The examiner., 1881-12-10

s;oss out sng7ily: "Wvhy,r ,,..s said bo.tas he,

 knew they'd say: sHes disappointed
 office seeker; hang him at onoe:'" "Oh. you l expected that, did you ?" said Judge Porter ln l his blande>t and most insinuating tone. Gui- l teau seemed to see that he had made fatal 1 ip. 'But knew it would be all false P he
 shouted, angrily. "But you expected 1tF | persisted Judge Porter, still bland, yet with 8
 more menacing intonation. | "Ya-as, I expected it." said Guiteau, with
 his favorite Bnarl, now angrier than ever:
 The other admission referred to Was & statement which closed the cross -examinattpn. | Judge Porter gave to it dramatic effect He 1 had been questioning the assassin upon the in cidents of the shooting Then folding his l arms and fixing his dark eyes full upon him, ] Judge Porter said, with slow, impressive utter ance: "And from that day to this you have | never felt remorse for the deed? ?" Guiteau 1 tried to escape from the query. He shifted about restlessly in his seat and his eyes, which 1 were lowered, ran backward and forward along l the top of the witness-box. He seemed to l shrink from looking at Judge Porter Being pressed hard for an answer he finally replied, l throwing angry and furtive glances at the
 cross-examiner, "Why, of course felt re-
 morse so far" "'That is all." said Judge
 Porter, gravely, sitting down I sThe os eross .so | mistake as soon as he had made it, and | Judge Porter did not get his words out of his mouth before the assassin was pounding on the front of the witness box and hotly explain l ing that his remorse was only regret for the necessity of the act. It was an impressive and significant ending to the long cross- -examlna- ton. Guiteau was followed on the witness
 stand by Dr. Alexander Neil. of Columbus, Ohio
 who testified that when he saw the prisoner three or four years ago he thought him l lunattcs z.-
 was Colonel J. O. R. Burnside. disbursing off of %ho tv1n vrhn fQCfJ Qd
 that he was frequent visitor at the Guiteau
 residence in Freeport, ILL, and that he then
 understood that Mrs. Guiteau Was insane; l Charles G.. Allen, of Carthage, Mo-, United States marshal for the western district of Mis- souri, next deposed that he visited the Gui- l teaus at Freeport, ILL, and before Julius was l born Mrs. Guiteau was 8 confirmed invalid. l Hon. Emory A. Storrs, of Chicago, next testi 1 fed that he knew the prisoner by sight; the l prisoner approached him in New York on the l street and handed him his business card; saw
 him at various times during the presidential l campaign around the Republican headquarters
 in New York. Prisoner had given witness cop- ies of his (Guiteau's) speech, which witness | had read, and thought curious production. 1 The next time witness saw Gulteau was 1n l Washington in April last, when he told him he l was going to have the Paris consulship. Wit | ness was impressed that prisoner had an lily l balanced mind, or what is usually called "lack 1 of good, common sense." MT. Scoville then l took witness over the ground about which he | l the Republican party. Mir. Storrs said his | faith in the rank and file of the Republican
 party was such that the trouble" would not
 have disrupted that party: Mr. Ed Daniel, of 1 religious views, and the impression was that he
 was crazy; didn't think much of that, as he l (witness) had been called insane. The names l of Speaker Randall Senator Bayard and Presi- 1 dent Arthur were next called, but hone of
 these witnesses appeared, and MT. scoville, to | save time, read number of newspaper slips
 found on the prisoner at the time of his cap l ture. Guiteau, who had remained quiet all l tracts confined his inspiration ''It is said
 the Brooklyn Eaqle used to publish about 8
 column and 8 half each day in the same strain, !"
 broke in duiteaus while MT. Scoyille was l the Chicago Inter Ocean, of June 12. The
 prisoner then fell back in his seat, and, with his head resting on his left hand, listened at
 tentively to the reading. During the reading
 prisoner said: s' At that time Beecher was
 supposed to be in favor of Garfield" Vice. 1 President David Davis was the next witness.
 In answer to a question. he said he did not be-
 long to either party. He had general knowl-
 edge of the political situation last year, but did
 not go into the caucuses of either association. He could not say he was acquainted with the
 trouble in the Republican party last year; had
 not heard of the disruption of the Republican
 be disbanded until the Democratic party died. Continuing, the witness said he
 did not believe the success of either party would
 imperil the republic. AS the witness left the
 tions and being answered in the negative,
 walked out with puzzled air-dr. Scoville
 saying that the object of his testimony would 1 appear in the argument Mir. D. A. Bailey, stenographer of Colonel Corkhill, testified that
 he took tho notes from which the Herald inter
 view was published and received $500 for 1t !;
 was introduced to the prisoner by Colonel Cork 1 hill friend. Guiteau here broke in: You | got the intervir1 r1 under false pretense that you was Herald reporter, or you would not have l got it." Guiteau here addressed the court and
 read 8 list of witnesses whom he desired 1 subpenaed, as follows: President Arthur Secre- 1 tary Blaine, Senators Logan, Conkling, Platt, l General Grant, James Gordon Bennett, White
 law Reid, George Jones, Charles A. Dana, W.
 H. Huclburt George O.. Gorham, stilson 1 Hutchins. W. P. Nixon, of the Chicago Inter Ocean, and files of his paper of May and June
 The court without minimizing whether the wit
 nesses would be subpenaed or not, told Mr. Sco- l vile to proceed with his letters.
 On the eighteenth day public interest in the l trial was unabated, and the courtroom was l crowded notwithstanding 1t was the opening l day of Congress. The following eight doctors, | who have made study of mental diseases, l were called bv the defense Doctors J. G..
 Riernan, Charles H. Nichols, superintendent | of the Bloomingdale (New York city) insane l asylum Charles Folsom, of Boston Samuel | Worcester of Salem, Mass; W. W. Golding,
 superin tendent Of the government insane asy- l lum at Washington; James H. Mcbride, of l Milwaukee; Walter Charming, of Brookline, l Mass; and Theodore ". Fisher, of Boston, 1 A hypothetical question, in which the points ! relating to the prisoners mental condition as
 set forth by the defense, including the insanity
 in his family, and his alleged belief that he 1 acted upon inspiration, wore assumed to be
 true, was read to the foregojng and they were l asked whether upon the state of things 1 they thought Guiteau was insane. Seven of
 them replied that if the propositions were true l the man was insane. Dr. Worcester would not
 express an opinion, because he wanted a
 clearer explanation of the word inspiration than
 MT. Scoville gave him. Guiteau constantly
 ,nterfered in the proceedings. He began by
 saying that he wanted the experts to pass upon l the question whether when man claims he is
 impeled to do an illegal act by power beyond l him he is sane or insane He showed & pretty clear understanding of the testimony given, and
 once pointed out how well it fitted his case. As | usual he was sensitive on the question of his | mental powers, and was angry when
 a witness spoke discouragingly of his Gar 1 field speech, declaring he would rather be 1 hanged as a sensible man than acquitted | as fool. He was also attended by 8 que estion
 implying that he was a vulgar criminal. There
 was nothing vulgar about this case, he ex-
 claimed it was all high-toned. At the end of i the days proceedings, when MT. Scoville an-
 nounced that he expected to have President l Arthur as 8 witness Guiteau insisted that | General Grant, ex-Senators Conkiing and Platt, 1 ex-Governor Jewell and others should be called l to show what was the political situation before
 the assassination. He also suggested that
