Washington, Nov. 26.-Upon the
opening of the criminal court Scoville
read telegram frem Emory A. Storrs.
Of Chicago, saying be could not pos
sibly at present, owing to professio ional
engagements, come to Washington to
testify. Scoville said. under the cir
cumstances. he would not insist upon
attachment for Storrs.
Davidge, speaking fol the prosecution,
was willing to have Storrs put upon the
stand anytime during the progress of
the trial. and this understanding was
accepted by all parties.
Thos. North then resumed the wit
ness stand and was cross examined very
closely and at great length BY Davidge,
Guiteau interrupting at the very outset
and protested that there was no truth
in the witness story (witness was being
questioned relative to the fight be-
tween Guiteau and his father). He
had good memory and could remem-
Der most everything, but he did not
recollect any such scenes. just as the
witness was released from the stand,
Guiteau improved the momentary lull
to make the first speech of the day. He
said: I notice my friend Henry Ward
Beecher is doing some cranky work on
this case. used to attend his church
and prayer meetings, and if your honor
knew him as well as do you would
not pay any attention to him. There
are good many people who think he is
badly cranked socially, and have no
doubt that Mrs. Tilton told the truth,
and that he lied about it, and / tell him
so publicly.
Oh, well well prisoner, that will do
for you, said Davidge.
Guiteau was apparently satisfied and
nodded with smile, saying: That's
all right judge, have had my say on
iBeecher; am satisfied.
/ Gen. John A. Logan then took the
stand and was asked:
Do you know the prisonerp
Oh, yes; OF course you do general,
broke in Guiteau., You know me very
well. I am very happy to meet you
again. -
Witness said he had been frequently
bssieged by Guiteau to endorse his ap-
plication for Office, but had Invariably
declined for the reason that the prisoner
did not seem to be snch man as he
would care to recommend for any Office.
He had never known him in Chicago.
The first time he ever saw him was
when he (Guiteau) called upon him to
secure his influence. The general i'm
preston Reformed Of Guiteau was there
was something wrong in his mental ar
rangements.
Edmund q. Smith, employed in the
republican national committee rooms
during the late presidential campaign,
thought Guiteau very peculiar, fiighty
and rambling in conversation.
Guitean here interrupted in his Gus.
tomary manner. saying: This gentle
man wasn't in q position to know about
matters there, He was only clerk,
anyway. Gov. Jewell, ex-senator Dor.
sey and the rest Of US boys were the
ones that did the work there.
Thos. A. Morse, colored, attorney
at-law. saw Guiteau at the white mouse
during March and April; took him tc
be crazy.
Mrs. Scoville then took the stand and
gave biographical sketch of Guiteau'l
life, commencing with his early child
hood. When Charles was IL years OLE
