Shortly afterward Guiteau became very indignent at Judge Porter's use of the word 'murder,' and shouted fiercely, 'You seem to delight in the use of the words kill and murder. There is no use of your whining in that way. The mere outward fact of how I removed the President has nothing whatever to do with this case.' Guiteau's shrewdness in detecting and anticipating any point which might be made against him was the marked feature of tbe investigation. Judge Porter pressed him very closely to fix the day when he received his al leged 'inspiration' to remove the Pres ident, and Guiteau finally shrieked out, 'to remove all this loose talk I would have removed the President at any time between the middle of June and 2d of July if I had found the opportun ity. I would have done it for the good of the American people.' Guiteau was permitted to indulge bis passion for talking upon tbe pend ing political situation (at tbe time of tbe shooting) until speaking of the President's ingratitude to Grant and Conkling. He was led by Judge Port er to admit that 'lngratitude is tbe basest of crimes.' THE METHOD IN HIS MADNESS Judge Porter—Stop there. What would you have thought of your act in killing the President had he given you the Paris consulship instead of having refused it ? Guiteau bad previously said that Garfield was his (prisoner's) 'warm personal and political friend,' that no personal motive whatever was involv ed in bis act, and, fearing evidently some trap was being sey for him, he hesitated a moment, and then, with great emphasis, said : 'I want to just iastea you solid right here. I would not have taken the Paris consulship after the first ol Juoe if I had been ap pointed to it, and tbe President and Secretary Blaine bad both beseeched me on there knees to take it. I had at that time resolved to remove tbe Pres ident for the good of the American people.' THE ASSASSIN CORNERED. After recess Guiteau resumed tbe stand, looking very haggard and worn. The cross-axamination, however, was continued as before recess. Guiteau said he bad no special purpose in using some flattering words to Blaine. 'I simply made the suggestion to him, in case be assisted me in getting the Par is Consulship, that I should feel bound, in case be was a candidate at tbe na tional convention, to assist him. The Judge understands that is the way politicians get on. You tickle me, I tickle you.' Question — Did you write to Presi dent Garfield, the letter marked 'Pri vate,' in which you said, 'I intend to express my sympathy for you on ac count of the pressure that has been on you Bince you came to the city ?' A.—Yes ; I wrote that letter. My idea was just this, to express my per sonal regard for General Garfield on account of the pressure on him for of fice, and that is what I meant by say ing I considered bim my personal friend. I sympathize with any Presi dent who has this enormous horde of office peekers at his throat. At the time those letters were written I bad not tbe slightest conception of remov ing tbe President. If you want to bring those letters against me that were written at the time when I bad not the slightest conception of remov ing tbe President, then you are trying to do what you cannot do and will not do,' (banging the railing violently.) Tbe prisoner being asked how many times he bad spoken with Conkling on the street, answered, 'I met him once on the street. He was exceedingly cordial, and be bowed and said, 'How do you do, Mr. Guiteau.' I was on good relations with all those men dur ing March and April.' Mr. Porter (slowly, and with great deliberation) —Did Senator Conkling- The prisoner (interrupting)—Oh, don't look so fierce at mo. I don't care a snap of my finger for you. Mr. Porter—But you will answer my questions. Prisoner—Put your questions in a quiet, simple sort of a way aud I will. Mr. Porter—Did Senator Conkling ever promise to suppor your applica tion for the Paris Consulship? The prisoner—My expectation about tbe Paris Consulship was that I would get it through my personal influence with tbe President, Blaine and Logan, and that when my nomination went to tne Senate Senator Conkling and that sort of men would see it through. But I don't think it necessary to discuss this matter of tbe Paris Consulship. I went over it all yesterday, and I de cline to discuss it further. There is no use in wasting tbe time of this honora ble Court on it in going over it again. If you do not know tbe facts about it yet you had better read this morning's papers, and vou will find them MALICE TOWARD BLAINE. The prisoner was asked about the inspiration of his suggestions to Gar field that he would succeed himself in 1884. He replied