 l Mrs Sarah V White, matron of the ladies waiting room at the depot, then told hel 1 story of the shooting. She saw Guiteau firs second shot The Presidents legs gave l way and he sank down, not falling length wise. She saw Guiteau in the depot half ar hour before the President entered. On the cross examination witness said Guiteau
 walked up and down for long while in the gentlemen's room and always looked into the ladies' room whenever he passed the doors. He seemed to be waiting for some one. He wore slouched hat and it was on his head as it was few minutes ago. Guiteau then put
 his hat on in the way he usually wore it. Witness said, 'sThat's the way" and Guiteau nodded his head in assent Witness looked carefully at Guiteau and said she did not get good look at him until after the first shot was fired and plainly saw him fire a second. She did not hear him say any, thing. She heard nothing but the cry
 "Catch him Catch him ID s"That's the man." Witness pointed out the relative po- sitions of the President and assassin by the aid of 8 diagram.
 The next witness was Robert A. Parks, ticket agent at the depot. While Parks was testifying Secretary Hunt entered and was given a seat beside the judge. MT. Parks testified to having had his attention called to the prisoner in the depot by the noise of the first shot, He distinctly saw Guiteau fire the second shot and said Guiteau then handed him letter saying it was for some general.
 Witness with the assistance of two officers stopped the assassin in his flight. Witness saw the Presidents legs fail him and saw him fall forward at a glance, and then devoted his attention to stopping the assassin. He met Guiteau face to face at the door between the ladies' waiting room and the main wait ing room. On the cross examination witness said there was nothing to have prevented Guiteau from escaping by the B street door if he had made an attempt, but he seemed to desire going the other way. Guiteau again put on his hat, and after he had pulled 1t down near his eyes at Parks request the lat ter said that was the way he then wore 1t. Witness could not recollect the name Of the general Guiteau said the letter was for. The assassin being excited spoke indistinctly at the time and witness heard him say noth- ing else except that he wanted to go to jail Witness kept his hold on Guiteau until officer Kearney took hold of him in the main wait ing room. Witness had not seen Gulteau be- lore the second shot was fired.
 Judson W. Wheeler, the next witness, tes- tifed that the first shot was fired within few inches of his face He say the shooter and was certain it was the prisoner. He saw Gu1- teau advance step or two and fire the sec- ond shot and then saw the President fall. The first shot was fired so close to the face of the witness that he swallowed some smoke emit ted by the pistol, happening as he did to make an inhalation at that time. On the cross examination of eye-wltnesses Scov1lle asked carefully as to how the prisoner looked and acted how the pistol arm was held, which way he ran, who caught him, how he was taken hold of and when and where. Wheeler said he.noticed nothing peculiar about the assassin except that he was very excited and was very anxious to get to the door.
 George A. Adams, president of the Eoen ing Stdr company, Washington, next told what he saw of the shooting It was a short story, including the entry of the President and party to the depot, the firing of the sec- ond shot and the flight of the assassin. On the cross-examination witness said he dld not think the assassin seemed very anxious to get away He did not hear him say any thing except. 'sIt is all right" He said that several times. He seemed to say this to keep the people quiet. He did not appear much excited He saw no pistol or letter in Guiteau's hand
 Jacob Smith, janitor at the depot, testified that he saw the prisoner standing near the door of the waiting room before the President came in. He saw Guiteau fire the second shot, and was the first one at the Presidents side after he fell. The President said nothing Witness thought he was un- conscious. He distinctly saw Guiteau start toward the B. street door, but turned after he saw Officer Kearney there. He heard the prisoner make no remark. Witness noticed that he was very excited and anxious to get away, but did not notice anything more pe- culiar about him. Witness seemed positive that the President neither turned around or began to fall until the second shot had been fred He did not see Secretary Blaine by the President when he reached him. Blaine went out one door toward the ticket office as the witness entered by the other. At 2:5O the cross examination of Smith was conclud- ed, and the court adjourned until to- morrow 
 The court had been so crowded that it was some time before it could be cleared Mean while Guiteau was kept in the Marshafs room. At least five hundred people gathered before the door when the van was opened. Walking nervously between the two marshals the prisoner ran his daily gauntlet of hoots and misses, and as the door closed with bang, the crowd set up yell that continued till the van disappeared. This feature of the day is a most trying one to the prisoner His face as he walks through the crowd is ivid with fear, and he is heartily glad when he gets inside the van. This scene was in- tensified to-day perhaps on account of Gui- teau having stated in an angry moment in court to-day that he would make a TOW be- fore the trial was over. Such row would not be unexpected by good many, for there are numbers of people who come to the court room daily. expecting to see Guiteau shot. The reported arrest of an alleged conspira- tor with Guiteau was fatly denied too early this morning to cause much excitement Colonel Corkhill refused to say whether he had had any correspondence with Chicago people on the subject, but he did say the story as published was all news to him and that he did not believe word of it. This evening he said he understood that the whole story was a hoax, which was about what he thought in the first place. The de- of justice has had no information whatever in regard to the alleged conspiracy discovery and have not placed sufficient cre- Hence in the report to have 1t investigated. l Colonel William O. Cook states that such a | conspiracy in his opinion was not impossible, l indeed the department of justice was at once l quite sure there was such one, and some l title money was necessarily expended in | making an investigation. These expenses l were defrayed out of the appropriation for | he courts, as they always are in particular | investigation ordered by the department. | The statement that the whole amount of the | ,,,,1 4f4 4ha6 a-k, off vas expended in the investigation is absurd. 1 The appropriation for contingent expenses for that department is only S11, ,500, the ex- | 3enditure of which is by items so specified in | he appropriation act thatnone of it could | oe gotten out of the Treasury for any other l purpose.
