impcrsonations, onliycned by original
songs, which have often before cOnvulsed
Richmond audiences with laughter.
His finished facial expressions. which
we have enjoyed for years past, fur
nish food for surprise and study that Is
even more remarkable than ever. A sim
pie look, unaccOmpanicd by single word.
is iresistibly funny, and is enough TO cell
forth roars Of unrestrdincd laughter. He
is well supported by a good company. each
member Of which fills very acceptably the
part assigned.
The "Fo Cick :. Skinner" OF Mr.. Harry
Hotto was an especially commendablc i'm
pcrsonation, While Mr. Rich as Deacon
Hardwicke, Mr. Bond ~ Ferguson, Miss
Parker as Hulda Jane Hardwicke, Miss
Bray as "Faith," and Miss Wood as
Phoebe, are each deserving Of favorable
mention.

Resuming, the witness said that Guiteau after
visiting New York, visited her in Chicago; after
that he was admitted to the bar and seemed
quite delighted at having been so easily admitted
he said he was asked three questions and answered
two; he did not give the name of the gentleman
who secured his admission; witness was sur
prised that he had secured admission to the bar
he was married after that, and after the Chicago
fire went with his wife to New York; saw him
again after he had separated from his wife;
witness could not distinctly remember Guiteaus
return to Chicago, with Mr. ScOvlle after having
been imprisoned in the Tombs; knew that he
was boarding around in Chicago in the winter of
1875, and remembered his visit to her family
residence, In Wisconsin, during the summer of
that year; he was different, in many respects,
from what he had ever been before; he was very
hard to get along with, generally in an exalted
or hifalutin state; when told to do ANYTHING he
made more trouble than if he had not attempted
to do it at all.
The witness here related the oft narrated story
of how Guiteau raised the axe to assault her;
witness described the prisoners appearance on
that occasion as precisely like an Infatuated
insane person. At this point (120) the witness
being still under examination the court adj Ourned

GIBSON ONLY DETECTIVE,

A. NJ. Gibson, whose authority to act as special
attorney in the Star-route prosecution was ques-
toned, has written letter to Samuel J. Phillips
Acting Attorney General, reciting the circum-
stances under which he sent his report of the re-
suit of his inquiries into the to the Depart
ment of Justice. Mr.. Gibson adds:
l have to state that on April %, 1881, WAS e1n-
ployed by the Attorney General as special as
slstant attorney to represent the Department OF
Justice and to assist in the investigation and
prosecution of the Star-route cases. 1t Is proper
for me to state that this employment was unsO-
licited by myself L supposed, of
course that the fact that l had been retained was
made of record in the Department of Justice. I
learned subsequently that such was not the case,
although the Attorney General was positive that
he had directed the customary formal cOmmUni-
cation to be addressed to me-
In reply, the Acting Acknowledgement says
that the title assumed by Mr.. Gibson is justified
by nothing npOn the records. There is" he
says, neither commission oath of office upon
the files of this Department, and both are neces-
sary to the creation of an assistant attorney of
the United States. Upon this state of facts must
assume that you have misunderstood the charac-
ter of the agency which you have received from
Attorney General MacVeagh. AS for the con-
tents Of the papers referred to by the chief clerk
by this Department, it will be time enough for
me to consider them when q report shall have
been made to this Department, which has not
yet been done"
Mr. Phillips, in his response, does not address
Gibson as an assistant attorney general.
The annual report of the Director of the United
States Mint shows that the gold and silver re-
ceived and operated upon by all the minis and
assay offices amounted to 1925, 225, 522. 49, of
which 1898 81, 1O1.O OF was gold and S32 S54 42145
silver. This large increase more than fifty mil
lions over the aggregate of any previous year.
was due to a continued influx of gold from
abroad, over s95000G00 being deposited from
that source alone.
