The deflection of cathodic rays was the source of inspiration for Thomson.
Thomson observed that a cathode ray bent when in the presence of a magnetic field. After the cathode ray bent the opposite way when the opposite pole of the magnet was placed next to it, Thomson concluded that the cathode ray had a negative charge.
The experimental evidence that Thomson had for Electrons having a negaitive charge was that they were on the outside of the nucleus.
The electron is a fundamental subatomic particle that was identified and assigned the negative charge in 1897 by Sir John Joseph Thomson and his team of British physicists.

J. J. Thomson observed that cathod rays are deflected by an electric field - and from this discovered the electron.
