BUTLER CITIZEN JOHN H. L wT CTIME6LEY, PROP'RS, Entered at the Postoffice at Butler as second-classs matter. THANKSGIVIG —a wintery day here. GUITEAU trial—will not end this week. PRESIDENT ARTHUR will occupy the White House this week for the first. THE official figures make the popu lation of the United States at the last census 50,155,783. COMMUNICATIONS and much other matter are crowded out this week in order to give all possible of the Gui teac trial. THERE will be ten Readjuster negroes in the Virginia House of Delegates and three in the Senate. When the people of "Ole Virginy" voluntarily send thir teen colored men to the Legislature, times have, indeed, changed. BEECHER in his Thanksgiving day sermon in New York alluded to the trial of Guiteau and said "it looked like a fight between an imbecile Judge at one end of the'bench and a vagrant fool at the other, like an imbecile court trying to find a wicked man insane." THE last number of that exciting publication, called the " Legislative Record ," came to hand last week and informed us that the Legislature had adjourned in June last. There is no greater fraud practiced in this State thau this same " Legislative Record" business. THE death of Mr. Wilson, one of the newly elected County Commission era, will create a vacancy in the board aftet the first Monday in January next. Of course, being no vacancy un til then no appointment can be made until then. The appointment is made by the court and for the whole term— three years. BUTLER, Lawrence and Mercer coun ty cases appealed to the Siyjreme Court will hereafter have to be argued in Philadelphia, more than doubling the costs to the litigants. Poor people will suffer by this arrangement. Only gentlemen of wealth will feel like in curring the extra cost that will now be entailed on them.— Com.-Gazette. ON our first, or outside page this week, will be found the close of the first week's proceedings in the Guiteau trial, and on the second, or inside page, all the material proceedings of the second or 1 ist week. We have given it in order, day by day, that our read ers might have as connected on account of the trial as possible WE publish elsewhere a call for a county convention, to be held here De cember 6th, for the purpose of takiDg steps towards organizing to secure the nomination next year, by all parties, of candidates for Assembly who will pledge themselves to support the joint resolution submitting the Prohibition amendment to the Constitution to a vote of the people. This call is signed by a number of leading citizens, and the convention will no doubt be largely attended.— Mercer Dixpatch, Nov. 25. To the above call we notice tbe names of the Hons. S. H. Miller, E. W. Jack son, J. A. Str&nahau and other promi nent citizens, of Mercer county. "CRANK," is the present fashionable name given to persons supposed to be of unbound mind. Literally it means, "any bend, turn or winding, as tbe cranks of the body," or "the cranks of the law." If interpreted as a substi tute for crazy or insane, is there not danger of there becoming a great many "cranks ?" Guiteau, and all others like him who are now practicing with the pistol on their fellow men, are termed "cranks," and it looks as if their sport was becoming contageous— as much perhaps from the mildness of tbe term as used, as anything else. HON. S. H. MILLER, member in Congress for this district, is now at Washington, to enter upon bis duties as a Representative in the 47th Con gress. That body meets on next Mon day, December 5. A speaker and clerk are to be elected, whom, if Re publican, will change all the other of fices of the House. Although the Re publican majority is small yet we look for a change in the officers of tbe House. The proceedings in Congress at the coming session will probably be very important and we will endeavor to keep our readers advised ofthe same. SOME of Guiteau's speeches to the the court trying him look a little smart for an insane man. For in stance, on one day last week when his proper name was referred to by Mr. Scoville as being, in part, "Julius," Guiteau repudiated that part as tieing too suggestive of the negro race, or a name too frequent among colored men. He forgot that there was a colored man on bis jury, and the next morning be asked leave of tbe court to explain that he