GUIrEAV's rRIAL.
His Wife and Exports Testify thst
he II not Insane.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-Judge Dady,
Of Oregon, and Judge Denison, of Ohio,
occupied seats on the bench with Judge
Cox this morning. The first witness
was George ID. Barnard, deputy clerk
Of the Supreme Court Of Kings county,
New York. He was called to prove the
divorce of Anna j. Gu:teau, from the
prisoner. He presented the record Of
the court. Mr.. ScOville objected that
the papers were not certified, but the
Court overruled him and the papers
were read Mr.. Scoville desired to note
an objection, but the prisoner broke in
with the statement that he admitted the
maViage and divorce. General Rey-
nolds was called ard cross-examined
by Mr.. Scoville, who censured him tor
suppreasing letters the prisoner had
given him for publication.
Witness read from notes of his first
interview with Guiteau, and explained
that the trial had not then been arran-
ged, and he had no idea OF being sub.
pTnaed as a witness. Guiteiu inter-
rupted necessarily and insuIted the
witness throughout. Ellen &. Grant
testified that the prisoner boarded forty
one days at her house, and she noticed
nothing to indicate insanity. Mrs Anna
j. Dunmire, Guiteau's divorced wife,
was called, and the prisoner protested
thai 1t was shame to drag her here.
Only two or three questions were asked
her, and in reply to the last one, she
said 81 never saw any signs of insan-
ity in the prisoner while lived with
him as his wife" Guiteau impressive
ly thanked the District Attorney fer
delicacy with rhis witness, and as EN-
phatically condemned Mr. Scoville for
his tedious and pointless cross.exami.
nation.
After recess, Dr. Francis b. Loring,
of Washington, an oculist, testified that
he made an examination Of Guiteau's
eyes, soon after his arrest, and detecteI i
no signs of brain disease. Dr. A. Nc
Lain Hamilton, of New York, who has
made mind and nervous diseases a spe-
cial study, was next called. He had eX-
amned the prisoner three times In the
Jail, and observed him in court since
the 2Sth Of November. He found no de.
tects in the formation Of the prisoners
head, and no symptoms of congenital
disease Of the brain. He considered
him an eccentric man. III further an
swer he said: al believe the man sarc,
though eccentric, and fully able to dis
between right and wrong and
to realize the consequences. After a
short interruption by the prisoner, and
pending the crUss-eX the
Court adjourned until Monday.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16 The nomi-
nation Of the Hon. BeDj.min Harris
Brewster, Of Pennsylvania, to be At
torney-General Of the United States,
was sent to the Senate by the Presi-
dent oday, and was referred to the
Judiciary Committee. 1t will IN
Idoubtedly be promptly confirmed. AL
though the President has been very
reticent concerning his Cabinet appoint
ments, there have for some time been
indications that Mr.. Brewster would
be Mr.. MacVesgh's Successor, and
his nomination has been predicted in
The Times. The selection of this
eminent lawyer is very satisfactory to
all who desire to nee an honest and
efficient administration Of the Depart
raeDt of Justice, and il very unsatis-
factory to the star r0ute ring.
The President has now chosen three
of the members OF the Cabinet-Mr.
Frey Mr.. Brewster and Mr..
Fol ger. There are the best of reasons
to believe that those who are to occupy
The remaining four places have already
been selected and that President Ar
thurs Cabinet will be made up as fol-
lows.
Secretary of State - Frederick T.
Frey inghuysen. of New Jersey.
Secretary Of the Treasury-CharlesJ j.
Folger, of New York.
Secretary of War-Robert T. Lincoln,

Secretary Of the Navy-George s.
Boutwell, of Massachusetts.

Howe, of Wisconsin,
Secretary of the Interior-Jerome B.
Chatfee, OF Colorado.

IL is not expected that the nomina-
tions for the War, Navy, Post Office,
and Interior Departments will be STINT
in until after the holiday recess,
although il may be necessary to appoint
Mr.. James successor before ttat time.
Some changes may be made in the list
given above as regards the tour places
yet to be filled, for changes have been
made at the last moment in some Cab
nets which were supposed to Pc finally
arranged but at the present time the
