PA., is prepared to accommodate the public in his line of business. JZ£l~Go. Immediately upon the opening of court, Mr. Seoville stated Ouiteau desired to mike a statement. No objection being made, Guiteau read from manuscript as follows: • ( I propose to have all facts bearing ou this case to go to the court and jury, and to do this I have been forced to interrupt counsel and witnesses who | were mistaken as to the supposed facts. I meant no discourtesy to them or any | one. Any fact in my career bearing ; on the question as to who fired that [shot, the Deity or myself, is of vital | importance in this case, and I propose that it go to the jury. Hence my personal, political and theological rec ord may be developed. lam glad that Your Honor and opposing counsel are disposed to give a historical review of my life, and I ask the press and public to do likewise. All I want is absolute justice, and I shall not permit any crooked work. I have no idea my counsel want crooked work. They are often mistaken on supposed facts, and I shall have to correct them. Last spring certain newspapers in New York and Washington were bitterly denouncing the President for breaking up the Republican party by improper appointments. I would iike to see those newspapers reprint those editori als now and see how they would look and sound. In attempting to remove the President I only did what the pa pers said ought to be done. Since July 2d they have been deifying the President and denouncing me for doing the very thing they said ought to be done. I want newspapers and doctors who actually killed the President to share with me the odium of his death. ! I never would have shot him of ray own volition, notwithstanding those newspapers, if I nad not been commis sioned by the Diety to do the deed. But this fact does not relieve the news papers from the supposed disgrace of the President's removal. If he had been properly treated be would have been alive to-day. It has been pub lished that lam in fear of death. It is false. I have always been a religious niau aud am an active worker for God. Sonn people think I am a murderer, but the Lord does not, for He inspired the act, as iu the case of Abraham and and a score of other cases iu the Bible. The assault made upon me Saturday last by a crank has been condemned by the press. The eyes of the civiliz ed world ere watching this case, and it behooves i his court anil the metropolitan police to protect me at ail hazards. 1 hereby warn all cranks, of high or low degree, to keep away from me under penalty of instant death. He would have been shot dead on Saturday but for the rearing of the horses in the van as the officer was shooting. The horses shook the van so thit he lost his aim, and, though the van pursued him,"he temporarily escaped. I waste my arguments on cranks. All they can see in this case is a policemen's re volver. Again, I say if they value their lives thev must keep away from me. I desire* the court and jury to dispose of this case on facts and law, and to leave all the responsibility about it on the verdict," A BLAST AT 1118 EX-WIFE Guiteau, who seemed greatly excit ed, here broke in again and shouted, •There is another matter I want to speak about right now. 1 understand my divorced wife is to be brought here as a witness against me. If that is so there will be trouble. She was a poor, unfortunate thing, and I never should have married her. But if she comes in here to testify against me and do me any harm, I'll rip up her whole rec ord. She was seduced in Philadelphia, and had a child before I married her.'— With great difficulty Mr. Scoville, after some minutes of expostulation, succeeded in quieting Guileiu. TESTIMONY RESUMED. Charles H. Reed, of Chicago, de tailed several incidents in Guiteau's career as a lawyer at Chicago. Wit ness was prosecuting Attorney for twelve years and met Guiteau frequent- ly, but his relations with him were never intimate. He bad loaned him money, which is still due. He always regarded him as a very earnest and sincere maD, but unbalanced. He nev er saw aiiy indication of violence, and always deemed him a.harmless man until recently. UNBALANCED, OF UNSOUND MIND. Witness saw Guiteau here several times last spring. Frequent references were made during conversations to the office Guiteau was expecting to have. Witness told Guiteau he had no show for the Paris Consulship, and he would help him to get a clerkship or some minor position where there was little ! responsibility attaching, but Guiteau became very indigent and said : 'You watch the papers for the next three or I four days, and you will see the an nouncement ot my appointment to the ; Paris Consulship.' The witness visit ed Guiteau a few days since in the | jail and asked him why he killed Prcs j ident Garfield. The prisoner was ly ing down on h:s couch. He rose ex -1 citedly and began a rambling sort of speech, saying: 'I didn't do it; the Lord did it. f was only the Lord's i instrument in removing the President.' ! At times the prisoner would show great excitement, striking his lists against the walls with considerable violence; then he would relapse into a perfectly quiet stute, speaking almost in a whisper Witness received the : impression that Guiteau was of un sound mind. Being pressed for a more ' direct answer he replied, 'I had no doubt of it.' • GUITEAU CONTRADICTS THE WITNESS. ! Upon cross-examination witness stated that the last time he saw Gui teau was on Tuesday evening before the assassination of the President. Gniteau took exceptions to the date, and insisted he did not see witness for a month previous to July Ist. Witness was sure of the correctness of his statement, as he went directly to Saratoga and heard there of the kill ing of the President, i Guiteau shouted out: 'I say it was BUTLER, PA., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7. 18*1 tbe first of May. I don't forget any thing, you sue. That's the matter witD my brain ; when anything gets in there it sticks.' Witness resumed, when Guiteau broke in sgain, directly contradicting him He was cautioned to keep quiet I and retorted: 'We want the facts, 1 Judge, to go before tbe jury, and nothing else. I claim my act was in spired by the Deity I stake my cas«' on that position, and I'll take my chances on the result.' GUITEAU IRREPRESSIBLE. The Court, (severely)—'Be silent' Mr. Davidge (firmly)—' You must keep quiet, at least while I am cross examining the witness.' But neither the Court nor counsel could repress the prisijper, who con tinued talkiug and struggling angrily with the deputy marshals. 'This con versation,' he said, 'occurred about two months prior to July. You are right as to the conversation, but wrong as to the date. I say it was in May. With that correction your statement is true.' Mr. Davidge (to witness) —'You have heard the interruption of the pris oner ; what is your opinion about the time V Witness—l am very certain it was on that Tuesday.' Prisoner—'That was the tinie I spoke to you about getting sls. You said you did not have the money. That part of the conversation is correct. I don't forget anything. Anything that gets into my head sticks.' [Laugh ter.] Mr. Davidge (to witness) —'You said he stated you would see his name in the papers in connection with the Paris consulship ?' Prisoner—T never said that.' Mr. Davidge—'Well, he says, Mr. Prisoner, you did sav it The prisoner, in a persevering man ner, declared he did not say so. He also indignantly denied the witness' statement that he (witness) did not admit him to the bar in Chicago. He did not want any trickery about this case. THE COURT THREATENS TO GAG HIM. The Court, impatient at the priso ner's constaut interruptions of counsel and witness, in a stern and determined tone, said : 'lf there is no other way of preventing these interruptions you will have to be gagged.' 'Well,' began the prisoner. Keep your mouth shut,' thundered the Judge,'and don't interrupt again during this trial. Ido not desire it, but if the trinl cannot go on without a tesort to gagging, it will have to be done.' Even this threat, though it had a momentary effect on the prisoner, could not entirely repress him, s'nd he again denied the conversation detailed by witness, who 'was a very good fel low, but wrong there. lam going to have facts in this case,' he 'aud uothiug but facts. 1 want the Judge and jury to decide upon facts, aud nothing else. The witness is entirely erroneous in his memory.' Mr. Davidge—'Did Guiteau say you would see his name in the newspapers in a few pays as Consul to Paris, or that he would make a fuss ?' Witness—'He said If I do not get it'—(reflecting) I will find his exact language.' THE PRISONER PERSISTS The prisoner (interrupting)—'lt is absolutely false. I never said any such thing. That has nothing at all to do with my intending to remove the President. I rest my defense en tirely on inspiration, which came from the Deity, for that act, and I will take my chances on the result. I do not want any lying or nonsense in this business, and 1 will not have it.' Mr. Davidge (to witness) —'Go