fumbling in
your bureau for valuables , who would
first stop to explain that it was .1 mis
take about his being there , and would
next try to thrust a knife into you if
ho found you had him in a corner ,
The face was blasted with all its hopes
deferred until the world seemed to
hove closed around him and left nothj
ing thcro but the resources of a thief.
Not one of those pictures indicates a
Frenchman of the same general typo
that put assassination with the regu
lar agencies of politics.
"lathis man cra y , Col. Corkhill ? "
"No ; he is neither crazy nor desti
tute of intelligence and requirements.
Ho is no more crazy than any of the
people wo have seen who have told us
that on a certain day or night God
had pardoned all their sins ; that they
felt them slide off. I remember an
old kinsman of mine , who tf iis a clergy
man of the Methodist church , who
related to me how , at a single moment
of time , all his sins had escaped from
his back and made him a new creature.
I couldn't say he was a crazy man ,
nor could I say that ho lied. That is
all the assumption Guiteau makes ot
craziness that ho received by inspi
ration the idea that ho must kill Garfield -
field in order to unite the broken col
umns of the republican party. Ho
says it took hold of him as nothing
over did before , and ho felt that he
was going to do a great deed which
noone , , else in the country would dare
undertake. "
"Well , colonel , there must bo some
thing peculiar about the man to drive
him to assume such a commission , j
even if it had been a good ono. "
"Thoro comes in , " said the district
attorney , "tho man's vanity. Ho is
undoubtedly a man who thinks a great
deal of himself. Ho does not consider
his lifo a failure by any means. Ho
thinks if it has not boon appreciated
that it is the fault of the world which
had not brightness enough to appreci
ate him. Ho thinks his speeches , his
looks , his arguments at the bar , his
general views as to politics and party
management are the views of a great
Here Col. Corkhill took up one of
luiteau's books in a red cover , enti
tled , "Truth , " a title which seems to
strike every scoundrel in the country
as the proper designation for his con
coctions. The district attorney had
marked this book , and Guiteau him
self had rewritten parts of it in ink ,
talicized places and made corrections ,
and written on the fly-leaf that this
was a correct copy. Corrections must
appear in f uturo editions or something
o that effect. The district , attorney
aid :
"Now this book has nothing in it
ndicativo of an eccentric mind ; noth-
JIR the least suggestive of an insane
nan. Ho proceeded to read passages
whicn struck mo as almost a repro
duction of ordinary prayer-meeting
and class-meeting talk. Guiteau wont
on to say there was nothing worth n
pnsidpratinn in this world but Chris-
ian faith. Ho reproved Henry Ward
Needier for having mixed himself up
n scandal , thereby reducing the CAUBO
of Christ. Ho referred to Dr. Tal-
mage as not having dignity enough
when ho argued for his Divine Master ,
lo adduced ono other clergyman , the
lev. Mr. Murray , 'of Boston , for hav- )
ng run away without paying his billa
ftor having been considerable of a
howman , and said that it was a sad
ecord.in tho-Christian diary. " Too-
ilo of the world , ' says Guiteau , 'place
i good deal of stress on all things , .
nd Christianity is run down by >
means of them. '
"Ho speaks of corrupt books , and
ays that Tom Paino's 'Ago of Ken-
ipn' ought never to have seen the
ight of circulation ; that it was a
rime , because it demoralized the con- i
cionco of young people , There is
ot a single idea in the book above
ho ordinary stupid , yet well-meaning , >
xhortor or class-leader , and , nu far >
s I could BCO , not a single point of
riglnnhty. His having published
ny books will , in BOHIO quarters ,
reato an interest in him. if
"Now , " said Col. Corkhill , "Gui-
au is a man of slight ability , as it ;
ccms from this publication , yet ho
appears to value everything ho docs
at tro highest. I Miould call him an
egotist , with an inclination for morals
and affairs. Perhaps , when ho seized
the idea of killing the president , it
stood up in his mind as an inspiration ,
and his intense temperament immedi
ately fastened upon it and carried it
into effect , "
"What do think , colonel , about his
beinc revengeful ? "
"lie snys he never was insulted in
his life by cither Mr. Blaine or Mr.
Garfield ; that ho never indulged in an
instant's feeling of spite against them.
