Washinglton, July 2.--President (ar- º
r field was shot this morning at the Balti
more and Potomac depot, while on his 1
way to New England. He received one
ball ill his arm and one between the hip I
and kidneys. Five, physicians are in at
tendanuce and have probed for thile ball t
without success. He isdangerously wound- I
ed Imt Iay recover. The man was arrest
ed iummediately and carried to the police k
I headqluarter, and slbsequently removed k
to jail. The shooting occurred in the li- t,
dies room of the depot immiediately after
the President had entered walking arm
in arm with Secretary Blaine, on their
way to the limited express train, which
I was about ready to leave. Secretary q
Blaine, on hearing pistol shots, two in t
nlumber, rushed in the direction ronm a
whence they came with the view of ar- d
I resting the assassin. Before reaching the e
, man he noticed the President fall and re- $1
turned to him aund lifted hint up. Both u
shots took effeet, first in the right arm 1,
I and second just above the right side near t
the kidney. Physicians probed for the i
ball unsuccessfully. Two companies of t
regulars were ordered from the barracks I
º and have been posted around the execun
I tire mansion. There is great excitement ii
r and the streets, are all thronged with (
anxious inquirers eager to learn the con- f
dition of the President. The shooting oc- a
- curred in the presence of fifty or sixt a la
s dies. The President has been made as d
I omfortable as possible, and all persons c
are excluded from the grounds. Tle e
President is conscious but does not com- t
l plain of great suffering. It is impoqBible I
to say as yet what the result will be but
surgeons are of the opinion that his a
wounds are not necessarily fatal. a

icl Washington, July 2.--There is a thery
ary which has many adherents, that the '
,l tempted assassination was not the work of
on0 a Innitic, but the result of a plot much
ar- deeper and darker than has been suspet
the ed. It is cited in support of this theory
re- that Guittean arranged before with a back
nth man to be in readiness to drive him swift
au ly in the direction of Conressional Ceme
ear tery as silon as he made his appearance on
the returning from the depot. In the mean
Sof time he had.left a bundle of papers in the
cks hands of a ioy with the intention, it is
'n- maintained, of creating the belief of his
eat insanity, in the event of his Capture.
ith Guitteau said on his way to jail that the
on- President's assassination was premeditated
00- and that he went to Long Branch for the
la- purpose of shooting him there, and was
as deterred by the enfeebled and saddened
on condition of Mrs. Garfield, which appeal
rite ed so strongly to his sense of humanity
un- that he came back without carrying out
ble his intention.
but Those by whom Gnittean has been ex
his amined sinee the shooting say that he
shows no symtoms of insanity, and that it
has is understood the letter which has already
eat been telegraphed, addressed to the White
house, is tle only document in the collec
. tion. which supports the theory of insani
to ty. It is reported that Guitteau had an
accomplice whose description is in 'the
