New YORK, Dec. 26th.-The
Herald's Washington special says:
Guiteau has said, II don't care
anything about the dock. Can't I
talk just as well in the dock as
else where? I'm bound to be heard.
l don't care for that. Judge Cox
wouldn't do it. The prosecution
begin to see they haven't a case
against me. Inever cav them act
80 silly as yesterday, especially
Porter. I would not be afraid to
go ahy If they turn me loose.
l am not afraid to walk alone all
over Washington, Baltimore, New
York, or any other place. I am
not afraid of being shot or hung.
The Lord and the people don't
agree in this business I'd rather
have the Lord on my eide than all
the people. Experts say am not
an insane man. They are not
wrong ia this. Inever have been
since the removal of the President
and don't pretend to be. There
are fifty millions of people in the
United States and all these crank
letters come from two or three per-
sons. There are only two
or three dozen orAnks in fifty mil
lions of people. Ha! hs! ha! that's
pretty goodw A letter containing
q DEATHS head caused Guiteau to
frowD, as did also card of a Balti-
more house containing his picture,
across the forehead of which was
written "Guilty."
Guiteau to-day received letter
wherein he was Threatened with
assassination. The letter was as
follows:
"NEw YORK, Dec. %, 's1.
"I'O the miserable murderer:
"Three friends and myself have
determined to go On to Washing
ton and put an end to your farcical
trial by sending you to your
maker. We shall take up differ.
ent positions in the courtroom.
but at given signal four bullets
will plunge into your filthy car
cass. Make preparations to leave
this world at an early day.
[5igned] Four MEN WITHOUT
AN INsPIkATIoN."
This amused Guitean, who
laughingly remarked: "SOme lu.
natic asylum's doings." With a
rather sad manner he continued: !:
II pay no attention to these fell
lows. The most of the letters get
are friendly, and the rest are for
my autograph"
