| BY that you can see that the fact Of the
vice president having taken the oath Office
as president does not make him president,
but merely avice president acting as prcsi-
dent. He is still vice president, and exer-
cses the duties of the president according
to the constitution"
Warden Crocker visited Gulteau in his
cell Tuesday morning and gives the follow
ing account of the interview "When | en-
tered the cell, after the usual morning
greeting, Gulteaus question to me was,
How is the president replied do not
know. / answered him thus in order to
find out if he had gained knowledge Of his
death. Guiteau replied, you ought to
know; have you not read the morning pa
pers9' said had, but could not rely on
the various statements in the papers. He
then said he had felt very anxious about
the president the past few days, and he
feared that he was nearing his end. / then
informed him, watching his expression
carefully, that the president was dead. He
instantly sank down on his bed and appear
ed very much agitated. After remaining in
this position for few moments he arose
and paced the floor, muttering something
to himself, as If praying. He then in
quired at what time he had died, and after
being informed, said that he was glad the
president had at last been relieved from his
sufferings, as he would not have committed
the deed if he had known that he was to
suffer as he did. Guiteau did not appear
so nervous and alarmed as supposed he
would when the news was broken to him,
and do not think he knew the president
was dead unul I so informed him, at least
he said he did not"
A man named Edward Lindley was
found dead yesterday mornig in his bed in
a room in the Vicksburg house. He was
an old man, between fifty and fifty-ive
years of age and he was from Chicago,
where he has a wife and four or
five children living. He came here
several months ago and was in the employ
of Mr.. John T. RennIe as blacksmith. Up
to Saturday he was IN the employe of Mr..
J. B. Reed. He quit work and told his
friends that he intended leaving town. He
went 10 his room as usual Tuesday night
and went to bed. During the night several
of his room mates heard him moan and,
thinking that he was dreaming, they turn
ed him over in bed and
then left him. In the morning
he was found as stated with two three
ounce bottles, partially filled one with
laudanum and sweet spirits OF nitre by
the side OF his bed. Coroner
Richard Fitzgerald WAS notified, who
viewed the remains and summoned jury,
consisting of Messrs. John Clancy, foreman;
Jack Towers, Charles Gayer, Thos, Lloyd,
D. j. Foley and - --. From the
witnesses that were examined it was learn
ed that he had, upon several occasions,
threatened to commit suicide because of
family troubles. 1t seems that he or his
wife had sued for divorce and be expected
every day to hear of the decision Of the
court. The verdict of the jury was in &C.
cordance with the foregoing circumstances.
In his very able defense Of himself,
published in the evening paper OF Monday,
States Attorney Damron uses this langu-
age: "He (meaning ''the meddlesome
editor of The BULLETIN') says that have
been conducting of late number of malici'
GUS prosecutions against Mrs. Mary Walker,
for keeping open tipping house on Sun
day. This is not true. Mrs. Walker was
but nominal defendant in those cases,
made 30 because it was reputed that she |
owned the saloon. She was neither ar
rested, gave no bond, or appeared at the
trial" THE BULLETIN deeming the point |
made by Mr.. Damron too trihing TO con.
tend for admitted 1t without investigation |
But just to satisfy its curiosity it yesterday |
went to the trouble to investigate and |
found that, even in this trivial point, the
only one in his whole article which THE
BULLETIN admitted had been we'll taken,
he, innocently, perhaps, grossly misrepre-
sented the facts. The facts are that Mrs.
Walker WAS the real defendant in the cases
that the warrants were made out against
HER because the business is being run in her
name; that SHE was arrested by Officer Guy |
Morse; that SHE appeared both in the court
of Justice Robinson and afterward, upon
a change of venue, before Magistrate Com.
ings to answer to the charges of selling
liquor contrary to law, and that the cases in
both these courts are docketed against,
Mrs, not Mr. Walker. II was only after
