And the Weary Grind still Goes on
Guiteau shoots or His Mouth Again.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Upon the
opening of criminal court Scoville read
telegram from Emory A. StorIs. of Chi
cago, saying he could not possibly at
present, owing to professional engage
ments, come to Washington 10 testify.
Scoville said under the circumstances
he would not insist upon an attachment
for Storrs. DavIdge, speaking for
the prosecution was willing he be
put upon the stand at any time during
the progress of the trial and tins un Ter
standing was accepted by all parties
Thos North then resumed the wit
ness stand and was cross-examined very
closely and at great length by Davidge.
Guiteau interrupted with an oath,
and protested there was no truth in the
witnesses story, The witness was be-
ing questioned in relation to the fight
between GHiteau and his father, Luther
w. Guiteau. He had a good memory
and could remember most everything,
but did not recall any such scene.
just as the witness was released from
the stand Guiteau improved the momen-
tary lull to make the first speech of the
day. He said: 81 notice my friend,
Henry Ward Beecher is doing some
u 0OIA Oh lIltS SdboC" uSSu ~ 1T
tend his church and prayer meetings
and if your honor knew him as well as
do, you would not pay any attention
to him. There are good many people
think he is
BADLY CRANKED SOCIALLY
and have no doubt that Mrs. Tilton told
the truth, and that he lied about il and
tell him SO publicly"
"Oh well, well, prisoner, that will do
for YOU" said Davidge. Guiteau was ap-
parently pleased saying" That's all right,
Judge; have had my say on Beccher
and am satisfied"
General John 4. Logan then took the
stand and was asked:
do you know the prisoner
'Oh, yes, of course, you do, General"
| broke in Guiteau. "You know me very
we'll. I am happy TO meet you again"
The witness had frequently been be-
sieged by Guiteau 10 endorse his aFpli-
cation for an Office but had invariably
declined for the reason that the prisoner
did not seem to be such a man as he
cared to recommend for any Office. He
had never known him in Chicago. The
| first time he ever saw him was when
Guiteau called upon him to secure his
| influence. The general impression he
| formed of Guiteau was that there was
| something wrong IN his mental arrange
| ments.
Edmund E. Smith. employed at the
Republican National committee rooms
during the late presidential campaign,
thought Guiteau very peculiar, fiighty
and rambling in conversation. GuiIeau
here interrupted with his customary
comments: This gentlemen wasn't
in position 10 know about
matters there. He was only a clerk any
way. Gov. Jewell, ex-senator Dorsey
and
THE REST OF Us BOYS
were the ones that did the work there
| John A. Morse, colored attorney al
law, saw Guiteau at the White House
during March and April took him to be
| a crazy man.
Mrs. Scoville then took the stand and
gave brief, but graphic sketch of Gui
teau's life, commencing with his early
childhood. While the direct examina
ton of the witness was still in progress
court adjourned until Monday.

Better Iats Than Never.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25-The summa-
ry action of Judge Cox to-day, though
long delayed, in f0rcibly sitting down"
upon Guiteau and giving him TO under
stand that he could not run the court,
the case, the jury and Witnesses, had a
wholesome effect upon the assassin, who
has been playing his insanity dodge
pretty fine ever since the trial begun,
and not only that, but has made himself
50 insolent and obnoxious by his brag-
gadocio and contemplate selfassertion
that it required ali the self-possessiOn
of those around him To
KEEP FROM KNOCKING HIN DOWN
Judge Cox has been patient and long
suffering,so much so that he has brought
down upon his devoted head criticism
from nearly every possible source, and
in view Of the fact that he has but lily
preserved order in the court room dur
ing the progress of the trial il can hard
ly be said that il has been entirely uB-
deserved. The court room has been as
much OF a circus or negro minstrel show
as anything else, the spectators seeming
IL coming there To be amused, while the
casual drOpper-in could hardly realize,
from the frequent bursts of mcrriment,
tina. the assassin Of the ruler of the first
nation of the globe was
ON TRIAL FOR HIS LIFE.
Never before in the history of this
country has there been such trial as
this, and 10 the thinking men in the
audience the two weeks of its dufa-
ton have been quite as painful as
those two months and half when the
wounded chief executive lay upon his
bed Of suffering and pain. II was an
ticipaied that this would be an occasion
of great solemnity. but it has been the
direct opposite of this. Decency ha:
been outraged, and the finer feelings o.
the nation have been wounded beyond
expression. The idea of the vile and
cowardly assassin sitting there and in
sulting the Judge, jury and counse
without reproof has been CALLING, and
Judge Cox has surprised everybody b
leniency in such matter. After this
however, things viii be different, ant
| Guiteau will nOs be allowed TO falnt hi
insults in the face of the Court withou
paying the penalty of his temerity.

LOGAN INTERVIEWED.

Senator Logan explains in an inter
view: THE first time I saw Guiteau
was in Washington, in March last He
came to my house bareheaded, with san
dals on and without stockings There
was snow on the ground. He excused
his appearance by saying lie lived close
by. He Introduced himself and gave
me u speech on Hancock VS.. Garfield,
requesting as personal favor that
would read it. To get rid of him, said
would do so. The next day he called
again, and alter letting me know how
great and important man he was asked
me what l thought of his speech
[ replied that | had not had time 10
read it. This put him into a rage and
at the same time opened my eyes to the
fact that l was dealing with a crank
To get rid of him | told him that
would read the speech that very night
L did not see him again for several
weeks, when hecalied and presented me
with written application. He said he
intended TO put it on file in the state de

shown it to Secretary Blaine, anC

FoLGER's POLICY.
WASHINGTON, Nov. "a. The New
York Suns Washington special says:
The friends of Secretary Folger an
nounce that his management of the
treasury department will be bold, even
to aggressiveness. They say the new
secretary does not believe in the policy
of locking up the enormous surplus
which the government is receiving day
by day, and that he will put it all out.
of the secretary of the treasury, which
of redeeming the public debt,
is very large, and if Folger is to do
as his friends say he intends to do, this
country may look for a very important
reduction of the debt within a short
time From thirty to fifty millions of
dollars could be used at the present
time for this purpose, without Gripping
the Treasury. So strong has IL been
made by its enormous receipts that
these same persons say Secretary Folger
will not call for bonds but will go into
the market and buy them. Il is under
stood that Secretary Folger has directed
that computation be made by the
Actuary of the Treasury Department for
the purpose of ascertaining at what
premium the Government can afford to
purchase AZ per cent. bonds instead of
calling in the g. per cent. bonds and at
the same time protect the government
from loss.
