TRYING HIM IL ADvAEcE.
There is in Guiteau's confession, so
called. an evident architectural design to
support his contemplated defense of moral
insanity, and no doubt that confession was
conceived long before his murderoUs work.
He killed the president because he failed to
get the Paris consulship, with malice aiOre-
thought, but his egotisn led him to believe
l. Ia
quenccs by pretending n political and re-
ligious fanitacism that had unsettled his
mind. His villainy is il-conceaed and his
confession will deceive no wcll-OrdGrCd in
tellect. The only result his stnpcndous
self-conceit could contemplate as dangerous
TO himself was the anger of the pOpulace,
He felt secure in Il court OF law, where he

ments would find protection as usual, from
disgraceful death upon the galIowS. lie,

mind, and argued that if a gentleman might
safely kill II supreme judge he could as
safely kill Il president. The line must be
drawn somewhere, and IT is best to draw it
on Guiteau.-[Austin Statesman
