ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The Criminal
Court opened promptly at 10 o'clock, and
DR.. Macarthur again took the stand. Cult
eau shouted out, "Your Honor
Scoville-"Keep still. please"
Guiteau-"well, then, you state it at
once; if you don't 1 will"
Scoville then addressed the Court, and
objected to the character Of evidence on the
ground that the evidence as to any other
crimes could not be introduced when the
prisoner is on trial for this particular Of
tense. He desired all such evidence
stricken out.
Guiteau here broke in excitedly, and
shouted out, "It's purely in the nature OF
q confessional. Macarthur is not an ex-
pert or lawyer, and 1 object to him telling
the jury and the American people facts
which l told him years ago in regard to
my history"
The Court ruled that the evidence could
be admitted as tending to show the gen.
eeral character Of the prisoner.
Corkhill, TO witness-"Did you ever see
III I'LL AL tAC III lbOACI W uulCd Ii
s~anity?"
Witness-"No, sir; I never did"
Guiteau here broke into one of his noisy
~harangues, and despite the cautions of the
COURT and e~xpostulations of counsel, pro-
ceeded to express his opinion of DR.. Nc
Arthur in terms not delicate. Turning to
the reporters table, he acclaimed for some
minutes against the scandalous reports OF
his character, and singing out a reporter
of the Republican, shook his fist at him
threateningly.
Scoville cross-examined the witness, and
became very angry and much excited at
some OF his replies. His testimony in
chief was not shaken.
w. s. Caldwell, a physician who treated
L. w. Guiteau during his last illness,
never detected any evidence Of mental un-
soundness.
George W.. Plummer was called.
Guiteau Immediately shouted: "I owe
this man $40. but it has cost the Govern
ment 5000 to get him here. / think the
Presidents attention should be called to
the way you are squandering Government
money" ITO CorkhilD. "He might
bounce You at once. You will cost the
Government two or three hundred thou
sand dollars ct this rate"
Corkhiil desired the Court to restrain
the prisoner, when Guiteau turned on him
and said; "You go slow, Corkhill. You
are spotted, and as soon as this business is
over the President will remove you"
Witness allowed the prisoner to occupy
a desk in his law Office at Chicago for
some months. He seemed to have q good
deal of collection business, and went il
and out like any business man.
Guiteau continually interrupted, and
finally the witness said to him: at
seems that your close relations with the
Deity, of late. have corrupted your morals"
The prisoner laughed heartily ct this
sally, and said: "Well, that amt bad,
Plummer, for a Western man."
