Editorial Letter.

WASHINGTON, D. 0., July 1, 1882.
Dean GAZETTE :—

One year ago tomorrow the whole world
was horrified by the startling tidings that
went flashing over the wires, that the Pres-
ident of our golrious Republic had been
stricken down by the hand of an assassin.

. The horrible news, unbelieved at first, was
proved, alas, too true, and a great wail of
anguish Went up from' the farlherest lilm‘ts
of our stricken land. The details of the trag-
edy are too well known to need rehersai, in-
deed, they have become apartof the private
history of each man, as well as of public rec-
ord. The calm and patient bearing of our
poor, wounded President, through all his
weary weeks of suffering, suffering which at
times caused the sweat of anguish to ooze
from his brow, is too deeply graven in the
hearts of our people, ever to be effaced, till
the cold hand of death lays its imprint -on
our souls. Through all the P csident’s suffer-
ing, so nobly and heroicly b , e, the hearts
and sympathies of the Nation were with him,
and none but can remember with what fever-
ish anxiety, news from that weary couch was
looked for. Prayers, the fervent outpourings
of a Nation’s love. were offered to the great
God in Heaven, that He, in His omnipotent
mercy, would spare to us tile life we held so
dear. The whole land prayed, and to the
Mercy Seat of God ascended such petitions
as may, methinks, have made grim Death re-
lent and for a moment release his hold upon
his innocent prey. Bat ’twas not to‘ be, and
the black pail fell over our land. Sorrow,
only such sorrow as can come from loving

‘hearts, made all forget all else save their com-
mon loss. Over the bier of the martyred
President, the tears of a nation fell, and his
untimely grave was wet with the sorrows of
many hearts. All this, aye, and more, we
remember, and though the hand of time has
spread across our hearts and in a measure
tempered our grief, still is the memory of
that summer’s day and of the dead we lost,
forever perfect and enshrined in the temple
of our memory. .

Yesterday, in the north eastern part of this

' city, died the wretch by whose demoniacai
hand this suffering was caused. Baffled in
his efforts for a pardon, forsaken by all men,

save by one who sought at the eleventh hour"

to winghis erring heart to God, he yielded
up his life in expiation of his crime. His
life! A thousand such were not worth the
one be murdered, yet ’twas his only atone-
ment, and, compelled by the stern hand of a
just law, he made it. As the drop fell that
ushered his soul into eternity a wild, exdlt-
ing cheer rose from the thousands assembled
outside the jail, and if, at that last and awful
moment, some sound of that cry could have
pierced the walls of his insensible mind, to
know that the world was rejoicing at his dis-
honorable end, would have been to him but a
just retribution.
DETAILS or THE EXECUTION.

Through the :courtesy of Warden J. S.
Croeker and his Deputy W. T. Cracker:
your correspondent was enabled to secure a
pass to witness the execution. Arriving at
the jail at about eleven he. was ushered into
the rotunda through which the procession to
the gallows was to pass, and there awaited
the final moment The interval of_ waiting
was occupied in inspecting the cell formerly
occupied by Guiteau, the scaffold and other
objects of interest. The window through
which Sergt. Mason fired at the assassin, is
still there and the bullet hole through the
window is plainly visible. After this at.
tempt upon the assassin‘s life he was moved
to one of the opposite tier of cells, the win-
dow of which was bricked up to within a few
inches of the top in order to prevent further
like attempts. This cell be occupied until
about two weeks ago when, fearing he might
have something concealed therein with which
to commit suicide at the last moment, War-
den Crocker without warning had him trans-
ferred to the cell adjoining, which he occu-
pied up to the day of the execution.

At 12:27 the procession to the scaffold"
started. First came the Warden and the ex-
ecutioaer, then the Rev. Dr. Hicks, Guiteau’s
spiritual adviser, followed by the prisoner
himself who with arms bound behind him
walked between two guards, several deputies
Guiteau walked

firmly and gave no sign of fear save for a

wild,.hunted expression in his eyes and a ner-

vous twitching of the corners of his mouth.

