Off Source | Collectif de presse Meddle, Metal, and Mettle Charles J Guiteau In 1881, silk top hats and bow ties were the height of gentlemanly fashion, monocles were the preferred means of corrective vision, and the suggested greeting on newfangled telephone contraptions was a cheerful "ahoy-hoy". One June Saturday of that year, as the sweaty, swampy summer was just beginning to settle over Washington DC, a gentleman strolled into the US capital’s district jail on the banks of the Anacostia River. The visitor was well-dressed, about 40 years of age, slight of frame, and sunken of cheek. A weedy patch of gray-tinged whiskers sprouted from his chin, and his face was punctuated by a pair of dark, wide-set eyes which were predisposed to shiftiness. He was an attorney named Charles J Guiteau. Deputy Warden Russ eyeballed the man, as deputy wardens do, and explained that visitors were only allowed to tour on particular days. As a young man Guiteau traveled to Oneida, New York to join a Christian commune where his father had once resided.

Misao Fujimura Misao Fujimura Misao Fujimura’s suicide note Misao Fujimura (藤村 操, Fujimura Misao?, July 1886 – May 22, 1903) was a Japanese philosophy student and poet, largely remembered due to his farewell poem. Biography[edit] Fujimura was born in Hokkaidō. Fujimura became distraught when rejected by Tamiko, the eldest daughter of Kikuchi Dairoku, in favor of Tatsukichi Minobe, whom she later married. Poem[edit] The poem he wrote before his suicide read: For all the truth, all creation, all secrets of yore Can be told in an instant, by then they’re no more. Ah, The Unexplainable All worries unsettled, heartache unresolved… All questions unanswered, with death, shall be solved. We already teeter, this sheer cliff so high. To end is to start; to surrender is to know. Despair and depression, together they grow. References[edit]
