THE GUITEAU TRIAL.

Fifth Week OF the National Comedy.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The fifth wcel
of the Guiteau trial commenced with un
abated interest. DR.. Edward Charles
Spitzka, of New York, testified that he
believed the prisoner insane, and that he
was moral mOnstrosity. The
cross examination was quite pointed,
regarding witness standing as an expert
and disposition as professor at a veterinary
school. Witness said he was not ashamed
of that branch of study.
Mr.. Davidge inquired if it were not
what is commonly called "horse doc
tor"
Witness, reddening, and with some excite
ment sail, " My treatment has been con-
fined to asses-when an ass with two legs
asks me stupid question l endeavor to
treat him as he deserves. General laugh
ter at expense of cOunsel.)
Witness then stated that he had visited
tue Jail under an assumed name as phre-
nOlOgist SO as to study the prisoner better.
He found him vain with good memory
and tho attainments of third-rate shyster
lawyer, but convinced of the delusion that
he had sacrificed himself for tho good of
the American people. Witness would not
express an opinion on the moral RESPONSE
bility of the prisoner. The latter became
very angry again when the subject of his
"depravity was referred to and asked
the prosecution not to harp on that subject.
A recess was then taken.

\ Church Dispute.

For some time past there has been
trouble among the ccIoIed brethren who
worship Ut the church in Feagleysville.
The property was held in trust by board
of trustees, Of whom Rev. NJ. NJ. Diggs
was one OF the most active, and by whose
labors Il considerable part of the cost Of
the building was raised. A portion of the
congregation became hostile to Mr.. Diggs
for some reason or other and tried to
oust him. He says they oppose him
because hc is a Democrat. Recently
Edward Hunter purchased the property
but has not paid for if. The Diggs fac
zion, having about sl2O in it, claimed the
right to worship therein until they got
their money cut, and it was announced
that Rev. NJ. NJ. DiGgs would preach there
yesterday. The Hunter party determined
to prevent it, aud appeared at the church
armcI with clubs. There was some ex-
citement, but Hunter held the fort, tho
Diggsites not venturirg to attack and dis
possess them.
