"I AM A STALWART."
Alter tho opening; of tho Court Ed
ward A. Waaricr wub then cttlled. but
did not lcxpond. Jotthua A. Davia was
summoned, but alo did not respond.
Josepn jv. Miarpo, apgiHtnnt train
ninMur of the Balliinoro & Potomac
railroad, was culled and aworn. Jlo
described mintilely tho scono in the
deput. Ho did not eo tho shooting,
hut witncfsed tho arrest and tho mo
cceditiKS immediately succeeding tho
btiooting.
A YOUNO LADY WHO HAW TIIK SHOOTING.
Ella M. Ridgel', a young lady, at
tired in blac k, with her shoulders cov
ered wiili a beaded capo of a pretty
pattern, was next examined. Slio saw
tho shooting. Th President bi gan
fulling, sho said, from ihotimolho first
shot was tired. Sho thouuht it was Ihe
first shot thut struck him. She told
her story well, having it interlarded,
woman like, with many "and thens."
It was noticed that sho was tho first
witness to whom Guiicati apparently
paid any attention. Ho bonl his head
tor a few minutes, so as to catch every
word. Beforo sho finished, bowovor,
be relapsed into his usual indifferont
mood and read a newspaper.
nl'ITEAD AND THE HACKMAN.
'j'bo witness said she beard Guileau,
beforo tho shooting, speak to a back
man. Tho backman asked him if be
should co mo around to tho other door.
Tho prisonor replied : "Ob, no; I will
bo out soon." Sho did not know bow
long this was before tho President ar
rived. Sho gave a very clear atato
mcnt of the movamonU ot tho prisonor
in and about tho depot, sho having
been attracted to bim by his saying to
the hack man that ho was going to tho
cemetery. IIo looked as though bo
was in distress or troublo, sho said,
"and I thought ho was going tboro to
seo a dead friend." After the shooting
she beard bim say ho wanted a letter
which bo bad given to Gen. Shorman.
IIo seemed calmer and less distressed
alter the shooting than beforo ; bis
rotinlonanco was rather palo ; bo did
not run away, but walked. Sho turned
then tol ook at ibo President, and whon
sho next saw tho prisoner ho bad boon
seized. Tho witness had gnno to tbo
depot to soo some friends off. When
Guileau fired tbo shot ho extended
his band straight out; at the second
shot ho held it higher ; she thought
there was 12 or 15 persons in tho room
at the tinio ol the shooting.
Tbo cross examination ot tho witness
was conducted by Mr. Scovillo.
Mr. Robinson asked, however, a low
questions, in answorto wuich sue saJ
that wbon the backman snoko to tne
prisonor tho hackman pointed toward
lUh street; sho did not hear what ho
said.
OTHER TESTIMONY AS TO Till SCENES AT
DEPOT.
Joshua A. Davis, a middle-aged gen-
tloman, in a Pennsylvania railroad uni
form, a gatekeeper at the Baltimore k
Potomac denot, testified to what ne
saw of tho events at the depot on tho
morning of July 2d. Upnncross-cxami.
nation bo said that he was calling tbo
passongers for the limited express
when ho heard the first shot, be only
caught a glimpso of tbo prisonor'a fuce,
as ho was hurried out tlirougn 1110
main wailing room ; the prisoner was
strngglingasil ho wanted to getaway.
Win. S. Crawford, a young man, who
drives a wagon, was called and exam
ined. IIo bad gono to tho dopot to
take some baggago Irom tho Wbito
llouso belonging to in. i-roomnm;
started boforo tbo Trosldent, and ar
rived at the depot about ten minutes
after nino; ho heard tho shots from
the liBiri.Qi'o express office, and wit
nessed the events tbat followed. Uis
naralivo did not vary in dotad In any
material point Irom that of oti'cr wit
nesses, llo was standing that bo could
soo Guileau through tho door, but not
tba President ; he saw him fire the
Bet ond shot ; ho look a slop forward ;
bis bead was bent forward ; his arm
was extended forward ; as soon as he
fired be slopped backwards and lookod
as though he was looking at the object
at which ho firod ; bo then turned
around; tho witness saw Socrotary
11 aino running out ot tlio room, ami
thought at first tho prisoner had been
firing at him ; he did not bear tho
prisonorsay anything. Witnoss thought
bo saw Guileau enough to be able to
rccognizo him again.
OUITEAO CORRECTS A WITNESS.
Mr. Scoville asked how Guileau wore
his hat at the time, and placed the
prisoner's hat on his bead to have the
witneas indicate it. The witnoss said
that Guitcau bad his hat down ovor bis
eyes.
Tbeprisoncrpnt hishatback, smiled
blandly, and said very politely :
"1 don t wear it mat way. aubib

