WASHINGTON, January 24—As soon as court opened Judge Porter was about to begin his speech, when the prisoner forestalled hiru and calltd out from the dock, 'I desire to say that some crank has signed my name to a letter that appeared in the papers this morning. It was without my authority and I repudiate it. I also want to say in r.egard to a couple of cranks which I understand have been arrested for hanging around here, that if they undertake to harm me they will be shot down I want every one to understand this.' Judge Porter, who had paused to permit this preliminary announcement, began by saying that the prisoner, as usual, had made the opening speech. After thanking the court and jury for their consideration yesterday, which had made it possible for him to appear before them to-day, Judge Porter said. THE DEFENSE A SHAM. 'This whole defense has been a sham and imposture, an imposture which was supposed to have gained a strength of -credence from reiteration. The truth asserted by this defense is that truth uttered with effrontery, enforced by persistency and reduplicated by reiteration. This is the truth which they assert in opposition to that truth which you are to ascertain and declare. In my remarks o;' yesterday I showed vou how the prisoner has belied, by his acts, his profession ; how he has belied, by his acts, the character given him by his counsel. I showed you that he had been a liar, a swindler, a murderer at heart from the beginning. That this man has grown worse every year of his life we have all seen and know.' Guiteau—That's all bosh, and you know it, Porter Judge Porter continued to depict the character of the prisoner and the fallacies of his defense, when Guiteau again and again interrupted him, at one time calling out, 'Attorney General MacVeagh wouldn't have anything to do with it.' Judge Porter, half replying to the prisoner, said, 'And this Christian gentleman would have j'ou even be lieve that Attorney General Mae- Veagh had dipped his hands in Gar field's blood.' Guiteau—Ob, that's very fine. A moment later, allusion having been made by Judge Porter to the present Attorney General, Guiteau bawled out, 'He's a high-toned gentle man, and you're a winebibber. I have got your record, Mr. Porter.' Judge Porter (with deliberation) — Well, perhaps I am. Guiteau (with a drawling accent) — Well, I guess you are, Mr. Judge Porter. Continuing, Judge Porter said, 'This Christian gentleman, who prays every night and every morning, would have you believe I am a winebibber.' With great effect and impressive ' earnestness of manner, Judge Porter emphasized by an anecdote which he related the distinction between a spirit of love and a spirit of woe, the latter being expressed in the life and charac ter of the prisoner. THE KILLING OF GARFIELD. Returning again to the crime and its commission, Judge Porter said— Who killed Garfield ? Guiteau—The doctors. Judge Porter—The doctors? Guiteau—Yes, the Lord let them do it to confirm my act. Judge Porter—Secretary Blaine was responsible ? Guiteau—l said morally responsible. Judge Porter—Mr. Blaine saved his life on that night before the murder simply by his presence with him as they walked together. He might l ave saved his life ou that fatal 2d day of July, but from the fact that the mur derer stole up from behind. Then Blaine is morally responsible for not preventing the crime. The prisoner confessed that Mrs. Garfield's presence with her husband on a former occasion had prevented him from shooting. He was asked if Mrs. Garfield had been leaning upon his arm instead of Mr. Blaine 011 that fatal morning, would you have shot him ? and he answered, 'no.' Then Mrs. Garfield is responsi ble for her husband's death, according to the fallacies of this wretchedly fallacious defense. Referring to the oratorical flight of the counsel for the defense when he painted the President's widow at her daily prayers, praying for the acquittal of the prisoner in the name of justice, Judge Porter in burning language showed up the profanity and inconsis tency of such assertions aud rebuked the assumption of the man who bad never exchanged a word with Mrs. Garfield in presuming to credit her with such monstrous sentiments. OLITEAU'S RESPONSIBILITY. Continuing, Judge Porter said: ,Who else is responsible? John 11. Noyes, he is responsible. He killed Garfield, John H. Noves, from whom the prisoner stole bis lecture.' Guiteau—That is false. I rely on my own brains for my productions. Judge Porter—Who else? His father is responsible. That father whom he struck when eighteen years old. He killed President Garfield— that father, whom he says he can never forgive, and with whom he had not for the last fifteen years of his honored life exchanged a word. Who else is responsible ? Why, the mother; 1 the mother whom he scarcely remem bers ; who was guilty of the montrosi ; ty of having an attack of erysipelas so as to necessitate the cutting off of her hair some weeks before bis birth, and 1 who for this reason, it is asserted, transmitted congenital insanity to the murderer. Who else is responsible? Why, Uncle Abram, who was drunken and dissolute, but not insane He transmitted insanity to him, although he did not become insane until after he (the prisoner) was born. He killed Garfield by making the prisoner iusane. Who else is responsible ? Why, Uncle Francis killed Garfield. Uucle Fran cis, who, as we are told, being disap pointed in love, either killed the hus band of the woman he loved or fought , a sham duel, and long