visited Guiteau, his trial had not been
arranged. President Garfield was still
living, and he (witness) had no thought
of being subpGnaed as witness.
"You liep' shouted Guiteau; "you
came to my cell as a spy in the en-
ploy Of the district attorney
Gen. Reynolds read from notes he
had taken on the occasion of his first
interview with Guiteau, quoting the
prisoners words. He read: eff there
is stalwart in the land, l am he.
Grant, Conkling, Logan, and Gov Cor
nell are big guns am ng the stalwarts,
and | rank with them"
Guiteau retorted, II never said
could rank with them; but as matter
of fact, think can"
Mrs. Anna j. Dunmire (Guiteau's
divorced wife, was then called. Sew
eral ladies arose to leave the court
room. Guiteau moved uneasily upon
his seat, and looking angrily towards
the audience cried out: "There won't
be any smut on this examination. The
ladies need not 60 out. They have no
business to put this woman on the
stand unless Corkhill wants to stir up
filth. / say its an outrage on decency
for Corkhill to drag this lady in here
and have her character ripped up as
it will be. Corkhill ought to be
ashamed of himself. He is worse
than an old hog. appeal to the court
to intercept this infamous action of
!, Corkhill. Arthur ought to kick him
out. ] made Arthur president and
have right to demand it. He shall
put some reputable lawyer in the place
of this infamous Corkhill.
Very much to the surprise of every
one, but two or three questions were
asked. The witness never saw any
signs of insanity in the prisoner while
she lived with him as his wife.
At the close of the examination by
the prosecution, Guiteau, with sigh,
said to Corkhill: Thank you, Mr..
Corkhill for the sake of her children.
This is the most decent thing you have
done in this trial. / expect, however,
that Judge Porter and Davidge insist
on it, and they are both supposed to
be decent men," Then turning impa-
tiently to Scoville, said: "Now cut thia
short, and let's have something else. y
Cross. examination Mrs. Dunmire
was tedious and wholly fruitless rs she
left the stand. Guiteau shouted after
her. 81 have not seen this lady for
eight years, so far as know she is a
high-toned Christian lady, and have
nothing against her. She will honor
whatever station she must be in. Re.

AFTERNOON SESSION.
DR.. Loling of Washington and DR.. A
McLane of Hamilton, N. Y, were ex-
amined as to Guiteau's insanity, after
which the court adjourned until Mon
day.
AN INTERNAL MACHINE.
WASHINGTON, Dec. ia suspicious.
looking package, which it was feared
might be an internal machine, that was
sent to George Scoville, Guiteau's coun-
sci, has, after some rather formidable
precautions been opened, and the box
was found to contain a coil of rope with
a moose at the end. The box also con-
tanned polite note, saying: with the
compliments of the Garfield and Ar
thur club of Meyersdale, Pa" Some
police officials who had been spoken to
about the box were arranging to have
1t opened by some electrical apparatus,
but their elaborate precautions have
been stopped. Mr.. Scoville has re-
ceived postal card, dated Maunch
Chunk, Pa, Dec. 1881, and signed
"Dale, ex-Molly," which contains the
following startling warning:
Watch the van on the 21st of Decem.
Der. An attack will be make on Gui-
teau's life. Men of the Molly Mcguire
order. They are detailed to work on
his life.
HOW LONG WILL 1T LAST?
District Attorney Corkhill thinks that
the final argument in the case may not
be ended before the 10Th of January.
The examination of the regular insani-
ty experts will commence about next
Wednesday. No additional testimony
will be put in by the prosecution in re-
buttal
Gen. Reynolds has been discharged
| 90 ~ NiehCSS, anu lCtt III llOlilt to-ddl 4.
Gen. Reynolds says that Guiteau's
memory was something remarkable.
He never knew but one man like him,
and that was r. c. Crawford, SER
geant in his regiment during the ban
ner of, the crescent with the title of
Pashn.
The official report of the testimony
thus far makes avolume of about l 200
printed pages.
Charles Reed, of Chicago, has not vet
decided to undertake the examination
of the experts, but he may do it. Gui-
teau's brother and Mrs. Scoville have
earnestly requested him to do it. Reed
thinks that 1t was a great mistake to
place Guiteau on the stand that he
should not be cross-examined.
