cold in the courtroom this morning, ana
the Judge, court officials and spectators sat
shivering in overcoats and wraps. Guiteau
made his usual speech. He said he had
happy New Year, and hoped the audience

asked if he was familiar with the case of
Lieutenant Sanborn, who was killed by
DR.. Wright NJ Norfolk, Virginia and re-
piled: "Yes, sir; / was sent by the Presi-

"You think so?
Guiteau-."Y Your idea, Doctor, is that

The examination progressed with tedious
delays in the effort to extract something
favorable to the defense. The counsel
continued the attack on witness again and
