Of the race ere going down to perditlon -" !;

Worcester that he had no money, but was
positive that, from past experience, the
hall would be full, and he would get plenty
Of money; that he was a religious teacher

GUlTEAU BREAKS OUT AGAIN.
"It's of no consequence" interrupted
the prisoner. 81 was there a month, and
| paid them s. on account. That's all
there is about II. A very nice Lady,
a very nice lady, indeed"
Mr.. Scoyillc went on examining Mrs.
Lockwood, when the prisoner broke out
"This is irrelevant, and object to this
kind OF testimony. / presume there were
people i'm the house who thought | was n
crank. have no doubt Of it at ALL"
Mrs. Lockwood said she had communi-
Gated with him by note regarding the board
bill.
"They were too kind-hcarted," said the
prisoner, "and zoo polite TO annoy me
about my bo;rl."
4 little later the prisoner broke out say
ing. with a smack OF the lips, &" a good
place to board" Stopping a moment, he
said: "General Logan boarded there, and
lot Of high-toned people. / can recon-
mend II rs n clearinghouse"

turning suddenly and looking at witness

"Eyes were pretty sharp, probably"
said the prisoner.
Mrs. Lockwood, after brid eross.ex-
animation, was excused from the stand.

Mrs. ScoviIle accused him Of being crazy,
hut that she was crazy and not he; and that
IL she was put in IN insane asylum all would

GUITEAU OBJECTS.
The witness was going on TO tell OF Gut
teau's mistakes in farm-work, when the
prisoner. who had become restless. spoke,
saving: awe have had enough OF this
kind of talk. That's all there is about it.
The fact is i spent several months during
the fall Of 10 in trying to get hold OF the
Chicago Inter Ocean, and, falling in that,

Mr.. Scoyillc had u very fine country-seat in
Wisconsin. went out there in the sum-
mcr Of '7G, and not having any money /
did try to do some farming to pay for my
hoard. | went back to Chicago and opened
law Office and did well. | always did
well when ] stuck 10 the law. / won't
have any more OF this kind Of talk"
Mr.. Scoyille pursuing his questions,
Guiteau, turning to the prosecuting Off

insist in having order in this matter. 1t

won't have it,

scene i'm a boat where Guiteau became very
much excited, apparently with little cause.
The prisoner here became excited again,
and objected to this sort OF testimony, and
said Il wasn't true.
