Last evening man was placed In
cell near his, who was suffering from
the most violent type OF mania, ause'
by excessive use of morphine, ant
duriug the night his shrlekS ran;
through the Jail Guiteau was yer,
much annoyed. and asked his keepe
what was the occasion for such a riot
The keeper replied: "We've got ;
crazy NAN on oar hands tonight.
"Wel." said Guiteau, "Why don
vou choke him and make him keel
uuiet and not let respectable people h'
disturbed i'll this way by a miserable
lunatiC
Dr. Macdonald again took the wit
ness stand, and was cross-eNamined by
Mr.. Sluvl,.e.
TIE oueslons were directed mainly
to the subject of temporary insanity
and the witness was asked If, in hh
practice he had not met an instance oi
temporary insanity?
He replied eyes sir, | knew Of "A mar
who as insane for "a hours.
Mr.. Scoville (earger.y) And then ht
got we'll
No, sir. He died. Laughter al Mr.
S,oville's expense.
After examining several witnesses a
recess was taken.
After the recess Mr.. ScOville entered
the Court room with the plaster cast OF
Guiteau'S head, which was taken by
Clerk Mills some days since. IL was
examined by the experts, reporters and
others, and created quite a STIR for a few
minutes.
Mr.. Scoyille stated that Mr.. Mills
was present, and, if no objection wa,
raised. it would consult his convenience
to be luJ upon the stand to identity the
cas-.
Judge Porter-It seems to me, your
Honor, that the convenience OF the
prisoner, of his counsel AID Of the wit
ness should be subordinated to the con
venience of the Court and the jury no
have already been detained too long
upon this case.
Judge Cox-Iou may resume the
cross examination of the witness now
upon the stand, Mr.. Scoviile.
Mr.. Srovile then put Hypothetical
question which embraced the clause.
"Supp Sc the prisoner believed himself
to be "A partner with Christ?
Judge Porter arose and protested
against the question as blasphemous
Mr., Scoviile replied thai if 10 allu-
SiouS could be made to what was claim
ed by the prisoner to be the actuaing
motive as Influences led to his act, then
the whole defense would be wiped
away AT a singh stroke.
.ju iEe Porter proceeded to inyist upon
his view, in his most Impressive man
ner, and declared that the time ha
come IN the name OF the American ptD-
rle, and, on behalf of the Government,
he felt il his duty to demand that the
prisoner be remanded to the ock.
Gmteau (spitefu!Ly)-"On, you do,
you bis 1nouthed Porter.
The court officials sitting behind the
prisoner attem ted to quiet him, when
he whlrled around and snarled at one
OF them, "Well, you mind your own
business, or I'll slap you in the mouth,
you to0i, you.
Judge Porter continued his remarks,
and Guiteau again interrupted him,
and shouted out, "Well you mad better
mind your own business"
Judge Porter That is my business
here today, ard, your Honor, must
now insist upon my motion OF Saturday
that the prisoner be removed to the
dock.
Mi SCoville arose to speak, when
Judge Cox said "Let me know first
if counsel desire to be heard upon the
motion 10 remove the prisoner to the
dock
Judge Davidge then preceded to
speak 10 the motion. He believed tn
time had come when t yery ole present
was sati fed that the prisoner was per-
fattly sane III respect OF lis behavior
and amenable to the same rules as
other rSr ners. In the case of General
SickIes, who was tried in this Court
for murder, the Judge refused to
deviate from the rules, although he was
distinguished lawyer and member
of Congress at the lime, and he sat III
the prisoners dock during his trial.
Mr. Scoville said he would assent to
any proposition which might be deemed
necessary. No one had suffered more
than he had from tho prisoners be-
havior.
Guiteau (interrup'irg)-"Well, it's
because you are a jdcka.S on this cass.
i'll had decent counsel shouldn't have
any occasion for remarks. Yeu haven t
OF brains enough for this case"
Col. Corkhill insisted upol the reno
val of che prisoner to the dock and the
removal from around him of the spe-
cial policemen who were not regular at
taches Of the Court; that lie should be
kept in the dock with no other special
protection than is accorded any other
pris0ne:.
Gui,eau trembling with anger or ap-
prehensiOn, shouted ont, "You want to
shoot me, do you, Co1khill? You can I
convict me 80 you want to get me shot.
You might IS well hang me up outside
and tell the mob to shoot at me. l tell
You (raising his voice almost to
shriek) God Almighty would curse
you, sir, if l was put in that dock,
and shot. You miserable wretch you"
Mr.. Scovills, with much feeling, pro.
tested against the proposition of the
District Attorney, which could not be
understood by any enc as other than ali
invitation to all who heard it to shoot
the prisoner, if opportunity afforded.

Judge Porter, in which he repelled the
reflection OF counsel for the defence up
on the District Attorney.
Judge Cox gave his opinion, stating
that no certain measure to silence the
prisoner cou d have been taken that
would not abridge his constitutional
rights, whereas it mad been deemed and
he thought rightly, that the prisoner 5

The prisoner SMILED upon the Judge,
and in the most insinua,ing manner
promised to keep qaiet if allow ed tc
main with his counsel, but Judge Cox
replied: "You wl 60 to the dock be-
cause no reliance can be put upon your
promise"
Guiteau shouted; "rhen l move,
