DENoUNCING MIR. sc0vILLE.
The prisonar broke out into another
invective against Mr.. Scoville, telling
him that he was consummate fool,
that he had better go back to Chicago
at once, and that he seemed to be
working for the Government instead
of for the defense.
Mrs. Dunmire, the divorced wife of the
prisoner, identified two photographs of
him taken some years ago, and denied
having said to Mrs. Scoville anything
about the prisoner being insane.
Mr.. Justice, of Logansport, Ind, a
former witness, produced volume of
Moody's life which he said the prisoner
had been peddling In Logansport, and
in which he claimed the prisoners name
was legible, though 1t required to be
looked at in . strong light. The pri
soher himself denied that there was
any such writing in the book.
The court at 3 O'Clock adjourned.

Mr.. Scoville presented to the witness
postal card, which the witness admit
ted having written, dated Salem, Mass,
November "a, saying: "Accept my
congratulations on the manner In which
you have conducted the defense. It
may not be popular, but 1t is right and
just" The witness, saw no reason to
Jake it back-at the time 1t was written.
Again Guiteau broke out against Mr..
ScoVllle: "it Is an outrage on justice
for this man to come here. He has had
no experience in criminal matters, and
is compromising my case. l here re-

Mr.. Scoville, for the first time DUR
ing the trial, seemed 10 be annoyed
and humiliated by the prisoners
speech. He had difficulty in repress.

That he should be very glad to have
the assistance of Mr.. Reed.
Guiieau seemed to relent little as
he noticed Mr.. Sooville's emotion, and

cross examination short"
The witness related the circumstances
connected with meeting OF the experts
who had been summoned for the defense.
There were nine or ten experts at that
meeting. Mr.. Reed was there and asked
each expert his opinion. The witness,
when 1t came TO his turn, expressed his
opinion. Mr.. Reed said, In summing up
the opinion of The experts: "You seem
to have the prisoner on the border line
of insanity, aud little more testimony
will carry HIM over." The impression
of the witness was that be did Mr. Reed
that be considered the prisoner respon

Guiteau--Scoville,you should have let

him to get out of the case. He is running

Mr.. Scoyille (with an air of patient
resisnation)-No one realizes that more
than myself.
Guiteau Gin fury)-Then get out of |