on.' The witness—'He said in connection with the administration, if he didn't get the Paris Consulate, he would either make a fuss about it or would do some thing about it in the newspapers.' Prisoner—'l never said anything of the kind, and I never thought any thing of the kind. That is the result of your imagination, Mr. Reed. It is not true. You are a good fellow, aud I think a good deal of you, but you are mistaken in your facts. [After a pause] 1 was not iu the habit of telling my business in that kind of a way to anybody.' THE EFFORTS TO PROVE HIM IRRESPONS IBLE. WASHINGTON, Saturday, Xov. 26. Upon the opening of the Criminal Court Mr. Scoville read a telegram from Emory A. Storrs, of Chicago, say iDg he could not possibly at present, owing to professional engagements, come to Washington to testify. Mr. Scoville said that under the circum stances he would not insist upon an at tachment for Storrs. Davidge, speak ing for the prosecution was willing to have Storrs put upon the stand any time during the progress of the trial, and this understanding was accepted by all parties. * Thomas North then resumed the wit ness stand, and was cross-examined very closely and at, great lensrth by Da vidge. Guiteau interrupted him at the very outset, and protested that there was no truth in the witness'story (wit ness was being questioned in relation to the fight between Guiteau and his father, Luther W. Guiteau), that he had a good memory and could remem ber most everything, but did not recall any such scene. GUITEAU RESPONDS TO BEECIIER. Just as the witness was released from the stand Guiteau improved the momentary lull to make the first speech of the day. He said: "I notice my friend Henry Ward Beecher is doing some cranky work on this case. I used to attend his church and prayer meet ings, and if your Honor knew him as well as I do you would not pay any at tention to him. There are a good many people that think he is badly cranked socially, and have no doubt that Mrs. Tiltoii told the truth and that he lied about it, and I tell him so pub licly.' 'Oh, well, well, prisoner, that will do for you,' said Davidge. Guiteau was apparently satisfied,and nodded with a smile, saying, 'That's ' all right, Judge, 1 have had my say on Beecher. I'm satisfied.' GEN. LOGAN ON THE STAND. The next witness was Senator John A Logan, of lilinois. As he was sworn the prisoner greeted him with 'How are you, Mr. Senator? 1 am triad to see you but tbe greeting met with no response. The witness detail ed two interviews he had with the prisoner. The first was about the 12th or 15th of March last. The prisoner came to his room, uninvited. He did not know who he was. The first thing the prisoner did was to pull a pamphlet from his pocket and hand it to witness, saying it was a speech he had deliver ed in tbe recent canvass, and asking witness to read it. Witness declined to read it at the time, but said he would take pleasure in reading it after wards. It was a speech entitled 'Gar field against Hancock ' The prisoner then said: 'That speech elected Gar field President of the United States.' He then commenced talking about a position be desired, saying be had tbe promise of appointmeut as Consul Geu eral to France. He said he had seen the Secretary of State, Blaine, who promised him this appointment, pro vided he could get Senator Logan's recommendation. Witness said : 'I do not know you and cannot recommend you.' The prisoner then went on to say he resided in Chicago and was a constituent of witness', and witness was under obligation to recommend him. He also told witness he had been to New York during the canvass to see tbe Bepublican National Committee there in regard to entering the cam paign. He said the President was a friend of his, and he had seen General Garfield somewhere, not in Washing ton; that he was satisfied the President was favorably disposed to his appoint ment, and he would get it, especially if he (witness) would recommend him. Witness again declined. The prisoner then took out of his pocket a sheet of foolscap with aboui three lines written very close to tbe top. It was a recom mendation for bis appointment. He wanted witness to sign it, but witness declined aud got rid ot him as soon as be could. Question —Why ? Answer—He does not strike me as a person whom I would recommend for an office of that character, or any other office. I treated him as kindly and po litely as I cou!d, but was very desir ous of getting rid of htm. I did not want to be annoyed with him. Q —Was there anything particularly noticeable in his appearance ? A.