meaot no disrespect to the col ored race Tbe explanation seemed intended to set himself right with the colored juryman. TUB Union Coal . C., Monday, Nov. 21. The second week of the (iuiteau trial was this morning. The scenes around the oourt house, prior to | the opening of court, and while tho I trial was in progress, were of the most disgraceful character. There was a much greater demand for admission to the court room than usual. The attempt made on Saturday last to kill the pris oner naturally increased the cariosity to see him, aud this curiosity was wbetted by the anticipation that (iui teau would have something to say on tho subject. The prisoner and the jury were brought ino court soon after Judge Cox had taken his seat upon the bench. It was well understood that Leigh Robinson, Esq , assigned to the defense by the court, would to-day (eel compelled to ask the court to relieve him from further duties in connection with the tritj.l. The differences between Mr. Scoville aud M* Robiqsoß r>a'le it imperative that the latter should quit the case. At the opening of the court Mr. Robinson addressed the judge and informed him of the differences be tween himself and Mr. Scoville, which in M r - Robinson's opinion warranted him in asking the cotjrt tq relieve him from further service in the cass. Air. Robinson made quiLe a long speech. It was delivered in $ very grandilo quent and impressive manner a i«d seemed to make arj impression upon (iuiteau, who exclaimed that it was 'A very able speech,' with (he most of which he agreed. Til 4 ? assassin added that be sympathized with the efforts of Robinson to show ma'practice as the cause of death.- Mf- Scoville, of course, replied to the charge made sgninst him by Ifbbinson. Mr. Robinson then left the court room. As he was walking toward the door, Mr. J. W. Guiteau stepped up to him and shook him warmly by the hand. YESTERDAY'S WITNESSE*. The first witness examined was Jos. R. Rarnes, Surgeon-General of the United States army, who testified that he bad in dressing President Garfield's wound froa, t!,e I ol July to the 7th of September ; that ho wau present at the autopsy ; an 1 that the wound was mortal and was the cause of Mr. Garfield's death.' Substantially the su.ine testimony was given by Dr. Jos R. Woodward, Surgeon of United States Artn v. Dr. J). S. Lamb, acting surgeon United State* Army, testified that he had made the autopsy ; that iha gun shot wound was the cause of the death; that he had examined the records, aud had found no case of an injury to the same extent, in which the man had re (•oyered ;it was a mortal wound. Wit ness pre«f>i}tp(J the flattened bullet, tak ee from the body, and jt \y*s exhibited to the Court and jgry. Neitne* of thew witnesses was cross-examined. TUB CASE ot/isqi) THE STATE. The District Attorney • that tbe prosecution bad closed its • ease, except that be wished it to go on t I the reord that Klberon wa* in AJou j mouth county, in tbe Stale of \<-w I Jersey; and that the railroad depot - j where President Garfield was shot was • !on a public reservation belonging to f the 1" oiled States. These facts were I admitted by Mr. Scovillc. Mr. Scoville then suggested that the prisoner should be board in |*u own " behalf at this stage ol the proceedings. ; The court assented. The Prisoner (without leaving bis seat). 'I was not aware that 1 was expected to speak this morning. (To Mr. Scovillc, who wbispred to him to ' stand up). I will not stand up. lam ■ not afraid to, however, but I have only . gut a moment to upca!,. Jdo not care to say anything more than wu pijlj lisbed in my address last Monday after ' noon in tbe Evening Star. That pa per was addressed to your llon>T and i the public ; and I presume that most | of the jurymen have beard it. J have ino set speech to make. So long as I . appear, in part, an my own counsel I the best way is for me to make cor ! rections as tbe ease proceeds, just as I ' have done during tbo last three or | four days. I meant no discourtesy to I anybody in tbe case. 1 only want to I get at the facts. If somebody say a . j that I owe him *2O and it is not true; i J will dejy it on tbe spot, simulta neously with tbe false charge, and j that as tbe caw- proceeds. Of course, j I will go on tbe stand at i{><- pJMJx'r . | time and be examined and