Canon Campello, of the Basilica ST.
Peter, who recently abjured the church of
Rome, is about to publish his autobiogra-
ply, declaring that he and a number of
other high ecclesiastics endeayored 10
bring about reform of the papacy and
obtain recognition of the right of the
Catholic clergy and people to vote at the
election OF pope, but the policy of Pope

Among the incidents at the Grand Army
and eX-confederate reunion at Chickering
hall in New York to pay tribute to Gar
field, was the following: When the
chairman announced as next speaker
Major General Simon B. Buckner, of the
confederate army, the audience rose and
| waved handkerchiefs " idely and cheered
for many minutes, Overcome by ouch q
cordial reception Gen. Buckner was up-
able to address the assemblage at any
length, but asked permission TO delegate
| In his stead another soldier who wore the
| grey, Gen. VIM. Preston. of Kentucky,
an officer in the confederate army. .,e
was introduced by Buckner and was re-
ceived very enthusiastically. He WAS
frequently interrupted by cheers.
Guiteau insists that he would have en-
lnent counsel and can only think of his
broIher-in-law, Scoyille, of Chicago. who
may aid him. 1t will be difficult for the
court to find counsel who would defend
him or utter word that would save his
neck. Guiteau still believes if he could
escape mob violence and get u fair trial he
| would be acquitted. He is sure the
American people will transfer their sym
pathles from that lump of clay, Garfield"
to himself. He expresses no remorse but
gloats over his success. He is in a con-
slant state of fear since Garfield died and
! II he hears any unusual noise or the steps
| OF more than one person approaching bis
cell he endeavors 10 hide under the bed.
! he Is pusllianimouS coward. He saws
he cannot be tried for murder BECAUSE no
malice can be shown, as Garfield's death
was political necessity.
! The examination of Garfeld's remains
show that the statements of the bulletin
! publishing the first accounts OF the autopsy
| were absolutely correct and that nothing
had been concealed. DIR. Schrody and
Prof. Welsse were among those outside
surgeons who believed the president
would recover, the opinion of course be-
ing founded upon the diagnosis of the case
as it existed before the revelations of the
autopsy. they now think there never
was chance of recovery, and that the
fact that the patient survived for 80 days
| Is astonishing in a medical point of view.
| The statement to be published here allud-
| ed 10 is not an official history of the case
but relates only to the autopsy. The for
mer will not be ready before December
and will be published by the surgeon
generals department of the army.
