THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. l Dropping From Under-GuiteaU's Last
 Drop Line-A Reprieve Denied by the i President-Prepnratton for the Assas- | sims Eud-Still Retaining His CompO-
 sure, and Claiming to be Gods Man. WASHINGTON, June 25,-As expected, the decision in the case of Guiteau, the convicted murderer of Pre- esident Garfield, for a reprieve l from death, was adverse. The Attorney Gen eral to whom all the appeals and petitions presented to the President bearing on this case had been referred, submitted an elabo- rate report to the Cabinet, reviewing all the points presented in favor of respite, and recommending that it be not granted on the ground that the sanity of the prisoner lad been fully established at the trial. This opinion was approved by the Cabinet, but all agreed to keep the decision unknown, and It was only yesterday morning that it was dl- vulged. Guiteau, on being informed of the result, sent the following message, through his spiritual adviser, Rev. MT. Hicks, to the l President
 t.Go and see Arthur and shake your fist in his l Tell him made him President by my inspiration atd he must give m, an unconditional pardon ana 1T he does not God Amigh' W Il blast him forever! ! tell you, Broth r Hicks, Gods man, and God takes care of his own"
 Immediately the Attorney General issued l instructions to the marshal of the district and the warden of the jail to keep Guiteau in strict confinement till the day set for his exe- l cution and allow no one except his spiritual adviser, his physician and the officers of the .,,1 fhn ! The friends of the condemned man still pro | fess hope for Guitsau. MT. Reed says he does not despair and that he will make anoth- l CT appeal to the President at the earliest op- portunity. Dr.Beard has gone to New York, but is expected to return. Miss Chevallller will have a conference with Dr. Godding and Rev. MT. Hicks to determine upon their flu ture action, with view to obtaining stay of execution.
 ] One of the persons interested in Guiteau's ] behalf has received @ letter from George 1 Scoville dated Chicago, 22d, as follows: 'l 1 find by the papers that Mrs. Scoville was in ! Cleveland yesterday on her way to Washing l ton or New York. She went to Milwaukee 1 Monday night, intending to prosecute her di l vorce suit, as stated, and to remain in Wis 1 consln three weeks, at least she left there l Tuesday afternoon and next hear of her Is l by telegram to the press of her presence 1n 1 Cleveland yesterday. We are exceedingly anxious about Bertha and fear that Mrs Sco- 1 vile will kill both the child and herself if ! her brother is hung. At present 1t IS impos- 1 sible for me to leave, but will go and send l for the child if it seems necessary. But it is l all important that know where they are ev ! cry day, and that some friend IS advised of the necessity of watching her movements 1 She is sly cunning, deceptive and untruth- l ful, all of which may be set down to the re- suits of an unbalanced mind. At times she ! is desperate, and the most careful watching | will be no guarantee against violence toward l Bertha or herself What to do know not | I have tried to humor her whims, hoping to keep track of her and to prevail on her to leave Bertha with me.
 II think you could accomplish that; but 1t | cannot be done by persuasion. I shall have to 1 take her by legal process before the 30th of l June, for dare not have her with her moth | CT after that Will you not find out what 1 you can and telegraph or write me line 1 daily to relieve my anxiety? shall wait and | watch for news with breathless anxiety. Why l will she not leave the little girl here ? But it l is useless to ask why, since no reasons infu- l ence an insane person. Will you not set such ! a watch on foot that I may be advised by re- questing different persons to telegraph or 1 write me? Yet you must not let her suspect you, for she will deceive you. You know l what want and need, and l trust your good sense to act for the benefit of my child, so l that she may have proper protection. If I that is accomplished I ask nothing for my l self ''
 MT. Charles Reed. counsel for Guiteau, also received a similar letter from Mir. Sco- I vile, in effect that Mrs Scoville had gone 1 East no one knew where, and expressing ! fear that she will murder herself and child on or before the day her brother is hung. The windows on the south wing of the jai in which Guiteau's cell is located have been curtained to shut out the light The rope l which is to be used in the execution has been l rigged up for the occasion. It is a fine piece of Manila, originally seven eighths s1ze, which has been stretched until 1t is now of but l three-fourths size and is forty six feet long. It is soft and pliable as it can be made. l After having been laid out the ends were firmly bound with twine and the knot was | tied. This is probably the best made hang mans knot ever prepared in the district, be- | ing as compact as possible. It has six turns l in it, the end after passing through the loop 1 at the top of the wrap having knot in it to keep it from slipping. The death warrant has been prepared by Mir. W. E. Williams, deputy clerk of the court. It is as follows | IN SUPREME COURT THE DISTRICT OF Co., l LUMBIA, MAY p, 1SS2-Cnted States against Charles J. Guiteau, No. 14, 4,056.-Nurder.
 I The President of the United States to the Warden of the United States Jail of the District of Columbia 1 greeting:
 felony and murder by him dona and committed, and has been therefor arraigned, and upon such agn- ment has pleaded mt guilty, aud has b ell lawfully convict d thereof; and whereas. judgm -nt Of Said has been given, that the said hares JGuiteau shall be hauged by the neck until he be dead there fore, hereby commanded that up Friday, the 30th day of June, in the of our Lord ls82 be- tween the hours of twelve o'clock meridian and two o'clock post meridian of the same day, i'm, the said Charles Guiteau, being ip your custody in the common jail of the District of Columbia you conv,y to the place prepared for his execution, within the Is of the said Jail of the District of Colu ua, and l that you execution to b. done upon said
 harles J. Guiteau, in your custody being, in all things according to said judgment aud this you ] by means to omit at yo"r peril; and do you turn this clerks office of id court so endorsed as to show how you have obeyed the same
 Witness-D K. Car ter, Chief Justice of sad Court.
 The warrant will be signed on Monday by
 Mir. Meigs, the clerk of the court and sent to the warden.
 Guiteau passed the day quietly and ap-
 parently undisturbed in composure. He arose at seven clock, took bath, breakfast
 of prison fare, which he ate with a relish, He was not inclined to talk Warden
 Crocker says he has been more reticent ever
 since the adverse decision of the Cabinet.
 He paced his cell reading the Bible. He saw
 nc one through the day but Rev. MT. Hicks 1 at three clock. Mir. Hicks now believes
 him sane, although he petitioned the Presi-
 dent for respite. The telegraph companies
 are running wires into the jail. A l strong military guard IS maintained Guiteau has renounced all hope.
 Dr. Hicks was favorably impressed with Gui-
 teau's sincerity. He humble, but not
 abiect. He entered heartily into the religious
 devotions. Tie warden says his demeanor is
 that Of a greatly disappointed man holding
 up under great mental excitement. He don't
 apprehend that Guteau will break down on
 the scaffold and don't anticipate that he will 1 play the part of braggart.
 The gallows will be altered so that the body
 will be in full view after the fall. John w.
 Guiteau is in the city, but did not call, as Dr.
 Hicks thought he might detract his brother's
 attention from religious books such as the
 Bible and Dr. Hemmond's Bleed of Chrigt,
 or an Easy Road to Salvation"
