there is to handle, to sift, to grind.

THE BOSS CLOWN.
Gaiteau as Smart and InsOIsnt
as Ever.
"AlWays0 Been n High Toned
Christian Man."

WASHINGTON, December l6.-The
Prosecuting Attorney was late in
reaching the Criminal Court this
morning, and Guiteau improved the
opportunity to make one of his little
speeches ito put in time" Looking
over to the vacant seats he said with
chuckle: II understand that Gen.
eral Reynolds is sick this morning l
wonder if Corkhill is; guess they got
more than they wanted yesterday. It's
about time for COrkhill to get sick and
stay sick"
George D Barnard, Deputy Clerk
Of the Supreme Court of Kings county,
New York, took the stand to prove the
divorce Of Anna j. Guiteau from the
prisoner. The witness presented the
record of the court and the order Of
the Judge for his witness and attend
ance here Scoville objected
to the admission of the
papers upon the ground that they
were not certified to by the Clerk Of
the Court as required by act of Com
gress. The Court overruled the OBJ
lection, and admitted the papers as
originals in the case. The papers set
forth the granting of absolute divorce
on the ground of adultery, no en-
swer having been made by defendant.
Guiteau referring to the women
named with whom he had committed
adultery, said:
This woman Jennings was a high
toned woman in New York. 1t was
purely matter of business with US.
| committed adultery with her to get
rid Of woman / did not love. +
thought it much more moral than to
live with her and have children year
after year. have been strictly vir.
tuous man for six years past, and have
always been high toned Christian
man."
Scoville desired to note exception
to the admission Of this evidence.
Guiteau, with impatience, said
Oh what is the use
of quibbling over that? l admit my
marriage and my divorce. l don't
care for that. can get married any
where outside of New York State, and
for that matter, in New York, too.
Under the new law there, if man
lives a strictly TirtuOus life for six
years after being divorced the courts
will let him marry again. Why, Il
could get married in New York to.
morrow if wanted to.
General Reynolds was called, when
Guiteau at once brokein petulantly,
saying; II hope you will cut off Cen
eral Reynolds, and not waste any more
time on him. He has told all he
knows about this case and a good deal
more"
Scoville cross examined the witness
Guiteau frequently interrupted, con-
tradicted and insulted the witness.
At one time he shouted out
II would have been hanged one
hundred times last July but for the
national troops, and all through your
lying to Corkhill. I'm going to get
even with both Of you, too"
Witness explained that when he
visited Guiteau his trial had not been
