ST.. PAUL, Nov. 81.
To Judge Cor:
SIR: The inclosed article was taken
from the st. Paul Pioneer Press of
November 20. The people of America
say amen to the article. You are max.
ing larce of the Guiteau trial. 1t is q
disgrace to the nation and the world.
For the love of God and The country
charge that jury TO convict him of MUIR
der in the first degree. Justice demands
that he must hang. II he goes free it is
an encouragement to any man who is
disappointed at the actions of another to
coolly murder him. IF the jury do not
cause him to be hung, the people will
hang him, and you with him. Do you
trifle with the feelings of 100000 of
people. The insanity dodge is too COM
mon. Hang few and others will not
go crazy. The people want justice done.
Please read this article carefully-it is
full of good sense. The people are be-
coming disguised with lawyers and
judges. Judge Lynch" will soon be
the peoples judge. JUSTICE.

sion and mercy to the notorious scoun-
drel and murderer Guiteau? For the
sake of humanity and the memory of so

him. The hearts of the nation ache for
vengeance on the wretch who deprived
US of our dearly beloved president,
James A. Garfield.
