Washington - The Capitol, 1844. Creator: Unknown

Washington - The Capitol, 1844. View of the Capitol Building in Washington DC, USA. A most disgraceful scene took place on the floor of the House of Representatives to-day...one William S. Moore, a cripple, who has been here for several weeks to obtain a claim from Government, attempted to intrude within the house, was prevented, and discharged a pistol at Mr. McCauslin, of Ohio, a member. The ball missed the mark of the would-be assassin, and wounded an officer of the Capitol. Moore was taken into custody. The whole affair was referred to a committee of five for investigation, with instructions to report a bill for the punishment of offences committed within the house. Moore was retained in custody of the Sergeant-at-Arms of the house. The officer is not mortally wounded. The ball entered the thigh. His name is John L. Whirt. From " Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I
