sCOvILLE,s LECTURE
Last Night on the "GuIteau CaSe"-Sym.
pathy Expressed for Him,

WASHINGTON, December l4.-Mr. George
sCoville, brother.in.law and counsel for
Guiteau, lectured tonight on the "Guiteau
Case" Although n large number oitiCkets
were sold the audience was small, but
heartily applauded the lecturer Mr.. SEQ.
villo promised his lecture with tho re-
mark that he had not the least inlen-
ton OF rejecting oil the Court or en-
deavoring to affect tho trial In my
way; II was to public opinion that
he desired to address himself, without
endeavoring to extenuate the crime OF
create feeling in favor OF tho prisoner.
Ho complained that the press had not the
disposition to give that force and consider
alton to tho defense which had been inter
posed which ought TO be given. Not only
the press but the pulpit had prejudged the
case. The pulpit condemned Guiteau on
the assumption that he was u sane man,
and yet not single minister OF the Gospel
had called on the prisoner In his cell and
not single letter was sent by them to him
as sane man calling on him To repent and
turn TO God. [Applausc.l
Nineteen.twentieths OF the letters re.
celved by Guiteau are threats against his
life, and not more that two or three
brcathed q Christian spirit lie criticized
the action 9of Judge Davis In recent
murder case in New York for going out.
side Of the case, and instructing the Jury
In Guiteau's case, and giving as law what
Judge Cox would not give II he (Scoyille)
were not mistaken. Applause.
In the course OF his remarks the speaker
said he was satisfied he had good reason to
think, and good reason 10 believe, the
prisoner would not live until the conclusion
Of his trial. He (Scoville) was here to sec
that Guiteau had fair trial under the
forms OF law, but he was not here TO guard
tho prisoner with troop Of soldiers. Lei
the responsibility rest where II might, he
gaYe this warning and he knew whereof he
spoke. TWAS not for tho life Of this man
be gave y, but because he wanted to sec
order prevail, and because he did not want
the American people disgraced by having
man on trial for his life asSassinated like
q dog.
The greatest peril 10 the prisoner was hil
passage from the court room 10 tho prison
van, and he pointed out the danger that
some desperate man would stab the prisoner
with dirk and escape without detection.
II was not the prisoner alone who was on
trial; the question Of capital pun
ishment was on trial, for he
predicted that should Guitcau BE-
hanged and post InUrtem examination
prove him TO have been insane, 1t would
be almost the lust case OF capital punish.
ineht In this country.
AT the conclusion Of the lecture scoville
was appauded and resolution adopted
expressing sympathy with the family oi the
prisoner and complimentlng Scoyille OH the
case.

Democrats Mad Because He got Ahead

WASHINGTON, December l4.-The Demo-
Gratis in Congress don't relish the idea Of
Sherman getting credit as the author Of the
three per cent legislation. They claim that
all the glory Of this belongs to tho Demo.
crats, and that but for Sherman the bonds
would have been funded year ago at
three per cent that Sherman induced
Hayes TO veto the three per cent bill Of
the Democrats, and Republican ad:
ministration funded at three and q half
per cent, and thereby imposing a burden
OF one.half per cent mere than Is neces'
sary upon the country. The Democrats
will be careful not 10 antagonize the prin.
ciple OF the three per cent bonds, but they
will oppose the Sherman bill, and they in.
gloves. They will show his connection
With the veto of last year, charge him with
being responsible for compelling funding
at a higher rate Of interest
than was necessary. The Democrats
will endeavor 10 kill Sherman's bill
in order that Randall's or Carlisles, from
the House, may become law. Both Randall
and Carlisle, who were the originators Of
the three per cent funding bill that was
vetoed, intend 10 introduce new bills, and
Carlisles will contain clause requiring
National banks 10 deposit the three per
bonds as security for their circulation.
Senator Hill says that Sherman's bill is
loosely drawn, and that II is q fraud, and
AZ Il gives holders Of bonds option 10 hold
them or fund them at lower rates Of inter
est. The Democrats are determined to
make q stubborn fight for the credit OF
getting II through this legislature, and they
say there are Republicans IN Congress
who will help 10 put Sherman down.
Senator Cockrill, Of the subcommittee to
investigate the expenditures Of the contin.

JEFFERsoS CRY, No, December IA
The Supreme Court Of this State has Just
decided case which covers leading points
in the case Of Guitoau. Joseph Katoysky
became Jealous ot Augusta Simon, ot whom
be was enamored, hid himself in fence
near the house where she was employed,
and when she was returning at night shot
and killed her. The only defense In the
case was insanity, and the proof offered
was to show 0 general derangemeat oil the
mind, rather than specific weakness
Of the will before powerful influence.
In passing on The plea two members
OF The Supreme Court held that a man
might clearly know The difference between
rigRt and wrong, but be 30 subject to an
impulse driving him TO the wrong that he
could not be deemed Ctiminally liable for
his actions The majority Of the court
held that the only test oil insanity is q
knowledge Of the difference between right
and wrong Counsel for the prisoner
could not deny ptetneditation, as The pfis.
oner bought his pistol several days before
the murder was committed, but did deny
that there was delibefation In the crime,
the prisoners state OF mind making lelib.
Grafton impossible. The Supreme Court
held that II The prisoner was 80 insane
that he could not deliberate, he could not,
therefore, ptemedilate. Deliberatlon and
premeditatlon imply essentially The same
mental process. The rulings of the lower
Court were sustained.
