HEREDITARY INSANITY IN THE GCI TEAU FAMILY. WASHINGTON, Wednesday, Dec. 7. The Criminal Court was densely crowded this morning. Among the audience were General Sherman and Rev. DeWitt Talmage To-day the • prosecution commence in rebuttal to demolish the theory of insanity as set up by the defense. In doing this they will retraverse the ground gone over by the defense and from the standpoint of the prosecution will thoroughly ven tilate Guiteau's past life and habits, be ginning his early life in Freeport and i concluding with a vast amount of the best export testimony obtainable in the country. HARANGUE FROM THE PRISONER. As soon as court was formally open- Goiteau addressed the court in rather imperious tones as follows : 'May it please Your Honor, the American peo ple do not desire this case shall be tried again and Ido not desire it. I say with the utmost respect to this court and jury and my counsel, Sco ville, that I am not satisfied with the political situation as developed here in thisca.se. This is the gist of this al leged offense. The President of the United States would never have been shot if it had not been for the political situation which existed last May and June, and I say I have a right, as a matter of law, appearing as my own counsel, to ask your flonor that Gen eral Grant, Senators Conkhng and Piatt, and President Arthur, and those kind of men, who were so down upon Garfield that they would not speak to him on the street and would not go to the White House, shall be put on the stand. I have a right to show my personal relations to those gentlemen ; that I was cordially received by thern, and that I was well dressed and well fed at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. I want to show my personal relations to those men I don't want to except to Your Honor's ruling, but I shall be obliged to do so, and I have no doubt that the court in banc will give roe a new trial.' Judge Cox—Your exception has been noted. THE PRESIDENT WANTED AS A WITNESS. Mr. Scoville then called up the sub ject of President Arthur's testimony, and said he had not yet received any responce to bis interrogations; that the Presideqt's evidence was absolutely essential to the defen*t>. Guiteau interrupted him, excitedly, with, 'I don't think it at all necessary for General Arthur to be here. (To Mr. Scoville) —I don't care what you want. I'm doing this myself. I ask as a personal favor that he shan't be dragged into Court. I think a good deal of General Arthur. He's Presi dent of the United States, and I don't think he should be bothered with this matter (striking the desk violently). He's President of the United States, and I made him so, and I think I should have something to say in this matter.' It was arranged between counsel that the President's answers should be put in evidence at any stage of the trial. (JEN. SHERMAN ON THE STAND. Mr. Scoville called Geri W. T. Sher man The witness simply recited the j orders he had issued for the disposition | of troops at the time of the assassina- : tion. He indentified the letter written ! by Guiteau, and said he suspected at the time there might be a conspiracy, j but afterwards concluded the shooting was the act of one man- As be left the stand (Juiteau said: 'I thank you, General, for havintr ordered out those troops that day. If j it hadn't been for you I shouldn't be here to-day. I owe my life to the I protection which you and G«n. Crock- er gave me during that period when the mob spirit was rife.' At this the General smiled grimly. SANITY OF THE GUITEAU FAMILY. Edward P. Barton, a lawyer, A. T. Green and G. W. Tardy, all of Free port, Illinois, testified they knew the Guiteau family and considered them all uane. Dr. P. B. Buckley, of Freeport, tes tified he was L. W. Guiteau's family physician; never saw any indications of the slightest mental derangement in him or in Abram Guiteau. Colonel Corkhill (aside, but quite audibly)— Nor any one else. Mr. Scoville—Are you testifying? Col. Corkhill—l only wish I could. Mr Scoville—Well, go on the stand then and testify. Don't sit there and talk to the jury. Witness was asked if he ever heard L. W. Guiteau assert he could heal diseases by prayer ? Guiteau (excitedly)—He onty talked that in his family He didn't run around the streets to preach it, like an idiot, or a jackass. Ho had too much sense for that. Witness.had never heard any such claim on the part of L. W. Guiteau. He was asked if he knew Dr. North. Dr. North was the most positive wit ness introduce*] by the defense, and by his shewing the entire (juiteau family were more or less i»sane. Witness replied he knew him in Freeport. Guiteau—The fact of the matter is, my father used money which should have sent me to college in supporting that Dr. North and his family on my fathers farm at Freeport. Col. Corkhill—That's just my opin ion of Dr. North. Mr. Atkins, of the Freeport Repuh- I lican, confirmed the testimony of pre- I viotfs witnesses as to the sanity of the various members of the ikiiteaa family. |' ' The witness was asked if he know j Dr. North, and replied. 