—He was rather peculiarly clad for tbe season, there being snow ou the street at the time. He bad on his feet a pair of sandals, or rubbers, or some thing of that kind. He had no stock ings. He wore a tight pair of panta loons and a common, ordinary coat. A day or two af'erward he came again to my room uninvited. He still insisted on my signing his reco umendation, re iterating the same statement as before, of his having the promise of tbe place if I would recommend him. I again declined. I had, in the meantime, out of courtesy, read the speech. He was a little more excited at the second in terview than at the first. The second was a very short interview, for I tried to dispose of the matter as quickly as possible. I said to bim, 'the first time I see the Secretary of State I will men tion your case to bim.' I did not say I would recommend him, but simply that I would mention bis case, and I intended to do so, but probably in a different way from what he supposed I would. Q. —From what you saw of the pris oner on these occasions, and from what was said and done by bim, did you form an opinion as to his mental sound ness or unsoundness ? Witness—l am not an expert, and do not know whether I should answer the question. The Court—You may give an opin ion in accordance with your observa tion. Witness—l thought there was some derangement of his mental organiza tion, but to what extent I could not say. When I went down to breakfast that morning I saw him at the table as a boarder. I called the landlady and asked her if she knew* that gentleman. She mentioned his name and said be had told her he was a constituent of mine. Q. —What was your expression of opinion to the landlady at that time ? A.—l said this: 'I do not think he is a proper person to have in your boarding house.' She asked why ? I said, 'I think ho is a little olf in his head,' or some language of that kind. She asked me what I meant, and I said I thought he was kind of crazy, and that she had better not have him in her boarding house. That is about the coversation we bad that time. Cross-examination very brief aid no new points developed. REGARDED AS WRONG-HEADED. Edward E. Smith, employed at the Republican National Committee rooms during the Presidential campaign, thought Guiteau very peculiar, flighty aud rambling conversation. Guiteau here interrupted with his customary comments, and said : This gentleman wasn't in a position to know about matters there. He was only a clerk there anyway. Governor Jew ell, ex-Senator Dorsey and the rest of us boys were the ones that did the work there.' John A. Morse (colored), attorney at-law—Saw Guiteau at the White House during March and April ; took him to be a crazy man. THE PRISONER'S SISTER TESTIFIES. Mrs. Scoville then took the stand and gave a biographical sketch of Gui tcau's life, commencing with his early childhood. When Charles was twelve years old he lived with the witness for a year in Chicago, where he went to school. She recollected nothing pecu liar about him then, exept that he was very affectionate and she was very much attached to him. Five or six years later he went to Ann Arbor to attend school. She went to Ann Arbor to see him, as she had been informed that he was going on worse than her father had ever done. She found he had abaudoued bis studies andwasgiv- iug his whole time and attention to studying the publications of the Oneida Community. She argued with liini for a wb«>le evening, appealing to bim to go on quietly, like other young men, anil give up all that stuff Her ap peals had no effect upon him, however, and she made up her mind he was crazy. She told her uncle, who lived at Ann Arbor, to pay no more atten tion to hiiu, but let bim go his own way, as he was 'char gone daft.' She afterwards visited him at the Oneida community, but could hardly have any conversation with him as they were not left alone a moment together. She noticed lie acted like a person who had been bewildered, struck on the head, or bad partly lost his mind. The prisoner—l had been there three years at that time, and was right in the heart of their fanaticism. Witness went on to relate the priso ner's history, including his admission to the bar (at which she was very much surprised), his marriage aud his separation from his wife, down to the time he visited her in Wisconsin in 1875. She noticed then a great change in his personal appearance. He was also very hard to get along with, and used to get in a 'hitalutin' state. He seemed willing to do