Guiteau's Lawyers.

WASHINGTON, September 26.--District
Attorney Corkhill to- day called at the
Jail, and being admitted to Guiteau's
cell informed him that the grand jury
would be in session next week and that
his case would then be called up, and
that an indictment would probably fol-
low. Colonel Corkhill offered to tele-
graph to any counsel Guiteau might
desire, intimating that it was the inten-
tention to give him an early trial. The
offer was accepted, and later in the day
Colonel Corkhill sent telegram for the
prisoner to Guiteau's brother-in-law,
George M. Scoville, of Chicago, in which
he requested that gentleman to come
here and defend his case. Guiteau also
requested Scoville to obtain the assist
ance of some able lawyer, and suggested
the name of Emory Storrs, of Chicago,
as such person.

A Clever Detective.

A Chicago police captain arrested
wife murderer, but could not find the
remains of the woman, and the case
seemed likely to fall through. Knowing
that the prisoner would be speedily dis
charged unless some proof was forth
coming, the Captain entered the cell
with a paper in his hand, and said:
Your wife isn't dead, after all. She was
found alive where you left her, and
taken to the hospital. This is her sworn
statement of what you did to her. She
wants to see you. The murderer was
completely deceived. On the way to the
hospital, as he supposed, he was induced
to tell where he shot his wife, and there
the body was found.

The Crowd at Cleveland.

A Cleveland special to the Evening
Post estimates the number of visitors in
the recent obsequies as follows: There
were $4,000 visitors on Saturday and
10000 on Monday, while of the local
population of 100000 more than 100,
600 were in the streets. The proposed
guarding of the vault with a detail of
militia for some time will avoid all pos
sible danger of the body being stolen
until the casket is finally placed in the
ground. An iron cage is being construct
ed for the reception of the casket. The
cage will rest on a cemented stone foun-
dation, surrounded by heavy masonry,
which will be part of the foundation for
the monument. The fund for the mon-
ument is growing rapidly, and subscrip-
tions are solicited of one dollar or less,
which will be registered.

Cream that Will Hang.

DIR. Cream and Mrs. Stott were in love
at Belvldere, ILL.,, and they concocted
peculiar plan for safely numbering the
woman's husband. Stott being i'll, the
Doctor was called In to attend him. A
prescription containing a safe amount of
strychnine was sent to a druggist, and
when the medicine came large quanti-
ty of the poison was added. 1t was cal
culated that Stott's death would at once
be traced TO the strychnine, and that its
presence in fatal proportion would be
ascribed to blunder by the druggists
The murderers would probably never
have been detected il the woman had
not distrusted her partner. When she
heard that he had himself announced
that death was the result of poisoning,
she mistakenly inferred that he meant
to fix the crime upon her, and she has
tened to make statement inculpating
him. His trial has just ended in con-
viction, and she will get off with
lighter punishment, because she became
witness for the prosecution.

New Jersey wants Guiteau.

REDBANK, n. j., September 27.-The
legal authorities of Monmouth county
have advised the attorney General of
the state and the attorney general of the
United States upon the propriety OF
filing accounts before the grand jury of
Monmouth county, at its meeting next
Tuesday against Guiteau for the murder
of President Garfield. 1t is held that
the waiver of the coroner's inquest by
the State does not deprive the grand
jury of this county of its power to indict
and try the criminal; also that the GRIM
inal law of New Jersey does not disqual-
ify citizen from serving on jury SIM
ply because he has expressed an opinion
on the case to be tried. If Attorney
General Stockton, of New Jersey, and
Attorney General MacVeagh consider
that the trial can be held here the pris-
oner will be brought to New jersey
The county prosecutor, John Lanning,
has decided to file before the grand jury
an indictment against Guiteau simply
as precautionary measure so that If the
Washington authorities deem 1t best to
have trial in New Jersey there shall
be no gap left for the escape of Guiteau
by the legal quibbles under the law of
the District of Columbia

For words are wonderful things;
They are sweet, like the bees fresh hon.
ey-
Like the bees, they have terrible
stings;
They eau bless, like tho warm, glad
sunshine,
And brighten lonely life;
They can cut, in the strife OF anger,
Like an open, two-cdgcd knife.
Let them pass through your lips unchal-
lenged,
If their GRAND is true aud kind
If they come to support The weary,
To comfort and help the blind;

Prompt the words, let them be un-
said;
They may flash through brain like
lightning.
Or fall on heart like lead.
Keep them back, if they're cold and
cruel,
Under bar and lock and seal;
The wounds they make, my darIings,
Are always slow TO heal.
May peace guard your lives, and ever,
From the time of your early youth,
May the words that you daily utter
lie the words OF beautiful truth.

of the rabbit that caused the trouble.
So, to satisfy himself, he had several,

That some of the gladstone faces

Would the hasty word and action,
Would the satire sharp and keen
From our lips have ever fallen,

Would we then have scofred so lightly
Let our heedlessness appear
IL we'd thought the kind inquiry

Would it then have been q trouble,
Would We then have wished it DER j.?

UIrEAU'S TRIAL.

1t was remarkable story that fell
from the lips OF Guitcau in the court
room in Washington, when, rs wit
ness for himself in his defense, based
on the plea Of insanity, he told how
the thought or, as he calls it, the in
spiration, to commit the deed Of
murder came to him, how in the first
feeling of horror he struggled with it
then prayed over it in order to make
sure that it was from the Deity, and
finally carried it into execution. He
committed the assassination under
Divine pressure, as political necessi-
ty, and his failure to get Office had
nothing to do with it. He had no i'll
will toward Garfield, and he removed
him because he believed the disrup.
ton of the Republican party would
lead to civil war. For this net he
thought, he would In the future be
called patriot, not an assassin.
Guiteau told his story apparently
with great earnestness, and with oc.
casional passionate outbursts. Some
of his statements provoked laughter,
rs when he said that for twenty years
it had been in his mind that he would
one day be President of the United
States, and yet believed he would be
elected. Most of tho time, however,
there was dramatic force in his
words and manner that commanded
the closest attention of the listeners.
He believed, not only that the Deity
inspired his act, but that the Deity
also protected his life, and so he had
no anxiety rs to the result of the trial.
The experts on insanity who are stu
dying the assassin are seated close by
the witness stand. The cross-exami.
nation OF Guiteau by ex-Judge Por.
ter was exciting, and at times the
prisoner burst out with passionate de-
clarations about the Divine inspiration
OF his act. He objected to the word
murder being applied to his act. say
ing he had not thought of murder in
removing the President.
