where he will be safe," said Mr.. Guiteau.
He will not be taken out of tho Jail. The

Guiteau and that he was hanged by the

took place, went in to view the remains
this afternoon, and about 2 o'clock re-
turned to the city.

Mr.. Charles H. Reed, Guiteau's counsel,
did not witness the execution. He said
he could not stand it and intended to leave
the city. 1t is not known whether Mr..
ScOyille is in town or not. John Guiteau
says that he has seen him and does not be-
lieve he is town.
HIS Brother Convinced OF His Insanity.
John Gniteau appeared to be in a very
serene frame Of mind after the execution.

Guiteau. I predicted just what would
happen that he would 60 bravely to the
gallOws. The trial was farce and to day
an insane man was executed. Whether he

would be convicted. 1t was not a question

The Autopsy.
At 2:3O o'clock DR.. F. B. LOrenz con-
cluded his examination of tho eyes of the
dead man. He found the left eye COM
pletely suffused with blood and both eyes
were SO indistinct that no opinion could be
formed of their condition. The physicians
who performed the autopsy were Drs. d.
8. Lamb, J. F. Hartiyan land z. tt
Sauers. John w. Guiteau and DR.. Hicks
were present for a short time, but left the
Jail before the conclusion of the autopsy
and returned to the city about three
o'clock.
A close examination of the body showed
that Guiteau's neck was broken, and that
the rope had cut deep into the flesh of his
neck.
Very soon after the hanging DR.. Hicks
and John w. Guiteau made a
thorough examination Of the cell
occupied by Guiteau. DR.. Hicks
took possession of the books and other
effects of the deceased. The Jail officers
took the rope from ths gallows and Sc
creted it as soon as the moose was removed
from the dead mans neck.
lho Funeral to take Place To-mrrOw.
Dr. Hicks said when asked about tho
burial, that he did not want to say when
the body would be inferred. Tho funeral
such as it will be will take place to-mor-
row and will bo as private as possible.
Warden Crocker says that all stories of
discoveries of attempts to convey poison
to Guiteau are purely sensational and with
out any foundation of fact.
