WASHINGTON, December 2Sd.-"Yes to
the gallows," was the answer which person
with a clear, ringing voice, sitting at some
distance behind Guitesu, gave this afternoon
to one of Guiteau's soliloquies, in which he
said: ST opened my mail for the first time
this morning, and there was but enc crank
letter in the whole lot. That's 2 good shew-
ing. People are learning. They are begin

showed his craven fear and turned deathly
pale, when q tall, lean, raw boned man with
lantern jaw aud iron gray beard, who looked
az if he might be a Georgia .'cracker" or
Vermont Yankee, stood up in the audience
about ten feet behind the prisoner, and acted
as if about to move forward. Guiteau be-
came very nervous, and George Scoyille and
his wife, who usually bear the excitement OF
she Court room with composure. also seemed
somewhat startled. The bailiffs in charge
of Guiteau quickly shouted, sit down, sir;
sit down !' It appeared that the man simply
wished to move his position.
