The Guiiteau Fam,iy-wI,at a Brother
Has 10 Say.
NEW York, July 13th.-John Wilson
Guitteau, brother of the assassin, gives a
short family history in the Boston Herald
lie denies that there has been insanity in
either his fathers or mothers family, except
the single case of bis fathers brother, who
died in an insane asylum from remorse at
having killed rival in duel. He has but
little personal knowledge of his brothers. life /;
thinks he was to certain extent insane
whether insane to the extent of not
knowing the moral character and effect of
his own act or of losing the power TO restrain
his Grin inal intentions if he had any desire to
do 60, will undoubtedly be properly investi-
gated, in the light of all the facts, by the
proper tribunals. He resents the deed
as mcst atrocious, foul and bloody
murder, and e crime against the nation
and the progress of Christian civilization
throughout the world. He concludes as fol-
lows: respectfully, and in deep humilia-
tion and sorrow, request the prayers of all
who know God in spirit and in truth, that the
Father may cause my brothers darkened un-
derstanding to be opened that the evil spirit
which now possesses him may be cast out,
and that he may in true penitence and sorrow
turn, while he yet has life, to the God whom
his father rnnther and bic f,r
many generations have loved and wersbiped. -
