Davidge Ito witness)-'You said he state,
that you would see his name in the papers Il
connection with the Paris consulship?"
Prisoner-"I never said that"
Davldge-"Well, he says, Mr.. Prisoner, 20,
did say It."
The prisoner in persevering manner de
clared he had not said SO. He also indignant.
denied witnesses statement that he had no
been admitted to the bar in Chicago. He dit
not want any tricking about the case.
THE GAG THREATENED.
The court, impatient at the prisoners con

| in a stern and determined tone said: eff there
is no other way of preventing these interrup.
tions you will have to be gagged"
''Well," began the prisoner.

Even this threat, though 1t had momen-
tary effect on the prisoner, could not entirely
repress him and he again denied the converse
ton detailed by witness, who, he said, "was
a very good fellow but wrong there" 81 am
going to have the facts In this case," he con-
tinued, sand nothing but the facts. want
the Judge and the jury to decide upon the facts
and upon nothing else. The witness is en-
tirely erroneous in his memory"
Davidge-"Did Guiteau say you would see
his name in the newspapers in few days as
consul at Paris or that he wonld make q
fuss?''
Witness-"He said, IF do not get it,
(refecting) will find his exact language"
The prisoner-(interrupting) "1t is abso-
lutely false. never said any such thing.
That has nothing at all to do with my intend
fense entirely in the inspiration which came
from the Deity for that act and I will take my
chances on the result. do not want any ly-
ing or nonsense in this business and I will not
have it.n
Davidge Ito witness-"Go on
The witness-"He said in connection with
the administration, that if he did not get the
Paris consulate, he would either make fuss.
or do something about it in the newspapers"
The paisoner-"I never said anything of the
kind, and never thought anything of the kind.
That is the result of your own Imagination,
Mr.. Reed and it's not true. You are good
fellow, and 1 think good deal of you, but
you are mistaken in your facts" (After q
pause.) 81 was not in the habit of telling my
business in that kind of a way, to anybody"
Davidge further inquired about the prisoner
appearing to defend criminal cases in Chicago,
and witness said he could not tell how many
cases he had appeared in.
The Prisoner-"Thst is another mistake. I
never had criminal case in Chicago"
Davidge came back to the prisoners state
ment that his pamphlet on Christ's second
coming was as much inspired as the new testa-
ment.
81 claimed it then," the prisoner spoke in,
"and claim it now-just as much inspired as
the old testament or the new either.''
Davidge Ito witness)-"You said something
of your translating the Greek testament
Witness-"I said Guiteau said he had seen
something which had written in the Chicago
Tribune about the translation of the new
testament.
Prisoner-"That is true. did see some-
thing of the kind. Mr.. Reed is a fine Greek
Scholar
AFTER RECESS.
After recess Scoville asked for an attach
ment against Emory A. Storrs. He under
stood Storrs had been served with subpoena
but positively refused to come as there might
be some doubt. however, whether the subpoena
had been actually served, he would postpone
his application for the present.
The prisoner in this connection expressed
hope that Storrs would not be attached unless
absolutely necessary, because he was a very
nice fellow.
AN AMUSING WITNESS.
II. B. Amerling, at present lawyer in Will
Transport, Pa, and who formerly lived in
Freeport, ILL.,, testified to peculiarities of Lu-
ther w. Guiteau.
The cross-examination of this witness was
very amusing, he being rather prosy, and de-
string to give an explanation of nearly every
answer. Davidge questioned the witness
searchingly in regard to a letter which his
500, at his request, had written to Freeport,
to Mr.. Oiler, making inquiries as to the
strange actions of Luther W. Guiteau.
Witness replied that he had told his son to
write the letter, not out of any love for Chas.
j. Guiteau, but out of respect for his family.
81 loved L. W. Gnlteau" said the witness,
Gas did my own brother.'

case. have no love for the prisoner, none
whatever; because say to you I thought it
was terrible wrong in shooting the presi-

Witness stated that he had no acquaintance
with the prisoner, but subsequently said the
| prisoner had made threats against him.
"Why," broke in the prisoner, 81 never saw
you before in my life till you came to the Jail
last Saturday.
scoville then questioned the witness as to
| the occasion on which he had been threatened
| by the prisoner.