in a resolute tone, 'I decline to discuss this matter any further. You have gone over it two or tbree times, and I decline to discusß it any more. If your idea were correct about my having malice in tbe matter, Blaine was the man for me to have shot. What possible ill-will could I have had against Garfield ? Blaine was the man to have been shot, ac cording to your theory. My getting or not getting office bad nothing to do with it, whatever. It only shows how absurd and nonsensical your theory is. If General Garfield had paid respect to those letters, it would have been all right, but what did he do ? He went and sold himself, soul and body, to Blaine. He did not appreciate the sentiment and kindness of those letters, but threw himself into Blaine's bands and allowed Blaine to use tbe Presi dency to destroy Conkling and Grant.' | Question —Diu you say to Presi dent Garfield he would have no peace . till he got rid of Blaine ? i Prisoner—Yes, aud that was tbe BUTLER, PA., WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 14.1881 way Stalwart and Liberal papers all over the country talked. That was the way the Washington Republican and Gorham and that kind of people talked. Mr. Porter—Did you say Blaine was a wicked man ? Prisoner—Yes, because he was using President Garfield, who was a good man and a kind man, but a weak poli tician. Garfield just sold himself, body and soul, to Biaine. That was what General Grant himself said iD bis let ter denouncing Garfield for selling him self out to Blaine Mr. Porter—Did you say yesterday you did not desire the removal of Sec retary Blaine ? Tbe prisoner—l did not, and you cannot find it in the record- I insist now upon you finding it in the record. I want to fasten something on to you. I am as good a man as you are. Mr. Porter—l know you think so. The prisoner (angrily)— Yes, and the public will think so, too. Mr. Porter—Was your motive for demanding Blaine's resignation because he had said to you on the Saturday preceding never to speak to him again on the Paris Consulship ? The prisoner (excitedly)—l told you that had nothing to do with the Paris Consulate. I want to ram that into you and put it down deep. [Laugh ter.] lam talking now about nation al politics, and not about a miserable office, and if you would try to get your brains to take that in it would be bet ter. lam not a disappointed office seeker. ANOTHER RANTING SPELL. In the course of further cross-exami nation tbe prisoner said in relation to the term 'murder,' 'The Deity seemed to be on my side, and every one else against me. But there is a great deal better feeling towards me now than there was some three or four weeks ago. Some of their bitter crauk papers have been toning down wonderfully for the last three or four weeks. What tbey want is a change of heart. They want conversion ; they want new ideas about tbe President's removal. Noth ing but a change of heart will satisfy tbeir diabolical thirst for blood. It is not likely the Deity will gratify them in tbeir thirst for blood. They begin to see it and they will see it more and more.' The prisoner having expressed the belief that the Deity protected him from the day be sbot the President to this day, Mr. Porter said, 'lt depends more on whether the jury believe you.' The prisoner—Exactly what the jury is here to pass upon. Whether tbe Deity and I did the act, or whether I did it on my personal account. And I tell you further, I expect there will be an act of God to protect me, if it is necessary, from any kind of violence, either banging or shooting.' The prisoner asserted his act saved the country from another war. Mr. Porter—There would have been war now but for you ? HE ASSUMES THE PATHETIC. A.—l do not pretend the war was immediate, but I do say emphatically (and here be began to declaim in a dramatic manner and in tbe style of a stump speaker) that tbe bitterness in the Republican party was deepening hour by hour, and that by two or three years at least tbe nation would have been in a flame of war. In the presence of death all hearts were hush ed, dissension ceased. For weeks and weeks the heart and brains of tbe na tion centered on tbe sick man at the White House. At last (and here tbe speaker lowered his voice so as to be almost unintelligible), he went tbe way of all flesh and the nation was in mourning. That is a paragraph from a speech I intended to make two weeks ago,' be said, resuming bis natural tone, and apparently well satisfied with his effort. 'lt comes iu very pertiuent here, and I am glad I had a chance to deliver it.' PERPLEXING QUESTIONS. Counsel asked the prisoner tbe ne cessity of requesting General Sherman to send troops to the jail to protect bim from having obeyed the Deity. A.