cross-exam* : ined. My idea is, however, to correct a misstatement while it is hot, and at the moment the statement is made; and that dispou:i: of it instead of wait ing a number of weeks till tbe matter is digested and misunderstood. A great deal of the bad feeling in this ; matter has come from enforced silence, | or from the suppression of my papers. I think that the true way is to inter ject statements as ilia wpji; proceeds. I have no set speech to make I much obliged to you, however, and my counsel for the courtesy of the in vita • tion. SCOVII.t.E'S OI'ENINU. Mr. Scoville then proceeded with his address to tbe jut-y, in a plain, easy, matter of fact style, and wiibjyt the slighest effort at oratory or sensationa lism. He criticised tbe course of the District Attorney in presenting the testimony so mueh in detail. Tbe simple <|uestions in the ease were whether 'he prisoner bad committed the act, whieh was not denied, and whet er he was, at tbe time, in sueh condition of mind as that he should be held responsible for the act. On this point there would be a great deal of c*jwrt, and therefore contradictory testimony 'J'fie jury should note most carefully tbe witnesses, hear their testimony, see bow iuer stand examination and cross-examina tion, arid then come to the best conclu sions they could arrive at. The ditli- would come wbeu the jury came to weigh the evidence on both sides. The jury should then cousider that the experts ou the part of the Government ; are beinar paid SIOO to S2OO a day, and that even these scientific men have not j reached that height beyond passion and feeling and love of money as that ; those things could have no influence | whatever on their feelings or their judgments. On the other hand, not a single expert witness for the defence j would be paid, and their testimony, if j in favor of the prisouer, would expose them to condemnation aud ostracism : iu the community where he lived. , These were things to be taken into j consideration in weighing the expert testimony. The popular feeling against j the prisoner had been manifested in j three separate attacks upoD his life, the j last of them was being commended by the newspapers all over the country. At this stage of his address, Mr, Scoville asked that the case should go over till to-morrow, and it was so or dered. THE ASSASSIN'S FAMILY HISTORY DUG UP JHJR THREE GENERATIONS. WASHINGTON, Tuesday, Nov. 22. From a sensational point of view to day's proceedings in the (Juiteau trial were the least interesting of any sine the assassin was arraigned in court. Lawyer Scjyille occupied the day in addressing the jury. He stands direct ly in front of the jury box, with his back to the court, and talks to the twelve men as though they were old time friends, whom he was advising about the planting of crops or the best manner of obtaining a fat contract un der the District Government. Thanks to Marshal Henry there was not a repetition of yesterday's disgraceful scenes in and about the Court room. Officers kept the clamorous mob away from the private entrances to the court, Rut] gs sqqi) £}s the room was filled no more persons were allowed to enter. Guiteau arrived at the building au hour before court was opened. There was a crowd waiting to hoot him on his passage from the van to the court room. He was taken up sf.airs ami giyen breakfast before tlje Judge arrived. At ten o'clock, he *i as led into the court room. He carried with him the morning newspapers in one of his handcuffed bands. He lean ed back in his cluir shieldpd from dan ger behind by the brawny shoulders of tfcrpe officers, and protected in front by a phalanx of a. store on more of report ers. For nearly two hours, he pre served a decorous silence. He fre quently pretended to read, but not a iyord ut-fpred by Mr. Scoville fell un heeded upon i;io He seemed pleased as his counsel slowly unravel ed the web of his argument intended to convince the jury that the prisoner was insane. Mr. Scoville dug up the family antecedents of the assassin, showing that insanity had prevailed among his relatives. To convince the jury of the disordered intellect of his client, Mr. Scoville described in a ludicrous manner the way in which (juiteau, after his admission to the bar in Ctiicagu. a few suits to collect bad debts. Guiteau Magetfcd in his seat, and at