met and he could not resist the enticement
of lewd women on the street. He was
pressed to know whether he felt sense
of guilt; whether there was any conscious
ness of fremorse or repentance for the past or
any promise reformation for the future.
The church was disposed to deal fairly.
The gentlemen on that committee were
gentlemen who were above anything like
unfairness towards any person. Scoville
objected to the evidence as entirely mad
missable and the Court sustained the objec-
tion.
The District Attorney: I'VE present this
testimony because we want to show that
what the defense calls insanity is nothing
more than devilish deviltry.'
3 1t was with some difficulty that the ap-
plause which greeted this remark could be
quelled. Witness resuming his testimony
said it never required to him for moment
that the prisoner was other than sane.
Scoville questioned the witness closely re-
gardihg receiving a pronissory note for
S100 from Guiteau.s The prisoner kept
up a running discussion with the witness,
counsel and court. The court repeatedly
ordered him to keep quiet and allow the
witness to speak, but he continued in his
denunciation of the prosecution for its
s'impertinence in raking up my record.
Scoville also became angry at the prison
er's outbreaks, which prevented him fin
isling his questions, and at times declared
to him. II will clear out if you don't stop.
You must keep still" But neither the
court nor counsel could repress the pris-
oner Adjourned

time to go crazy hundred times since this
man saw me. That shows what stupid
work is beng done by the prosecution. If
you had paid for this instead the of tax pay

ness, never detected any signs whatever of
mental disturbance in the prisoner He
was always polite and behaved as gen
tleman. On the cross-examination SEQ
vile asked: 3tDo you remember that once
at the table discussion upon some re-
ligious topic arose, and Guiteau took part
and became so violent that they all left
him?"
A.-tNo, I do not
, Guiteau-''Theya all got through talking
and so they left. That's all there was to
that. / think we have had about enough
of this dog business
Howard Dunham; of Boston, took the
stand, but Guiteau forestalled his evidence
by shouting: II had deskroom with that
man few weeks in Boston, and that's all
he knows about it. 1t has cost the govern
ment 500 to get him."
Witness stated that in November 1879,
the prisoner secured desk room in his office
and remained there nearly two months,
when, as he was behind in his rent, and
witness did not like the style of the man,
he requested him to surrent Ter his key.
Prisoner told witness that there was no
money IN theology and he was going to
practice law.
Col. Corkhill then offered letter writ
ten by Guiteau to witness last June. SEQ
vile objected on the ground that the bur
den of proof rests with the government.
The plea of insanity having been set up by
the defense the prosecution cannot at this
time introduce any evidence to establish
the sanity of the prisoner. 1t should have
been introduced in the evi dence in chief

The letter was then read. 1t was dated
higgs House, June s. and contained re-
quest for copy of his book, Truth,

was getting out revised edition Wit

MN and his observations of his conduct he
never suspected any insanity in the pris-
auiteau-.fYou thought I was badly.

McArthur again took the stand. Guiteau
shouted out 'sYour Honor"
scoville-"Keep still. please
Guiteau-''W well then you state it at once.
If YOU don't I will"
Scoville then addressed the Court and
objected to the character of the evidence
which had been given by the witness on
the ground that evidence as to any other
crime shall not be introduced when prise
ner is on trial for this particular offence.
He desired oil such evidence to be
stricken out. Guiteau here broke. in ex
eitedly and shouted out: is purely in
the nature OF q confessional, Macarthur
il not an expert as lawyer and object
to his telling the jury and American peo-
pie facts which told him years ago in
regard to my history" The cotut ruled
the evidence could be admitted as tending
to show the general character of the pris-
tner.
Corkhill-"Did you ever see anything in
the prisoner to indicate insanity?"
Ans.-"No sir, never did"
Guiteau here broke into Que of his
NOISY HARANeuEs,
and despite the caution of the court and
ezpostulations Of counsel proceeded to
express his opinion of DIR. Macarthur in
terms not at all delicate. Returning to the
reporters table he declaimed for some min
utes against the ''scandalous reports OF his
character and singing out the reporter
of the Republican, ne shook his fist at him
threateningly.
Corkhill desired the Court to restrain
the prisoner when Guiteau turned to him
and said ''you go slow CorkhiIl you are
