Guiteau pounded upon the desk and shouted
out: "That is just what that little whelp

Witness stated he read to the prisoner what

showed him some papers in which (Guiteau,

(prisoners) comment was that the true facts
had been suppressed, and he had not had any
defense.
Witness continued: "He asked me, refer

several times: Most astounding. Most as

Guiteau then broke in and said with sneer,

AFTERNOON SESSION.
Immediately after recess Gut ;au ap lounc,
ss he had little speech to make, and said:

since the trial began. It hiss been suggested
that shall charge twenty fse cents for them

thousand dollars. 1t was noble act and I
approve it. Now I want them to give me
some. demand it the name Of justice and
right"
Col. Corkhill introduced In evidence an ap.
plicst;on made BY Guiteau ten days ago for
q policy OF LIFE insurance, IN which the pris-
oner answered in the negative the question !:
"Has there ever been any insanity in your
familY?"
Gen Reynolds continued "At my second
interview with prisoner he wrote an address to
the American people, which has since been
published, and handed 1t to me with the re-
quest that have it published"
The original draft was then introduced and
was read by Col. COrkhill, with occasional
by Guiteau, who followed the read
ing with the closest attention.
When the word "inspiration" was read,
Judge Porter arose and called attention to the
fact that this was the first announcement Of
"inspiration" as defense for the murder, and
that it was made on the 18th Of July, after
the prisoner learned that Arthur, Grant, ,Conk-
ling, and other stalwarts, that he expected
would shield him, in reality l0athed him and
abhorred his act. at is . lie, Mister Big.
mouthed Porter" shouted Guiteau.
Scoville protested against this style Of ar
gument to the Jury, and demanded that Judge
Porter should withdraw the remark.
Judge Porter-"I shall not withdraw one
word shall say uron this trial"
A number Of letters written BY Guiteau
since his Incarceration were read BY the distrlc'
attorney, and were offered in evidence to dis
prove the theory OF insanity. After the rea,
ing was concluded Guiteau turned to the
district attorney and enquired: "Where are
the rest of my letters, Corkhill, that you
think the American people
ought to know what q miserable sneak you
are"
Scoville questioned witness (Gen. Reynelds)
until the hour OF adjournment. "Have you
always been on good terms with the prisoner?"
asked Scoville.
"Yes," shouted the prisoner. 81 always
considered him my personal friend, and be
proved himself mean, dirty scoundrel. A
nice record you'll have, Reynolds, to come
into my cell to get information to hang me -
Scoville questioned witness closely, and
finally received the answer that the govern
ment paid him for his expenses while he was
having these interviews.
Gutteau-"HOw much?"
Scoville quitting out his hand)-"You keep
quiet" :.
Gulteau-"Well, then, ask him how much
he got. You take an hour to get out Of him
what could learn in ten minutes"
Sc0ville asked witness how much he re-
ceived, and the reply was "Eighty.fve dol
lars"
Guiteau-"Three interviews. Well, that's
pretty good. About $50 day for lying.
That's more than Corkhill earns, but then
he'll get his reward down below In the next
world"
The cross-examination became rather tedi-
Gus, without eliciting anything new or mate
rial, and Guiteau protested frequently that
the time of the court should not be wasted BY
such 'sloose, zig.zag sort Of talk" Finally
with great importance he shouted: "Oh,
say your aunt Was your uncle. 'Twould be
sbout as sensible al your questions. You are
most rs stupid as Cerkhill. Come, your
nor, let's 60 home" Court adjourned.
