Unfortunately, Garfield was assassinated by a disgruntled former federal employee named Charles Guiteau (actually, the president was shot and gravely wounded in early July 1881; he died from an infection and a heart attack, caused by his wounds, in mid-September). Guiteau was later tried, convicted, and sentenced to death; he was subsequently executed.
