People who are in a position to know say
that Frank Hatton, who succeeds Judge Tyner
as assistant postmaster-geDeral, "knows more
about the postal service than Tyner ever
dreamed Of" That is easily explained. Hat
ton is an editor So is Secretary Blaine, and
President Arthur is a-printer. What the de-
partments OF Washington need is more editors
though we made a resolve at the beginning
of the year not to accept government office.

WASHINGTON, December THE morning
session of the Guiteau trial was devoted to
the examination of citizens Of Freeport
ILL.,, on behalf of the prosecution. The evil
dence of these witnesses was that they had
known the Guiteau family, and did not re-
gard L. W. Guiteau, father of the prisoner
m embers Of the family to be sane.
The fact that a few Of the twenty or thirty
experts summoned TOR the defendant gave
their testimony excites some remarks,
and Il is said nearly all Of them came 70 the
conclusion that they could do Guiteau no
good by their testimony. A few experts
had an interview with Guiteau
Monday afternoon, but none of
them appeared yesterday on the witness
stand. District Attorney CorEhili is quoted
az expressing the belief that the trial will
not last more than a week longer.
WASHINGTON, December S.-The court
room again was densely packed. Mrs. Julia
n. Wilson, Of Leadville, Colorado, was the
first witness. She testified l.. w. Guiteau
was her uncle and she knew him from her
earliest recollection. She gave a most feel
ing account Of the life and character Of
Der mother, Mrs. Maynard, who, il had
been alleged, by the defense, had died in
sane. and who died from pneumonia in
1876. Witness was her constant attendant
NJ 10 her death and never saw the slightest
Indication Of fiightiness or insanity.
Guiteau, during the examination Of the
witness, becane greatly excited and in
terrupied the testimony several times.
At the conclusion Of the examination
General G. Maynard was called. and corrob-
GRATED portions Of the testimony, and the
court took recess for half an hour.
Several witnesses were examined, all OF
whom hsd known Guiteau In The
West and in Boston and none
ever supposed him insane, though al
fh0urhf him lacking in moral character.
