A Truant Wife.

A colored man named Williams, mailing
from Franklin, Ind, was in the city Thursday
night. and in company with Officers Jester
and StemmOns prosecuted search for his
wife. She was found at an early hour thi:
morning at the Park House, and at las,
accounts he was prevailing upon her to re
turn home with him, Offering as an argu
ment that her mother was at the point o.
death, which calamity had been fastened by
her conduct. She had not signified her in
tention of returning with him at the pres
ent writing.

Not True.

Both the morning papers OF Thursday
on the authority of an attorney, stated that
Governor Hendricks was prostrated by the
heat while conducting the examination OF
witnesses in the Poor Farm investigation
during the day. The Governor stated to a
Sentinel reporter last night that he was not
prostratsd, and that the rumor to that effect
was entirely unfounded

Washington, last night before going

WAsHINGToN, d. c., July 6, 1881.
The wires and the correspondents
of the daily papers have given you
the details in full of the dastardly
attempt to take the life of our be-
loved chief magistrate on Saturday
morning last. l need not rehearse
them in detail.
The attempted assassination of the
President, broke upon us like a clap
of thunder from clear sky. | was
in the Treasury building when the
first news came, completing my exam
ination preparatory to entering the
Government service. The scene is
undescribable-men left their desks
and hurried to and fro in search of
confirmation or denial of the rumor,
and the great building was the scene
of the widest excitement and con-
fusion.
The streets were soon thronged
with excited, horror struck citizens
The hurrying of soldiers, cavalry and
infantry to the White House, revived
very vividly the memories of the late
war and especially the assassination
of President Lincoln.
So utterly unexpected, SO com
pletely absent were any of the caus-
es that might even fanatic hope to
gain renown by such terrible deed
At peace with all nations, fraternal
feelings among all sections, never sc
good and constantly improving, the
shock is absolutely appalling. There
is no mock or corner of our broad
land in which stricken hearts are not
sadly and anxiously waiting, hopping
and praying for the great hearted
sufferer who lies probably dying at
the White House.
No time can ever etface from my
mind the memory of the sad stricken
face of poor Mrs. Garfield when she
arrived by special train from Balti
more, and the silent fearful crowd that
looked on. Crowds of anious peopl,
have constontly thronged the streets
and approaches to the White House
grounds, waiting for the latest builet
ins, and beseiging every person wh'
came out for CLEAN of hope. There
has been strong feeling in favor o
lynching the assassin, Guiteau, and
had the Presidents death occurred
Saturday or Sunday, it is doubtful i
the excited populace could have beer
restrained from making a desperat,
effort to obtain possession of tn
assassin.
| Colonel Dudley has been in almos
constant attendance upon the Presi
dent.
Register Bruce has been a frequen
and anxious visitor at the Whit
House, and is Just now in receipt Q
advices that the Presidents condition
is improving.
/ have lust seen General Harrison
and Secretary Window, who cam
direct from the White House, and the,
say the Presidents condition is yer,
favorable and all are very hopeful.

GUI1,EApS TRIAL.

The trial Of Charles j. Guiteau
commenced in Washington City on
the 18th inst, and is still in progress.
The prisoner is now defended by
but one attorney, Geo. ID. Scoville,
who is his brother-in-law. The asso-
ciate counsel appointed by the Court
has retired from the case, the pris-
soner and Scoyille together making a
demand for his resignation-the one
because he chose to be impudent,
and the other because he and Mr.
Robinson, the retiring counsel, could
not agree upon the line OF defense.
The first day but little was done,
save the swearing in of five jurors
acceptable to both sides of the case.
Guiteau commenced course of
restless INSTRUMENTATION at the be-
ginning of the trial, frequently inter
rupting his counsel and the Court,
and all others involved in the case,
by numerous interjections of his
opinions and wishes. He had a
statement prepared, which he desir-
ed to read, but the Court rejected it.
1t contained nothing of sense or in
terest, but set up the defense that
the murder of the President was di-
rected by the Deity. On the 10Th,
the defense petitioned for the attend
ance of more witnesses whose names
were furnished. Four additional
jurors were obtained. Several color
ed jurors were peremptorily chal-
lenged by the defense, and they
were excluded. On the 10th, the
jury was completed by the swearing
in of three additional jurors, when
the Court adjourned until the 18th,
to permit the jurors to arrange for
the continuance of their business
during the trial. During the pro
ceedings, the assassin wrote and
handed to reporters an appeal to the
legal profession for volunteer assist
ance in his defence. The District
Attorney opened the case with a
powerful speech to the jury, in which
every point in the sad story of the
assassination was duly presented.
The Courthouse has been continually
crowded with spectators "a great
many ladies appearing in the audi
ence. Scoville is admitting the
killing and denies but little that is
charged, presenting no rebutting tes-
timony. He expects acquittal upon
the plea of insanity, and has sum-
moned witnesses from almost every
section of the Union by whom to
substantiate the hereditary faint, as
well as actual insanity in the prisoner.
1t is not possible for us to detail in
these columns the testimony ad-
duced, but we shall endeavor to give
leading points and keep our readers
informed of the proceedings of the
case. The Court did not hold SEES
sion on the Oath, adjourning on the
23d till Friday, the Goth.
