[~sPEc1AL TO THE sEsTINEL.l
WASHINGTON, Dec. A.-The witness to-day
was DR.. John L. withrow of Boston. Guiteau
at once called out. " DR.. withrow is the hon.
ored pastor of the Park-street Church. When
I was there he was a very fine gentleman" q
Witness said the prisoner desired to deliver
q lecture in his church in answer to Ingersoll,
but witness declined to have the church used
for that purpose. witness observed the pris-
oner during the Winter at the meetings and
social gatherings Of the church. Witness
never saw the least indication of unsoundness
of mind in Guiteau, but on the contrary,
thought he possessed unusual shrewdness.
Correcting himself, witness said, 81 should

Witness-The one means brighter than the
other.
Corkhill-And of larger csliber?
Guiteau-He didn't say that, Corkhill. You
must have slept we'll last night. That's the
smartest thing you We said yet.
Witness said the prisoner generally took
part in the discussions upon Whatever subject
might be under discussion, and that he was
always critical and accusative, rather than
concfliatory and kind.
Guiteau-I always spoke to the point, In
eisive and gritty; that's me. There's no non

had been l might have gone through the world
more smoothly. 1t is very evident to the
mind of everyone that the sole object of this
kind of examination is to show that I know the
difference between right and wrong. That has
nothing whatever to do with the case. The
only question is, whether or not my free moral
agency was destroyed when 1 was impelled to
remove the President. That's the point,
Judge, and 1t knocks the bottom out Of your
theory.
After q short pause he broke out again, and
with increased vehemence said, I'm not
here to save my neck from the gallows; In
right"
Judge Cox-well, that will do; now suspend
your remarks.
duiteau-All right; when 1 get to the jury
I'm going to talk to them on this subject. This
is just a little incidental speech.
Charles A. Bryan Of New York, OF the Equit-
able Life Insurance Company, knew the pris-
oner In New York. The witness was proceed

and tells what is false. I shall tell him, you

"Iremember you," shouted auiteau, "you

Keep quiet" said s~covilie, " I will dispose
OF this man in short order"
Cried Guiteau-He brought suit against me