—l would have been shot and hung a hundred times if it had not been for the troops at the jail. t Q. —Any harm in that ? A.—That is a matter for the law to Eass upon. (Impatiently.) I will not aye any more conversation with you on this sacred subject. You are mak ing light of a serious matter, and I will not talk about it. Going back to the letters, Porter read that in which the prisoner stated Garfield's nomination, election and 're moval' were acts of God, and then ask ed 'Who nominated him ?' A.—Tho Chicago convention. Q. —Was that inspired? The prisoner hesitated and seemed about to dodge the question, when Mr. Porter stopped bim with an impatient 'now, now, now.' A.—(mockingly—Now, now, now. I thought Grant or Blaine would be nominated, and when Garfield was nominated on the thirty-sixth ballot it was the act of God. Tbe facts sur rounding bis election would sustain the position that it was the act of God, and the facts surrounding his removal would sustain the same position. The prisoner complained of being fatigued, saying he was not used to speaking five hours at a time, and the court adjourned. OUITEAC'B CROSS-EXAMINATION CONTIN UED. WASHINGTON, Friday, December 2. Immediately upon opening the Crimin al Court Guiteau was placed in the witness box. He glanced at tbe papers a moment, and tben said : 'I desire, Judge Porter, to state to you, and to the honorable Court, I decline to an swer any more questions, mere repeti tions of what we have already been over.' Judge Porter immediately resumed the cross-examination with the ques tion, was it one of your purposes in re moving the President to create a de mand for your book ?' Answer—Yes, sir, with the modifi cation that it was to preach the gospel. Witness soon became excited, and gesticulating wildly, insisted upon his iuspiratioa and that tbo Lord had lected him to do the work. He was no fool. The Lord never selected fools to do His work. He had inspired him to remove Garfield, and left him (wit ness) to use bis own judgment in se lecting the means. Continuing, excit edly, 'and the Lord has taken care of me. I've neither been shot nor hung.' Judge Porter—And you did not ex pect to be ? Answer—l decline to discuss the matter with you. I did not have any thought on the subject. I left it all to the Deity. THE ASSASSIN PERPLEXED. Witness repeatedly refused to answer questions, or, as he termed it, to 'dis cuss' matters under inquiry. At one time he appealed to the Court for pro tection against the manner of cross-ex amination. Judge Porter—l have not attempted to force a reply from you Mr. Guiteau. If you will allow the jury to under stand that you refuse to answer it will suit my purpose just as well. The witness at once turned to Judge Porter and inquired, 'Well, what was your question, Judge ?' The witness was then asked if his entering tbe Oneida Community was an inspiration ; if his leaving was an inspiration? and declined to discuss the subject. Judge Porter then produced Gui teau's book, 'Truth,' which the witness claimed was the result of inspiration from the Deity, and compared it, par agraph by paragraph, with the 'Bu reau,' tbe Oneida Community book, ! written by John H. Xoyes. The sim- 1 ilarity of ideas and identity of express ion was apparent all through, and the witness struggled desperately to ex plain away his palpable plagiarisms. HIS ONEIDA EXPERIENCE. A letter addressed by Guiteau to the Oneida Community was then read, in which the writer confessed his love for and subjection to John 11. Noyes and the Oneida Community. Several other letters written by Guiteau about the time be left the Oneida Community were then placed in evidence, identified by Guiteau and read. One of them, addressed to the Community, sets forth the writer's repentance for acts of in subordination, and contained a confes sion that he acted 'under the influence of his own self-willed, conceited and fa natical disposition.' Guiteau insisted, in spite of warnings in makiDg his explanations as the read ing progressed. 'I was elbowing my way out of the Community then,' said the witness. 