TRIAL NOTES.
Yesterday afternoon, on the return OF Guiteau
to the Jail, member OF Congress had an inter-
view with him, lasting half an hour The CONVEX
sation was mostly on political subjects. IGwas
noted that Guiteau answered quickly and intelli-
gently every question put to him, but when the
member alluded to the shooting as calamity he
turned to look out of the window. On a change OF
until the member remarked 81 fear that the coun-
try will not recover from the calamity caused by
you, he was in good humor, but then became sui
len and unwilling that the interview should be
continued The impression he made on the men,
per was that ne was a sane man, and perfectly re-
Any one familiar with Judge Porter's gentle and
quiet manner In conversation, would hardly recog-

SumeS an impressive air OF dtgnifiedN SOlemnity,
poses with great grace, and uses his index finger
with remarkable effect. Sometimes he delivers
a ana-l
dian, and again gives his manner the SOftnesS OF
suitor pleading with his lady love. Altogether,
lions, would be apt to upset witness OF greater
mental equipose than Guiteau.
Ii is understood that no visitors Will be received
at the jail Tomorrow and Guteau will, therefore,
have lonely day unless the experts visit him.