Till ARREST OF O0ITIAO DESCRIBED.
John It. Scott, who Is employed at

ing occurred; turning ho saw Mrs.
White runninj through themain room
ho saw Sir. Parkes holding a man ;
Mr. Parkes said : "this is tho man who
shot the President;" the witness then
seined him; the prisoner said : "I want
to go to tho jail." Iloaflorwards said :
'I have got a letter which 1 want to
send to General Sherman." After,
wards Police Oflleor Koarnoy look
hold of the prisoner, looked across to
witnoss nnd said : "John 1 bavo got
him." Afterwards tho prisonor said:
"I am a stalwart" and "Arthur is now
President of tho United States." On
tho way to police headquarters ho kept
repealing that ho wanted tbo letter
tnkon to Gen. Sherman, llo said also:
"I am a gentleman and a luwyer." At
police headquarters papers were taken
from his pocket and also a revolver.
Hero tho ivory-handled "bull-dog''
pistol takon Irom tho ptisoner wus
shown to tho witness and identified.
Uo handled it a little carelessly, and
tho disirict attorney called out : "Take
caro; it's loaded " Tho pistol then
was shown to tho jurymen, who in
spected it, passing it about verv ecn-
geruny.
Tbo witness examined tho pistol and
said tbero wero four loads in it, two
having been discharged.
Mr. Scott wus subjected to a long
cross-examination. Mr. Koarney, bo
said, had not taken holdot the prisoner
for fivo or six seconds after tbo witness
had soixed him. Tho prisoner did not
appear excited ; ho was very cool ond
deliberate, but had a fierce, sharp look
in ins eyes.
POLICEMAN KEARNEY'S STORY.
Patrick Koarney, tho polito officer
who arrested tho prisoner, wus then
examined. Ho talked with a much of
tho "brogue," und created considerable
amusement. Ho first sow tho prisoner
beforo tbo shooting, talking wub tbo
hackmon, who wero "bueking for a
job," as tho witness said, llo described
tho arrival of President Garfield und
Secretary Blaino; they paused at tho
i) street, entrance to ask bim (Uio wit
ness) tho time; and then disappeared
in tho depot; he (tho witness) turned
to go np bth street; beard the shots,
and turned about; tho prisoner ran
into him at tho B street door and tho
witness put him under arrest ; themun
struggling, ho puilod his club to hit
him, but "thought a minuto of tbo
grand jury, not knowing what tho
man bud done," and instead ol bitting
bim, gnvo bim a good shaking; somo
body afterwards caught hold of tho
prisoner nnd said "I arrest you," but
witness having ulreaily secured him
paid no attention ; Parkes, tho ticket
agent, ho said, madoarun and a grasp
ai mo ir.nn.
"I AM A STALWART."
When witness canto into tho room
with Guileau, Scott catno in from tbo
platform and caught tho prisoner by
tbo wrist, making Guitcau complain
mat ins wrist would be broken. Uui
leau, looking around, said, "I will go to
Jail lor it; Arthur is President, and 1
am a stalwart." Tbo witness described
tho passago from tbo depot to police
beailtiuarters, ho (tho witness) said
"This man has shot Iho President of
tho United Stalos." Detective Aclon
suid,"A ro you giving us tally, Kearney ?
"I sca'-Pio. When the papers bad
been taken Irom too prisoner, Lieut.
Eckloff asked if ho had anything to
say, and bo said "No, tho papers would
speak for themselves." When asked
his namo tho prisoner said, "Charles
Guitcau, of Illinois, a theologian nnd
a lawyer." Afterwards, wben they
wero searching him, he said : "Take
