kind has been discovered to justify
even a reasonable suspicion that
Guiteau had an accomplish in his
crime, much less that he was the
instrument of a conspiracy to assas-
sinate the President. The proof, on
the contrary, is concu-ring and con-
elusive from many and from the best
informed sources that his mind has
been crazed for many years, and that
a mental arrangement may be traced
back even to infancy.

forty-two inches on a level. 1t has
drifted over the fences, hiding them
from view, and blocking up the
roads completely. The farmers have
been obliged to cut down the shade
trees near their farm-houses and use
them for firewood, as the snow pre-
vented them from hauling from the
woods. Great suffering is said to
have prevailed among the poor peo-
pie. In.one section, near the foot
of Blue Ridge, just where the Lees
burg turnpike crosses the mountains,
an old lady lived with a young
grandson alone in small house, a
mile away from the nearest dwelling.
She was completely entombed by
the snow drifting down from the
mountain, and for several days was
without food. Being reduced to
starvation, and knowing that sny
relief party would not be able to find
her house, she cut hole through
the roof, and thrust a long pole
through the snow with a gayly
coIored shawl on the end. It was
seen by persons, who notified an
old gentleman living couple of
miles away. He Immediately or
dered a coored man to mount a
hcrse aud take with him food
and fuel. He rode toward the
house until the horse was stuck in
the snow, and then could go 20
further. He managed with great
difficulty to get back home, and,
upon telling his employer, the latter
immediately summoned all the
hands on the place, and, getting as
near to the old woman's house as
they could, they worked with SHOW
els until they cut through into the
cabin. On breaking in they found
it was too late. The woman and
her grandson had both frozen to
death. 90
