some of them not accustomed to good

tected any signs of insanity in the pris-
oncr.
Scoville began to c-ross-examine the
witness when Guiteau, in great rage,
shouted: I never saw this man but once
in nay life and that was in 1873; never
saw him but Eve minutes then. What
does he know about me2 This shows
just how little sense you have got,
Corkhill, to put up this man as an eI-
pert. ITO Scoville) And you have not
got common horse sense to waste the
time of the court to examine his charac-
ter. He was only a clerk in a lawyers
office anyway.
Re-examined by Corkhill.
Witness: In my opinion, at the time
L knew him, he was thoroughly compe-
tent to distinguish right from wrong.
Exception by Scoville. Mr.. Scoville
asked: What is your opinion Of the pris-
oner's ability to distinguish between
right and wrong at the present time?
Question ruled out and another ex
ception noted by Scoville.
K. NJ. Justice, a lawyer Of Logans-
port, Ind, me the prisoner in 1873;
the prisoner was selling the book, Life
Of Moody"
Guiteau interrupted: You are mix
ing me up with some one else, sir.
Witness continued, but was again in
terrupted by Guiteau, who shouted:
Stop right here; can you prove me as
the mani
Witness: l think L can.
Guiteau: Can you swear to itf
Witness: Yes, I can.
Guiteau: Well, you are a liar, sir, a
miserable liar; that is the best way to
dispose OF you.
Witness continuing, said the prisoner
remained in Logansport about three
weeks selling the book.
Guiteau continually interjected abus-
i've comments, and finally shouted: You
miserable whelp, to come in here and
make me out as a book agent. 1 was
preaching the gospel and 1 sold my own
productions. In a few minutes he
turned to Scoville with intense digust
and said: o, cut this fool short, he is
lying all through; don't waste time on
him.
Scoville asked: What was the appear
ance of the prisoner when you knew
him?
A. He looked about the same as
now, except about the eyes.
Q. What was different in the ex-
preston of his eyesp
A. At that time he had a free ex-
preston, now the expression seems sup
pressed.
Guiteau: 1 don't think 1 am much
suppressed this morning. 1t seems to
me that Pm pretty lively. Guiteau
gradually worked himself into a tower
ing rage and declared against the wit
ness, prosecution and the cranks whom
he claimed had threatened him Will,
violence, his BillingsGate being espe-
cially directed against the prosecuting
attorney. Referring to Corkhill, he
said: He is getting too dirty and too
sinking to live, and the first thing that
he knows God Almighty will take him
of and send him down below.
Rev. Rush R. shopper, pastor Of All
Saints church, Washington, boarded at
the same house and occupied a seat at
the same table with the prisoner from
April last until the day before the muir
der of the president. when he (prisoner)
disappeared. Witness had frequently
conversed with the prisoner, as both
had lived in Chicago, and thai the
formal basis of conversation which led
to quite familiar acquaintance, the pris-
oner was a little nervous, chatty and
polite. Witness never detected any
thing to indicate insanity. The topics
Of conversation were Conkling and Gar
field, and the New Testament revision,
and exhibited no more excitement than
any other person might.
Mrs. Dunmic, former wife of Gull
teau, took the stand: She was married
to the prisoner in $50.
Scoville objected, unless the record
proof Of divorce was shown.
Witness was then withdrawn, Cork
hill saying he would introduce the wit,
ness after obtaining a copy Of the re
cord.
DIR. Noble, a young physician at thu
Jail, related the particulars Of severa
talks with the prisoner. At one tim,
he asked the prisoner why he removed
