tbipk should have something to say in

think should have something to say Tn the matter"
 It was arranged between counsel that the Presidents answers should be put Tn as evidence at any stage of the trlal, and Scoville called General Sherman
 General She man identified letter
 written by Gaiteau, and said he sus-
 pected all the time that there might be conspiracy, but afterwards concluded the shooting was an act of one man.
 As be left the stand Guiteau said: "l | thank you, General, for having ordered out those troops that day. If 1t hadn't ! been for you l would not be here to-day. | I owe my life and protection to the and which you and Gen. CrOcker gave me | during that peuod when the riot spirit was rife" At this the General smiled | grimly.
 Edward H. Barton, a lawyer, 4. T.. l Green and c. W Fandie, all of Freeport, | H., testified that they knew the Guiteau family and considered them all sane.
 WASHINGTON, December S.-When the | Criminal Court opened this morn <, Guiteau shouted: A crank Tn Chicago says talked with him about this case. I don't know the man. It is false" Col. Corkhill called as the first witness, Mrs. Julia M. Wilson, of Deadville, Colorado. | She knew l.. W. Guiteau from her ear | Hest recollections, He was her uncle. | Witness gave a most affecting account | of the life and character of her mother, Mrs. Maynard, who, as alleged by the defense, died insane, but who really dled | from pneumonia in 1856. The deposl- | ton of Mrs. Turner was received, In which sheIsaid: "I have heard Mrs. May nard's husband say she died insane" and witness was questioned in regard to 1t. ScOville objected to the reply: "I never heard of it. and lively discussion en- sued between Judge Porter and ScOvllle. Guiteau became enraged at Judge POr- ter and shouted, Now hold your thun- der until you get to the jury, Judge; you are doing this sort of thing too much" Judge Porter, without noticing the out break, continued in a most impressive manner to argue this point when Gui- teau broke out again: am not q criminal and won't bo until convicted; l will not have that word; you just hold your eloquence until you get at the jury" ScOville expostulated with him, still he retOrted in the most vicious manner: Shut up, and mind your business; 1 know what l am doing"
 WASHINGTON, December 9.-The Grim inal Court opened promptly at 10 o'clock and Dr. McArthur again took the stand. Scoville addressed the Court and object ed to the character of the evidence, which was given by the witness on the ground that the evidence as to any other crimes could not be introduced when the prisoner is on trial for this particular offense. He desired all such evidence stricken out. The Court ruled that the evidence could be admit ted as tending to show the general char acter of the prisoner.
 Corkhill-''Did you ever see anything in the prisoner U indicate insanity"
 Answer-"No, sir; I never did"
 Guiteau here broke into one of his many harangues, and despite the warn- ing of the Court and the expostulations of counsel proceeded to express his opinion of Dr. McArthur in terms not delicate. Turning to the reporters ta- blc he acclaimed for some minutes against the scandalous reports of his character, and singliug out the reporter of the Republican shook his fist at him threateningly.