'Yes, I knew ' hirn as • a Methodist minister, and I knew the causes of his dismissal.' Col. Corkhill—Well,-what were the causes ? « . / j ' Witness—die was dismissed for lascivious conduct. Pending th%cross-examination, John. W. Guiteau' (brother of the prisoner)' arose and protested against the man ner in which the name of his half-sister, Flora W. Guiteau, had been mentiou -4 ed. He desired the witness to state ] BUTLER, PA„ WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 21,1881 exactly the infirmity under which she suffered. Colonel Corkhill thought the re quest a most proper one. He had re ceived a letter from the young lady, who had lived twenty-four years un married, and against whom no word of reproach had ever been uttered. Ste had felt very keenly the intimations that had been made upon the stand by the defense that she had been sent to St. Louis for treatment in anticipation of her becoming iusaue. The witness stated the young lady in question suffered from an affection of one of her eyes, and was sent to St. Louis for treatment of her eyes. Guiteau (turning angrily to his brother) whispered, bat do you want to make such a fuss about that for V (Then aloud), 'l'm sorry my half sister's name had to be dragged in here. She is a very nice young person, so far as I know, and I send her greet ing.' Mrs. Scoville, sitting on the other side of J. W. Guiteau, was greatly ex cited, an angrily accused her brother of trying to injure their case. Just before recess some one in the audience behind Guiteau made a re quest for his autograph. Guiteau wrote it with a flourish, and as he tore it off the slip said, 'I want to call attention to this autograph business. A great many people want my autograph, and 1 give it to them, ' bnt there is no vanity aoout me or ego- | tism. I notice the newspapers are taking it up again. There's nothing in it at all.' J. S. Cochran, lawyer, who had re sided in Freeport since 1858, testified he never saw judications of insanity in any member of the Guiteau family. Witness was about to leave the stand when Guiteau shouted to him, 'Hold on ; don't you know of his active support of the Oneida Communty? Haven't you heard him discuss free loyeism, Noyesism, and all that? Don't you know he was the laughing stock of all Freeport for twenty-five years for his crank ideas ?' Mr, Scoville, whispering to Guiteau, tried to restrain him, but he shouted at him, 'You keep quiet. I'm doing this. Don't you know enough to keep still when I am questioning- th« witness ?' Then with a wave of his hand, 'Go on, Mr. Witness, answer those questions separately.' Witness was told he might answer, and replied, 'I know just the reverse to be the case.' Guiteau—Well, that was a fact any way. We don't want any more of this kind of evidence. These people don't know anything about my father's social life and character. George. W. Oyle, Justice of the Peace, had lived in Freeport since 1848 and never saw any indications of in sanity in any of the Guiteau family. Witness was asked if he knew a man by the name of Ainerling, who had testified for the defense. Mr. Scoville somewhat excitedy protested against the unfairness of the Prosecuting Attorney in making a covert attack upon Amerliug, as he had done in the examination of several witnesses. Guiteau shouted 'lt only shows the bad breeding of the man.' Anson B. Bal>cock, farmer, had known L. -W. Guiteau since 1840. Never saw any indications of insanity in him. Never regarded auy of the family of unsound mind. David II Sunderland knew L. W. Guiteau for thirty-six years, and never saw anythiui; to indicate he was of un sound mind in any way, or in any de gree. From his knowledge of and ac quaintance with members of the (Jui teau family, including the prisoner, wituess had never suspected there was any insanity in the family. Guiteau had for some minutes been reading the President's message and suddenly interrupted the Court pro ceedings* to express his opinion upon the document. 'l'm glad,' said the prisoner, 'President Arthur has given these miserable Mormons such a slap. I fiope he will keep at them. It's a good message—has gut the right ring to it, Arthur is doing well, and he is going to give us the best administra tion we have ever had.' Horace Tarbox, of Freeport, was well acquainted with the prisoner's father. 