your timo; you have plenty ol timoto
search mo.
With much gusto tho witness, after
describing the scene in tbo police ollice,
tho searching ot tbo prisoner said
"Detective Mclilt'resb opened tho way.
1 took bold ot Ins' arm. Jle(Mchllitsb)
opened tbo cell door, and I put him
in." Being askod by Mr. Scovillo it
Mr. Parkes had not seized the prisonor,
tho witness said: "Noverdid bo in my
presence, so help mo God, put bunds
on bim." Alterwards tho witness,
speaking of Mr. ParkcB, said: "Ho
madoa rush at him (tho prisoner) and
said : "I'll soizo the assassin." After
witness heard tho struggle at the B
stroet door, tho latter mado no resist
ance; he was very willing to go ; Gui
tcau expressed feats of boing hurt
whilo on tho way to polico headquar
ters. "Ho had a paper in bis baud,"
said the witness, "but it had no writ
ing on it, and I took it as a bluff." llo
insistod on the lettor being sent to
Gen. Sherman ; a man named Lowry
had takon tho lettor Irom tho prisoner,
and tho witnoss told him to tuko it to
Major Brock.
The district attorney, rising, said be
had tho letter.
GUITEAU COMPLIMENTS THE WITNESS.
Tbo witness, continuing, rnid ho did
not notico anything peculiar about tbo
appearance ol Iho prisoner or bis man
ner ; bo was not excited.
Here Guileau interrupted the exami
nation and said: "Will your honor
allow mo to cxamino this witness a
moment ? Ho comes nearer llin truth
than any witness who has been on tho
stand."
"You will have to examino bim
through your rrnnsel," snid tho court.
Mr. Scovillo and Guileau put ineir
heads togolhcr and whispered for a
fow minutes, when Mr. Scov llo arose
and asked if ho (tho witness) was ex
cited when bo mado tho arrest. Ho
was not excited, tho witness said, for
he did not then know what hnd bap
poncd.
OUITEAU'S OWH ACCOUNT OF Ills ARREST.
Iloro followod a little colloquy be
tween Guileau and Kearnoy.
"As a matter of fact," said Iho
prisoner, "1 was Blanding still whon
the officer seized mo by tho wrist.
I bad just got my pistol put up wbon
ho seized mo, simulianooiisly. I told
iho officer that 1 wanted to go to jnil
at once. I mado no resistance at all."
"You went quietly along," said Mr.
Koarney, "and stood by mo at polico
headquarters. Isn't that so?"
"Yes, sir, that is so," said tho pris
oner. Kearney was then excusod from the
stnnd.
EXAMINATION OF MACKMEM.
John Taylor, a colored hackman,
was called to tho stand, and testified
that A week beforo tho shooting'iuileau
was at lb depot at tbo timo the
President was expected to go away ;
bo engaged tbe witness' back to take
him to Bonning's station.
Mr. Scoville confused the witness
considerably in cross-examination as
to how tho witnoss know it was Gui
tcau. Aquilli Barton, another colorod
hackman, was examined. He saw tho
prisoner it Ihe Baltimore A Pototnao
dopot first about half-past 8 o'clock;
Guileau cam along and asked for
Taylor; witness said Taylor wasn't

hour and suiil to witness, "I want to
make a flno bargain "with you." lie
then said that ho wanted to bo luken to
tho Congressional Comctery, and said
Taylor had offered to do it for 82; ho
said ho would not tuy long, and wit
ness olferod to do it for Iho sumo.
Witness observed tho prisoner very
closely and kept sight of bim because
ho was afraid somo ono would buck'
him away from him." Guitcau went
into tbo depot ; beard tlio shots inside ;
rushed in and saw tho President lying

to witness not to get txcited.