The procession passedthrough the rotunda
to the long corridor and down that to the
scaffold which was at the further end of the
hall. The assassin mounted the steps stead-
ily until he reached the last when he seemed
for a moment to waver, but was assisted
by the officers on either side of him. Upon
reaching the platform he was placed just be-
hind the drop. There was a slight delay
caused by the entrance of the 200 or more
spectators into the corridor and during this
interval theprisoner seemed to be busy in-
specting the scaffold and its paraphernalia.
A line of police was formed just at the, foot
of the scaffold to keep the crowd from press-
ing forward, and beyond this line no one but
the doctors were allowed to go. _

Afters short invocation‘ by Dr. Hicks,
Guiteau read a selection from the tenth chap-
ter of Matthew. He read well and in aclear
strong voice, and gave no signs of weakening.
Dr. Hicks then produced and held the manu-
script which was prepared 'by' the prisoner
that morning and which Guiteau called his
last prayer, while the condemned man read
it with great emphnsis. His allusions to
President Arthur and his prediction that the
.Nation would go. down in blood, were de-
livered with his body erect, head thrown
back and through his clenched teeth. When
he had finished reading his prayer he started
to sing a “poem" which he said he had pre-
pared that morning. During his singing he'
twice broke down and sobbed but soon com-
posed himself and finally finished‘ in a firm
voice. This weeping was construed by
some as a sign of weakening, but. your cor-
respondent was informed by several of the
officers of the jail that it was the prisoner’s
invariable custom to cry while he was sing-
ing. The song being finished, Dr. Hicks
placed his hand upon the prisoner's head and
gave him his final benediction. Then his
legs having been pinioned and the noose
having been placed over his head and care-

.fully adjusted about his neck, Executioner
Strong placed the black cap over file head of
the prisoner. One of the condemned man’s
special requests was that he should give the
signal for the drop to fall himself, and to
this the Warden had assented, giving him a
piece of paper which h as to let drop
when he was ready. When the black cap
had been placed over Guiteau’s head there
wasamoment of breathless silence. Then
the prisoner, with a loud cry of "Glory!
go!” let the paper fall. Instantly the drop
fell and his body swung in the air.

The fall was just four feet and all were
surprised at the stillness of the body. It
turned partly around, but there was not the
slightest perceptible movement of the limbs
or any evidence of a conscious effort to move
them. For at least thirty sccsnds after the
drop fell. the body hung 'mctionless, then
there was a slight m0vement of the shoulders
and legs, which however was due to muscu-
lar contraction. The drop fell at 12:44 and
at 12:47 the body was lowered slightly to be
examined by the physicians. Tuerc was a
decided action of the heart for fifteen min..
utes and the pulse fluttered two minutes
longer. At 1:19 the body was lowered and
placed in the coilin,‘,tbs black cap removed
and permission granted to the spectators to
pass alongside and view the body. When
sufilcient time had been given to view the
remains the warden had the corridorscleared
and Guiteau’s brother and sister were ' left
with their dead. .

SCENES AND mornENTs. -'

Policeman Kearney, the officer who first
mested Guiteau at the depot last July, was
present and, speaking to your correspondent,

said: “It’s glad I am to see the miserable
wretch strung up."

The execution was carried out in a very
neat and orderly manner and reflected great
credit upon the management and ability of
the warden and his assistants. There was

‘ none of the soul harrowing scenes so com-

mon upon such occasions. We have been
shown an article .ln one of the New York
dailies commenting severely open the way
things were managed. To this, being an eye
witness, your correspondent can say that the
person who wrote the article was either not
present and misinformed, or else was some
disgruntled individual who wished thus to
vent some pétty spite upon a faithful ofilcer.

When your correspondent reached the jail
he found Mrs. Seovillc at the door loudly
clamoring for admission. Not having any
pass, this was denied and thereupon quite a
scene was raised. The doorkeeper. however,
finally informed her that should the Presi-
dent himself applyfor admission without a-
pass, it would be refused him, and, recogniz-
ing the uselessness of further applications,
Mrs. Scoville subsided. .

Numerous stories were started to the effect
that Mrs. Scoville had attempted to smuggle
some poisoned flowers in to Guiteau so that
he, by eating them might at the-last moment
escape the gallows, but we were informed by
Warden Crockér that these stories were
purely sensational and there was no truth in
the reports. '

The assassin’s'brother, John W. Guiteau,
stood just at the foot of the scaffold and
calmly witnessed the execution. When the
body had been lowered into the cofiln be
stationed himself by its side and fanned away
the files. .