'He had as good a head on him as any man in the State,' and after a slight pause, 'he was the third smartest man in the county ' 'Who was the first ?, quickly asked Guiteau. Answer—Mr. Sweet. Guiteau—Who was the second ? Answer—Mr Turner. ' Well,' said (Juiteau, with a broad smile of satisfaction, 'as they have both been dead a great manv years, ray father waa ahead.' (juiteau waw about to interjectanoth er little speech, when Mr. Scoville en deavored to stop him and was told, 'Don't be punching me under the table, please, when I want to apeak,' and after a short pause, 'I tell you what it is, Scoville, you have got to abandon your theory ; that's all there is about that, lie was a smart man, and every body knew it, only he was badly crack ed ou religion.' Adjourned. REBUTTING EVIDENCE IN TIIE (JUITEAU TRIAL. WASHINOTON, Thursday, December B.—As soon as the Criminal Court opened this morning Guiteau shouted out, 'A crank in Chicago says I talked with hi 111 about this case. I don't know the man. It is false.' Colonel Corkhill tailed as the first witness of the day, Mra. Julia M. Wil son, of JLoadville, Colorado. She'knew L. W. (Juiteau from Her e'arlieHt recol lections—lie was her uncle. Witness gave a most feeling account of the life and character, of her mother, Mrs. Maynard—who" ft haw been alleged by the defense had di6d insane, but who really, died pneumonia' in 'IMMT. I ij-r mother was noted for her lovely disposition and Christian character, and Ijcc virtues are remembered and spoken of to this,day Witness win her nurse and coustaut attendant up to the hour of her death, and never saw the slight est indication of flightiness or insanity. Tie deposition of Mr. Turner was read, iji which he said, 'I have heard her husband say she died insane,' and the witness was questioned in regard to it. Mr. Scoville objected to the reply, 'I never heard of it,' and a lively discus sion ensued between Judge Porter and Mr. Scoville. i Guiteau became enraged at Judge Porter and shouted, 'Now, hold your thunder till you get to the jury, Judge; you are doing this sort of thing too much.' Judge Porter, without noticing the outburst, continued in the most impres sive manner to argue his point, when Guiteau broke in again, 'l'm not acrim ! inal and I won't be till I am convicted I won't have that word. You just hold ; your eloquence till you get at the jury.' Mr. Scoville expostulated with him, but he retorted in a most vicious man ner, 'Shut up and mind your business, [know what I'm doing.' Witness was questioned in regard to various members of the family, and stated pos'tively she never saw indica tions of insanity in any of them. Speak ing of the prisoner's father, L. W. Gui teau, the witness -aid, 'My uncle Lu ther visited me frequently, and I loved him with very tender affection Our whole family were delighted with his lovely Christian character, and such a | thought as that he might in any degree | be of unsound mind never entered my ; head.' Guiteau—Mrs. Wilson seems to be a \ very bright lady, but she is opposed to 1 having it appear that there is any in- j sanity in the family. That's the mat ter with her testimony. The court then took a recess. FURTHER EVIDENCE OF SANITY. After recess, Frank Bartlett, of Chi cago, was called. He knew Mr. and Mrs. Scoville, and had met the priso ner at Mr. Scoville's summer residence in 1878. Witness saw Guiteau daily. Never noticed anything out of the way iu his deportment. The gentlemen there en gaged in a tub race and Guiteau took part. When he upset he was ducked by the rest of the gentlemen and took it in good part. Guiteau again broke out, 'What's that got to with what took place on 2d of July, Corkhill? I had time to go crazy a hundred times since he saw me. That shows what stupid work is being done by the prosecution. If you had to pay for this instead of the tax payers, you would do differently.' The witness—Never saw any indica tions of insanity iu the prisoner. Mrs. Florence R. Bartlett (wife of previous witness) witnessed the dog incident so often alluded to by the de fense, and saw nothing unusual iu the occurrence. She thought at the time that Mrs. Scoville was more excited than the prisoner was, and remembered distinctly that the prisoner, after the dog was hurt, carried food to him and seemed to desire to efface any bad im pression it might huve created. Wit ness detected no signs whatever of any mental disturbance in prisoner. He was always polite and behaved as a gentleman. On