after became de mented lie killed Garfield by mak ing this man a congenital montrosity, as Dr Spitzka says. Then cousiu Ab bey, she is responsible, who unfor tunately was taken possession of by one of this Guiteau tribe, a traveling mesmerist, and her young mind so wrought upon that finally she was, fjr better protection, sent to an insane asylum. She killed Garfield by mak ing this murderer insaue, and as if all this were not enough to kill President Garfield. Guiteau—There's enough to kill your case according to you own show iug. SWINDLER AND HYPOCRITE. Judge Porter—Why, the Chicago Convention killed him. It they h idu'c nominated him, I should not have killed him, says the prisoner. The doctors killed liitn, for if he had not been chosen President he would not have been killed. His nomination was the act of Gjd. His election was the act of God, says the prisoner, and he would have us believe that the Deity, who had thus twice confirmed His choice, found it necessary to cor rect His labors by appointing this wretched swindler, this hypocrite, this syphilitic moustrosity to murder the President, whose nomination and election lie had confirmed. These are the defenses put forward by this pris oner aud his trained counsel to divert your attention from the fact that the deliberate murderer of Garfield sits there (pointing at the prisoner) But even this is not enough. The press killed Garfield and the press is ar raigned by the prisoner, and without indictment the press is found Ruilty of murder. But fortunately they are found guilty only by the blistered tongue of the murderous liar himself. AN ASSUMPTION DENIED. Judge Porter denied the assumption of Mr. Reed that President Garfield thought Guiteau insane, and quoted from conversations with h's doctors to show the weakness of the assertion. Alluding to President Arthur, .Judge Porter asserted that he was Garfield's successor by the same force of legiti macy as was Garfield himself. Uuiteuu shouted, 'Made so by tbe inspiration of Guiteau, and don't y6u forgot it, Porter.' lleplying to the taunt from the prisoner, .Judge Porter described him as s'ippery as an orange peel, and venomous as a rattlesnake, and speak ing of the act of murder, said this was a rattlesnake without a rattle, but not without fangs. 'I might,' said Judge Porter, "detain you a week, but I am here for#the purpose of ascertaining whether this man is guilty, and these collateral is sues I will not delay upon. The junior counsel, said Judge Porter, has told you you were kings, implying that you may override law and evi dence in grasping an almost intangible doubt, and ignoring the solid structure of evidence of guilt. You. are not kings, and the man who told you so is the junior counsel, the only man in fitty millions who would or could rec ommend Guiteau for office A THRILLING PICTURE. Referring to Reed's suggestion about Mrs. Garfield praying in behalf of the prisoner, Mr. Porter said: 'lmagine what sort of scenes these are that coun sel thus brings up. Imagine the aged mother of the President coming before you, draped in black. Imagine, according to the old custom of Euglish laws, the trial taking place in the pres ence of the corps of Garfield, mutilated by the murderer, wrapped in white linen, through which it was supposed the mere approach of the murderer would start the blood to flow. Imag iue Garfield lying there—not one of the clavicles of his backbone, but the 'whole man, cold in death, with the death sweat not even yet dry on his brow, with the expression of agony whitli this prisoner put there, and with the cowering assassin yonder shrinking from approach to the body, which was required by the old process of the bier rite. Imagine the aged mother, who had looked to that son to close her eyes in death, bowing with grief at the coffin head, with Mrs. Gar field, whose lips were the last that touched the cold lips of the President, sitting at his feet in dust and ashes. If in such scenes Mr. Charles H. Reed stood up and said the woman who seems to you to be kneeling only to God in her sorrow, is k reeling to God in prayer that this murderer may be dealt with leniently, what would you think of it? It is well for us all, gen tlemen, that the law does not call upon jurors to leave only the immortal part of their nature—their moral nature— outside of the court house, when they come to administer justice.' THE ,»<<BABSIN BROUGHT TO BAY. After recess Judge Porter resumed his argument, and pointed out the cun ning, the duplicity, the acting of the prisoner since the beginning of the trial. 'You are, gentlemen of the jury, no more kings in respect of law tbau is the prisoner In the dock, who sits uncrowned, save with his own couceit.' Referring to the oft-repeated asser tion that he had sent Garfield prepared to meet his God, and he (Guiteau), too, was ready to die if God willed it, Judge Porter said, with deliberate em phasis, "I do not believe in all this as semblage, there is one soul that con templates with such abject terror the possibility of faciug his Maker as does this brazen murderer.' Guiteau whirled around with the fe rocity of a wild beast, and fairly yelled, 'That's a miserable lie, and you know it, Porter, and you are an infernal scoundrel. I hope God Allmightv will send for you soon—both you and Corkhill. Such a miserable stinking whine as that is.' 