"ALL GOINGTOHELL"
That is What Guiteau Says of Arthur and
All Who Have Had Anything to
Do With His Case.
Prepared to Make the Final Jump ''on
Friday-POor Seoville's Letters to
His Wife and Her Brother.

WAsHINeToN, June 28.-Although the
behavior OF Guiteau the past three or four
days has generally been quiet and composed,
it has been marked, by occasional outbursts Of
the same fierce spirit which possessed him
during his trial, TO denounce by turns every
body who took any part therein. Monday
night, for example, he seemed for a short
time to be moved by feeling of an unusu-
ally violent hatred for all who had been
concerned in his trial, or were to be lnstru-
mental in carrying the sentence into effect
arthur will 60 to he'll, (" he exclaimed pas
sionstefy5 els Ss.Li.et VIII 81 - he'll, Judge
bradley will 20 to hell, the Supreme Court o.
the District will 60 to hell, General Croker
win go to hell, and turning to the death
vatcher) you, too, will go to hell" With
each repetition of the word shell" he
brought his fist violently down upon the
table to give it additional emphasis. This
afternoon as Deputy Warden Russ passed
his door cell
GUITEAU SAID
to him in a snarling tone: eff you have
anything TO do with my hanging you will be
damned; you will have to take the RESPONSE
bility." During the greater part of the time,
however, the prisoner seems tranquil. When
the Rev. DIR. Hicks visited him last evening
Gulteau was in an undemonstrative mood,
and in reply to the minister's inquiries said:
MY mind is free from all worldly affairs
and am ready TO go. l have no enmity
now against any one. The matter is now
between the Presidents conscience and his
God. l hope that on Friday there will be
no bungling, and that General Croker will
do his work well. A prolongation of my
lie now will not contribute to my happiness,
although it would be for the good of the
American people. After some conversation
upon religious topics the minister and the |
condemned man knelt together and prayed,
hll atfa haS,
devout than at any previous time. As Dr. |
Hicks was leaving the cell Guiteau said: |
81 am counting the hours till / shall be re- |
leased. L have no fear of punishment here |
after, for feel that the act have been con- |
victed for was Gods act; that
WAS GODS MAN,
aud that / shall be welcomed to paradise
The prisoner went to bed about 8 O'Clock,
but seemed under mental excitement, which |
prevented him from sleeping as quietly as
usual. When he rose at o'clock this morn
ing the rain was falling heavily, and before
PRESSING he spent some time looking thought
July out through the window of his cell at
he storm. He then dressed, ate hearty
breakfast, read for while, took his custom
ary walk in the corridor, and was again
ocked in his cell. Soon after i O'Clock the
Rev. ID. Hicks, John Guiteau's counsel and
John w. Guiteau paid the prisoner a visit
ind were cordially received. The counsel
asked Guiteau il he wished to prepare his
will. NO" he replied, Tomorrow will

Reed and DIR. Hicks came out of
he cell, after brief conversation, leav-
ng the two brothers together. They had
ong talk about their boyhood and the events
If years long ago, and it is said that the
prisoner, in speaking of his mother, showed
much emotion. About 2 pm. DIR. Hicks re-
'ntered the cell and asked Guiteau if his !
mind was at rest. sob, yes;" he replied, 81
lave emptied everything out of my mind
except the fact that shall have to 90 Fri
lay" DIR. Hicks then held long religious
ervioe, in which the prisoner took part with
apparent feryor.
THE sCAFFoLD
lpon which Guiteau will be hanged is in
complete readiness. The rope was tested to-
lay with a weight OF 250 pounds. The exact
ime for the execution has not yet been fixed, I
md it will depend to some extent upon the
prisoners condition and his wishes. The
leath warrant will, however, probably be
cad about l o'clock. 1t is not yet known
whether or not the prisoner intends making
my extended remarks.
Extracts from letters of Scoville to John

proved yourself even more ungrateful,
more heartless, more utterly depraved