cross-examination Mr. Scoville asked, 'Do you remember once at the j table a discussion upon some religious topic arose, and Guiteau took part and j became so violent that they all left j him ?' Answer—No, I don't. Guitt-au—They all got through talk ing, and so they left That's all there ! was to that. 1 think we have had about enough of this dog business. Howard Dunham, of Boston, took the stand, but Guiteau forestalled his evidence by shouting, 'I had desk room with that man a few weeks in Boston, and that's all he knows about it. ft has cost the Government SIOO to get him here.' The witness said that on November 18, 1871), tho prisoner secured desk room in his office and remained there nearly two months, when, as he was behind with the rent, and witness did not like the style of the man, he requested him to surrender his key. The prisoner told him there was no money in the theology autl he was going to practice law. Col. Corkhill then offered a letter written to wituess last June. Mr. Scoville objected on the ground that the burden of proof rests with the Goyernment. The plea of insanity having been set up by the defense, the prosecution at this time intro duce any evidence to establish the san ity of the prisoner. It should have been introduced in evidence in chief. Judge Cox—Well, I overrule the ob jection. Mr. Scoville—l desire to note an ex ception, and generally to all evidence of this kind. Mr. Davidge—From this time out ? Guiteau—Running away back all through the case, Judge. The letter was then read. It was dated Riggs House, June Bth, and con tained a request for a copy of his book, 'Truth,' which he desired should be sent him, as he was getting out a re vised edition. The wituess stated that in all his conversation with the prisoner, through all his relations with him, and his ob servations of his conduct, he never sus pected any insanity in the prisoner. (juiteau—'You thought I was badly cracked on my book though.' Then to the audience he added : 'This man is a Methodist minister. That's what is the matter with him. I did not pay my rent, and so he didn't like me.' The witness then gave the substance of conversations he had had in Boston with J. W. Guiteau, iu which the lat ter had said 'the disgrace of this crime is enough for the family to bear with out endeavoring to prove hereditary in sanity, for there is no authenticated case on which to base jt.' Guiteau (greatly excited) shouted out, 'That's the way he feels, and 1 de sire to repudiate him on this business. He has never been a brother to me in any sense, and that is just the ridicu lous view 'lie takes on this insanity business.' A motm nt after lie s'.outcd angrily, 'That's false. There are two of my cousins in lunatic asylums now, and that's where I'll probably be very soon.' John Palmer, of Saratogo Springs, Lcstiticd that Guiteau boarded a week . with him and ran away without pay ing his board. Guiteau—Well, I might have con fessed that, and saved the Government one hundred dollars. PRESIDENT ARTHUR'S RESPONSE. The District Attorney here sent Judge Cox a communication received by him from the President of the Uni ted States. The Judge, after reading, sent it to Mr Scoville, with the re mark that the paper contained the Pres idents answer to his (Scoville's) inter rogations. Prisoner—l had seut the President a note this afternoon requesting nim not to appear in this case, and saying I did not want his answers to inter rogatories. I presume he seut them before he got my note. Mr. Scoville read the answers of President Arthur to interrogatories. To the first and second questions, whether he knew the prisoner and how often he had seen him, the President replied that he knows him ; that he had seen him at ten times and possi bly twenty times. To the question as to whether he hail anv conversation with him, he re plies, 'None, exceptiug to return the ordinary salutations of the day, and once or twice in answer to his request to be employed in the campaign as a j speaker by the Kepubl cau State Com mittee, of which I was cheirman.' To the question, what political ser vices the prisoner had rendered the Republican party during the last Pres- ; idential campaign, the answer is: 'None | that 1 know of' The fifth question was, 'Whether there was anything in j the prisoner's relations to himself or • General Graut or Senator Conkling, or others of the Republican party, social ly or politically, to furnish him with auy ground for supposing he would re ceive any political preferment,' the an swer is 'No.' Prisoner—That is a matter of opin ion. The last question was, Did you ever give him any reason to