ESPECIAL TO THE sENTINEL.l
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-At The opening
Of the Court to-day, after the evidence OF
Davidge, which embraced little of mate
rial importance, was given, Guiteau said,
II notice my friend Henry Ward Beecher
is doing some cranky work in this case. /
used to attend his church and prayer
meetings, and if your Honor knew him as
we'll as I do, you would not pay any atten-
ton to him. There are a good many people
who think he is badly cranked socially. I
have no doubt that Mrs. Tilton told the
truth, and that he lied about it and I tell
him SO publicly"
"Oh, well. we'll, prisoner; that will do
for you," said Davidge.
Guiteau was apparently satisfied. and
nodded with a smile, saying, "That's all
right, Judge; / have had my say on
Beecher; I'm satisfied"
General John A. Logan then took the
stand, and when asked, "Do you know
the prisoner ?"
ooh, yes; Of course you do, General"
broke in Guiteau. "You know me very
we'll, and I am very happy to meet you
again."
The witness had frequently been be-
sieged by Guiteau to indorse his applica-
ton for office, but had invariably declined,
for the reason that the prisoner did not
seem to be such q man as he would care to
recommend for any office. He had never
known him in Chicago. The first time he
ever saw him was when Guiteau called

general impression that he formed Of
Guiteau was, that there was something
wrong about his mental arrangements.
Edmund E. Smith, employed at the Re-
publican National Committee-rooms dur
ing the late Presidential campaign,
thought Guiteau very PECULIAR Eighty,
and rambling in conversation. Guiteau
here interrupted in his customary way.

Mrs. Scoville then took the stand and
gave q biographical sketch Of Guiteau's

Gould a Co.'s Scheme to Capture the
Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Nov. ga special from New
York says: The recent purchase OF the
Evening Express is thus explained by q
gentleman who has had some connection
with the Express establishment: 1t is
ISOLATED Press. It is known that the great
capitalists and ~monopolists have bought
three OF the seven papers In the ~associa-
ton. 1t is said that the fourth will soon
be gathered in. Then the spectators will
have 1t in their power to control the re-
ports Of markets sent ell over the
world by means Of the Associated Press.
They also control the main lines of tele-
graph, and the public will be entirely
dependent upon them for news. There
may be some force in this statement. 1t
is said that John Kelly, just before the
election Of the Directors Of the Express,
got some stock transferred upon which
money had been lent. The matter was
hotly contested in the Courts, and Kelly
finally settled the thing by buying the
three shares Of stock In question for
$50, 900. There are 1000 shares. and the
is to merge the Mail and Express and
publish a penny evening paper.
Why Judge Cox Allows His Court
to be Outraged.
New YORK, Nov. ga World Wash
special says: 1t is said in behalf Of
Judge Cox that the license he allowed
Guiteau is attributed to two motives. One
is the belief in Guiteau's insanity, and the
other q determination that the trial shall
in every respect such that whatever the
result neither the prisoner nor his friends
shall have ground for complaint Of unfair
ness. Rather than have . loophole for
inch complaint. he chooses to allow the
Of the Court to be daily outraged,
md to disregard his duty both to the pros
and to himself. Whatever the
may be worth, 1t Is put ont as
! plausible reason for his federation OF
9uiteau's impudent statement when to-
lays proceedings opened. and for his
unruly behavior up to the
,ecess, consisting Of violent and indecent
Interruption Of witnesses .and repeated
Contempt Of Court, by keeping up his
,abble after he had been ordered to stop.

atoms between the United States and
