have been difficult to be otherwise to the gentle,
beautiful girl who appeared so lonely.

Caustic Criticism OF the Trial.
NEW YORK, November 2e.-English law
yers here are more than ever amazed at the
criminal lawyer said to-day: What on earth
are the American courts coming to? Judge
Cox does nothing. He takes no pains to get
at the fact. of Guiteau's alleged insanity. He
makes no pretense Of keeping the lawyers mp
to their work. He allows them, oikhill in
cluded, to make stump speeches intended for
the outside. He does not even make the
ushers discharge their duties and keep order.
What is he there for? ! said that he was
there probably TO assist the jury iu summing
up. But, declared my friend the @. c., the
American judges don't sum up. They are
me.. RECEIPT acles for evidence dribbled and
driyelled out to them, and their summing up
Is simply to retail all that stuff TO bore the
jury and instruct them to bring In a verdict
OF guilty IL they are satisfied of the priso-
ner's guilt and to acquit him il they are sure
he is innocent. They don't winnow the
wheat from the chat, or gather all the facts,
or point out conclusions to be drawn, but
shoot sacks Of rubbish, which they admit as
evidence, into the jury box, and expect
twelve men, chosen, according to the Ame,-
lean system, because Of their almost invinci-
BILE ignorance, to render justice. Why do
not the American people, who aim at efficacy
In all other things, secure trained lawyers
for judges and see that great causes like this
are committed TO competent counsel?
