They had not even been turned
over to the property clerk
and consequently there is no police record of
them. The pistol was not taken from
the prisoner by Kearney, who first
laid hands on him, but by
Lieut. Eckloff. There were several parties
about the district attorneys Office to-day in
connection with the assassin to-day and
there was an air of righteousness
about each one admitted. Probably
the one most noticed was lady dressed in
black who spent sometime In Col. Corkhills
room. Inquiry failed either to elicit her name,
name of residence or her story.
CHIEF BROOKS 1NvEsTIG ALTON
WASHINGTON. July S.-Chief Brooks, of the
secret service division, no is investigating the
| assassination to see if Guiteau had any con-
federates, says to-day:
Our investigations about over. We looked
over the whole field. There is really nothing that
has been published in the case except the name
Of the unfortunate gentleman who through mis-
taken benevOence lent Gulteau money, believing
it was to help him pay his board. This would
probably be Of no importance to any one except
that gentleman himself, to make it public would be
doing great wrong, people are so apt to dlscredlt
what man says or does
Do you think from your examination or Gulteau
that he is insane?
He is an eccentric man, man who would be IA
matte about any subject he might dabble in. He
would 90 to extremes. do not think that any
thing he said to indicated irrationality. He is
| as any man An insane man or monoma-
MAC rather excites ones pity. He excites antag
| onism Ones disposition is to argue with him.
A PROUD DOMESTIC RECORD.
CHICAGO, July S-Mention has frequently
| been made of Guiteau marrying Miss Annie
Bunn Mrs. NJ J. Bum, mother of his wife,
| is and has been for some years an inmate OF
| the Old Peoples home in Chicago. To a re-
porter she said that her daughter first became
| acquainted with hlm in the fall of 1870. AL
| though at that time she knew him only as an
eccentric young lawyer with great aspirations,
| but no income, he devotedy attached to
| her. and his relatives were very desrous that
he should marry, hoping it would have ben
| eficial Influence on his wandering nature. This
was immediately after his soiourn in the
Oneida community He was married in Chi
cago aud the result was very unhappy. Guiteau
proved himself of a very proud and jealous
| disposition, which several times found vent in
bis beating his wife. They had but one child,
which did not survive the domestic tyranny, ,aad
| she would not have been divorced from him
had it not been for the interposition of her re-
lations In Philadelphia. 1t was because of his
outrageous treatment of her that they separa-
ted, not because of her poverty, and
although he never made any eff
fort to support her, but drifted
aimlessly from city to city like the wandering
| Jew, he knew she was true wife and greved
| for year and a half like a child. After the
divorce Guiteau never displayed any settled
ambition other than his wild passion for de-
| claiming on religious topics. The only time
| his mcutal alteration took violent form was
when he assaulted his sister, Mrs. Scoville,
some years ago, with an ak. That was in Wis
consir. His father had brother who died in
the lunatic asylum IN 1860, although the fact
was generally kept as quiet as possible. Gui
| teaus former wife has since married young
man in Leadvllle, but previous to this second
marriage, which has proven happy one, she
taught school successfully for several years il
