Washington, 21.-In the Guiteau trial
DR.. Hamilton, of New York, took the
stand. Scoville desired to have other
experts excluded during ths testimony,
but the court ruled against him. Dur
ing the argument Davidge was inter-
rupted by Guitteau, who said: Il will
cut this short, Judge, by saying I am
perfectly willing TO have them mere.

Davidge-Tha.'s precisely what am

Guiteau-You are on the right track,
judge. III take you on my side. You
are engaged for my side of this case.
Witness was questioned at great
length relative to the operation Of minds,
the Significance OF dreama, and the IN
conscious expression as indicative of
mental processes. Counsel for the prose-
cuiion protested against the apparent OBJ
jective direction OF the inquiries.
Seoville (smilinG)-Well, gentlemen,
l told you did not know much about
this subject.
Guiteau-Then you had better get eff
the case if you don't know anything
about it. | think Reed and l can do
better than you, judging by the way you
are labc-ing. Looking over the notes
which Scoville held in his hand, be con-
tinued: " You've got lot of stuff there;

DR.. Worcester, Of Massachusetts,, who
refused, when upon the stand for the de-
