WASHINGTON, Dec. 15th.-As
soon az the Court was called to or
der Gaiteau addressed the Court
and said: II want to make a little
speech. It will be a great misfor-
tame II anything should happen to
this jury. They are very honest,
intelligent men, and I want the
best care taken of them. There
are some Of them who are not ac-
customed to good, wholesome food,
and consequently they are liable
to have indigestion. I want the
Court to order them cut every
morning before breakfast for a
walk, four or five miles. I have
two or three more little speeches to
make, but this will do fer the pres
ent." Judge-"The Court will at
tend to the wants of the Jury"
Collier, the recalled witness, said
he never detected any signs of in
sanity in the prisoner. Scoville
began to crOss-examine the wit
ness, when Guiteau, in great rage,
shouted: II never saw this man
but once in my life, and that WAS
In 1875. I never saw him but five
minutes. What does he know
about me? This shows just how
little sense you have got. Corkhill,
to put up this man as an expert.n
To Scoville: "And you haven't got
common horse-sense, to waste time
cross examining his character. He
was only clerk in q lawyers Office
The witness, in re-
spouse to COrkhili, stated: "In my
opinion at the time I knew him he
was perfectly competent to distin-
guish between right and wrong"