think he could have any political or personal influence with you?' The answer is, 'I never did.' Prisoner—He never had occasion to. The President adds to his answers the following: 'I have ln-en requested j by counsel for the defense to produce a letter written by the prisoner since his indictment. That letter was receiv- i ed by me in October last and was not preserved. Ido not recollect its eon- j tents particularly, excepting it contain- , ed some claim ol his having rendered j some important service to the Repub- i lican party during the Presidential campaign and an appeal for the post ponement of his trial to give him time to prepare for his defense.' Prisonsr—That is all there was to it. The next witness was Kev. R. A. McArthur, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, New York. As soon as he was sworn the prisoner remarked, I know Dr. McArthur very well. He is a nice, fine fellow, very high toned in every way. I owe bitu niuety-fivc dol lars.' Witness began to relate how the prisoner introduced himself and wife to him (witness) at the close of service one Sunday, and at the same time pre sented a letter of dismissal from the First Baptist Church, Chicago. The prisoner stated at the time that in Chi cago he had had a lucrative practice of law, but owing to the disasters follow ing the lire his practice bad entirely, or in good part gone, and now he and his wife bad come to New York to start lite afresh. My heart went out to him kindly. I introduced him and his wife to men of prominence in society and in church relations, and I know 1 was of service to him. Mr. Scoville remarked that he object ed to the wituess stating the qualifica tions of some chairman of a committee, not knowing how far he might go into that history. The witness resumed the stand and told of the prisoner and wife being re ceived into tho fellowship of the church, and of the wife later asking urgently for mousy, handing him a promissory note of the prisoner for SIOO. Mr. Scoville Have you got that promissory note ? Witness—No ; I did not think it ne gotiable and have n<>t presented it. [A laugh. J During the political campaign that fall the prisoner was not seen at our meetings so often and the reason assigned by him was (using the phrase that he used) that be bad gone to some degree into politics and that he expect ed ofliee as the result of these political excursions. DEVILIKII DEPRAVITY IN NEW YORK.. Witness (without noticing the inter ruption)— 1 remember be was arrested and thrown into the Jefferson market jail because of some difficulty with a hotel. I saw the prisoner in the corri dor of the jail, and although besought very piteously by him to intercede in his behalf and procure bail for him if possible, I shut out the natural prompt ings of my heart and told him 1 feared he was a bad man, and that ho must allow the law to take its course. In the meantime it came to the knowledge of the officers of the church that he had lioen guilty of irross immorality. Mr. Scoville objected to the evidence as entirely inadmissable and the court sustained the objection. OBJECTS TO BKINLIL NIL OUT HIS PAST UKt'OKD. The prisoner (excitedly) -I never had but one interview with him (allud ing to witness). I recall it now. I was formally excommunicated and let the whole thing go by default, because I was in Chicago. I have been strict ly virtuous for six or seven years. Mark that down You afe picking up my whole record from iufancy, and I say it is an outrage on decency. District Attorney We present this testimony because we want to show that what, the defense calls insanity is nothing more than devilish depravity- It was with some difficulty the ap plause which greeted this remark could lie quelled, and the marshal led out of the court room a lad particularly noisy. The Court stated that upon any recur rence of applause, he would order the room cleared. When order had been restored the i wiluCba resumed aud aaid that it never j occurred to him for a moment that the prisoner was other than sane. Scoville proceeded to cross-examine, • questioning the witness more espeeial !ly as to the fact of his receiving a i promissory note for *IOO from Guiteau. The prisoner throughout the examina j tion on this point kept up a running discussion with the witness, counsel i and Court. The Court repeatedly or dered hiin to keep quiet and allow the witness to speak, but he continued in his denunciation of the prosecution for its 'impertinence in raking up my past record.' Mr. Scoville also became in dignant and angry at the prisoner's outbreaks, which prevented him finish ing his questions and several times de