strengthen 1.-The case more fully. These
witnesses will testify that they consider
Guiteau perfectly sane, and that he is
acting the part of maniac. When the
time comes for the delivering of the
closing argument Corkhill thinks the
government can present its case in one
day, but thinks the defense will require
several days.

society because, although nevermarried

actress, and that lie would introduce
these children here. Investigation shows
that the scandal smongers have printed
that which was not true aud have don,
great injustice to avery estimable gen
