What DR.. Hamilton Said.
DR.. F. d. Hamilton, OF New York, who was
summoned to the bedside Of the President, said
to reporter before he started to Washington:

Guiteau's BrOther-in.Law.
WHAT he SAYS ABOUT THE AssAssIE-AN IN
TKRvIEw AT THE JAIL.
District Attorney Corkhill paid a visit to the
jail yesterday afternoon with Mr.. Geo. Scoville,
OF Chicago, brother-in-laW of Guiteau. Scoville
had q long interview with Guiteau, in which
the latter made statement. Scoyille says that
he believes Guiteau insane: he was morally
deficient, but was never given to Justification;
he was satisfied that he had no accompltces:
Guiteau stated that the matter came
to oela him as revelation from Cod SIX
party. He complained bitterly that the papers
he had prepared had been withheld from the
people. He said he had not given moments
attempted to kill the President On account of
any malice or ill-feeling but for the good OF the
country; ne had told the hackman to take him
to the Congressional Cemetery as that was
to tell the Ounce to take him directly to
the jail; that he thought he had klllei
the President Or he would not have quit
firing; Guiteau, Mr.. Scoville stated, had high
idea OF his own Importance. He said to Scoville
he did not know but that MacVeagh had some
feeling against him. and therefore had refused
0red Emory A. Storrs for Attorney General: that
he never had handled or shot pistol before;
that after he got 1t he went down to the river
bank and pIacticed with 1t; that when he fired
1t of it made such loud report that he did not
practice any more. He had always been tnof-
1ensive. except IN one instance. when he had
years ago; the family then had consultation
about putting him In the asylum, but gave up
the idea, as that was the only Instance OF his
violence known. AT the bottom OF all his strange
behavior he has deep vein Of religious ferVor.
he has been insane on religious subjects for fit-
teen years. At one time he proposed to start
religious paper, which was TO be revelation to
the religious world. He got out the prospectus,
and that was the end OF the scheme.
