GUITEAU BECAME AT ONCE EXCITED.
He charged the witness with coming 10
him as g New York Herald reporter, and
tricking him into an interview, the
notes of which were used by the district
attorney. Bailey afterward made up q
report from his notes for the New York
Herald, and Guiteau wanted to know
what he received for il, and twas finally
brought out that Bailey had been given
$500. The prisoner was worked up con-
siderably, and cOntradicted the witness,
accusing him of perpetrating a fraud
upon him.
Scoville wanted Bailey's notes, but
they had been destroyed. Bailey denied
that he had represented himself TO Gui-
teau as Herald reporter, or tricked
him in any way.
The prisoner read list of names of
persons he wanted subp9ned, to show
the political condition OF the country
last spring. The names were,
PRESIDENT ARTHUR,
General Grant, eX-senators Conkling aud
Plat, Messrs. Jewell, Robertson and
Dorsey, and Senators Jones and Logan,
and also Bennett, of the Herald, Reed,
of the Tribune, Jones, of the Times,
Lana, of The Sun, Hurlburt, of the
World, Gorham, of the Washington Re
publican. HutchIns, of the Washinton
tOSt, ana w lIIlan rem NIAOU, III luc
Chicago Inter-Ocean.
No attention was paid to the request
by ScovilIe, and he had issued sub
pena for President Arthur, but he didn't
care to have him summoned until he
had seen him personally, and he had di-
rected the marshal to that effect.
Scoville resumed the reading of the
clippings, and there being no other wit
nessess, the court adjourned.
Remarkable Surgery-A Portion of the
Brain OF LeavenwOrth Bay Removed
LEAvENwORTH, Dec 4-Georse Fos-
ter, the boy who WAS kicked ON the head
by 4 horse, about seven weeks ago,
while driving a colt in sulky, as no.
ticed in the Times at the time, was out
yesterday for an airing in DIR. McCor-
mick's buggy. The recovery of this
boy is something remarkable, and re-
bounds to the credit of DR.. Mccormick,
was mashed in by the kick, piercing or
rupturing the duramater, tunica arach-
noida and the piameter, the three men,
bers which constitute the soft coverings
OF the brain, the brain eXuding from the
ruptures. 1t was not thought possible
that the boy could survive his injuries,
aud his case has been watched with
considerable interest by different sur
geons, as well as numerous citizens.
FINE PIECE OF WORK.
Last evening a Times reporter called
on DIR. Mccormick, VINO has sole charge
of the case, to learn some of the particu-
| lars about 1t. The doctor informed the
reporter that it is one of the most re-
markable cases of surgery on record in
which the patient lived and wholly re.
covered. He removed the pieces and
particles of bone from the brain by
means of a bone elevator and forceps.
The brain and blood matter accumulated
in the cavity of the wound. The pieces
of bone takenlout measured in one in
stance two inches in length and one
| inch in width. When these pieces were
removed the brain was plainly visible
| and several bone splinters buried in it.
These splinters were removed, and the su
perficial wound closed up by means OF
stitches and adhesive plasters, with the
exception of the lower angle, in which a
small portion of lint was placed to adj
NIT of the free discharge of blood, pus
| and such secretions as would attend a
| wound in that location. The forehead is
soft and pliable and easily indented
with the finger, there being nothing be-
tween the skin and brain but soft flesh.

and Choctaw streets, and is truly won

The GuiteAu Case-COngressman Far
well on the Stand.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Upon the open
ing of the court this morning Guiteau
announced he had prepared an order for
the attendance of witnesses he sug-
gested on Saturday, and would desire
the court to sign it at once. The order
was handed to Judge Cox.
Scoville called Geo. g. Gorham, editor
of the Republican, but he did not re-
spond.
Chas B. Farwell, member of congress
from Chicago, took the stand and was
questioned upon the feeling between the
factions of the Republican party, just
previous to the shooting of President
Garfield.
Judge Porter objected to taking up the
time of the court by this kind of testi-
mony.
To the question as to his acquaintance
with the prisoner, Mr.. Farwell said the
prisoner called upon him, the witness,
at his office in Chicago, and showing
some newspaper slips said he was about
to purchase the Inter Ocean and told
the witness if be would loan him 500,
600 he would make him, the witness,
president of the United States.
Guiteau emphatically)- is false,
I never made any such proposition.
I asked him to invest some money in
the enterprise but he said he had already
put $4,000 into the Inter Ocean and
would not put in any more.
The witness again saw the prisoner
in this city last march. The pris-
oner had u recommendation for the
Paris consuiship and wanted the witness
TO sign it.
The witness never thought the prison
er a sane man.
Upon cross-examination the witness
was asked if in the conversations men,
toned he had any opportunity to form
an opinion.
The Testimony Of DR.. KIeF nan and Other
in the Guiteau Case.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Dr. Herman
an insanity expert said in giving his
testimony that he had studied mental
diseases as q speciality since 1874. In
reply 10 question by Scoville, ne said
IL it was true that the prisoners habits
were really as described; if insanity
prevailed in the family; If many per-
sons had declared him insane, and If il
was true he had been demented by the
idea that he was inspired, witness on
such ASSUMPTION would regard the
