cards to the secretary. or let him see
the secretary. Did not notice any
thing peculiar about him, except that
he was a nervous individual and SEEM

Brown.
J. Stanley Brown. private secretary
of President Garfield. testified to Quit

must no longer trouble the Office. He
had told Guiteau himself and had reIt-

consular service, must go to the state
department. Witness identified
large number of letters from Guiteau
to the president, which the district
attorney proceeded to read. The frst
is reminder to Gen. Garfield that be.

He says: Mr.. -Casson of Iowa. under
stand wishes to remain at Vienna till
fall. He is good fellow, 1 should not
wish to disturb him. In any event
what do you think of me for consul
general for Paris. 1 think 1 prefer
Paris to Vienna and If agreeable to
youIshould be satisfied with consulship
at Paris. Senators Blaine. Logan and
Conkling are friendly to me, and pre-
sumo my appointment will be promptly
confirmed / claim to be a gentleman
and christian.
Second letter presses for Paris con-
sslship saying: Men that did business
last fall are the ones to be remem-
bered.
The third letter suggests to General
Garfield: Would it not be well to with
draw Robertson's nomination on the
ground that Conkling has worked him
self to white heat of opposition. 1t
might be done quietly and gracefully,
on the ground that since the nomina-
tion, many merchants and others in
New York had petitioned for the re-
tention of Gen. Merritt. 1 have taken
the liberty of making this suggestion
to Mr.. Blaine.
The fourth letter to President Gar
field says: If you work your position
for all it is worth, you can be nomina-
ted and elected in 1884. Two national
conventions have slaughtered Blaine
on account of his railroad record and
connections. The republican party
is afraid to run him, this leaves way
foT you to run for the presidency on
your own account. Strike out right
and left. American people like pluck,
and in 1884 we will put you in again.
Another private letter to Garfield
says: Until Saturday l supposed Blaine
was my friend in the matter Of Paris
consulship, but from his tone on Satur-
day, judge that he is trying to run
the state department in the interest
Of the Blaine element in 1884. I want
to get in my work for you in 1884. May
/ tell Mr.. Blaine to prepare the order for
my appointment to the Paris consul
ship, vice Geo. Walker recalledp
Another letter was read in which
Guiteau refers to Sec'y Blaine as q
wicked man; which was read by the
district attorney in his opening address
yesterday.
The district attorney said to Mr..
Brown: These are all the letters from
the prisoner that you found on the files
of the executive Officer
Witness. Yes.
Prisoner. They are all that I ever
wrote; and are correct.
On the cross examination Mr.. Sco-
uille inquired as to two letters written
by Guiteau to Garfield in Mentor. The
witness said he saw them.