last ex .daiined: 'My suits were always creditably con victed I never had the reputation of being a tuoi.' A description of an idiotic made by Guiteau before a Chicago jury in a case where Charley Reed was the Prosecuting Attorney incensed the assassin beyond description. Jfe de clared that his counsel wa*t speaking falsehoods. Once or twice Guiteau politely trailed Mr. Scoville a liar. Af ter the recess until court adjourned, Guiteau's interruptions were frequent aud afforded great amusement to the judieiwp. Later on, W|ien refer red to certain letters which haij between the prisoner and a lady who expresses $ willingness to marry him, (iuiteau became violently angry, de nounced .Mr Scoville as a |iar, and was only repressed by sheer force. District Attorney Corkhill interposed an objection to Mr. Swovi|le introduc ing certain letters written by tho pm* oner during his early life, but the ob jection was overruled and the letters used. At several points in his address Mr. ficoyillp made strong bits and was loudly applauded l/y the audience, es pecially when the District asxirtcd that (Juiteau was playing a carefully prepared part, and Mr. Sco ville answered that he would reply to that insinuation in his closing remarks to the jury. Finally, at 3 o'clock, Mr. Scoville ytill occupying the floor, it being evi dent that. \,u fould not conclude his speech, the Court adjourned tjlj to : morrow. Just before leaving the room Clui teau explained that he had been in formed that Scoville had sent all his letters to that lady. He therefore wished to recall the unjust language he had applied to that gentleman. TESTIMONY IN THE DEFENSE OF U UITF.AI . WASHINGTON, Wednesday Novem ber ~j:i. —The attendance at the Crimi nal Court this morning wa/j sensibly diminished on account of the rain storm. While (Juiteau was taking his second breakfast at City Mall he ex pressed dissatisfaction at the release of Jo/ies upon bail. When the Court wis opened Mt ScoyiMe made a formal re quest for the pa pen, tauau f*.of]) (Juiteau at the time of bis arrest, stating that they were material evidence for the de fense, anil since the prosecution hail not needed them he could see no reason why they t-bould be withheld. The District Attorney offered to furnish copies of the papers, but Mr. Scoville insisted upon his rights in the matter, and asked for the originals. OLITEAU RESUMES If IS ANTICS. Pending - bad dropped it from bis name. His preju- dice was begotten twenty years ago. He meant no disrespect to any person or any race particularly not to the col ored race, for they were more highly thought ot than the white race nowa days. CONTINUED INSANE DEMONSTRATIONS. Mr. Scoville continued bv reading Guiteau's letters. Scoville read a let ter written by Guiteau to his father, in which he spoke of having gotten into some trouble, and in which he asked for money. Guiteau explained the letter, saying 'One of my clients, a miserable little whelp, had me arrested on account of a little difference of twenty dollars be tween us. As soon as the District At torney's attention was called to the matter I was released. I never ought to have been arrested, but 1 got into the papers and did me a good deal of harm. I bad been on the theology business I some time, and as usual, was short of i money. That is all there was in that.' As the reading of the letter was con cluded. Guiteau again interrupted, saying: 'I never got much favor front my father. He got down on me be cause I left the Onedia community. We never, after that, agreed on that miserable, stinking Community busi ness. I'm mad every time 1 think of it. H fcept me out of" ihe fellowship of my father up to the time of his death.' Mr. Scoville, resuming, alluded to Guiteau's career as a politician, and drew the conclusion his intellect was deficient. This view aroused the onpr at once, and he began a series of interruptions, protesting against Seo ville's conclusions as false. When ref erence was made to his running around from one committee room to another seeking to be employed as a campaigu speaker aud his failure to obtain recog nition was mentioned, Guiteau shout ed eagerly, 'Twasn't because I had nQ ability, but 1 was not Known. I had ideas bnt not reputation. They want ed big guns like Gen. Grant and Sena tor Conkling, men who would draw.' AS A