George w. Olds, of Michigan, testified
to Mrs Scoville charging Guiteau with be-
ing crazy, and saying that he had attempted
to kill her, and asking the witness to put
him off the place Witness related how
Guiteau soaped hickory trees, insisting that
they were fruit trees, and how, when weed
ing, he pulled up more strawberries and tur-
nips than weeds.
Prisoner-''I think we have had enough
of this kind of talk fTo Scoville, who
tried to keep him quiet.) Keep quiet your
self. (to COURT The fact is that during
the fall of 1851 spent several months try
ing to get hold of the Chicago Inter Ocessn
/ exhausted myself on that, and along in
the spring had not much law business.
Mr.. Scoville had very fine farm and coun

the summer of 1876 to spend couple of
months. | did try to do some farming
work to pay for my board. That is all.
went back to Chicago and opened law
office, and did well there. [ always did
well with the law, when / stuck to my
business"
The district attorney objected to the
question put by Scoville to the witness.
The prisoner Ito the district attorney
II hope you gentlemen will insist upon or
der in this matter, and not allow this kind
of thing to GO on. 1t has no bearing on
this case at all, and viii not have it,
Witness was asked further as to Gui-
teau's troubles with Mrs ScoVille.
Prisoner-'1t is not true. never made
any trouble with any body.
WANT THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH,
and when the defense comes in with such
nonsense, want to protest against it, and
want you gentlemen addressing the
prosecuting counseD to sustain me in it. !"
Davidge-|'We will get it all right"
The prisoner-"Very well, sir
Scoville Ito witness )-"Did you form
any opinion as to whether he was sane or
insane?"
The prisoner-'1 object The witness
is not an expert
The cross examination was very searching
and the story of his acts when with Mrs.
Scoville having again been alluded to, the
prisoner declared it to be lie. That was
a short way to put it. He had shown no
anger to his sister at all, though no doubt
she thought so. AS a matter Of fact it was
all nonsense. In redirect examination ref
erence was made to the incident of Guiteau
soaping hickory trees.
Prisoner-''I i remember hearing of that
soaping business, but did not care any
thing about it. / was studying theology
at that time

FACTS,

Those contemplating d trip westward
will certainly do we'll to tatefully con.
suit the time tables Of the Baltimore and
Ohio road. Its celebrated fast trains,
its sure connections, and rates always as
low as the lowest, make it beyond all
controversy the best line west. Colos
nists are carried in first class cars on fast
trains, and every possible care is taken
to insure aomfort and convenience.
Trains run through without change of
cars to Chicago, where direct connection
is made with al leading lines to the
west, northwest and southwest, making
but single change of cars to Iowa,
Kansss, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota.
etc. No other line can offer such advan.
tages as the Baltimore and Ohio.-Its
costs but very little time and trouble
to learn this, and in the end may lead
to the saving of much of both as well as
money. Above all things do not pur-
chase tickets before having talk or re-.
