WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Guiteau
left the stand this AFTERNOON after
his three days' Siege, broken
man. He was tired out, haggard,
faded, disgusted, sullen, ugly aud
there seemed about him . con-
sclousness that Judge Porter, the
eross.examiner, had, despite his
cunning theories, and his persist
enee, shown that the inspiration
theory was simply y part Of the
defense planned long before, and
that the malice Of Guiteau brought
him to the rivers bank to fire 1T
the march reeds for targets.
'Do you feel any remorseW was
the last question which Judge Por-
ter asked. After having reflected
earnestly upon that point for some
Z moments,- the. prisoner answered
sullenly:3 ri have felt remorse, of
course, NJ far AZ my personal feel
ings are concsrped,d Judge Por-
ter, quick ss lightning, and dra-
smAtically. said; ."rhat will do,
prisoner; your examination il clos
sd.n Guiteau, whitening under
. the tremendous force of Judge Por-
,ter's question, saw the terrible
effect Of his confession. During all
these moments one part of his de-
tense has been insisting that he
never had had Q single sentiment
ef rsmOrse. During this CROSS
exAmination he has. said dozen
] times. to Judge. Porter's terrible
questions that bis mind was a
blank upon that subject. To all
the experts who have called upon
] him during these weeks he has
insisted with .gleeful pertiDacity
that a thought Of .remorse never
came to him; that. his mind upon
that subject was q blank; yes to-
day, ~ tbs. end of three days
Ierose-examination,, at the very
Crisis Of ~ rigid q crOss-examina-
ton as prisoner in q jury-box
was ever subjected to, he admitted
= to that which aeemed to bring q
shudder to his relatives and
caused Q sensation in Court. He
had killed the President and he
had suffered remorse. With cat.
like quIckness Guiteau rallied from
what seemed almost like paralysi
caused by the tremendous thunder
ing Of Judge Porter at him, and
, .ADdDaXpred to correct what he
plainly saw was the effect Of that
admission. But Judge Porter would
. not listen to Q word, but. waived
his hand. Scoville tried to parry
a the effect, but apparently without
success, and Guiteau left the stand
more discouraged than he has APP
peared at any time during the
trial.