'The law,' said Judge Porter, 'as it bears upon this case, is supreme, and you are but simply God-made men, under the obligation of a solemn oath, to bring in your verdict under the law and the facts.' Summing up tbp questions presented bv the ca*e upon which they were soon to be called upon to pass Judge Porter j said : ' 'The first of the questions for you to [ consider is. was the prisoner insane on the id of Jnlr ? If he was not the j ea?e is at an end, and your sworn du- I tv is ended. 'Second, if you reach that. If he was iusane on that day, was he insane j to that decree that on the 2d of July he did not know that murder was mor ally and legally wrong? If he was not insane to that decree, you are | bound under your own oaths to con vict him. 'Third. If in utter disregard of his coufessions under oath, you shall find that he actually and honestly believed that God had coiurnauded hiiu to kill I'resideut Garfield, and that he was under delusion, unless you find the further fact that such delusion disabled him from knowing such act was moral ly and legally wrong, you are bound under your oath to convict him. 'Fourth. II you find such delusion did not exist, that God commanded him to do the act, and that such delu sion was the sole product of insanity, tbeu, aud then only, you cau acquit him, when you find he was unable to con trol his own will, and you must re member that under oath he has sworn he was able to control it, for he said, 'Had Mrs. Garfield been with him at the depot on the 2d of July I would not have shot him ' 'Filth. If von find thatevea though he was partially insane, it resulted from his malignity, his own depravity, vet still you are bound, under the in struction of the court, to convict him 'Sixth. If upon the whole case you have no reasonable doubt whether he was partially or wholly insane, if you believe that he knew his act was legal ly aud morally wrong, you are under your oaths, bound to convict him.' 'The law,' said Judge Porter, 'is fouuded upon reason, and it must not be saitl that an American jury shall override the law aud establish a prin ciple which will let murder aud rape aud arson run riot through the land.' THE LICENSE OF INSANITY. Mr. Porter theu went on to discuss the points of law as laid dowu by Judge Cox in this case. After he had dis posed of that question he took up again the question of the responsibility of the prisoner. 'What household,' he said, 'would be safe, what church would protect its worshippers if this man were to escape on the plea of irresponsibility ? Is it true that any man who has had an in sane cousiu, an insane uncle, an insane aunt, an insane ancestor, and who is not, himself, insane, but kuows per fectly murder is legally and morally wrong, is to escape punishment ? May he stab, or shoot, or waylay, or murder in any form by day or by night, and then claim, iu his vindication, not that he is insane himself, but that Bomel>ody else was? If so, what is human life worth ? Nay more, if it were true that every iusane man, no matter in what degree, no matter whether from melan cholia, or from any of those casual or occasional aberrations of mind, is at liberty to commit burglary, to fire your dwelling house, to set the city of Wash ington on fire, when frost shall stiffen water aud when fire is destruction, to ravish your daughter, what security is there ? That is the license for which this brother-in-law of Guiteau contends, namely, that the law is iutended only for rational men aud that all of those crimes may be committed by license, uot from law, but from one of the twelve emperors or kings in defiance of law and of instructions from the court. Nay, more, the insane of this country (I mean the undoubted insaue, who are inmates of the lunatic asylums,) are to learn from the verdict in this case (if the theory of the defense shall be sustained) that each of them is at liberty to murder the keeper who re strains him ; that they are all at liber tv to confederate to open the gates of the asylums and go out, knife and torch in hand, and spread ruin and conflagra tion iu every direction, aud although the law forbids it, an American jury cau be found that will sanction the act." The prinoner—that is very fine, bui it is all bosh. Judge Porter—More than that, any man who has insanity in any degree shall be at liberty to murder any other iusane man. I believe if a jury could be impanelled in a lunatic asylum in this country they would say of this man, not only that they would be en dangered by his presence, but that he is perfectly sane. 'WAS Ot'ITKAU INSANE? 'Was this man insane on the 2d of July? If he was not, you have but one duty, end that is to convict him. He was not insane. I aver (what this proof indisputably establishes) he never was insane; aud certainly not on the 2d of July. On that point the principal claim by the prisoner and his counsel is the atrocity of this particular act. Ido not deny his claim of being the most cold-blooded and savage mur derer of the last six thousand years. But he is not alone, as he will find when he comes to those realms where murderers are cousigued. Murder has existed in all ages. Four thousand yeas ago there was inscribed on tables of stone a command to all people, 'Thoa shult not kill.' Hut Uuiteau savs that life is of small consideration. He says in oue of his letters of conso lation to the widow, 'Lifo is but a fleet ing dream. His death might have hap pened at any time.' But the lawgiver of the universe entertained different views on the value of human life when he said, 'Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed.' The prisoner—That was three or four thousand years ago. We have new laws since then. Jud&d Porter—And that man in the dock tells you the same God that placed that value on human life, placed no value on the life of James A. Gar field, and that as to that life, it wus but of small value ; it was 'a fleeting dream.' We have had the gospel of Uuiteau, and be thinks that this jury will indorso bis gospel.

