dication Of insanity
Henry M. Collier, an attorney of New York,
took the stand and testified in regard to the
prisoner collecting S175 and failing to pay it
over.
During the examination of the witness one
of the jurors complained of sickness and the
Court adjourned.
On Thursday, Mr.. Collier took the stand
again and concluded his testimony. He testi-
fled that lie had never detected any signs of in
sanity in Guiteau and in his opinion the pris-
oner is perfectly competent to distinguish be-
tween right and wrong.
j. NJ. Justice, lawyer of Logansport, In
diana, met the prisoner in 1878. The prisoner
was selling little book-the life of Moody.
Guteau interrupted, saying the witness was
mixing him up with somebody else.
The witness continued, but Guiteau inter-
rupted him and wanted to know if he could
identify him as the man.
Witness 81 think CAM
Guiteau: "Can you swear it -
Witness 81 can.''
Guiteau "You are liar, sir a miserable
liar. That's the best way to dispose Of you,
sir"
The witness, continuing, said the prisoner
remained in LOgansport three weeks selling
the book.
Guiteau continually interjected his abusive
comments and finally shouted out You mis-
cradle whelp, to come in here and make me
out a book agent. l was preaching the gospel
and sold my own productions" In few
minutes, turning to Scoville, he said: "Oh
cut this fool short. He is lying all through.
Don't waste time on him.
On Friday Mrs. Dnsmore, Guiteau's di'
vorced wife, took the stand. But few ques.
tions were asked her by the prosecution, and
in reply to one of them She said she had never
noticed any signs of insanity while she lived
with him.
Guiteau, with sigh of relief, thanked
Corkhill for the sake of her children and said
it was the only decent thing he had done on the
trial, but suggested that Porter and Davidge
had compelled him to do so.
The cross-examination was long and tedious
and at it's conclusion the Court took recess
Owing to the death of Mrs. Hobbs, wife Of
one of the jurors, the case was postponed from
Friday to Wednesday, yesterday.

ag A Boston dispatch Of Saturday says {:
The committee appointed to investigate the
conduct of the 9th Massachusetts regiment
during its recent trip to Yorktown find that
offenses cited as simple intoxication. disobe-
dence of orders, and unsoldierly and ungen-
tlemanly conduct, are true against twenty
members of the regiment, but that according
to the testimony of the officers and soldiers,
the more serious charges of stealing cheap
iewelry, insulting white girls on the street,
Striking horses and carriages, and mlsbehavior
at Libby prison, have not been substantlated.
Orders have been issued by the commander:

TILE ASSASSINATION TRIAL.

The trial of Guiteau is still progressing, with
Il probability of continuing a month longer, If
it does not come to sudden stop on account
of the sickness of jurors, two or three of whom
have been quite i'll during the past week. The
testimony elected in the proceedings OF
last week was almost entirely relative to the
alleged insanity of the prisoner. The defense
introduced witnesses, unprOfessional men who
had known Guiteau at different times, and eX-
perts, who testified to his insanity while on
the other hand, the prosecution produced testi-
lnony of contradictory character.
The cross-eXamination of Dr.. Spitzka, an
expert in behalf Cf the defense, was concluded
on Wednesday. lie had no hesitation i'll pro-
nouncing the prisoner Il moral imbecile, or
rather a moral monstrosity. Inthe conclusion
of his cross-eXamination he said: 81 do not
hesitate to reiterate my opinion that the eX-
pert who will in this Court testify that the
prisoner is sane, is in my opinion no expert, or
Il dishonest One.'
The first witness examined on Wednesday
was Dr. John l.. Withrow, of Boston. He re-
Lated the incidents concerning his meeting
with Guiteau in Boston. Guiteau called OH
him in 1879 and requested permission to lee
ture i'll his (wtnesS) church III reply to lnger-
soil. Witness declined to have his church
used for that purpose. He thought Guiteau
possessed unusual cuteness and never saw any
indication Of an unsOund mind.
The trial was suspended for few minutes
to allow Il sick juror to step out. Guiteau
took advantage of the opportunity to make a
little Speech in which he said the object of the
testimony was evidently for the purpose of
showing if he knew right from wrong and that
had nothing to do with the case. The only
question was whether or not his free moral
agency was destroyed when he was impelled
upon the President
Charles A. Bryan, of the Equitable Life IN
surance Company, was the next witness. and
related the connection of Guiteau with his
company. and said he thought him a pretty

s-" at is salaughable mistake" said Senator
Wade Hampton to reporter in Washington,
"that one of my daughters will soon make her
debut on the stage. Some Washington paper
said that my daughter would this winter
make her debut in society, and some unso-
phisticated, but clever hearted country edl-
tor enlarged on the item, and made 1t ap,,
pear as prospective debut on the theatrical
stage. That is all there is in the rumor."
The lady referred to is Miss Mary, the eldest
unmarried daughter of the Senator from
South Carolina. Her beauty, grace and &C.
complishments warrant the prediction that
her debut in Washington will be most graf
living one to her honored father and the
many friends Of the family.