That there were other “cranks," reputed
sane, about the cityyis evidenced by the fact
that as high as $300 was offered, so it was
creditably reported, for a ticket of admission
to witness the execution. Bo this at it may,
word was selt your cerrespondent that if he
would sell— his press ticket of admission, he
could have $150 for it. Respect for one’s
self and a decent regard for Warden Crocker's
courtesy, we are confident, prevented any
idiotic negotiations from being consummated
with any of the privileged journalists.

Tun AUTorsx. '

Your correspondent was accorded a long-
thy and very interesting interview late , last
night, by Dr. Sowers, who took a leading
part in the autopsy. The doctor is one of
Washington's brightest and most accomplish-
ed physicians and surgeons. While not at-
tempting anything like an expert or even
professional detail of the case, (because of
the understanding with his professional
brethren participating in the autopsy that
all would join in an oflcial report, as soon as
it could be prepared) the doctor nevertheless,
narrated what had come under his observa-
tion in his frequent friendly interviews and
medical examinations of the prisoner, ever
since his first incarceration. As to the ex-
ecution, he says the prisoner would have
broken completely down, had it taken place
in private, but'so abnormal and intense. was
his vanity and egotism that he would face
death with an ‘air of stoical indifference, in
the presence of a crowd, before whom he
could pose and “show off." The doctor state‘s
his own convictions that he, was simply a
singularly vain and very bad, naturally in-
clined man.. He said he had never seen a
healthier brain or body, in spy human sub-
jeet among the great numbers he had exam.

prison van, at the time he was fired at, he
instantly collapsed morally, mentally, and
physically—fell to the floor 'of the vehicle
although not hit, and lost entire control of

the same attempted assault been made before
a ’crowd, Guiteau would have braved the
attack under the stimulus of his own vain
conceits that he was making a heroic" exhibit

4 of himself. The doctor interpretshis im-

pious prayer and crazy doggerel rehearsals
as cunningly devised artifices of his, to leave
behind an impression of mental unsoundness,
as the dectors says he knows, he could write
well, forcily and correctly. All in all, those
who have had means of knowing him best
agree that he knew perfectly well all that he
did;«that he was as entirely responsible for
his acts as any one living. That his vindic-
tiveness, self esteem and egotism, were
abnormal and amounted almost to monama-
nia, but his other mental attributes were

normal. .
PATENT orrron REPORTS.

The receipts of the Patent‘Ofilce so far
this year have been half a million of dollars
and the year is only half out. Commissioner
Marble says he expects the total for the year
will exceed a million of dollars. With such
a showing of the income of the Patent Ofilce
and its increase of business it is believed,
that the request by the Commissioner for the
appropriation for tho abridgment division
will be readily given by Congress. It is also
hoped that the fees for applications &c., will
soon be lowered as, at the present high rates
they form a serious obstacle to many worthy

. but poor inventors.

A coon APPOINTMENT.

tion of Mr. Crosby, has been the acting chief

yesterday with her children to pass the sum-
mer at Glen Cove, L. I. It will be remem-
bered she passed a summer, and most delight-
fully, as she assured your correspondent, at
the Dorlon House, some three years since.
She would have come to Norwalk the pres-
ent summer and again boarded at Gregory's
Point, but for the fact of a change in the
management of the Dorlon House.

Senator Jones of Florida, intends visiting
Mrs. Wm. Keyser, at her down town,
country seat, upon the adjournment of the

Keyser’s late husband werewarm friends in
Florida. and Mrs. K. stopped over here a
few days since, when returning from the
South to her Norwalk home, to see Senator
Jones and invite him to again visit our ligan-
tiful town. It will be remembered that he
was one of the Senatorial Committee which
attended the funeral of Connecticut’s loved
and lamented Senator, 0. S. Ferry.

The Mr. Fessenden of Maine, just appoint-
ed Secretary of the Alabama Claims Com-

time and while their halfjbrother Pitt, was in
the U. S. Senate from Maine.

The Senate in executive session confirmed

Saturday was stormy and a bad day for
traveling, but the Railroads and Steamboats
out of New York were crowded all the same.
Trains out ran full all day, and late in the
afternoon. Some trains were delayed an
hour or more waiting for trains from the
East to arrive with cars. The express trains
were very long and drawn by two engines.
In one case two local trains were run to-
gether, with two engines and 28 or 80 cars.
The Daubury evening train up waited for
the New York train, and was an hour and
a half late in starting. The trains and boat
to-night (Monday) are eipected to bring up
additional crowds of people.

