Mr.. Seville desired TO exhibit to the
witness, as all expert, a letter written
h Guiiean some ten days since to
Senator Don Cameron.
Gntean interrup'ei from his place in
tLenock, and shouted in harsh and
snned tones, "Hola on, | want to say
Smethiug about that letter. pro-
test a-a n>t its being rtat here. 1t is
ry.yate letter | wrote to Senator
Cameron ten days ago, asking him for
the loan Of five hundred dollars.
ScOyitlt, YOU had bt tier 90 back to
Clcag". You are perfect jackass on
this ca.e, and won't have you on it
any logger"
Mr.. Dav.dge objected to the letter,
but the &, ur; overruled the objection,
aud Mr.. Scoville then read
"HuS. Dos CAMEROS-Dtar Sir -
| am on trial for my life, and l need

grear deal Of Gen. Arthur, and so do !.

"in Cour', Washington, ID. g.. Dec. IL,
1881"
"p. $ Please give check to my
brother, j. w. Guittau, of Boston, and
make il payable to my order. &. G.'
The prisoner commented, 81 don't
care snap about it, one way or the
other. II you had presented the letter
you would probably have gotten the
money, hut as you concealed 1t, in
mean, sneaking way, you did not get
the money. It's very good letter,
anyway; but don't like this way OF
Stopping ard stealing my private let
terS and dragging them into Court.
Mr. ScoviIle then asked the witness,
will yon give your opinioN whether
such letter written to q tgan he did
ness Of miLd ?"
Answ.r-I do not think it indicates
anSundness OF mind. 1t seems to me
consistent with his character and habit
through life of soliciting money from
sources where he lad no reason to ex-
pcct it.
Guiteau-I don't think so either 1t
only shows what a jackass you are SEQ
vile.
Col. Corkhill-Your Honor, If these
Interruptions on the part of the priso-
ner are to continue must request that
the dock be paced in another part OF
the room.
Mr.. Seville Gmpatiently)-You can
place it in the cellar if you want; we
ohalt object.
Colonel Corkhil-You can't object.
Dr. Waller kempster, Superintend-
ent of the v i,Consiu State Hospital for
The Insane, had devoted his attention
~ the study Of insanity for the last 45
years.
Witness exhibited number Of slips
showing the shape, a. taken by the
"conformater, of the heads of num-
Der Of Prominent gentlemen, including
Treasurer Gillian, Colonel Ingersoll
Judge Cartier, W. l. Sibley and Col.
Corkhill.
Considt rahle amusement was created
by the illustrations OF the witness and
The running comments OF Guiteau. Not
single di gram disclosed symmrtri
cal head, witnessing remarking that
possibly not a perfectly symmetrical
head might be found In the Court room.
In the case of Colonel IngersOll wit
ness remarked (poln.ine with his fin
ger) This side appears flat as compared
with the other.
Mr.. Davidge-It bulges on the wrong
side.
Witness-Yes, a great many woult
say 80.
Guiteau-That shows that Bob ant
l are both cracked in the same direc
tion.
Colonel Corkhill's head, said witness
mas Very marked depression upon on
side.
Guiteau (:nterrupting)-I'll bet 20,
could put your foot iu the depression OF
his head.
Witness-The depression is very simi
lar to that noticed in the prisoner
head. Laughter.
Guiteau-Oh, he's cracked grea
zeal worse than l am.
Witness was asked by Col. Cokhill
suppose a man should commit a homi
eide, and then claim Divine insrira
tlon for the act, would you believe h
was telling the truth ?"
