Charles J. Guiteau, a lawyer and disappointed office-seeker as the assassin of Garfield. Guiteau felt that he was owed an appointment to a federal job and after he was refused , he decided to shoot the President. Guiteau shot Garfield in July but the President lingered on until September when he finally succumbed.
His name was Charles J. Guiteau. Garfield did not appoint him to the federal office that he wanted .
