MOuthings from the Dock-The Irrepress- ibIe Guiteau Continues to Interrupt
 The Government to Close Their Case
 To-day-The Order of Closing Speeches
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-This morning the lawyers for the prosecution were a little tardy and Guiteau filled up the time with 8 speech. He showed no disposition to. stop talking, and kept interrupting as usual in a very intemperate and hateful manner. He was, or pretended to be, much displeased at Mir. scovilIe for reading letter of his to Senator Don Cameron, asking for $500. The letter was as follows:
 Hon. Don Cameron
 DEAR SIR: am on trial for my life, and I need money. Stalwart of the Stalwarts, and so are
 you f01 MI meade e' b going to you to let $500. If get out of this will return it. not, charge it to the sta- warts.
 Yours for our cause, and very cordially
 In Court, Washington. D. C., Dec. 19. ISs1. P. S.-Pease give your cheek to my brother, J. w.. Guteau, of Boston, and make it payable to my order He deported himself in @ most scandalous manner, until MT. Corkhill said if this con- duct was persisted in he should move that the dock be placed in another part of the room. s'Make your motion,'' said MT. Scoville !; s'put the dock in the basement if you want to, we will make no objection, but we don't ! want you to make harangue to the jury and repeat the eloquence of yesterday" Dr. Kempster, superintendent of the Wis consin State Hospital for the Insane, was next called. He had made frequent post mortem examinations, and from his investi- | gations believed insanity to be disease of \ the brain. Insanity did not, in his opinion, | show itself in the shape of the head. He | thought Gulteau's head was not fully sym naetrical but no indications were present ofin- | sanity. It is almost impossible to find per- ! fectly symmetrical head. Guiteau's head, as to shape and size, compared very y favorably | with most in the community. The doctor | illustrated his position by showing number \ of hat measurements taken from heads of | distinguished persons.
 A recess was then taken.
 After the recess MT. Reed crosse examined Dr. Kempster at length and repeatedly trod ! on the corns of Judge Porter who accused him of deliberately and repeatedly misrepre- senting statements in the report of Dr. Kempster in order to get an admission that he believed in moral insanity. There was quite scene here. Porter acclaimed ir l tragical fashion and the prisoner mocked him over and over again, much to the annoyance l of the District attorney. The court had al
 last to interfere and direct the case to pro
 ceed., MT. Porter objected to almost every question,put and the prisoner at last shouted 1 impatiently when the judge said the cast
 should get to the jury sometime: 'sIf yor

 MT. Reed received to-day letter fror
 Jacksonville, H., saying: 'tDr. MoFarlan
 has treated members of the Guiteau famil
 and is thorough expert. He believes hir insane. You remember him in the Hopp
 case Subpoena him here" Mir. Reed wi l endeayor to have the doctor Subpoenaed.