clared to him, 'I will clear out if you don't stop. You must be still; you must be still." But neither the Court nor counsel could repress the prisoner. When the cross-examination was i closed the prisoner, looking up at the clock, announced it was three o'clock and time to go home. He also inquir ed, 'How many more witness like that have you got, Corkhill? I think it is an outrage on the public. If you had to pay some of that money yourself you would go slow.' i Court adjourned. ASSASSIN GUITEAU VERY NOISY AN If MORE INSOLENT THAN EVER. WASHINGTON, Friday, December 9. —The Criminal Court opened prompt ly at 10 o'clock, and l>r. McArthur again took the stand. Guiteau shouted out, 'Your Honor.' Scoville—Keep quiet, please. Guiteau—Well, then, you state it at once. If you don't 1 will. Scoville iheu addressed the Court and objected to the character of the evidence which had been given by the witness, on the ground that evidence as to any other crimes could not be in troduced here when the prisoner is on trial for this particular offense. He de sired all such evidence to be stricken out. Guiteau here broke in excitedly and shouted out: 'lt is purely in the na ture of a confessional. McArthur is not an expert or a lawyer, and I ob ject to his telling the jury and the American people facts which 1 told him years ago in regard to my history.' The Court ruled that the evidence could be admitted as tending to show the general character of the prisoner. Col. Corkhill—Did you ever see anything in the prisoner to indicate in sanity ? Answer—No, sir ; I never did. GLITEAU BOISTEROUS. Guiteau here broke into one of his noisy harangues, and, despite the caution of the Court and expostulations of his counsel, proceeded to express his opinion of Dr. McArthur in terms not at all delicate. Turning to the report ers' table he declaimed for some min utes against the 'scandalous reports' of his character, and singling out a re porter of the Ri juiblica)i , he shook his fist at him threateniugly. ( olonel Corkhill desired the Court to restrain the prisoner, when Guiteau turned to him and said: 'You go slow, Corkhill. You are spotted, and as soon as this business is over the President will remove you.' Scoville cross-examined witness and became very angry and much excited at some of his replies. The testimony in chief was not shaken. W S. Caldwell, physician, treated \i W. Guiteau during his last illness, and never detected any evidence of mental unsoundness. When Geo. W. l'lummer was call ed, Guiteau immediately shouted: '1 owe this man S2O, and it has cost the Government S2UO to me here. 1 think the President's atteutiou had better be culled to the way you are squandering the Government's money, Corkhill. lie might bounce you at once. You will cost the Government two or three hundred thousand dollars at this rate.' Witness allowed the prisoner to oc cupy his law office at Chicago for some months. He seemed to have a good deal of collection business and went iu and out like any busy man. WESTERN WIT. Guiteau continually interrupted, and finally the witness said to him: 'lt seems that your close relation with the Detty of late has corrupted your man ners ' The psisoner laughed heartily at this sally and said: 'Well, that ain't so bad, Plu timer, for a Western man.' 'Did you ever see anything in his conduct that indicated unsoundness of mind ?' was the next question. 'No, sir,' replied witness; 'nothing whatever. Ile seemed to be a man of ability, vain and conceited ; but, then, he had 'late from New York city' on his card, and we expected the rest.' This convulsed the Court. Stephen English, editor and proprie tor of the limit-mice Time*, New York, took the stand— Guiteau called out- 'This man was in Ludlow Street Jail, and I got him out for #.'loo.' Witness gave the circumstances under which he became acquainted with the prisoner, lie said he was iu jail under $40,000 bonds charged with libel, and the prisoner acted as his at torney. Guiteau frequently and noisily in terrupted witness, calling him a liar and perjurer. At onetime he shouted. 'There isn't an insurance man in New York that doesn't know what a fraud you are.' INSOLENT I,.\NOUAOE. Witness ccntinued: 'The prisoner swindled me out of and also swindled many poor creatures in jail by promising to help them, and gettimr their money and then'never raising u linger in their behalf.' Guiteau shouted at witness: 'Why, I would not spit on you on the street, you old scoundrel, I'll get some insu rance men to show you up. You are lying all the way through, English, you old fraud.' Witness was asked if he detected any hijrns of insanity in the prisoner, and replied that, 'en the contrary, he was a remarkably clearheaded, shrewd I lawyer. He completely outwited me. 1 Warren <« Brown, attorney at law, i Now Yurk, wuo couueol for Mrs. Gui- ADVERTISING BATES, One square, one insertion, #1 ; each subse <];ient insertion. 50 cents.

