Charles Julius Guiteau (September 8, 1841 – June 30, 1882) was an American man who assassinated James A. Garfield in 1881. Guiteau believed he had played a major role in Garfield's election victory, for which he should have been rewarded with a consulship. He felt frustrated and offended by the Garfield administration's rejections of his applications to serve in Vienna or Paris to such a degree that he decided to kill Garfield and shot him at the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Station. In January 1882, Guiteau was sentenced to death for the crime and was hanged five months later. I encourage you to read his entire Wikipedia page because it's hilarious.