'You want to imagine yourselves in hell, ladies and gentle men, aud trying to get out, then you can understand my position at that time.' THE DEITY OF THE DEVTL. Witness believed in the personal ex istence of the Deity and a devil, and when the impulse to remove the Presi dent seized bim be wrestled and pray ed to find if it came from tbe Lord or tbe devil, and had it not been for tbe political situation and tbe evident ne cessity for bis removal for the good of the country and the American people, witness would not have shot the Pres ident, but would have believed the im pulse was prompted by the devil. Witness was then asked : 'Are you insane at all ?' and replied : 'l'm not an expert. Let these experts and the jury decide that.' Being pressed for his opinion, the witness declined to answer. He was tben subjected to a rapid series of ques tions, aud soon began to exhibit irrita bility and auger ; and bis replies, when given at all, were in short, jerky sen tences. He vvas asked if he 'ay in wait for the President iu an alley by night, and, after a short wrangle, said: 'Now you are on that, I'll give you a little news. I'll tell you what occurred that evening, July Ist.' BLAINE HELD RESPONSIBLE. Witness then detailed his movements up to the time he saw the President and Secretary Hlaine emerge from tbe house of tbe latter and walk down Fif teenth street. Said Guiteau, 'They walked along so lovingly, arm in arm ; had tbeir heads together 14ke two school girls. Their fellowship was de lightful, and it oonfirmed me in tbe be lief that Garfield bad Bold bimself body and soul to Blaine, and that Blaine was using bim to ruin tbe Stalwart wing of tbe Republican party.' Guiteau here became furiously excit ed, and plunged into a wild harangue, denouncing Blaine as a bold, wicked, designing man, who wanted to ruin the Republican party in revenge for the two times he bad been slaugh tered by political conventions. Strik ing tbe desk with considerable violence he shouted: 'Yes, sir; in my opinion Blaine is morally responsible for tbe death of Garfield.' The court here took a recess. THE PRISONER REQUIRED TO ANSWER. The court having been called to or der and the prisoner brought in and placed in the witness stand, Mr. Por ter rose to pursue tbe examination, but was interrupted by the prisoner, who said, 'I desire to say to you, Judge, and to this honorable court, that I decline to answer any more questions, being a repetition of what we have already had. If you have anything new, lam read}* to answer; otherwise not, unless by special direction of tbe court.' The cross-examination then continu ed. Question —Was it one of your pur poses in killing the President to create a demand for your book ? Answer—One of the objects was to preach the gospel as set forth in my book. Mr. Porter repeated the question and was answered with a sullen, 'I have answered it,' from the prisoner. The question being repeated once more tbe prisoner appealed to the court as to whether he had not already an swered. The Court having held that the ques tion must be answered more specifical ly the prisoner replied in the affirma tive. Q. —You regard your book as gospel? A.—As an important explanation of tbe Bible I claim that it is collateral gospel. I undertake to say tho book is the Bible brought down to tbe pres eat day, lu so far as there is any truth in any book, it comes from the Deity and I claim it contains important truth. Q —Have you read a good deal about Napoleon? A.—No. Q. —When you wrote, 'The Presi dent's nomination was an act of God, bis election was an act of God, bis re moval was an act of God,' did you have Napoleon's bulletins in your mind ? EGOTISM ILLUSTRATED. A.—(Apparently gratified) that is the way I express myself—sharp-pointed, sententious. If you want to see a spec imen of that kind ot style look through my book Mr. Porter—l think you have re markable power of brain, and whatever your brotber-in-law may think, I ap preciate your ability. Prisoner (highly pleased)—l thank you. Judge, for your good opinion. Mr. Porter (significantly)—l think that is the opiuion of every juror. Prisoner (excitedly)—l take my chance before this court and jury on the fact that the Deity inspired the act. I am not a fool and the Deity never employed a fool to do his work. He put it into mv brain and heart and left me to work it out in my own way. Q —And you did ? A.—Under the sanction of Deity. The pressure on me commenced about six weeks before the actual shooting. I was a predestined man from the foundation of the world to do this act, and I had to do it Q. —You believe iu the doctrine of predestination ? A.—Most decidedly. I claim I am a man of destiny. You spoke of Na poleon. He thought he was a man of destiny, though be had a different work from me. lam as much a man of des tiny as the Savior, or Paul, or Martin Luther, or any of those religious men. Q. —And your destiny was to kill Garfield ? A.—lt was my destiny to obey the Divine will and let Him take care of it. I put up my life and have not been hung or shot yet. Q. —And you did not expect to be ? A.—l had no expectation except to do the Divine will and let Him take care of me. lam satisfied with the Deity's conduct of this case up to the present moment. Q. —When were you first inspired? AGAIN REFUSES TO ANSWER A.