is GUITEAU INSANE ?

The Chicago Times in very able ar
ticle on insanity, concludes with the fol-
lowing summing up of the reasons for
disbelieving the prisoner, Guiteau, as
acting under It's influence:
The examination of the murderer of
Garfield has furnished no proof of the
alleged insanity of that malefactor; but
has furnished ample proof that the pris-
oner has Mt no time been bereft of the
faculty of reasoning upon the subject of
his alleged delasion. al think you
have remarkable power of brain;
appreciate your ability" said the
prosecutor. The prisoner responded
with an expression of pleased vanity
81 thank you, judge, for your good opin-
ion" With a significant change of tone
the prosecutor said: II think that is
the opinion of every juror" Instantly
the prisoners manner changed, and he
said excitedly: ~ take my chance be-
fore this court and jury on the fact that
the Deity inspired the act. am not a
fool, and the Deity never employed q
fool to do his work" Nothing the pris-
oner could have said would have shown
more plainly that he perceiv-
ed the relation of the prosecu.
tors second remark to his defense of in.
sanity, and his ability to exercise his re-
markable power of brain on that sub
iect. If he had not possessed power to
reason on the subject of his own alleged
insane delusion, the relation of the pros.
ecutor's remark to his possession of il
could not have excited the instant exer
else of that power, as it did.
That the prisoner, as part of his pre-
vious arrangements for committing the
murder, meditated the plan of escape
from the fury Of the populace, devised
means of being quickly taken to Jail, re
quested his captors to hasten his lodg
ment in that refuge, and expressed
feeling of relief when he found himself
safely inclosed by strong walls, are al
| facts totally inconsistent with the theorJ
that he was incapable of reasoning upOI
the (alleged) belief that he was the chos
en- lntruments of the Deity not TO murde

the issuing of the proclamation the To

the gubernatorial view Of the situation. It
says: "In the absence of statutory direc-
tions, the governor, as we understand it,
plants himself squarely upon his "su-
preme" authority as head of the execu-
tive department, and proposes TO exhaust
every possible appliance in discharging
his duty to "see that the laws are faith
fully executed" He could do no more,

upon the subject of his alleged inspirs-
tion. He believed lac was inspired to
remove" the president, he says. He
proves that reason said 10 him: what
you are about 10 do will be u crime,
against the consequences of which the
Deity will not protect you. You cam
not depend ON the Lord. You had bet
ter look to General Sherman and the po-
lice" There was here a delusion which
the murderer could not or did not eX-
anime by the light Of reason.
On the 18th OF June. the prisoner, di-
vineiy inspired TO kill the president,
had an opportunity to execute what he
believed to be the command of God,
but did not execute 1t. He has not pre-
tended that il was an ''inspiration''
which restrained him. No, il was his
own human unwiilingness to murder
the president in the presence of his
wife, who happened to be present.
The assassin's will on that occasion was,
by his own account, quite strong enough
to overcome the will of God, which he
says he believes was upon him. "If
Mrs. Garfield had been with the presi-
dent July 2, would you have shot him 90
asked the prosecutor. The prisoners
reply was: mo l should not have shot
him IN her presence" The prosecutor:
Then it depended entirely on your
will ?" The prisoner: SIT depended on
whether had suitable opportunity"
That is. the execution of the will
of God depended on the judge
ment of His instrument as 10 the suit
ableness of the opportunity And still
it is the theory of the defense that this
assassin acted under delusion which
he was incapable of examining by his
reason, because in relation to il he was
bereft Of the reasoning power.
"Do you think yourself insane ?" asked
the prosecutor. Who has ever heard of
an insane person that had any doubts on
the question of his sanity? 1t is only.
the sane person who can have any doubt
on the subject-matter of his
beliefs, because il is only the
sane who possess the faculty of
reasoning and judging upon their own
beliefs Lacking that faculty, the in
sane person can no more doubt his own
sanity than he can doubt the verify of
his insane beliefs. The prisoner hest
tated, and seemed embarrassed by the
direct question OF his sanity. He re-
piled, cautiously, that many people
thought so. "But are you insane ?" re-
peated the prosecutor. 81 am not an
expert; ask Them" was the evasive ans
wer. Who has ever heard Of an insane
person evading the question of his sani
ty, for fear his answer might be used to
his prejudice against the plea of in
sanity? Does not the evasive answer of
the question prove better than any other
answer that very active process of
reasoning upon the subject of his pre-
tended lunacy was taking place in the
prisoners mind.
The examination of the prisoner very
v1rOnarlv andad with hia fatal confession
of remorse for his act. Remo-se for do

which he had no power of reason to ex-

THE NEW S.
The Usual Dose of Gulteau

WASHINGTON, Dec 14-The crowd
about the criminal court an hour before
opening was greater than ever before.
The first witness was DIR. John L. With
row, of Boston. Guiteau at once called
out: "Dr. Withrow is the honored pastor
of Park street church, Boston, where /
used to attend church when Twas there.
He is very fine gentleman"
The witness said the prisoner de-
sired to deliver a lecture in his
the wittness's) church, in answer
to Ingersoll, but the witness
declined to have the church used for that
purpose The witness observed him
during his presence at the meeting of a
social gathering of the church. Never
saw the least indication of unsoundness
of mind, but on the contrary thought he
possessed unusual shrewdness. Cor
recting himself the witness added: 81
should say cuteness."
Guiteau-"What's the difference, doc
tori"
Answer-"The one means brighter
than the other"
Corkhill-"And of larger calibre"
Guiteau-"He didn't mean that, Cork
hill; you must have slept well last night.
That's the smartest thing you have said
yet"
The witness said the prisoner general
~ took part in the discussion upon
whatever subject might be under discus
sion; that he was always critical and
accusative rather than conciliatory and
kind
Guiteau--"I always spoke to the point
and was incisIve and gritty. That's me.
There is no nonsense or romance in my
composition. If there had been I
might have gone through the world
more smoothly. 1t is very evident that
the object of this kind of examination is
to show that l know the difference be-
tween right and wrong. That has moth
ing whatever to do with the case. The
only question is, whether Or not my
free moral agency was destroyed, and 1
was impelled upon the president. That's
the point, judge, and that knocks the
bottom out of your theory"
After short pause he broke out
again, and with increased vehemence
said: I'm not here to save my neck
from the gallows; Pm here for the VIM
dication of justice and of the right"
Judge CoX-"Well that will do now.
Suspend your remarks"
Guiteau-"All right. When get to
the jury am going to talk to them on
this subject. This is just little Incl
dental speech"
Chas. A. Bryan, of the New York
Equitable Life Insurance company,
knew the prisoner in New York. The
witness was proceeding to relate the
circumstances of Guiteau's connection
with his company when the prisoner
Indignantly shouted: "Well, now, ]

comes here and tells what is false shall
tell HIM. You are mistaken, sir; that
