chuckle, he said: "I understand that General
Reynolds is sick this morning" He went on:
81 wonder If Corkhill is. I guess they got
more than they wanted yesterday. 1t is about
time for Corkhill to get sick and stay sick"
Guiteau. referring to the woman named, with
whom he had committed adultery, said: ''This
woman Jennings was a heightened woman in
New York. 1t was purely q matter of business
between us. / mmit adultery with her
to get rid of the woman l did not love. 1
thoughti 1t O much more moral course than to
live with her and have children year after
year. l have been strictly q virtuous man Tor
six years past, and always have been q high
toned Christian man.
Scoyille desired to note an exception to the
admission of evidence, but Guiteau cried out
with impatience: ooh, what's the use Of
%quibbling over that, 1 admit my marriage and
divorce. 1 care for that; can get married
again anywhere outside of New York State,
and for that matter, in New York too. Under
the new law there, if a man lives q strictly
virtuous life for six years after being divorced,
the Courts will let him marry again. Why. l
could get married in New York tomorrow II l
wanted to-"
General Reynolds was called, and Guiteau at
once broke in petulantly, saying: 81 hope you
will cut of General Reynolds, and not waste
any more time on him. He told all he knew
about this case, and a good deal more"
Scoville cross-examinsd the witness; Guiteau
frequently interrupted, contrad1cted ana ins
suited the witness, at one time shouting out:
Z" would have been hung q hundred times in
July last, but for. the national troops, and all
through your lying and Corkhilps. I'm going
to get even with both of you, too"
Witness explained that when he visited
Guiteau his trial had not been arranged. Pres
ident Garfield was still living, and he (wit-
ness) had no thought Of being subpenaed as
awitn ess.
you iie," shouted Guiteau. "You came
into my cell as a spy in the employ OF the Dis
trict Attorney"
General Reynolds read from the notes he had
taken on his first interview with Guiteau.
quoting the prisoners words as he read: "If
there's q stalwart in the land, l am he. Grant,
Conkling, Logan and Governor Cornell are big
guns among the stalwarts, and l rank with
them"
Guiteau-I never said 1 could rank with
them. but, as a matter of fact, 1 think / can.
A number of newspaper slips, which witness
had read to the prisoner at these interviews,
to show him what were the sentiments OF
Grant. Conkling, and others. in regard to his
(prisoner'st crime, were then read by the Dis
trict Attorney. When the letter of Gen. Grant
was read, in which the writer, speaking OF
Guiteau, said, my son tells ne he is a dead
beat" Guiteau became very angry and shouted
That Is what Fred. Grant says. He's q nice
pill, isn't he; him hanging around his father.
l should say he was a bigger dead beat than l
am"
Another passage was read, which spoke of
Guiteau's crime as "a most sudacious act"
Here Cuiteau interrupted, saying: "And so 1t
was, to enter that depot and shoot down the
President Of the United States, surrounded as
he was by his friends. l have wondered a good
many times how l ever did 1T. l thought to
myself this morning that I would not under
take 1t again for a million dollars. but / was
in such a desperate state Of mind that I could
not resist 1t. I was impelled upon the Presi-
dent by a power / could not resist"
Ellen O. Grant was called. Guiteau shouted,
MRS. Grant is a lady. I boarded with her
prior to the LIST of July. She is . very fine
lady. and I owe her SAT. 1 trust I shall pay
you soon, Mrs Grant, as these fellows holding
fat offices shall respond to my call. Striking
the table excitedly.) / made them. If they
don't soon contribute I shall call out their
names In meeting"
witness-I never suspected that the prisoner
was insane.
Mrs. Anna J. Deenmeyer, Guiteau's divorced
wife. was then called, when several ladies
uneasily In his Beat, and looking angrily to-
ward the audience, cried out. There won't
be any smut on this examination; ladies need
not go out. They have no business to put this
woman on the stand, unless CorkhiIl wants to
stir up filth. I say 1t Is an outrage on decency
for Corkhfll to drag this lady in here, and
have her character ripped up as 1t will be.
corkhill ought to be shamed Of himself. He
Is worse than an old hog. I appeal to the
Court to intercept this Infamous action Of
Corkhflls. Arthur ought to kick him out. I
made Arthur President, and I have . right to
demand that he shall put some reputable law

Very much to the surprise of every one, but
two or three questions were asked the witness,
and her statement In reply to the last question
was, al never saw any signs Of insanity in the
prisoner while I lived with him as his wife"
This closed her examination by the prosecu.

auiteau. with q sigh Of relief, said TO Cork.
hill: THANK you. Mr.. Corkhill, for the sake Of
her children. This is the most decent thing
you have done in this trial. I expect, however.
that Judge Porter and Davidge insisted on 1t,
and they are both supposed to be decent men,"
Then. turning to Scoville. he said, Nov, cut
this short. and let's have something else"
The cross. examination OF Mrs. Deenmeyer
was tedious and wholly fruitless. As she left
the stand Guiteau shouted after her. al have
not seen this lady for eight years. 80 far as
know she 10 . high-toned Christian lady, and ]
have nothing against her. I wish her well In
whatever station she may be-"
