Proceeding, Judge Porter c~ontrasted
the life, conduct and deceitful practice
of the prisoner with the apostle Paul,

ton, that he, like Paul, was honestly
engaged in doing the Lords work.
Paul never palmed off brass watches
for gold.
"Neither did l." shouted Guiteau."
Paul never swindled his creditors out
of their just debts.
"Oh, you are a blood, man." retail
ated Guiteau, ''you belong to the Judas
tribe"
The picture drawn by Judge Porter
was anything but a lively one, and
provoked the prisoner to the most
abusive retorts.
"You are a liar, and you know it,
and 1 tell you 50 to your face, Judge
Porter" he called out.
''This man. said Judge Porter,
'who says henever deceived anyone ="
That's a fact" piped the prisoner,
put that in frequently"
This man who says he never deceived
any one, says in one of his own hand

continued Judge Porter, says, ''the
Lord murdered Garfield"
Guiteau-"Yes, and he'll murder
you, before long"
Porter-"The Lord defrauded print
ers and boarding houses, and every
night and morning the christian pri-
soner thanks the Lord for His work"
Guiteau continued desperately shout
ing, "You are a liar, and you know it.
You haven't brains enough to talk. A
saint from heaven couldn't stand the
abuse of that man, Porter, and 1 won't
stand it. He's a liar, and L call him
So"
Porter said he was simply reading
from the sworn statement of Guiteau's
brother.
Guiteau-"He's no brother of mine;
1 want that understood. My sister
sympathises with me-"
The first interruption from the coun-
sci came when Reed strenuously OBJ
jected to Porter's quoting from English
authorities.
Judge Cox said there was no cause
for the objection, though it was not
very relevant, it was not Objectionable,
Guiteau's remark about the Jews,
called from Porter the remark that he
had yet to know the man who need be
ashamed to spring from the same race
as the Savior.
The clamor and din made by Cult
eau, reinforced from counsel, Scovllle,
resembled a small babel.
Scovile finally objected to Porter's
construction of evidence, and the pri,
soner insisted that Porter should be ar