Ho wanted to be consul to Paris , and
thought hia claims were considerable
enough to get him the position ; but
while waiting for this place the other
idea scorns to have crossed his mind ,
that ho could harmonize the repub
lican party by putting Garfield out of
the way and letting Arthur succeed
him , Fioni this moment he throw
away his claims to oflico , and was
wholly absorbed by the other idea. "
"It is not true , either , " continued
Mr. Corkhill , "that ho dogged the
piesidont around the White House
steps. Ho did keep a watch over the
White House from the opposite
square , and particularly watched the
newspapers to find out the movements
ot the president. After this idea took
possession of him \\ouldhardly have
been possible to save Garfiold. It
Bccins to mo the man had put the
whole remnant of his will into the de
sign , and the only chance Garfield had
was in Guiteau being arrested and dis
armed before ho could carry out his
purpose. Ho kept the whole thing
to himself , however , not trusting any
body iu the world \\ith hia intention ,
and therefore when the act was done
it looked to many like n conspiracy ,
and took everybody by surprise. "
"Well , Col. Corkhill , can you un
derstand that a scheme of assassination
like this was yet relevant to the facts
of the day ? "
"Aa to tnat , " replied the Colonel.
"Guiteau had made a collection of
newspaper publications , severe criti
cisms on Garfield , nearly all taken
from the republican press. You must
remember that before Garfield was
shot there was a good deal of hard
comment upon him. Perhaps the
majority of republican newspapers
were invidious and censorious. A few
of them wore full of gall. Corres
pondents f were sent to Washington for
the i purpose of writing Garfield down.
Ho was accused of insincerity , cun
ning , malice , and many other things.
"The senate was arrested for a long
period. Not acting on the business
before it , this man Guiteau , impecun
ious j , uneasy , and rushing up toward
fame j , thought ho perceived justifica
tion j enough to go and buy that pistol
with his lost cent and shoot Garfield.
That is what I make out of the con
tents j of his mind , " said Corkhill.
"That is the line of justification ho
takes i that his motives wore good ;
that God inspired them , and that the
result shows that God was on hia side ,
and that ho was not mis taken ; that lie
had ] no malice indeed , it was only n
sacrifice to a mission a great duty. "
"How do you account for his being
such a beat withall that fmo philoso
phy j ? " "Well , " said the Colonel , "ho is
sensitive about that. When I wont to
see him right after the crime I said
to \ him : 'Mr. Guiteau , admitted what
yo"u say as to your sense of duty , you
will also concede that I have my duty
to perform. I will give you a chance
to state to me what accomplices you
had in this murder. You may giye
me whatever reply you choose , but I
will know the truth. Every man and
woman with whom you associate will
bo marked throughout this nation un
less you relieve them by giving the
names of your accomplices. '
" 'Well , ' said Guiteau , 'that is easy
enough. I am the very man who re
ceived the mission , ana I'did ' not re
ceive it from the human source. I
am liable to be indicted and tried for
the shooting of the president , but not
for any" other act of my life. You
have no right to inquire whether I
paid this bill or that bill , because that
don't belong to this act. I shot the
president. If he dies I can bo tried
for murder. If ho does not die I can
bo sent to prison for a few years.
That is all you can do. '
"I found that ho had inquired into
the laws of the district affecting this
crimo. Ho also expressed surprise
that I would do such a brutal thing as
to annoy his relatives , friends and ac
quaintances. I have aeon no other
signs of insanity about him , " said Mr.
Corkhill , "than this exalted idea of
his own value , and of the utility and
propriety of all his acts. Ho would
go to the gallows with his head proud
ly in the air if the execution was pub
lic enough. "
Mr. E. B. Wight , of Chicago , cor
respondent at Washington of The
Tribune , said to mo to-day : "I know
Guitoau very well. Ho infested the
Tribune oflico until ho was called a
dead-beat in its columns. When he
sued the paper for libel they proposed
to plead and prove the truth ot the
charges , and ho never pressed the
suit. I think malice was a largo part
of hia animus against Garfiold. Ho b
liad been ropulsoa both at the white
house and state department. His
great egotism tended to make him
devilishly sensitive. Ho invari
ably brought suit against news
papers wliich exposed him as
boarding house dead beat , and then
Ilia sublime assurance would some
times prompt him to propose the com
promise of the suit for an interest in
the paper. I think ho felt envenomed
igainst the administration , and look ;
ing about for some means of revenge
thought ho would plead a religious
luty. Ho has a wild look out of his
yca , and eomo people would think
lim crazy. His talk , however , is
jlnusiblo , and as a , borrower and
Boarding house beat ho ia remarkable ,
110 will osk-for any amount aa a loan ,
icver standing on a small amount
.vhon ho can got a largo sum. It ia
y no means certain that ho will bo
riod. Suic'do ho would probably
Qck the courage to try , but I have
inticipated that some of the guards
night kill him. I think that first
incounterith the guard looked like
ruse to dispatch him , The second
nan who shot at him , Mason , is un-
loubtcdly insane. Guitcnu'a pros-
ects to be hungud are of the very
est. "
I was told by another observer in
iVashington that the only point in
juiteau'a favor would bo the difficulty
impaneling a jury which had not
ormcd an opinion in his case. No-
rocs , southerners , naturalized citi- )
ens , and republicans all wont for : f n
hanging him. It waa generally
thought that Emory Storrs yearned to
defend Guiteau.