Mr. Scoville.
"Not at all, 1 wasn't; but 1 was

nriTEAf's VISITS TO THE 8TATE
DKrAllTMENT.
Sevellon A. Brown, chief clerk ol
tbo Stato department, was next exam
ined. Ho had seen tbo prisoner very
often ; ho had como almost daily to the
Stuto department doting March, April
and May; bis visits were so frequent
that ho (witness) bad instructed the
messengers not to tuko his cards to Iho
Secretary ; ho mado his npiic&runco
shortly alter tho 4 lb of Mulch ; bo
gavo iho witness a copy of his speech,
and said ho bad mado application for
tho Austrian mission; at ono timo ho
applied for permission to go to tho li.
hrary and consult bonks, but witness
declined lo grant it ; could not remem
ber when hm visits ueu.wci ; bo after
wards changed bis application from
tbo Austrian mission to tbo Consulship
nt Puris ; at ono timo ho left a pencil
memorandum with tbo witness asking
permission In withdraw tlio speech ho
had filed ; witness was not at tbo do
pot, but saw tho President at theWhilo
llouso whon ho wus brought buck
from tho depot.
Mr. Drown wus subjected lo a very
long cross -examination. Guitcau bud,
ho said, introduced himself; ho spnko of
having iufluenco winch bo could com
mund, and mentioned Senator Lngnn;
no ono ever cumo to recommend Inm,
and bo never brought with him any
letter of recommendation ; ho (witness)
had not treated the application with
fitvor ; bo wasquilo sure thut tbo place
ho applied lor was beyond his reach ;
bo did not look upon bim as exactly
tho kind of man lor iho place; ho hud
given tho directions to cxcludo his
curds, becausu ho thought it not worth
tho Secretary's whilo to seo bim so
often ; ho did not want to givo him
any excuso to como to the department,
so ho hnd refused bis request for per
mission to go to tho library.
"if ho had como there with a leltef
from General Logan," aked Mr. Sco
villo, "or any other prominent man,
would bo havo been received with uny
more consideration ?"
"1 don'l think ho would, sir."
"Or half a dozen prominent public
men ?"
"1 think not, Bir."
"That would bavo mado no differ
ence?"
' I think not, sir."
Tho Secretary ol Slato had never
given him any instructions not to send
bim Guileuu'scards; bad never noticed
anything peculiar about bis appear
atico; bo Bccmcd to bo a nervous indi

straight in tho eye.
Hero tnnteau dropped Ins nowspa-

said: "I looked you in tho oyo, Mr.

Tho witness, continuing, suid ho bad
never noticed anything wild in his
appearance.

With this help tho district attorney

Tho last lettor was dated Mnv 2,'Jd
and wus tho ono in which Guitcau
spoko of Mr. Blaino us a vindictive
in. In reading tho prediction tbnt
t.onoral barlield would como to grief,
tbo prisoner interrupted and suid :
"I olilical griel, 1 meant.
"That's all I could find on tho files."
suid Mr. Brown, when tho letters had
been read.
"That's all I ever wrote," said Gui
tcau Quickly.
Mr Cork hill submitted other letters
written by Guiteau to Mr. Brown,
simply for tbo purpose of identifying
tho handwriting.
"That is all correct," said Guileau,
"1 rccognizo thorn every one."
Tho witness said everybody was re
ceived courteously at tho Whito llouso.
"Cordially you may say," interrupt
ed tbo prisoner.
Mr. Scoville, speaking of letters ro
coived by Ibo President at Mentor.
from Guiloau, said ho did not liko to
disturb tbo President's fumily lo get
them.
"They aro unimportant," said Gui
tcau, "I can givo the snbstancoof them
if necessar."
Mr. Brown testified tbat all tbo Into

