IN JAIL.

"This is hell" said Guiteau peevish-
ly, as he paced up and down his five by
eight cell yesterday. He asked the guard
to tell him whether the president was
dead or not; II alive still, what were
the chances of recovery. No reply was
made. He then declared that he would
not tell anymore to any official, who
should visit him until he should be al
lowed to see the papers. There is gen
eral commendation ofthe course pursued
In regard to Guiteau. What he would
like would be that newspaper reporters
should have access to him, that his
opinions and doings should be spread
abroad and that he should be allowed
to feed his love Of notoritly by gloating
over the papers daily. Instead Of this
no information is allowed to reach him,
and no n allowed to visit him, save
the law officers Of the government and
district. This seclusion is the worst
punishment that could be inflicted upon
him and he chafes under it. A COM
pany Of artillery is stationed inside of
the jail wall and an officer is constantly
on guard in the corridor in front of
Guiteau's cell. One of the deputy war
dens is also there constantly, but they
are forbidden to speak to him. They
are placed so that they could see and
Illustrate any attempt at suicide or es-
cape. There is no possibility of his
breaking out, or Of a mob breaking in.
The outer wall Of the prison is three
feet thick, within that is a corridor 10
feet wide, then comes another three
feet Of masonry, and inside of this are
the cells. The cell he occupies was
formerly occupied by Percy Brown the
grave robber, who is now serving a
term for Matchmaking. When Guiteau
arrived, Brown was removed to another.
While Brown was in the cell, he orna-
mented the wall with pictures cut from
illustrated papers. Above the door is
motto which reads with the inscrip-
ton: "Be faithful" In the upper part
of the wall, alongside of the bed Is a
wood cut representing General Wash
ington and bis wife; below it is a good
sized wood cut of Garfield and cartoon
from Puck, representing the president
and the cabinet getting into a tally no
coach. All these pictures were in the
cell when Guiteau entered 1t. Guiteau
received the same treatment as the rest
OF the prisoners. His prison cot is
Furnished with a straw mattress, two
blankets and a pillow. Every person
isreQuired to keep his cell in order.
He leads a very humdrum life, but prob
ably gets better meals than he averaged
on the outside and certainly he has to
make less shifts to get them. At nine
p. m. the gas is turned of and the
lights in the cells go out, when there is
nothing for him to do but go to bed.
BE eats and sleeps well. There could
be no severer punishment to a person of
his depraved mind and perverted feel
ings than the seclusion and ignorance
In which he is kept. His egatism and
