Washington, July 7.-Guitteau says:
"This thing has been on my mind. and
l could not sleep. Now that it is over,
my only wish is that he may not re-
cover and make my act fruitless. My
mind would be perfectly at rest if he
died, and l do not fear any of the con-
sequences"
The prisoner is apparently cool and
unconcerned. The officials of the jail
think from his talk he betrays no indi-
cations of insanity.
Guitteau said to-day that after buy
ing the pistol he went down on the
river front to try and practice, SO that
he could be sure of firing deadly shot.
He fired twice, but the pistol made
such loud report and kicked so hard,
that he was afraid of it, and did not
fire again. He would have fired third
shot, but believed the president dead, as
he turned very pale and fell heavily.
Assistant District Attorney Cook
does not believe the insanity story.
Col. Angler, city postmaster. believes
Guitteau has been receiving money
orders from New York in his own or an
