TEJEGRAM:

NEW YORK, Jan. Is, 1882.
1Hf. ScoosIe, Attorney for Guiteau:
The New York Court of Appeals have
just decided that in q prosecution where
some evidence Of insanity is produced for
the defense, they must make out case
of sanity beyond reasonable doubt
Counsel for the defense will call aten-
ton to this latest decision, and will ask
Judge Cox to charge the jury to that
effect.
Just as Scoville was about to resume his
argument, Guiteau broke out with consid-
erable vehemence and shouted "Some-
thing has been said here about politics,
and want to talk little about politics,
too. There are two or three
CRANK NEWSPAPERS
in the country, to-wit: Reids New York
Iribune to-wit: Medills Chicago Tribune;
wit: Halstead's Cincinnati Commercial;
to-wit: Ge orge William Curtis, the man
milliner of New York. The weather has
been getting cool lately, and those fellows
had better lie off under the trees and cool
off little The only cranks in the country
are these fellows. They had better join
the Grant -Guiteau- Arthur combination and
get into good company and become good
republicans.
A few minutes later the prisoner, who
had been looking over the New York pa
pers, called out, L see the New York
Court of Appeals have decided in favor OF
our theory on the insanity question.
thank you, Messrs. Judges"
Scoville discussed the
CONDUCT AND ACTIONS OF GUITEAU
at the time and Immediately after the
shooting, and contended that they were en-
tirely in keeping with the theory of insan-
ity. That his coldness, and his quietly GO
ing to bed and peacefully sleeping. the
night after the murder were characteristic
| incidents of crime such as would be expect
ed from an insane man and insane men.
| Guiteau called QUIT have never had
any conception of his removal as mur
derer. My mind is perfectly blank ON that
question"
Scoville read from the evidence of Gen.
REYNOLDS, what Guiteau had told to him
Reynoldsl in jail; that when his reasons
were known to people they would acquit
him without trial, and that he should go tO
Europe for q year or two.
Guiteau-"An / have got to say about
that is that / never said it"
ScoyiIle continued: This, gentleman,
is the evidence offered you by the prose
cution / want you to take into consider
alton the monstrous absurdity of such a
proposition coming from sane man, as
they would have you believe, that he could
kill the President of the United States and
then by simply giving out that his reason
was gone, could go free without trial.
Scoville alluded to Guiteau's remark
when told by General Reynolds that Ar
thur and Conkling and other Stalwarts de-
| tested him and abhored his crime.
Guiteau interrupted, saying: Il did not
say any such thing when he spoke of
Conl<ling and Arthur, on the 4th of July.
These men are my friends to-day, and
don't you forget it.
Scoville continued with a review of the
evidence, and called attention to various
incidents of Guiteau's life, arguing his in
sanity as evidenced by undouhted lack of
something in his mental composition pos
sessed by other men,
Scoville continued until adjournment at

TIE MOREY MATTER.



Forgery.
An Inter-Ocean New York Special pur-
ports to give the inside history OF the Gel
ebrated MOrey letter on the Chinese
question. The dispatch Is to the effect
that John |. Davenport has been at
work % months in an endeavOr to ferret
out the authorship of the forgery; that
he finally got the whole story, its cOncep-
fessiOu of the fOrger, and that he was
about to publish the facts in pamphlet
form. That the man who forged the
document was named, Ii. II. Hadly,
renegade Republican in the employ Of
the Democratic national committee, and
that the same leading spirits in that
body were cOgnizant of and approved the
forgery. The story as told Is to the eff
feet that Hadley as protested leader OF
a certain body of voters in New York,
wrote Gen. Garfield asking an explana-
ton and answer to the credit mObelier
charges. The letter was answered by
Private Secretary Brown, in closing the
manuscript of Gen. Garfields speech on
the subject to his constituents in 1873.
They thus got Gar6eld's autograph. The
dispatch continued, Hadly was an expert
penman and spent several days in study
ing and practicing the handwriting and
autograph of Gen. Garfield. The station
ary stores were ransacked to find paper
similar to that used at Mentor and then
Hadley wrote the famous forgery. The
envelope was prepared to correspond
with that which Hadley had from Men
tor and put through process to make III
. look sOiled and worn. When finished,
Randall, Hewett and several other repu-
table Democrats were shown it, who had
no doubt of its genuineness." The dis
patch concludes with the statement that
electrOtype fac simile was offered the
Sun, which refused to publish it. 1t was
then taken to Truth and there publish
ed. A special train was chartered u
Tt is said that Davenport not only has
Hadley's confession but number OF his
practice sheets and the final copy from
which the fac smile was made.

A Little Iron Bound Hay wanted.

From the Ishpeming Iron Agitator.
The Detroit Evening News of Monday
contains an article taking up column
of space. which is headed "Will Iron
Boom Again?" which, as plain, unyar-
nished collection of horrible bulls and
errors, rather eclipses anything we have
vet seen, even in the smaller granger
prints. The article cries down iron
mOnOpolies, giving reasons that cannot
but amuse the men who handle iron as
a trade. In conclusion the article winds

ment. we will say that the output OF
iron ore from the Lake Superior region
i'm 1881 was 1921 1916 gross tons and 49,
67S.585 tons less than stated by our De-
trOit contemporary. In the twenty-slx
wears that the mining region has been
operated, including 1881, the total out
nut of ore was 17,343, 407 or 1855, 593 tons
less than the News credits US with pro-
ducinp in 1881. So far this season, the
Output from the entire lake region, up
To Wednesday Of last week, was 2,152, 475
gross tons, and we do not imagine the
Coming two months will witness 25yOOO,-
600 tons sent out, to make the figures
read as the News gives them. As free
trade organ the News must needs be
more accurate in its heavy editorials,
else their weight will be lost by reason
of their righteousness. If this Detroit
ranting free trade organ Is allowed to
use figures 80 prOmiscuOusly as 1t does
we would say replying to its heading,
that iron most certainly will boom again.

THE CoMET.-The philosophers IN
charge ofthe Washington Observatory deny
that the great comet which at present in the
early morning illumes the eastern sky has
gone to pieces, though there are different
condensations of light In the nucleus, which
is estimated TO be 1900 miles broad and IN
an lncandescent condition.
Mr.. Jennings, the intelligent European
correspondent of the N. Y. World, writes
that Mr.. Richard A. Proctor, the eminent
astronomer, who at first denied that II was
the comet of 1S43 and 1SS0,now finds that
he made mistake in his calculations, and
so has withdrawn his statement More
cautious astronomers than he have no doubt
of the identity Of the comet, and believe
that 1t will return at the latest in October,

YELLOW FEvBR.-Whlle the yellow
fever epidemic has almost disappeared at
Brownsville, Matamoras and other points
on the Rio Grande, it appears to be on the
increase at Pensacola, both IN extent and
malignancy. The number of new cases
now average about sixty a day, and the
mortality from three or four week has
risen to seven day. The city, also, seems
to be in the utmost distress for means to
purchase the necessary supplies and hire
physicians and nurses, and contributions
from abroad are loudly called for.