—l decline to discuss this matter with you any further. If you want any more ideas on that subject I refer you to the papers. I will not be an noyed in this way any more. Tbe court and jury and tbe country under stand it. Now, if you have got any thing new I will entertain you, other wise not. Mr. Porter—But the jury is not per mitted to read the papers. Prisoner—They have beard my statement on that point several times, and that ought to satisfy any gentle men. AS A PLAGIARIST Mr. Porter went on to cross-examine the prisoner with the object of showing that tbe pretended inspirations in re gard to a theocratic daily, to the book called 'Truth,' to lecture on the second coming of Christ, <tc., were merely bor rowed from the ideas of Noyes, and that portion of the book and lecture were plagiarisms from the book called 'The Bereau.' In connection with the prisoner's leaving tbe Oneida Commu nity, Mr. Porter put in eyidence a let ter of tbe prisoner's of April, 1865, wherein be says be is living in obedi ence to irresistible conviction; that if he did not do it woe would be upon him ; that be must obey tbe will ol God; that God and his conscience were driving him to battle, and that he dar ed not draw back. The package of manuscript tied together was shown tbe prisoner, aud admitted to be bis writiDg, although be said it appeared to be mutilated, having neither head nor tail. Tbe District Attorney then read the document from the printed slip, and the prisoner cautioued Mr. Scoville to fol low the reading with the original, as be was afraid to trust those men.' The document is the paper written by Uuiteau to the Oneida Community at the time of his leaving it, and is principally devoted to advocating his theory of establishing a great theocrat ic paper. The prisoner listened atten tively to its reading, interrupting now and then to make some explanation. "That's a very strong idea,' he contin ued when tbe idea of establishing a theocratic paper was mentioned. 'The idea was to make the world an entire community. It was a grand concep tion, but not at all feasible the way this world is ruu. There are too many bad people in this world.' A note was also read which had been written to the Community by Guiteau, and in which he confessed his love for and subordination to Noyes, and withdrew all charges previously made against him. The prisoner's comment on this was made iu a conversational tone: 'You want,' he said, 'to imagine yourselves in hell, ladies and gentlemen, and you will get some idea of my feeling in the Oneida Community.' A letter addressed by Guiteau to a member of the Community was also introduced in evidence. In this ho says: 'Wbeu in tbe world I bad a programme of my own, but God smaghed that and hurled me into tbe Community.' He also refers to himself as the creature of predestination, and that having God's work to do be would not leave it for the wealth of the Rothschilds and the fame of Napoleon. 'That is so now,' murmured the prisoner. A letter written by Guiteau asking to be received back into the Communi ty was next read. He states he gave up bis project of establishing a theo cratic paper because he was not up to tbe 'tricks of the newspaper trade,' and further that the project was 'a devilish delusion.' The peisoner— It was no devilish delusion. It was an inspired idea but not feasible. PREFERS 'REMOVE' TO 'MURDER.' The cross-examination was again re sumed. Q. —And it was in view of the polit ical situation you decided upon mur der ? A—(interrupting excitedly)— Don't use that word murder. You are en tirely too free with the word. Mr. Porter—Are voa noi, on trial for murder? A.—So it is said. Can't you U9e the proper word—'remove?' Mr. Porter—l can use the word 're move,' but it is as repulsive to me as murder is to you. The examination was addressed to occurrences of the night te'ore the shooting, when the prisoner followed : the President and Blaine The prisoner said he had not shot that night because it was hot and sul try. 