The lady that hastened to the assistance of President Garfield when he fell to the floor was Mrs. Sarah V. E. White, in charge of the ladies' waiting room at the depot, and her story to THE POST was as follows: “I was almost the only one in the room after the first shot was fired, and I saw the whole of it. The man that shot the President came in the door from the large waiting-room at the same time the President entered from the B-street door. The President turned past the row of seats and that made his back come toward the man, who was about five feet away. The man fired and that must have been the shot that struck the arm, for the President paid no attention to it or the man. He then fired a second time, and almost immediately the President fell right by the second row of seats. I hurried up to him and lifted up his head. Janitor Smith came right afterwards, rushed out to call the police and then came back. He assisted to raise the President up. He vomited some, and then spoke, I think it was to his son, they said that it was. He said nothing to the man that did the shooting. When they lifted him on the mattress he groaned. The man that fired the pistol walked into the main hall. I have seen him here before, I think, two or three times.”
