Charles J. Guiteau

Charles J. Guiteau was the assassin of President James A. Garfield. Guiteau had actually supported Garfield in the election of 1880 but when he went to Washington seeking a diplomatic post as his reward he was rebuffed. The mentally unstable Guiteau decided to assassinate Garfield and wrote on the morning of the murder that "the president's tragic death was a sad necessity, but it will unite the Republican party and save the Republic. ...I have no ill-will toward the president. His death was a political necessity."
