There is no other man in America SO
universally despised, so universally abhor-
red. as Chas. J. Guiteau.
He is imprisoned for shooting down the
Executive Head of the Government.
And yet in such sacred regard is human
life held in this country that the army and
the navy are already put in requisition to
protect the life Of this execrated miscreant
and to secure to him fair and impartial
trial.
Verify, the equality and fairness of our
institutions are not an idle and empty
boast, but an invaluable reality.-N 7.

Is making out quite strong Showing on
the ground Of insanity, but probably the
action Of the prisoner himself Wilde more

Judge hss given the prisoner so much
