PORTER'S SPEECH.
STARTLING PORTRAYAL OF THE ASSAS
SIN AND HIS CRIME —THE DEFENSE
TORN TO TATTERS.
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. Chris:*, speak

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.