anything he was told, but got very much befogged and could not do it. She related an inci dent of his attacking her with an ax. She had given him no provocation, but bad got out ol patience with him. It was not the ax that frightened her so much as it was the look of his face. He looked like a wild criminal. While the direct examination was still in progress, the court adjourntd until Monday. EFFORT TO PROVE HEREDITARY INSAN ITY. WASHINGTON, Monday, Nov. 28. The Criminal Court room was densely crowded this morning, and at ten o'- clock Mrs. Scoville resumed her testi mony. She described Guiteau's actions during his visit t<* her in 1878,.and said she was then convinced he was insane and should be put in an asylum. Fur ther objections were raised by counsel for the prosecution to the character of the questions propounded by Mr. Sco ville, and continuous discussion ensued between counsel upon the admissibility of certain evidence. At times some ir ritability was manifested. 'The witness does not understand the rules of evidence, gentlemen,' said Mr Scoyille. 'Yes, but you are supposed to,' was the reply. The witness was a.-ked if she had ever before been upon a witness stand aud replied, with much emphasis: 'No, and I'm not a lawyer, either.' Mrs Scoville's examination being concluded, the cross-examination was postponed to allow Geo. I>. Burroughs, of Chicago, to testify, as he desired to leave the city. This witness boarded with the Seovilles at tbe time of Gtii teau's vUit, in 1878, anil made tip his mind the prisoner was either a fool or crazy. He was satisfied Guiteau was unsettled in intellect. GUITEAU RAPS THE REPORTERS. There was a brief interval before the next witness appeared, and Guiteau took advantage of tbe opportunity and broke out with : 'I desire to tell all these crank newspaper men that I ap pear here as my own counsel. That is my answer to all the silly stuff they have been delivering themselves of for some days past. Some of these news- paptr men have gone crazy. I appear here in part as my own counsel, as I have a right to under the law and con stitution of America.' No effort was made to check Guiteau, and no notice whatever of the interrup tion was taken by the court. C. S. Jocelyn, of the Oneida Com munity, thought Guiteau's marked characteristic was intense egotism. LI'S BROTHER TESTIFIES. Johu W. Guiteau, brother of the prisoner, was next examined. He had not been on good terms .with his bro ther ror some years, but had not doubt ed his sanity until he received some letters in October. Since he had come on here and had seen his brother in the court room and at jail he had become satisfied he was insane. On being cross-examined witness ad mitted that before he had come to Washington he had always, in talking of the case, believed his brother was responsible. He believed him respons ible, but not sane; responsible because, as he thought, at some period of his life the prisoner had voluutarily sur rendered himself to evil practices rather than good. TIIE PRISONER INTERRUPTS. Guiteau winced under these state ments, evidently fearing his brother's candor was injuring his case, and with considerable bitterness interrupted, 'My brother and I have net been on good terms for fifteen years. He always sympathized with my father on that Oneida Community business, while , Mr. Scoville and mv sister sympathiz ed with me. The last time I saw my brother in Boston we had some angry words, so that he does not coir.e here to testify for me with the ordinary force a brother usually does come. I'm [ glad to find he has changed his views, however, in my case. 1 want the pubr lie to understand about this.' Guiteau continued to interrupt, ex plain and correct the witness. Once .Judge Davidge attempted to stop him, but he waved his hand imperiously say iug: 'You keep quiet, .Judge, if you please.' Shortly after witness was asked, in connection with the incident he had related, if he, at that time, thought the prisoner insane. Guiteau quickly anticipated his reply bv saying: 'Why, of course, he has always thought I was badly cranked.' Witness said he never detected the slightest trace of insanity in his father. AS TO HEREDITARY INSANITY. After recess J. W. Guiteau resumed the stand. He had heard his uncle Abraham was insane. Jlis uncle Fran cis Wilson Guiteau (mentioned in the family as 'Francis Guiteau the second') died in an asylum. He understood in earh' life Francis had fought a duel with a rival in love. Witness had un derstood his uncle had killed a man, but the records of the asvluuj showed bis.it)-sanity had been caused by morti fication at lighting a sham duel. Be sides Abbey Mayntrd, a daughter, his auut Julia and Augustus Parker, who was a cousin, witness had never heard anv other case of insanity in the tami ly. -Mr. Seovllle—Wha* is your opinion now as to your father's sanity? A.