hurriedly placed in boxes, sealed np
nnd deposited in tho departments for

to marry a ludy ol grout wealth. Tbo
prisoner hero interposed : "That is

"Wo don't want any d d foolish

much obliged for those bracelets; they
just suit me. Say to Mr. Williams 1

he jumped into tho von in a more

TIIK ASSASSINS 0PKR1SG
SPEECH.
At tho opening of tho caso, Guiteau
offered to read in Court an address,
but ho was not permitted. Tho full
text ot the document is suhtanlially as
follows :
Tho spoocb which Guileau prepared
for delivery in Court savs ho is charged
with murdering Garfield. Nothing
can bo more absurd, becanso Garfield
died ol mulpractico, (jarheld was a
good man, but a weak politician. Bo
ing President, bo was in a position to
do vast injury to tho Republic, and
was doing it by tho unwiso use of pat
ronage, and tho Lord and himself took
tho responsibility of removing him.
His duty to tho Lord and to the
Amoricitn peopio ovcrcanio bis personal
feelings toward Garfield and ho sought
to remove him. Not being a marks
man, Garfield wits not finally shot;
but incompetent physicinns finished
tho work, and they, not himself, aro
responsible for Gariiold's death.
Guileau then speaks of tho breach
in tbo Republican party and bis resolve
lo removo tho President, and claims
tbat Deity ordered him to firo tbo shot.
Ho also refers to his work on theology,
insanity in his family, his married life
and his lifo in prison, and appeals lo
tnoso wnoin ho says ho has put in po
sition to send bim money for defense.
Tbo Deity seems well-disposed to fu
tber it, thus fur, and I expect lie will
continue to father it to tho end. It is
not likely Ho will nllow mo to como
to grief for obeying Him. How do
you know it wus tbo Deity ? I wus
so certain of it, I put my life on it, and
I undorlaka touy tbo Deity is actively
engaged in my defense, I am confident
Ho will cbock ninto tho wise beads on
Ibis prosecution. I beg they go slow ;
they cannot afford to get tho Deity
down on them. "Ho uttered His
voice," says tho Psalmist, "uiid the
earth melted." This is the God whom
I served when I sought to removo tho
President, and IIo is hound to t:.lto
euro of mc. Recently a Washington
newspaper lithographed a crumped
piece of paper 1 bad carried in my
vest pocket a week under tho title of
"l.uiteuus Pica." It was written
when 1 bad tho material, at odd times.
and I could hardly read it myself, and
so told tlio gentleman 1 travo it to :
but ho thought bo could read it and
took it, as bo was in bnstc. 1 next
beard of it as lithographed. Owing to
circumstances beyond my control, I
havo boon forcod to ask your Honor
to assign mo counsel and furnish mo
witnesses. I formerly practiced in
Now York and Chicago. In 1ST" I
lelt a good practice in Chicago and
went out lecturing, but I had small
success. I had tdeus, but no reputa
tion. Scovillo is developing Iho theory
d' hereditary insanity, which may havo
an important bearing on this case.
Insanity runs in my family, ily la
ther had two Bisters and a nephow and
nioco in an insioo a'sylum. Ho, him
self, was a monomaniac for twenty-five
years in the Oneida Community. IIo
could so no evil in that concern and
no good out of it. llo thought Noyes
a greater mun than tbo Lord Jesus
Christ. Uu was rational enough out
sido of Iho community idea. On that
bo was a lunatic, llo would get greatly
excited in discussing that and look and
n t liko a wild man. All this timo bo
was a good business mun. Ho was
cashier of a bank, and attended to bis
duties promptly and faithfully. It was
owing to bis fanaticism and insanity
thut 1 got into tbo Oneida Community
when a boy. Once under N ores' influ
enco it was impossible to got nwoy,
and 1 lingered tboro in tho greatest
distress six long weary years. I was
in Iho Community from 1SO0 to lSGfj.
Sinco then I bavo known and cured
nothing for them. Ono Smith, whom
1 know there, bus taken upon himself
to writo on this caRt', and among other
silly and unimportant statements ho
says : '1 was in tbo habit of connect
ing my name with tho words 'premier
to England,' " ota. Thoso statements
aro false. My father was a frequent
visitor ot tbo Community ; but never
resided thoro. Ho wanted to go, but
my step mother opposed it. 1 wish
this Oneida Community business to
pass into oblivion.. My ex wile, bus

