查爾斯古提奧 (Charles J. Guiteau) 於188172日對加菲爾總統 (President Garfield) 開槍

總統遭到槍擊,但是他還沒有死亡。不會,要殺死加菲爾總統需要更多的「髒手」。古提奧是一個有長久心智疾病病史的律師,他在188172日朝加斐爾總統的背部開槍,他認為是上帝叫他射殺總統的。他也認為他已經殺死總統了,但是事實上並不是他射出去的那顆子彈殺死的。


The president's been shot, but he's not dead...yet. No, it would take much dirtier hands than Charles J. Guiteau's to kill President Garfield. When Guiteau, a lawyer with a history of mental illness, shot Garfield in the back on July 2, 1881, he thought God had told him to shoot the president. He also thought he had killed the president, but it wasn't the bullet that did the job.