—l think he was sane. O—What do you mean by saying your brother was possessed of a demon or deyil ? A—The religious theory is that there are two forces in the universe, one under Satan or the devil, and one under God or .lesus Christ. My fath er hfld the view that there were living in the world those who were seized of the devil or of Satan, and of Christ or God. He believed these two forces were at war, one with the other, and at present anil since the fall of man Satan had to a great extent dominion of the earth, to possess himself of all those he could, and he did possess himself of all those who.were not ab solute believers in the Lord Jesus Christ as the Savior, and who had not been saved from the power of sin by a complete union with the Lord and Jesus Christ: that all evil, all deformi ty, all infirmity, was the result of sin, or the admission of those who had free will that they were under the dominion of Satan or au evil spirit, or of evil nature. That was my father's theo logical view. It was my brother's, and is mine, and so believed at some time in my brother's life, as he had a free will to choose good or evil, he must have, through his evil, through his wilfulness, through his slubborness, through his preversity of nature, al lowed Satan to gain such control over him that he was under the power of Satan ; that idea is the one on which I based my opinion theat my brother was really responsible to God, but perhaps not responsible according to human or legal responsibility, being in one sense insane. The prisoner—You have that thing wrong side up. Witness—Perhaps I have. The prisoner—That's a very poor theological position for you to take. Coming back to the subject of his his uncle, Abraham Guiteau, witness stated that when he saw him last, in 1807, he was 'off his base very badly.' He was a 'gassy, blowhardy' man. Wttness would have said of him, 'he was a little weak in his upper story.' He remembered his brother in his in fancy. He was so nervous he could not keep still for five minutes. His father once offered him ten cents if he would do so, and he tiid not get the money. His mother had saltrheum very badly; that disease affected wit ness and his sister. He never heard of it in the prisoner. A LOVE ADVENTURE. Sarah I'aiker, Chicago, widow of Augustus, and cousin of the prisoner, testified her husband died in an insane asylum The prisoner and his wife came to.her house in Chicago. Wit ness had then two children, a son and daughter, twelve and thirteen years old. She had requested the prisoner to cease visiting at her bouse, because he had proposed to educate her daugh ter so as to marry her. This was in 1870, soon after her husband became insane The prisoner seemed to have fallen very desperately in love with her little daughter and to want to marry her. 'A very common form of insanity,' Mr. Davidge put in. 'And she was a very handsome girl too,' said the prisoner. Her little daughter complained to witness that the prisoner used to fol low her on the street, wanting to talk to her, and she was afraid to go out alone, ller daughter thought him crazy, and told her so. Witness thought him crazy, and thought so when she first saw hint, ten or eleven years ago. She thought then his mind was cracked. The prisoner—They were very poor and I used to go down there and give them money and they appreciated that very much. Incidentally I became pleased with the little girl, who was very smart She was too young, how ever. Bernard Jones, of Chicago, who in 1878 had boarded at the same house with Guiteau, and been one of the board of trustees who had supervision over the insane asylum at Jacksonville, considered Guiteau of uusouud mind, and what some authorities would call in a state of incipient insanity. On cross-examination witness stated that, in 1878 he had paid several visits to Guiteau for the purpose of helping birn out of difficulty, something in re gard to collecting money and not pay ing it over. The prisoner—That part of the state ment is incorrect. It is enormous. I boarded some years ago in the same bouse with him. It was a high-toned place in Michigan avenue, Chicago, and I paid my hoard. Probably he and other people thought I was very cranky at that time. THE PRISONER ON THE STAND. A buzz of expectancy ran through the assemblage as Mr. Scoville asked the prisoner to be sworn. The priso ner nervously proceeded to the stand in custody oi two deputy marshals and the oath was administered to him. He then whispered a few words to the policemen who stood near the witness box, and immediately three deputies ranged themselves shoulder to shoul der behind the prisoner, who, apparent ly more at ease, said inquiringly to the Court, 'I can sit down?' 