citedly, and shouted out: 1T is purely in the

prisoner.
Corkhill- you ever see anything in the
prisoner to indicate insanity?
Answer-No sir, i never did.
Guiteau here broke into one Of his noisy har-
rangues.
Col Corkhil desired the court to restrain the
prisoner, when Guiteau turned to him and said:
