WASHINGTON, December 1.-The morn.
Ing session OF Guiteau's trial was devoted
TO the examination OF citizens Of Freeport,
H., In behalf OF the prosecution. The eyi-
dence Of these witnesses was that they had
known Guitcau's family and did not regard
L. W. Guiteau Gather Of the prisoner) rs
insane; also, that they believed the other
members OF the family were sane.
The fact that but few OF the twenty or
thirty experts summoned for the defend
ant gave in their testimony, e.scites some
remark, and 1t is said that nearly all Of
them came TO the conclusion that they
could do Guiteau no good by their testi-
mony. A few experts had interviews with
Guiteau Monday afternoon, but none Of
them appeared yesterday on the witness
stand. District-Attorney Corkhill Il quoted
as expressing the belief that the trial will
not last more than week longer.