NO. 11 Abraham '. but ye are children of your father, the devil, who was a murderer from the b"giuuintr.' The prisoner—That takes you in. Porter. Judge Porter—That is the insanity which this man has inherited. The man is a liar as well as an assassin, and he was instigated not by the Al mighty, but by the devil.' The prisoner (alluding to Porter's habit of lowering his voice at the end of a sentence) —The point is so fine that I ctnuot hear him over here. You had better do it again, Judgef Porter went on to review the prisoner aud his life of crime, in which he included adultery. The prisoner—How many times have ycu been guilty of that? Look up your record, old man. I guess yoa are about as bad as Corkhill. Judge Porter went on to refer to the prisoner's life iu Washington, 'and asked, 'Was this temporary mania, Abrahamic mania, a disease of the brain which resulted in murder for the benefit of the Stalwarts of the Repub lican party ?' " he prisoner—For the benefit of the American people A removal, not murder. They are very well satisfied with it, too. Mr. Porter —Gentlemen, if I went no farther, do you believe that this man's brain was diseased ? I deal with noyhi'-g else now. Was his brain diseased ? aud did the disease come iin.l go according to whether President Garfield went out alone, or went ont with his wife, or went out with his children, or went to the Soldiers' Home, or went to the railroad depot? Do you believe that the right remedy for disease of the braiu is to make six wcckV preparation for an assassina tion, an i that shooting another man through the spine is a cure for the spine, is a cuso for the disease ? That is the care as the prisonsr makes it out. The prisoner—lf I were President of the United Slates, and had ruined the Republican party, as Garfield had, I ought to lie shot. That is my opin ion about that; and is the opinion of a great man)' people, too. In the course of his further argu ment, Judge Porter referred to the prisoner's divorced wife as a woman who loved him. Tho prisoner—l did not lore her. It was a one-sided affair. Judge Porter—The woman who married him. The prisoner—That was a swindle. Judge Porter—The woman who slept with him. The prisoner—Sometimes she did and sometimes she did uot Judge Porter—The woman who borrowed for bim and who gare the earnings of her industry to furnish him with money which he spent on a street prostitute. The prisouer—That is a lie, and a big one. Judge Porter—The woman whoso divorce was secured by his procure ment, by all sorts of deceit, meanness and ignomiuy. The prisoner—l had co business to marry her at all. Judge Porter—Ho and bis prostitute were witnessess to aid him in remor ing his wife. The prisoner—All that happened ten years ago, and has nothing to do with this case. Judge Porter went on to argue against the claim of the prisoner's in sauity, and while he was looking for an extract in the testimony the prison er took advantage of the pause and said, 'That gives me time to say I am iu receipt of a letter from New York, in which the writer says be has con versed with two huudred and fifty in telligent people about my case, and that all of them a.e of the opinion the Almighty inspired my act. I have also a letter from a prominent lawyer in Maryland, who says I will go into history by the side of Grant and Washington. That is their opinion in this matter.' Judge Porter, referring to the testi mony of Mrs. Scoville, paid her a com pliment as a sincere woman, and said she had never noticed insanity in the prisoner until the time when he raised an ax upon her, when be was thirty five years of age. The prisoner—That never occurred. Judge Porter—Your sister swore it did occur, and she is a woman of truth; while you have committed perjury. The prisoner—That is a matter of opinion. . Judge Porter—She came into court with unbloodied hands, aud she went out of it as she entered it, an honest woman, believing what she asserted. I lifted no ax against this sister. Ha did. There is his own siste/*, tho only one who has stuck by hhn faithfully anu honestly. She .tells yon honestly the first time she thought bim fnaana was when he was thirty-five years of age. She says, 'I had not thought be fore that he was not in his right mind.' The prisoner—Tho letters that I get show the American people are solid for me. Do not forget that, Porter. Further reference by Porter to the incident of the ax brought from the prisoner tbis remark: 'lt was a very stupid thing for Scoville to bring in that ax matter at all He might have known the use the prosecution would have made out of it. That is about as smart as the Scoville family are. The whole thing is bosh from beginning to end.' Judge Porter went on to criticise the teatimony of Reed, of Amerling and of North. He said it would take a thousand Norths to make him believe Luther W. Guitean, that calm, quiet, religious man, ever said to the old fath er aud old mother who had an only son that did not want thorn to go to the Oneida community, 'take a knife and slay him as Abraham did Isaac.' At this stage of Judge Porter's ar gument the court adjourned. [.Vtclusou Chatnpion.J No Benefit. An Indiana newspaper, thus writes; Mr. Geo. F.
