TRYING THE ASSASSIN.
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

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.
