made my final speech on this matter. It is a
disgrace for Corkhill to bring in this evi-

The prisoner, while he was delivering this
TRADE, was apparently under the control of
Violent passion. His conduct towards his sis
ter was such that Scovllle was obliged to make

and try to Suppress his violence.

any conversation with the prisoner on the

The next witness was Mr.. Harrison, senator
from Indiana. He testified he had met the
prisoner few times in Washington last
spring. Some time after the inauguration of
PRESIDENT Garfield the prisoner called to see
him at the Riggs house, and sent
him several copies of his speech,
Clarified and Hancock. He saw him
several times in the Office or reading room of
the Riggs house in the course of few weeks,
and had several brief conversations with him.
The prisoner applied to witness for some
assistance in connection with his application
for office. Witness responded that he was
already overloaded with similar applications
from his state, and could not interfere in his
behalf. In several other conversations the
prisoner spoke about the dead lock in the
senate, and said his name had not yet been
sent to the senate, but thought it would be as
soon as the dead lock was broken. Witness
saw nothing in the prisoners conduct or con
versation that raised In his mind any questions
of the mans sanity.

Mr.. Scoville Cnterrupting sir.
How loug have you been lawyer ?''
Prisoner-"He's not q lawyer he is pet
