Judge Porter in his address to the Jury
In the Guiteau trial, Tuesday, after review.
ing the arguments Of Reed, Scoville and
Davidge, dwelt upon the generalization Of
Guiteau, referring 10 his lying IN wait and
to his DIGGING the footsteps Of the Prest-
dent. He said: "Was the worthless vaga.
bond the man TO be selected and inspired
BY God, a cheat, swindler, a creature Of
vilest habit, claiming to be junior In the
firm of Jesus Christ & Co. The murderer
tracking his victim at night, at church, at

Nothing like II has been seen or heard
during the past nine weeks in the Gniteau
trial, as Judge Porter reviewed the conduct
Of the prisoner and the conduct on the part
Of his counsel in his cause In this court.
The crime In all its hideous ugliness was
held up to the detestation OF his hearers.
The silence became oppressive, and the
presence OF the avenging justice in the near
future was suggested with force Of convic.
ton that swept from the court every YES
tige of that levity which have so long
danced attendance upon every utterance of
the prisoner, and like vial obscured
from the consciousness OF spectators, the
horror ri the crime and what should be the
solemnitv Of its judicial atonement. The
prisoner winched and nervously twisted in
his place, and for several minutes was un.
able to say anything that could in any sense
approach to an interruption. Gradually
the prisoner regained his usual assurance
and resumed his daily hadit of interrupt.
ing with contradictions and denials. For
once, however the insutferable i,npudence
Of the prisoner was completely overawed
Neither his voice nor his abuse could in.
terrupt or silence the avalanche OF con.
demnation that swept from the lips Of the
eloquent counsel. ~

Judge Cox concluded his decision at I,
O'Clock, having consumed an hour and
hfty minutes with rapid speaking. Upon
every natural point, his rulings were de.
cidedty against the prayers Of the defence,
The only grain Of comfort Tor the prisoner
was offered when Judge Cox reached the
point OF reasonable doubt. Upon this sub.
