The conference was formally ad-
journed by John W. Guiteau, who con-
Quoted the proceedings with wonderful
GOODNESS and deliberatiOn. He proposed
that DR.. Beard should summon all the
experts possible to be on hand to-mor-
row.
INVITED TO ATTEND THE AUTOPSY.
Tonight kilograms signed by DR..

ical men, inviting them to attend the
autopsy at o'clock at the Jail: DR..

Parrish, Burlington, n. j.; DR.. Stearns,
Hartford; DR.. c. K. Mills, Philadelphia;
DR.. Miles, Baltimore; DR.. L. II. Kellogg,

editor of the Boston Medical Journal.
81 do not intend to be present at the
autOpsy," said DR.. Beard. Il am going
home tonight. l know how Guiteau
will go to the scaffOld and die. He will
maintain to the last the delusiOn that
he is Gods man, and he will die belieY-
ing it. | am satisfied too, that when
the autopsy shall have been made, it
will demonstrate that crazy man has
been executed"
TO BE BURIED IN THE JAIL.
1t has been decided to bury the
body for the present in the District
iail. The stone slabs will be taken out
of one of the floor sections in the south
wing and a grave will be dug some
time to morrow. This arrangement
may only be temporary. 1t is deemed
essential for the safety of the remains
that they be buried in the Jail, as the
relatives fear that the body would not,
for some time at least, be safe anywhere
else. Guiteau has not been, and Will
not be told of this arrangements
A CROWD GAZING At THE COFFIN.
The coffin was completed last evening
and it was placed in the shop to await
further orders from the jail. 1t is as
plain and cheap an affair as could he |
put together, and it is no better than Is
prepared for criminals buried at the eX-
peuse Of the Government. 1t is made of |
white wood Stained in imitation OF rose |
wood. square of white painted strips |
Of wood along the sides relieves the |
plaiuess a little, while the three handles |
on each side, made of some white metal, |
rather add to the cheapness of its ap- |
petrance. There is arrow of white studs |
along the edge of the cover but no plate. |
The inside was lined with Spanish lace |
and white cambria, and presents very |
decent appearance. The coffin was |
viewed by crowds Of curious people all
day, and the undertaker's patience was
put to a test in the effort to attend
to customers. 1t is estimated that at
least 800 went to see the coffin and the
stream was still flowing steadily this
afternoon. After dark it was taken to
the Jail.
To BE ATTENDED BY HIS BROTHER.
Guiteau's appetite is simply enormous.
He ate for breakfast this morning a
pound of beefsteak, an Omelette made Of
four eggs, four slices of toast, fried pO-
tatOes and a quart of coffee, He takes a
quart of coffee at each meal three times
a day, and a corresponding amount of
solids. He is never given any stimu-
lants, simply because he will not touch
them. John w. Guiteau is the only one
of the relations who will attend the exc
cutiOn, and he may yet be dissuaded
from doing so. He has merely offered to
walk to the scaffOld with Guiteau and
hold his hand until the trap falls. There
has been some talk of Guiteau deliver
ing a harangue from manuscript at the
scaffold. Deputy Warden Russ says
Guiteau has had no writing materials
lately, and other information at the jail
confirms the opinion that his plans con-
template nothing further than an invO-
cation upon his part.
GUITEAU's SPIRITUAL ADVISER
WASHINGTON, June 29.-The REV.
Dr." Hicks called at the White House to-
day to ascertain if any information was
desired from him with regard to Gui-
teau. Such acts as this have made this
'Rev. Dr." Hicks (whO, as Guiteau's
Spiritual adviser" is making DR.. Beard,
Guiteau's medical savant, enViOus of his
nOtOrety) Zone of the most prominent
topics Of conversation. l am informed
that the "Rev. Dr." Hicks became the
assassin's spiritual adviser for no other
apparent reason than because he has an
itch for nOtOriety, which should COM
mend him to the sulphur-cOnsuming
scribes of the New York V. and V. He
was one of the 3O6 at Chicago and has
made politics part of his business as
we'll as theology. He owns an orange
grove in Florida which he left several
years ago in the care of careless servants,
while he acted as political adviser and
exhorter to the leaders of the Cornell
campaign in New York. The servants
allowed his house to burn through their
carelessness, and then carelessly forth
with became "Ku Klux" in the Rev.
Dr." Hicks political phraseOlOgy. Since
that time his neighbOrs in Florida have
not been as kind as Guiteau has shown
himself by allowing him to be his "spir-
itual adviser"
