THE ASSASSIN OF PRESIDENT JAMES A. GARFIELD: CHARLES GUITEAU (SEPTEMBER 8, 1841 TO JUNE 30, 1882)

On this date, June 30, 1882, Charles J. Guiteau was executed by hanging for the assassination of the 20th President of the U.S.A, James A. Garfield on July 2, 1881.  Guiteau was executed less than a year after the assassination and after 10 months after the President died on September 19, 1881. What a swift and sure execution! Most important of all, he is guilty beyond any doubt.