'Do you think it would make you hotter to pull a trigger ?' inquired Mr. Porter, raising his arm and making a motion of shooting with a pistol. Prisoner (contemptuously)—Oh, don't put on so much style with a trig | Mr. Porter having again questioned , the prisoner as to his pistol practices | prior to the shooting, the latter turned I to the Court and said, 'lf your honor | please, I want to know if it is necessa i ry for Judgn Porter to go through the business again ? Ido not see the per tinence of this kind of talk, and I ask the protection of the court. If you have any new question I am willing to solve it. I object to going over this ground again. If you have any new ideas you waat to show and elucidate, I will assist vou.' p Mr. Porter then called the prisoner's attention to the fact that he had made arrangements to go to jail, and asked why he had done so. The prisoner replied he was afraid of being mobbed before he could explain his views to the people. They would say he was a disappointed office seeker and would hang him up. That was the only possible motive they could conceive for the act THE ASSASSIN CORNERED. Mr. Porter then asked the same ques tion as to the occurrences on the 18th of June, when the prisoner refrained from shooting the President on account of Mrs. Garfield's presence, and finally asked 'if Mrs. Qarfield had been with the President on July 2d, would you have shot him ?' Prisoner—No ; I should not have shot him in her prcseuce. I did not know what effect it might have on her. Q. —Then it depended entirely on your will ? A.—lt depended on whether I had a suitable opportunity. Mr. Porter asked why he would not have shot in Mrs. Garfield's presence? Prisonea—lf your head is so thick that you can't get an idea in, I won't try to pound it in. Don't ask your questions iu a mean, sickly sort of a way. Mr. Porter pressed his question, whereupon the prisoner took up a pa per and adjusting bis glasses began to read the paper, paying no attention whatever to the counsel Mr. Porter—What are you reading ? Prisoner (without raising his eyes) —I am glancing over the New York Herald. Mr. Porter—Don't you think the time of the court and of the jury is of some value? Prisoner—Not in the way you are interrogating the matter. It has been discussed and repeated over and over again (and the prisoner settled himself back in bis chair to read.) Mr. Scoville interposed that counsel was goiug over the same ground four times. Mr. Porter—l would like to hear what be said on the subject. Prisoner—You must be a very stu pid man, the papers are full of it ; the papers are full of my answers. Mr. Porter—What were your an swers ? Prisoner —I decline to answer. Mr. Porter—l suppose you have no objection to answering what you did on the day you killed him ? The prisoner then gave an account of his actions on the morning of July 2d. He had slept the previous night at the Kiggs House, had risen early and sat in Lafayette Park sometime before breakfast. After breakfast he went to his room and put his revolver in his pocket. A little before 9 o'clock went to the depot and had his boots blacked. Mr. Porter—Did 'you want to be in full dress when you killed him ? Prisoner (drawling)—No; I didn't want to be in full dress. I don't want to be interrupted. Mr. Porter—And I don't want to be interrupted. Prisoner—Then keep quiet. HE DESCRIBES THE SHOOTING. The prisoner then prsceeded with his story : Blaine and the President drove up in a single horse carriage and not in the White House carriage, which showed how much the President was under Blaine's influence. Blaine was blowing and blowing and the President was listening. They were on the most iniimate terms. Blaine got out of one side of the carriage aud Garfield out of the other. They walk ed up to the depot aud passed within a few feet of the prisoner, who drew his weapon and fired twice and hit him once. Q. —You shot him in the back? A.—l did not fire at any particular place. Q. —Did you not fire below b'*s back? A.—My intention was to shoot him in the back. Q. —Did you think if he got two balls in his back it would remove him? A.—l thought so. Q. —And you intended to put them there? A—l did. Q. —(In a soletun manner)— And from that hour to this you have never felt regret or remorse ? A.—l regret giving pain or trouble to any one, but I have no doubt as to the necessity of the net or the divinity of the act. Q. —You have never hinted at any remorse ? A.—My mind is a perfect blank on that subject. Q. —Do you feel any more remorse about rendering his wife a widow and her children fatherless than about i breaking the leg of that puppy dog ?