am a patriot. To-day I suffer in bonds
as a patriot. Washington was a pa
triot. Grant was a patriot. Washing
ton led the armies; of tho Revolution
through eight years of bloody war to
victory and glory and tbo nation is
happy and prosperous. They raised
tho old war cry, "Rally 'Round tho
King, Boys; Rally 'Round tbo l'lag,"
nnd thousands of tbo choicest Bons of
tho Republic went forth to battle, to
Vlciuiv u. m Uv,i!,, M'Mt(iifin

In war won tbe admiration of man

patriot, because I had tbo inspiration
und nerco to nnito a great political
parly lo tho end that tho nation might
bo saved from another desolating war.
I do not pretend Iho war wus immedi
ate, but I do say, emphatically, that
the bitterness in tho Republican parly
last Spring, was deepening and deep,
oning, hour by hour, and that within
two or thrco years, or less, tho nation
would have been in civil war. In tho
presenco of dealh all hearts wero
hushed, all contention ceased. For
weeks and weeks the heart and brain
of tho nation centred on tho Biek man
at tho Whito llouso. At last be went
tbo way ol all Iho flesh, and tho nation
was a bouso of mourning. To say 1

I expressed my detestation of Noyes.
Ism then. To-day, John H. Noycs,

an American fugitive on British soil.
Noyes is a cold-blooded sconndrol. lie

I, liko most of tbo men in that com
munity was practically a Shaker.
1 bavo been in jail sinco July 2d, and
huve borne my confinement patiently,
knowing my vindication would come.
Twico havo I been shot at, and come

tend to bo horrified oot of their senses
by tho Into President's romoval, and
want nothing to do with mo. Thoy
say 1 am "a dastardly assassin. Tho
word "assassin" grates on my mind,
and yet somo peopio delight In using it.
Why am I an assassin any moro than
a man who shot at another during tho
w urP A thousand bravo boys on both
sides wero shot dead during tho war,
but no ono thinks of talking about
assossination. Thoro was homicide.
A man was killed ; but in my case tbo
doctors killed tho lato President, and
not me. So tbero is not even homicide
in this caso. Tbo President was sim
ply shot and wounded by an insane
mun. 1 ho man was msano in tbo law
because it was God's act and not his.
Tbero is not tbo first clement of mur
der in Ibis case. There is no homicide
in this caso und, therefore, no malice
in tho law. Admitting that tho Into
President died from tho shot, which I
deny as a matter of fact, still the cir
cumstances allending tho shooting liq-
uidulo tho presumption of malico cither
in law or in luct. Jieretoloro, politi
cal grievances bavo been adjusted by
war, or ballots. Had Jefferson Davis
and a dozen or two of his co trttitors

SILVER DOLLARS.
Immediately upon tho passago of
tho bill requiring tho mints to coin two
millions ot silver dollars per month, a
huo and cry was raised that thoy
would not circulate, people would not
huvo them, businoss mun would havo
no place to keep them, bunks would
not tako them, and the Government
could not supply rooms enough to
safely bold them. Bankers and brok
ers and governmental officials did
mako ovory effort to disgrace thorn and
prevent their circulation, and millions
were piled up in tho federal treasury
vaults and in tho mints. But people
would bavo thorn, and largely begun to
rcluso the filthy, disease carrying small
notes (sbinplaslers) that aro absolutely
mostly unlit for any decent person to
handle. Tho Banks begun to bo glad
10 got tho silver dollars, tbo great
body of tbo peopio wero anxious for
tbcin, and all who laid np sums of
money carefully selected thoso dollars,
Tbo result is that tho Government has
been literally run out ol them and has
scarcely enough on hand to redeem

The federal treasury has bcon com
pelled to step paying them out until
