The National tribune., 1881-12-31

ed yesterday, guess. 1t is about time for Cork
hill to get sick and stay sick"
He had scarcely resumed his seat when the
District Attorney and officers of the court entered,
and court being opened, the record of divorce of
Guiteau's ex-wife was introduced, after which
General Reynolds was recalled to the stand.
Witness stated he had no intention idea of
playing the spy on Guiteau; he merely wanted
to ascertain from him if there were any accom-
plices in the crime there being sort of semi
suspicion that it might be socialistic plot wit
ness learned for a certainty, through his inter-
views and visits, that there were no accomplices;
witness knew that Col. Corkhill had all the facts
that he had produced.
Mr.. Scoville asked to see the papers which
Gen. Reynolds read from yesterday. He looked
over them and read few more questions which
the prisoner had put to the witness on the occas-
ion of his visit in the Jail. They were of no ad-
ditional interest He also asked for the news
paper slips witness had read to the prisoner
They were the kilograms of sympathy for Presi-
dent Garfield and the horror for Guiteau's crime
from Conkling, Grant, Logan, and others. When
the letter from Grant was read, in which the lat
ter spoke of his son Fred having told him Gui-
teau was dead beat from Chicago, Guiteau
called out: "That's lie. A sweet-scented youth
Fred. Grant is! He is too lazy to earn decent
living, and beats off his father. He is a dead
beat, not |. Those men were hot against me at
that time They are cooled off now, and will
come up to me like high-toned friends
Its no use talking" continued the assassin,
Il had to remove Garfield. l was just thinking
about it this morning. Why, was aStOnlshed
to think of it. 1t was the most audacious act
man could do: to 90 into that depot and shoot
the President of the United States, surrounded
by his Cabinet and friends. 1t was only the Di-
vine inspiration that kept me up | wouldn't do
it again for $1,0O0,000, but 1 was desperate and
my free agency was destroyed. Now, that's all
there is about it, and you couldn't make any
more out of it if you all talked for six years"
Mrs. Anna Dunmire, the divorced wife of the
prisoner, was next called and took the stand.
Guiteau looked up at her for the first time,
and then recommended writing Just as the
witness was about to testify large number of
ladies arose and left the room, which caused
considerable delay. Guiteau, seeing the ladies
leaving, called out:
II don't think there1l be any smut in this
case There's no necessity for it unless that
pernicious whelp Corkhill drags it out. It's
shame to bring this lady here. l haven't seen
her for eight years and know nothing about
her. All that l want to say about her is that
l wish her we'll She is married now and has
children. Corkhill, you are a hog. The idea
of bringing lady here to have her record
raked up; for it will be if she tries to harm
me- I want to say here that / intend to ask

bounce you. l intend to tell him that there
are lots of lawyers in New York who have
helped the Republican party, and who would
fill your place hundred thousand times better
than you. I will demand it from him. as | made
him President, he cannot refuse me, you per-
nicious scoundrel!"
Witness was married to the prisoner in Chi
cago in 1869; was married by Rev. Mr.. Barclay;
resided in Chicago until the fall of 1871 the
prisoner was engaged in the law business at
that time; went from Chicago to New York in
October, 1871; resided there until the fall of
1878; prisoner worked for the election of Gree
ley; told witness that if Greeley was elected
he would have the Chilian mission; witness
never saw anything about the prisoner that in
dcated insanity.
Guiteau was very much irritated by Scoville's
cross ss-examination of Mrs Dunmire. "ScOville,
you are consummate jackass! A ten-year-old
boy could manage this case better than you.
You have no sense at all. will drive you out
of the case altogether. I have to do all the
heavy work, but your insufferable egotism and
vanity keep you in it, You-laughing very
heartily ly-you haven't been of any account since
that lecture. You had better 60 home and 60
to bed"
DR.. A. J. Hamilton testified that he had made
diseases of the mind and nervous system a
speciality for the last nine years; had examined
Guiteau and found nothing to indicate insanity.
At two o'clock the court adjourned over until
Monday.