HUMORIST. Then, in direct contradiction of his counsel's to the juty yes terday, that Guiteau was a man who never made a joke in his life, he looked up with an amused smile and added, 'I presume I'd draw now.' This pro voked gpnera! laughter, which was promptly suppressed by the Judge, who struggled to disguise the smile upon 13is own features. Mr. Scoville coutinued ou the saiqc line, and criti? eiscd Guiteau's speech entitled 'Gar field vs. IJancock.' It was, he said, a mere jumble of ideas collected from the and from the ideas of otheri. one but a craay man would have imagined, as Guiteau did, this speech possessed any merit. Gui teau here became more and more rest less, and iu the most exciting manner yet shown by him shouted tq Mr. Scoville, 'I object to your theory on that score, and when you try to make out I'm a fool I,m down on you I want you to tell the truth, but you needn't try to make me out a fool. 1 say Deity inspired my act and He will ta£e caro of it. I want the truth and that's all thece is about U. TIRING OF THE SHOW. Colonel Corkhill arose to protest against the interruptions of the prison er, übpn Ot|iieaq wayed h' a hand to him patronizingly and said, 'lt is not necessary to make any remarks, Col onel: just let the matter drop.' AJr. Scoyilje w$ 3 W'l'ing agree to any measures the District Attorney might suggest to restrain the prisoner. Mr. Davidge desired to suggest a way to prevent outbreaks. He attrib uted them entirely to Mr. Scoville's course in commenting upon tho evi dence already submitted and his at tempt to argue from it a mental infir mity on the part of the prisoner. Guiteau listened' intently,and,striking his clenched hand upon the table in front of him, exclaimed: 'I agree with that all t|iroqgh, and I desire to thank t' e prosecution, every one of them, for the liberal spirit they have shown lue. I think Colonel Corkhill made a ftno opening. There wasn't any bit terness at all in his speech, and I com mend him for it.' (Juiteau continued to interject his observations upon Scoville's theory that lie (Guiteau) was deficient in iu lellect, ami protested that he would ijot flJlow his counsel to make hiin out a fool a fey njif4Utcs (Jijitcau subsided, and promised the Court that lie would keep quiet. .Mr. Scoville thon concluded his opening address without further inter ruption or incident At the request of the District Attorney the witnesses for the defense was excludai from the court rqom, with the exception of Mrs Sco ville. 'fhe prosecution, and came to the conclusion that he was insane His insanity was emotional, rather than in tellectual, There appeared to be an impairment of judgment, but not much if anv impairment of intellect, lie told his friends Guiteau ought to be seclud ed. The witness treated Guiteau's father, but did not consider him insane. The court here took a recess. X 4S .J J ECTI IlKll. After recess the witness again took the fctand. lie did not see Guileau after he had run away from Scoville's house, at Beaker Lake, Wisconsin. The prisoner—'l returned to Chicago and opened a law oflice. I did not run away.' I . Unicn, of Boston, testified to hiring Guiteau Investigate. Mall j His bills proclaimed, 'Do not fail to hear Hon. Charles J. (JuiUau, the Little Giant from the West. He will show that two-third* of the race are going down to preditlon.' The prisoner—'That is a liberal es timate.' [ Laughter.] Witness—'There were about 50 | er sons at the lecture. At the end of half an hour the lecturer evidently be-! came disgusted with himself and left in a great hurry.' 'the prisoner—'I was disgusted at the audience.' I Witness—'After be had gone the audience agreed the man was crazy. Guiteau came next day and asked for the hall again. He said he was not crazy hut inspired, that G)d was his father and direct councellor, and he B&i Ihe did nothing wrong. He said, in a serious manner, that he belonged to the firm of Jesus Christ and Com pany. He was sure the witness was doomed. [Laughter.] He said he kn '\v the way to heaven and hell, and if witness did do what he told him he would go to heaven; if not, to hell. Question by Mr. Pavidge—Suppose at the time r * the lecture Guiteau had struck you, would you have struck him back ? Answer—No. The prisoner—l don't st r ike persons. Witness said he appeared as a wit ness. impelled