 

The Lawn Party at the Baptist church,
Tuesday evening, was quite well attended.
The grounds surrounding the church were
attractively illuminated, tables were spread
under the trees, the Band, diseour’sed sweet
music, and all the guests seemed - happy.
In the church, for an hour or so, a pleasing
programme of music and recitations by Miss
A Lulu Raymond, the e‘utionist, was ren-
dered in a pleasing manner. Altogether it
was a very enjoyable affair, Ind, welshould
judge, a financialial as well as social suc-
cess.

The Extension.

It is rumored that the extension people are
determined to celebrate the Fourth by run-
ning a train to Wilson’s Point. Judging
from the looks of things down'thc line on
Friday last, we should say that a great deal
of work will have to be done to bring about
such a result. We expect to hear more defi-
nitely before going to press, and will give
the news in a postscript. '

Co. E at Hartford.

ei.‘he Lockwood Rides returned from Hart-
ford last Tuesday night, perfectly delighted
with their excursion, and their reception and
treatment by Co. K of the First Regiment.
When they decided to visit Hartford they
had no thought of any such recoption,and
only asked for the privilege of stacking arms
in the Armory and making their headquar-
ters there. But the generous members of
Co. K took things into their own hands and
received and. entertained our company in a~
right royal manner. In so warmly receiving
and entertaining our Military, Hartford has
won the hearts of all Norwalk.

Hartford a little before noon. They were
received at the depot by'a large committee
and escorted to the Regimental Armory,
where the boys werhivea a chance to clean
up, and were then served a bountiful colla-
tion which all pronounce “a good. square
meal." They were then escorted to theI State

Capitolhafter viewing which they were taken

in tally-ho coaches and carriages and shown
around the city, guides in every carriage
pointingout all objects of interest.

The flag .on the Capitol was displayed all
day in their honor. At 5 o'clock the com-
pany returned to the armory, where Co. K
had assembled, and both companies made a
street parade headed by Colt’s band. A“
o'clock a fine supper was served at the Uni-
ted States hotel, after which the Rifles were
escorted to the depot ,the line of march being
illuminated ky blue lights. They took the
Washington express for home, arriving in
the Borough about 1.30 o'clock. If lNorwalk
soldiers ever have achance to get even with
the Hartford military they will certanly not
be slow to embrace the opportunity.

At a meeting of the Union Manufacturing
Co. on Thursday last, Mr. Adolphus F.
Bishop was elected President of the Com-
pany. This is, we think a very wise and
judicious selection as Mr. Bishop hubeen
thoroughly trained in the mill and under-
stands the practical working of the entire
business from the very first to the last step
in the manufacturing of the goods. He has
secured Mr. James Scofield-of Pascoag, R.I..
who is said to be one of the best manufactur-
ers in the country, as Superintendent of the
Cassimere Department. We are glad to learn
that the felting department is now looking up
and bids fair to be soon very active, in fact,
to run full force and time. Of their Cassi-
rnerc, which they are now turning out, we
are assured that good judges and experts in
the business pronounce them to be of a very
superior grade, and equal to any made by
any other mill in the trade. We congratu-
late the stockholders on this selection of a
President, as we think it means renewed ac-
tivity and another long period of brisk busi-
ness prosperity. '

Jennie Cramer was-found dead, but the State
failed to prove even that she was murdered.
On the other side the defence failed in efiorts
to prove that she drowned herself. How she
came to her death is a mystery that {will
probably never be solved. Last Friday
afternoon the ijudge charged the jury, they
were out about an hour, and brought in their
verdict of not guilty. The case was thor;
oughly tried, at an expense to the State of
some $10,000, and no fault ‘can be found
with the conduct of the trial. Theall-im-
portant testimony necessary to conviction
could not be obtained. But while the law has
released the accused, the public will ever
believe that their shameful conduct before
the death of Jennie Cramer was the direct
cause of her taking off, even if she took her
own life.

promulgated and obeyed at home and abroad

acterized his years of service as Manager and
Vice President of this Society. '
Resolved, That while we adopt this oflicial
memorial, we count it a privilege, as christ-
ians and as citizens, to unite with this~whole
community in bearing testimony to his emi-
nent private worth and public usefulness,
and in weeping with those who weep in his
death, while we rejoice with those who re-
joice in so lung and so beneficial a life so
completely rounded out and then crowned in
so appropriate a consummation—all through
