Guiteau's Inspiration-It Follows the
 Assassin into More Trivial Matters of His Lifeline Cross-Examinatfon Fin ished-The Prisoner Tired Out-Insan- fty Experts Coming Up TO-day.,
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The crowd in the court room to-day was tremendous. Judge Porter continued his cross-examination, his questioning going to show the inconsistency of Guiteau in claiming inspiration from his own contemplated ''theocratic daily'' news paper while he denounced similar publiea- tions, actual or proposed, written by Moves and sanctioned by the Oneida community The witness was very guarded concerning the reading of the prospectus of his newspaper, and professed to be afraid that Judge Porter would garble it or read from a mutilated copy. Finally he consented to let District Attorney Corkhin read the document. It was quite long and has been published. To- days proceedings up to the close of the cross examination were repetition of yesterday $ except the reading of some of the prisoners writings. Judge Porter's questions were di- rected to show that the inspiration" which the prisoner claimed was nothing unusual, and that he had been frequently inspired and on trivial matters. This afternoon he gave attention to the motive, bringing out the de- ! liberation with which the stremovaF' of the President was planned and the plans per- | fected by the prisoner to secure his safety ! after the deed. The prisoners manner grew ! more and more insolent, and soon after re- ! cess he coolly took up number of New York morning newspapers and began to read ! them, answering such questions as he chose | with an air of the greatest indifference. He | had objected to Judge Porter's whole line of | examination as ''repetitions," irrelevant, ' and ssstupid." Judge Porter led the inquiry, \ however, to the shooting, and Guiteau gave
 8 graphic account of that occurrence, listened | to, of course, with intense interest. Judge | Porter's last question was: Do you feel any remorse ?'' Guitsau lodged this for g | moment, then said "Why of course fell | remorse, human remorse. I felt sorry ! "The cross-examination is closed, '" said Judge Porter, and he sat down.
 MT. Scoyille then took the prisoner in hand | and he said, in reference to an interview l with Colonel Corkhin and MT. ScoviIle, thai he then predicted the President s death when
 all the papers said he would recover. He said so because he did not think the Lord de- l sired the President to recover.
 Colonel Corkhin objected to questioning or the subject of this interview and the court sustained it.
 The prisoner was here handed a letter fol identification which Mir. Scoville proceeded | to read. It was addressed to Hon. John H AQamS. The letter stated GnaC the newspaper project was going ahead finely. He expected
 to receive $15. 900 from Adams, Charley Far l well and others and to secure them by poll cy on his life. The estimated net revenue per year was placed at $4o0.000. The pris oner said this offer was sincere. He hac seen Mir. Adams once before he addressed hi
 letter to him and Adams thought him cranl and refused to dine with him, pleading othel engagements. MT. Scoville then went ove
 the same ground as Judge Porter had covered
 in the morning. Guiteau explained the visi
 of committee who labored with him whel
 he was on the point of leaving the Oneidl
 community. The men were thirty or fort.
 years older than himself and he went bacl
 because he then believed his salvation de pended upon it. He did not know whethe
 he had written any other letters than thos produced did not know that these were i
 existence, but supposed they had been du
 up. He here gave a little account of how
