WITNESS WHO KNEW GUIrEAu WHEN SANE.
A telegram from Albany, NY, November II,
says: "Rev. DR.. Magee, of this city, is Of the
witnesses summoned in the case of Guteau. In
conversation to-day he said: do not know what
my testimony will amount to. 1t certainly is
surprise to me that have been SubpRnaed. can
only say that when I knew Guteau, ten years
ago-and the acquaintance only extended during
three weeks, in which saw him daily-I never
saw anything about him that was not perfectly
consistent with sanity. AS conversationalist he
was much beyond mediOcrity. He may, however,
have become insane since that time; that is for
others to determine When l knew Guiteau he
was certainly Sane.'"
