and determination with which persons acting
under an insane delusion carry out their pur.

describe it with language. -
! Guiteau-You don't agree with Abraham
doctor. He took plenty of time to make his
| arrangements.
Witness stated that he did not believe in a
distinct type of insanity which could be called
| moral insanity. 1t was simply convenient
| term which had been invented to excuse the
commission of heinous crimes. He had never
seen case where an insane man, after com.
| mitting a crime, paraded his insanity and
| urged it as an excuse for his crime. Insane
murderers do not boast of their acts, but
| on thelcontrary, very rarely allude to them,
unless good deal of ingenuity ia used to
draw them out. Witness, until he entered
this Courtroom, had never heard of case oi
alleged inspiration that came from within.
Always such persons claim to have heard the
voice Of God, or seen His image, or some.
thing of that sort. Such an Inspiration is
never the conviction arrived at by mature re-
fection on the part OF the person affe ,ted.
Guiteau-It shows that the Lord and the
people don't agree on this business The peo-
pie are beginning to come over to my side,
and the Lords, too.
Corkhill then read the hypothetical ques-
tions of the prosecution, and witness replied
to each Taking the facts set forth to be
true, In my opinion he was sane"
