During the reading Guitean stood
apparently unmoved and with his
gaze rlveted upon the Judge, but
when the final words were spoken,
he struck the table violently and
shouted: "And may the Lord have
mercy on your soul. III rather stand
where I do than where the jury does
and where your Honor does. I'm
not afraid to die. l stand here as
Gods man, and God Almighty will
curse every man who..has had part
In procuring this unrighteous verdict.
Nothing bat good has come from
Garfeld's removal (and that will be
the verdict OF posterity) on my in,
spilation. don't care IA snap for
the verdict Of this corrupt genera
ton. l would rather IL thousand
times be in my position than that Of

himself Cut, the prisoner turned to
his brother, aud without the slightest
trace OF excitement, converscd for
some minutes before being taken from
the Court room.
pIsrosING OF THE Eo2Y.
Scoville gays that the brain would
have to be taken ou5 for post morte m
examination. | think thai the rela-
tions favored the proposition. I have
nothing to do with it. Ii rests with
his brother and sister. Besides, the
body is not for sale now, for there is
a motion fol new trial pending. l
don't object to having the body en-
balmed, The proceeds, if there were
any, would be devoted 10 paving
Guiteaus debts. The surplus [ would
propose to nse in ameliora!ing the
condition OF the insane, or TO estab'
fishing fund Ior the promotion OF
the snti-capital punishment doctrine.
The body would have to De cremated
or suuk il the deepest part OF the
sea to save it from body snatche. $.
1t would be taken like S;ewart's
body, and perhaps exhibited about
the country, strung on wirss, 'y some
qnack. ! understand this apparatus
preserves meats and vegetables so
that at the end Of two years they
are just as fresh as when new would
rather have my body exhibited pre-
;lsarved in a-natural state hhanr'i'"v'ff
it eaten by swoFns. His relatives
would rather know thathis body was
in the hands Of some person who
would take care OF it, than abandon
it 10 the body snatc!iers.
The impression prevails that the
execution will take place not lister
than June 80, and i'll view OF the re'
cent propositions TO make a Enhiic
spectacle OF the inruderer's body it
is thou hit that Judge Cox will exer'
c.se the discretion given him by the
Revised Statutes, and include III TIE
sentence tie disposition also Of the
body. Section 5,340 Of the Revised
Statutes provides thai "the Court be
fore which any person is convicted
of murder may, in its discretion, add
to the judgment Of death tii"t the
body OF the o!Feader be delivered to
surgeon Tor dissection, ana that
the Marsnal who executes such judg
msnt shall deliver the body, alter
execution, TO such surgeons as the
Court may direct, and such surgeon,
or some person by him appointed,
shall receive and take away the body
at The time of execution. " As both
the sistsrs and the brother OF the as.
sassin have expressed strong desire
for post mortem examination, and
have der ounced any speculative dis
position of the body, the Court may
fee disposed to crafty their wishes
in this respect.
In az interview last evening tie
assassin. who became much excited as
he talked, sometimes stamping hla
feet with rage, said: Il want coed
lawyers TO argue this case. Scori!le
is poor man and aln sorry for it.
II l had $4,000 1 would give it to
my sister. When | get cut Of tliR
and get to lecturing will have plen-
ty Of money. I don't want scovllle
to have anything to.do with the case.
Guiteau S attention being called to
the reported arrangement made by
Mr.. Scoville with Il Philadelphia firm
to exhibit his body, hssaid Il wont
have anybody NEEDING with my
body. This thing has heen done
without my consent, don't want my
relatives 10 make any money ont ol
it. Scovil!e had no business to do it
