Cleveland, DR.. Fl. B. Stearns of Hartford
Conn.,, DIR. Abram NJ. Shaw, superintendent OF
the Connecticut Hospital for the Insane, Dr.
Orphens Evarts, conductor of a private asylum
at College Hill, o., and Mrs. Scovlle occupied
in turn the witness stand. AS the former was
about TO answer the first question, Guiteau
broke in with his usual abuse. Judge Porter
demanded interference by the court and warm
"spat took place between Scoville and Porter
in consequence Judge Cox finally secured
silence and threatened to punish the prisoner
for contempt. DR.. Strong lodged an answer
on the hypothetical case and retired. The bal
ance of the experts testified to the sanity of the
prisoner. Mrs. Scoville identified a letter
written by her father in 1875, in which he said 1:
"Charles il. crazy and should be put in al
asylum" Adjourned until the 9th.
Thirty-ttird Dayton the 27th DR.. Melon
aid of the New York Hospital for the Insane, at
Wards Island, an acknowledged expert of in
sanity, was the chief witness. He gave if as
his opinion that Guiteau has been playing the
insane dodge ever since he murdered the Pres
ident.
Thirty fourth Ddy-Dr Mcdonald was re-
called for cross-examinatioh. Witness, when
asked what he meant yesterday by saying: Sc
think he has been feigning what he believed to
be insanity, replied Il believe he has been at
tempting to give the impression in court that
he Is insane, and with that idea has been acting
a part" DR.. Randolph Barksdale, superin-
tendent or the Central Lunatc Asylum, near
Richmond, Va, visited the prisoner In the Jail
and had also closely observed him in court and
from his personal examination and observation
was OF the opinion that he was sane. DR..
John II. Cullender, of Nashville, superintendent
of the Tennessee State Asylum for the Insane,
had given special attention to the subject OFF n
sanity for the past twelve years; had seen about
1000 cases during his connection with the Ten
nessee Asylum. Witness visited the prisoner in
jail and also closely observed him in court, and
believed him perfectly sane. At this juncture,
on demand of Judge Porter, prosecuting attor-
ney, Guiteau was remanded to the prisoners
dock much to his dissatisfaction.
Thdty. fourth Ddy.-Dr. Walter Kempster, of
the Northern Insane Hospital at Oshkosh, Wis,
was the chief witness for the prosecution. His
testimony was of an exceedingly striking char
acter and damaging to the defense. He dis
posed of DR.. Spitzkas theory that the irregular
formation of Guiteau's head was an evidence
of insanity, by exhibiting in court diagrams of
the heads of number of number of gentle
men, including Treasurer Gilillan, Col. Inger-
soil, Judge Carter, w. j. Sibley and Col. Cork
hill -" Col. Corkhill's head, said the witness,
:" has marked depression on one side. The
depressionis similar to the one in the prisoners
head" Guiteau remarked: {" Oh, he is crack
ed great deal worse than 1 am" When the
witness pointed out the peculiarities of Inger-
soils head, Guteau broke In with. "That shows
that Bob and / are both cracked in the same
direction" DR.. kempster was questioned on
every point which the defeuse has sought to
make to establish insanity, and replied to all of
them that be saw no evidences whatever Of In