NO. 6 teau in obtaining a divorce from the prisoner He believed the latter per fectly sane. Guiteau (excitedly)—l want to kuow, Corkhill, what all this kind ofevidence lias got to do with the real issue ? Who fired the shot that killed Garffeld; the Deity or 1 ? I thiuk it is devilish mean to takeup my character in all its details. The only issue here is who fired that; the Deity or I? Just take that home. Corkhill, and thiuk it over till to-morrow morning. I want to know what all this has got to do with the question of my sanity or insanity on the 2d of July? As I have told you before, I had time enough to go crazy a hundred times in the interval. GUITEAU OPENS THE BALL. The afternoon proceedings were opened by the prisoner, who, address ing the District Attorney, asked : 'How many more witnesses have you got, Colonel? Can von give us any idea?' 'No,' replied the District Attorney, no definite idea.' Corkhill then read in evidence some legal papers in the case of English against Guiteau. After reading one the prisoner ex claimed: 'That is a square transaction, Colonel That knocks your 'total de pravity' theory on the head.' Charles 11. Wehle, a lawyer of New York city, was then called and testified to a number of claims which the priso ner had collected for one of his clients. When he concluded the prisoner de clared lie would not give 10 cents a bushel for all the claims, and, demand ed to know the amount of claims he had collected Witness The items collected amounted to $585.12. The prisoner fexcitedly)—Do you claim that 1 collected those claims? Is that your business, Mr. w hate ver-y our name-is ? The witness (not noticing the inter ruption)—My client wanted me to see whether or not I could get the money from him. Prisoner—l wanted you to pay me a hundred dollars and take those things off my hands. That was eight years ago. You not would pay a hundred dol lars and 1 would not deliver them up. Witness was constantly interrupted by the prisoner. Witness considered Guiteau sharp, and keen and rational. Prisoner (ironically )-That was eight years ago. It has a great deal to do with this case, hasn't it, Colonel ? You* (shouting wildly to witness) produce those notes (alluding to the notes Weh le said he received from Guiteau) or else get off that stand a disgraced man. If you came to slobber over me you must produce those notes or show your self a liar. (To his sister, Mrs. Sco ville, who was trying to restrain him.) You keep quiet and mind your o*rn business. 1 don't wan't any more talk from you in this case. It makes me mad (violently) to think the prosccu iion should attempt tJ ruin my profes sional character when they know it is a lie. It is a shame that these men, Cork hill and Porter, should slobber over my character. They have been digging up my professional record but they haven't found anything against me yet, and they can't. I was straight in the law business and I want the American l>eo ple to understand it. The only thing against mo is that I owe some board bills and that I committed adultery in order to get rid of tny wife. The Court (sternly)— That will do. The Prisoner—l have got through now. I have made my final speech on this matter. It is a disgrace lor Cork hill to bring in this evidence. The prisoner, while he won deliver ing this tirade, was apparently uuder the control of violent passion. His conduct toward his sister was such that Scoville was obliged to make her change seats with hiin in order that he might be as <'loso as possible to the prisoner and try to repress his violence.'k Cross-examination: , —Did you ever have any conver sation with the prisoner on this sub ject of religion ? A.— No. "No,' echoed the prisoner, contempu ousiy. 'He is a Jew, and a dirty one, at that.' Witness said he was not subpoenaed, and that he catne on a telegram from Colonel Corkhill, having written Judge Porter about what he knew. Scoville—Why did you write Judge Porter ? Witness—Because I thought it was a public duty on the part of any man who knew anything about the case to divulge it. [Applause.] Prisoner ( contempuouslv ) You didn't know anything about it; you miserable .lew. —Have you expressed the opinion . that this man oujfht to be hanged ? A—Not yet. [Laughter]. I came hero for the purpose of having justice done him. [CONTINI KD ON SECOND PAUK.] | Danville (III.)