by reading Scoxille's ap p?al for witnesses. JUMPING HIB BOARD. Marv S. Laskmead, of Washington, stated thf prisoner had boarded at her house in March, 1881. The only rea son she knew for his leaving was he did not pay his board. The prisoner—l was there a month. I paid tive dollars and I owe her twen ty dollars. They are very nice ladies. That is all there is about it. Tell everybody that if you want to. Mr. Scoxille—What was the partic ular occasion of his leaving? W ltness—He transacted his business with the head waiter. Tho prisoner—There was nothing said at all. I got money and paid tive dollars. The rest I had use for. I stayed a week or two longer on the streugth of that, and that is all about, it. This kind of evidence is irrelevant and I objuct to it. [Laughter ] I presume there were people in the house who thougdt I was a little crau* ky. Thera is no doubt about that at all. If you want to prove it, prove it by them. I did not have any conver sation with the ladies. It was all done by They vvere too kind hearted and polite to annoy me about board bills, and that is all aboqt \t. J w#nt facte. Titoy ar.'j very nice ladies, Christian ladies, good people every way- It is a good place to board. [Laughter.] General Logan and a lot of high-toned people boarded there. I recommend it as a boarding house. Witness stated Guiteau was abrupt in his manner at the table. There was a want of etiquette. The prisoner—J did not know any thing about the people at the table, and of course I kept my mouth shut. I did not enter into conversation with them. That was all the ahriyjtncss, l)au ( eq, of who atteuded the lecture in Investigator Hall, said all he could understated from the lecture was that the people of Roxtoo auJ two-thirds of ipankind generally would probably go down to perditiou. I supposed the man insane- George W. O'.ds, of Michigan, testi fied to Mrs Scoville charging Guiteau with being crazy anil saying he had attempted to kill her, and asking wit ness to put him off the place, Wit ness rp|ated how Quiteuu soaped hick ory trees, insisting they \yerp frvjit trees; and how when weeding he pull ed up mure strawberries and turnips than weeds, THE PRISONER PROTESTS. The prisoner—'l think we have had enough of this kind of talk.' (To Mr. Scoville, who tried to keep hint quiet,) 'keep quiet yourself. (To the Court,) the faot is tuat duriuir the fall of IH7A I spent several months trying to get hold of the Chicago Inter-Ocean. I exhausted myself on that, and along in the spring I had not much law busi ness. Mr. Scoville had a very fine farm and country seat in Wisconsin, and I went out there in the summer of 187G t» spend a couple of months. I aid try to do some farming worjs fo pay my hoard. That is all ia to that kind of talk. I went back to Chicago and opened a law office and (jiij well there, | always did well with the law when I stuck to my busi ness.' The District Attorney objected to a question by Mr. Scov'lle »o witness. The prisoner (to the District Attor ney)—l hope you gentlemen will insist upon order in this matter, and not al low this kind of thing to go on. It has no bearing on this case at all, and I will not have it. Witness \yas asked further as to Qititeau's troubles' with Sfrs Spoyillp The prisoner—lt is not true. I never made any trouble with any body. I want the absolute truth, and when the defense comes in with such nonsense I want to protest against it, and 1 want you gentlemen addressing the counsel for the prosecution) to sus £jiin me in it. Mr! Ilavidge—W e jyill get all right. The prisoner—Very well, sir. Mr. Scoville (to witness) —Did you form an opinion as to whether he was sane or insane? The prisoner—l object; the witness is not an expert. The cross examination was very searching, and the story of the ax scene with Mrs Scoville having been again sll|p)pd to, tip: prisoner declareij it to bo a lie, that was a short way tq put ft. He had never used any anger to his sister at all, although no doubt she thought so. As a matter of fact, it was all nonsense. In the re-direct examination reference was made to the incident of Guiteau's soaping hickory ' f rees. The prisoner—l remember of that soap business, but I didn't care anything about it. I was studying theology at the times. Adjourned till Friday. now THE CASE IS VIEWED ABROAD.
