Scoville said:
In early childhood he was struck on the
head with stone by playmate. lie
grew up a bright, petite boy, but his mother
being dead he did not receive
the attention he should have. Ills
only popularity was an impediment in hls
speech. For instance, he would persistently
say ped along" instead Of get along,
Old Dan Tucker" although harshly cor
rected.
lie then reviewed the prisoners conncc-
ton with the Oneida Community. He
(Scoyille) had finally sent him money to
leave the Community when it became dis
tasteful to him. He had finally driltcd into
the study of the law, and was admitted, III
loose fashion, in Chicago. One of the
committee of admission was Charles Reed,
afterYard United States Attorney. only
three questions were ased Guiteau by Reed,
two of which he answered, missing the
other.
Dayidge-"Did you say Reed admitted
him..
Guitcau-'No;' General Reynolds, who

siOn.n
Scoyille continuing said Guitear's legal
ability was limited. He branched out ny
collector, and when he had bill against

lie spoke disparagingly of his peculiar
methods of suing debtors, when Guitcau
angrly hsouted:

After time Guiteau returned to New
York. where his polished address and gen
tlemanly manner gave him easy admission
to business circles.
Guiteaq-"Yes; but l had frst-class re-
concentrations"
"He was assigned to defend a larceny case
in Chicago resumed Scoville, where the
evidence for the prosecution was over
wheming, and he made such a rambling,
incoherent argument that Mr., Reed has
ever since entertained the belief that his
mind was not right"
This led to an angry denial from Guiteau,
who disclaimed ever having defended such
a case there.
The court took q recess for half an hour.
After reassembling Scoville continued the
story of the prisoners life, showing many
eases of weakness and of business incapac-
ity. He was frequently interrupted by the
prisoner, especially when any reflections
were made on his personal appearance or
integrity, by indignant denials
Scoville related an incident Of his having
raised an axe against Mrs. Scoyille, without

Rice, having declared on those occasions
that Guiteau was harmlcssly insane. He re-
ferred to Guitcau's explanation of his fail |

that Jesus Christ could not pay
his expenses. He (Guiteau) was in the
same business as the Apostle Paul. Paul

a scene here took place between Scovillc
and Guitcau, who accused the former of
having suppressed his letters to n lady cor
respondent. After quiet had been
restored, Scoville said he desired
TO-. read some letters tending to
prove Guiteaus insanity, twenty years
back. Objection was made by the Dis
trict- Attorney, but they were afterward
withdrawn, and the letters were read. They
were addressed to Scovilc and his Gut

religious character especially those OF
The earliest date, and those from the Oneida
Community. There was nothing striking
in any of these letters, except where deal.

stage the court adjourned till tomorrow.
An Irish Convention.
NEW YORK, November 22,-Messrs
0Connor, Shelby and Kelly will publish
a manifesto in the coming issue
OF the Irish World touching nation
al convention of lrishmen, to be
held at Chicago, Nov. Both. They say,
IN substance. that the significance Of such
demonstration is, that being composed of
All Irish American organizations friendly to
the Land League, it will be an embodiment
and concentration of the Irish forces that
will place the unity, aim, numbers and re-
sources before the world. We want to
prove that coercion is means of
Government in Ireland against which the
Irish shall rise in an organized, impatient
revolt, and close that phase of English rule
IN Ireland once and forever. The convcn-
ton is intended to be at the same time a
message of hope to the Irish at home OF
the vast forces they may count on MS
allies, and a message of warming to
England of the vast force with which she
will have to deal. The lull in Ireland is
but the preparation for the storm. Rents
are just becoming due. and our information
IS that in majority of cases rents will not
be paid. The tenantry of Ireland stand
tace to face with one of the
most trying situations that ever
beset the manhood and patriotism of a ma
ton. On one side tcrrors are appealed to
by 10000 soldiers, 1900 armed police and
suspension of all constitutional liberties,

Mr., Gladstone in the land courts make
high bids to their cupidity by apparent
large reductions of rents, and yet mistaken
by appeals to their fears, and
superior to appeals, to their sellishness, the
Irish farmers will obey the no rent mani
itesto and remain true to their imprisoned
leaders and their outraged homes. We ap-
peal to our countrymen to make the
momentous convention which meets ut
