small fortune in humbug stuff. Six months

The Star to-day publishes an interview

about Guiteau. Crocker said, speaking of
Guiteau, ethere has been no event in his
life during the past week that is worthy of
mention. He eats, sleeps and wakes up
like every other prisoner. No one has
come to see him from the time he was
brought here. No one has manifested any
friendly interest in him. He does not seem
to have any friends. His brotheTSin-law
was here, but be did not appear to fake any
spec 3etefnst In him. There was no an
imosity SHOWN, however. If his mother,
or brother or any of his friends came to
see him, would let them see him just as
| would do in the case of any other pris-
oner. The only people who have been
here to see him are those who have come
out of mere curiosity. Guiteau is as quiet
as any other prisoner. He seems to have
made up his mind to patiently await the
result. He has not asked for lawyer; he
has not asked to see any one. | asked
him if he wanted lawyer. He said, 'sno,