I feel remorse as much as any man, and regret the necessity of the act, but (raising his voice) — Mr. Porter—The cross-examination is closed. 'But,' continued the prisoner excited ly, 'my duty to the Lord and the American people overcame my personal feelings. If the Lord inspired that act it would not bavu been done.' Mr. Scoville then proceeded with the re-direct-examination, aud the prisoner said, 'I have been just clear as to the divinity of the act and the necessity of it for the good of the people Bince the first of June as a man can be on any thing.' When the examination of the priso ner closed, he was conduDted (looking completely worn out) from the stand to his regular seat desides his counsel. ANOTHER WITNESS CALLED. Mr. Scoville then called Dr. Alex ander Hall, of Columbus, 0., who tes tified to seeing the prisoner there some three or four years ago. The prisoner was then engaged in the laudable en terprise of trying to lecture on theology and sell an inspired volume of his own authorship, and which he said was one of the finest literary productions that ever came from an inspired pen. 'I am sorry to contradict you,' in terrupted the prisoner, 'but I never said so.' The witness had several conversa tions with him, and was under the im pression (which he expressed to his friends at the time) the prisoner was a lunatic. Mr. Scoville caHfcd Emory A. Storrs, Charles B. Farwell and other witnesses, but as none of them responded the Court adjourned. THE DEFENSE STILL CALLING WITNESSES. WASHINGTON, Saturday, December 3. —The interest in the Guiteau trial continues undiminished. The first witness was Col. J. O. P. Burnside, Disbursing Office of the Postoffico De partment. He formely lived in Free port, 111., and knew the prisoner's family. Mrs Guiteau wis an invalid. Charles C. Allen, of Missouri, lived in Freeport in 1839 and 1840, and knew the Guiteau family. Mrs. Gui teau was in feeble health. Emory A Storrs, of Chicago, knew Guiteau in that city by sight as a young lawyer; saw him perhaps a dozen times at the National Republi can Committee rooms in New York during the late Presidential canvass. The prisoner came up to him gleefully, and patting him on the shoulder, said: 'You are on the right track.' Witness never saw Guiteau doing anything at the committee rooms other than read ing papers. He seemed to have no especial employment. In April saw the prisoner at Washington; he said he was going to have the Austrian mission. Witness told him the place was an important one and in Blaine's line, and that he (Blaine) was a known politician. The prisoner re plied he was 'solid with Blaine.' Witness thought the conversation was leading up to a request of him (wit ness) to visit Blaine in Guiteau's iu terest, and forestalled this by saying his relations with Blaine were such that be could not possibly aid him (the any. Witness had formed an opinion as to Guiteau's men tal size, but could not express an opin ion as to his sanity or insanity. His impression was 'Guiteau had an illy balanced mind; in common parlance, he did not have good common sense.' Witness was asked in relation to the political status just prior to the shoot ing of President Garfield—if there were not elements of discord in thea Republican party which threatened ta disrupt it. The reply was. 'I thinlr the Repulican party a prety difficult one to disrupt, and while there were elements of discord, my belief in the good sense of the rank and file is such I think it would have held toge*,her.' BELIEVES GUITEAU RESPONSIBLE. Upon cross-examination witness said, 'never saw anything in Guiteau to indicate that he could not distin guish between right and wrong; never saw anything in the conduct of the prisoner that would indicate he did not know the difference between guilt or innocence; never saw auything to indicate he would not be responsible for crime.' Mr. Scoville noted several exceptions to the rulings of Judge Cox in favor of the admission of these replies. Tho evidence created quite a stir in the court room and seemed to stagger those about the defense table. The sister of the prisoner was particularly excited, and in tones distinctly caught by the reporters said. 'He has perjured him self; that is all there is about it.' Edward Daniels testified to Gui teau's peculiar religious views, and his impression was that ho was crazy. DISTINGUISHED WITNESS CALLED. After the witness left the stand Mr. Scoville announced that he had sub pomaded several witnesses whom he would now call. The first name called was Vice President David Davis. As the names of Speaker Randall and Secretary Bayard were called all eyes were centered on the witness door, but none of the withesses appeared, and Mr. Scoville read a number of news paper slips found on prisoner at the time of his capture. Guiteau interrupted to say he bad a hundred of them when arrested. They were taken from Stalwart, Liberal and Half-Breed papers. Whenever anything which confirmed his inspira tions he cut it out and pondered over it. When an extract from one of the papers was read referring to the re ported bargaining of Jno. Davenport in New Yort concerning the marshalship Guiteau said 'That shows bow weak Garfield was, and bow determined be 1 was to crush the Stalwarts.' Quit buying humbug medicines.