'Yes,' re plied the Court, and the prisoner seat ed himself accordingly. Mr Scoville then stated he merely wished the prisoner to indentify some letters The prisoner—l understood from Mr. Scoville that all I am to do is to indentify some letters. I do not ap pear as a witness aside from that. Mr. Scoville then presented a num ber of letters dating from 1857 to 18fiS, which were indeutified by the prisoner, who made running comments upon his penmanship. 'This does not look like my present handwriting.' 'There is decided improvement shown here.' 'This is better than I can do now.'

Guiteau, and to Mr. i Scoville. Indeutification having been complet ! Ed the court adjourned. THE ASSASSIN TAKES THE WITNESS STAND. WASHINGTON, Tuesday, Nov. 29 The crowd in and about the court this morning is greater than ever. Imme diately upon the opening of court Gui teau was called to the witness stand, and took his place, closely watched and guarded by policeman and court officers. lie was asked by Mr. Scoville to give some incidents from his early recollec tions of his mother. Guiteau replied: 'Am 1 to lie put on as a regular witness to-day, or only to identify some fetters ? I supposed the latter. lam not feeling at all well to day, but shall feel much better in a week or so.' Mr. Scoville—l had arranged to ex amine you to-day, and there are no other witnesses present. PLEAOS INDISPOSITION. Guiteau—You shonld have had your witnesses on hand. 1 object to going on the stand when 1 am feeling unwell to be subjected to cross-examination by counsel for the prosecution. I have got a good deal to say. I want to go over the whole business carefully and scientifically (so to speak), and I want to be in good talking condition. Mr. Scoville—l shall ask you some simple questions. Guiteau—l am willing to answer providing the prosecution will not take advantage of my presence on the stand to force me to state my entire defense. Judge Porter (of the prosecution) suggested that the papers and letters which were put in evidence and identi fied yesterday should be read, as they must necessarily be at some stage of the trial. Mr. Scoville explained he had en deavored to arrange for the introduc tion of this evidence according to his idea of propriety and legal fitness He knew the prisoner was not feeling well to-day and hejjexpected he would be come tired or exhausted, when he had proposed to ask the indulgence of the Court and postpone further examina tion. lie did desire, however, to ask the prisoner a few questions to-day. OBJECTS TO CROSS-EXAMINATION. Guiteau—l am perfectly willing to do that, but I do not want the prose cution to take advantage of my pres ence here to cross-examine me to-day. Mr Scoville—The Court will re lieve you if you feel ill. Guiteau—With that understanding I will go on. Col. Corkhill— We can't submit to any such arrangement as that. Mr. Scoville— I don't ask your con sent. I shall appeal to the Ceurt. Judge Cox stated that if witness went upon the stand to testify he must submit to being crossexamined, and it his examination as a witness was begun it could not be suspended except by consent of counsel on the other side. Guiteau (nodding his head approv ingly)— That's the rule, Judge, as I understand it. LETTERS HEAP IN EVIDENCE. After some further discussion, Gui teau was removed from the stand, and Mr. Scoville proceeded to read the let ters. They were all written by Gui teau to his father and other members of his family, and covered a period of fifteen or twenty years- As the read ing of ihe letters progressed Guiteau occasionally commented upon them or suggested a proper word when Scoville hesitated. While one dated from the Oneida Community was being read, Guiteau said, 'Well, you can see I was badly cranked about that time ' At another Mr. Scoville hesitated and said, 'Here is a word I cannot make out.' 'Civilization is the word,'prompt ed Guiteau. 'You can see how badly mixed up I got in that miserable Com munity. It makes me mad every time I think of it. 1 wish those letters were out of existence.'
