Gutaean's Trial-r0. Day ~ Pr0cscd.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-The
Criminal Courtroom was densely
crowded this morning. At 10
o'clock Mrs. Scoville resumed her
testimony. She described Gniteau's
actions during his visit to her in
1878, and said che was then con-
WINGED he was insane and should
be put in an asylum. Frequent OBJ
jections were raised by counsel for
the prosecution to the character of
the questions propounded by Sco-
vile, and continuous discussion
ensued between the counsel upon
the admission of certain evidence.
AT times some irritability was man
ifest.
Mrs. Scovill was asked If she ha d
had ever before been upon the wit
ness stand. She replied with
much emphasis, mo, and Pm ne
lawyer, either" Mrs. ScovilIe's
examination was concluded. Her
cross.examination was postponed
to allow Geo. d. Burroughs's, of
Chicago, to testify, as he desired
to leave to-day. This wit
ness boarded with Scoville at the
time of Guiteau's visit in 1878, and
made up his mind that the prisoner
either was q fool or crazy. He was
satisfied that Guiteau was unset
tied in intellect.
A brief interval occurred before
the next witness appeared, and
Guiteau took advantage of the OPP
and broke out with: II
desire to tell these crank newspa-
per men that appear here as my
own counsel; that is my answer to
all the silly stuff they have been
themselves Of for some
days past. Some of these newspa.
per men have gone crazy. I APP
pear here in part as my own coun-
sci, as have the right to under
the law and Constitution of Amer.
ica.n No effort was made to check
Guiteau, and no notice whatever
of the interruption was taken by
the Court.
p. s. Joselyn, of the "Oneida
Community" thought that Gull
teau's marked characteristic was
intense egstism.
John w. Guiteau, a brother of
the prisoner was next examined.
He had not been on good terms
with his brother for some years,
but had no doubt of his sanity un-
til he received some letters in Oc-
tober. Since he had come on here
and had seen his brother in the
and at the jail he had
become Satisfied he was insane.
During the time John w. Cult
eau was on the stand the witness
to interrupt, explain and
correct the witness. Once Judge
Davidgs attempted to stop him,
but he waved his hand mperiously,
saying: "You keep quiet, Judge,
If you please" Shortly after, the
witness was asked, In connection
with the incident he had related, if
he at that time thought the pris-
oner insane. Guiteau quickly an
ticipated his reply by saying,
"Why, of course he has always
thought was badly cracked" The
witness said he never detected the
slightest traces of Insanity in his
father.
The Autopsy os tho L,se presidents
WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.-Acting
Assistant Surgeon Lamb, who per-
formed the autopsy upon the body
of President Garfield, furnishes the
following: There prevails to some
extent an impression that the ex-
animation OF the body Of the late
President Garfield was q careless
and haphazard one, without order
or method. and that the bullet was
only found by accident, This i'm
preston is entirely Incorrect. The
order of examination was prear-
ranged in consultation for the pur-
pose, and was carried out so far as
the developments OF the autopsy
permitted.
