GUlTEAU's SISTER.
Mrs. scoville Appears at the jail but is
Denied Admittance.

WASHINGTON, June 30.-At Ii o'clock con-
trary to the general expectation and her pur-
pose as expressed yesterday, Mrs. Scovllle ar
rived at the Jail and besought admission. Her
manner was excited and she appeared to be
laboring under great excitement. General
Crocker declined to admit her unless the prls-
oner specially requested it. John w. GuiJeau,
who was in the rotunda, was informed that
his sister was outside and at first started up to
go to her but after moments hesitation de-
cided not to interfere, saying, II will leave the
whole matter with General Crocker." Gui-
teau was not informed of her prese ace, and
even if he was aware OF it, it is believed that
he would not desire to have her admitted. His
great desire seemed to be that there should be
no scene and that his programme should be
carried out without any interruption or Incl
dent to detract from the heroic picture which
he believed he was about to present.
After short consultation with Warden
Crocker, John W. Guiteau went outside the
Jail to see his sister. He found her in great
excitement, bordering upon Mysteries, but af-
ter short time he succeeded in calming he's
and dissuading her from any further attempt
to gain admission. She acknowledged the
propriety of such a course, but said she could
not possibly remain in the city during all the
wretched hours of the morning. She brought
with her the flowers which G1iteau had asked
for, and they were taken into the prison. She
also brought two handsome flower pieces a
cross and an anchor, which she will place up
on her brothers. coffin with her own hands
After all is over aud Guiteau has been taken
down and plocsd in his coffin, Mrs. Scoville
will be permitted to view the remains and
place her floral offerings upon his coffin
Mrs. Scoville after waiting upon the outside
of the Jail until after the execution decided
not to view the remains this afternoon and
returned to the city.

moved for further examination. The three
physicians selected TO perform the autopsy,
Macdonald said, were DIR. Lamb, who made
the autopsy of the President, DIR. Sands and
DIR. Hartigan, the deputy coroner OF WASH
ington. DIR. Loring expects to make thor-
ough examination Of the prisoners eyes.
At 355 the autopsy adjourned until evening
when the brain will be taken to The Medical
Museum where a more minute and critical ex-
animation will be made of it. The physicians
were disinclined to go into details III regard TO
the result thus far reached. DR.. Go0diDg who
has maintained that Guiteau was insane said,
when asked the result of the autopsy Il have
nothing to say" Another physician remark
ed, "We are all know nothings;" then by
stander replied, $50 the public thought at the
lime OF the other autopsy" Al! the Physl-
clans Use there was lymph in the brain
and hardening of the dura mater. None y saem
care to express positive opinion until after
the examination shall have been completed.
[LArER.J
At 4.30 the autopsy upon Guiteau's brain
was continued at the Army Medical Museum,
in the presence of q number OF surgeons ana
physicians. The operations were directed Dy
DIR. Lamb. 1t has been his intention to begin
by making plaster cast OF the brain, but this
was found impracticable, and the resort was
had to photography, a number OF negatives
being taken of it from various points OF view,
with more orsless success. The anatomical ex-
animation OF the brain was tnen reSssxzou- Ahls
examination, which will include a careful mi
croscopical study of its tissues and the structu-
raj character of that organ, will certainly not
be finished before tomorrow afternoon, and 1t
may occupy several days. The surgeons and
physicians participating in the autopsy have
pledged themselves not to make public in the
meantime any conclusion at which they may
arrive at, in order that the official report, when
made, may have weight and value, as reare-
soating ihe conclusions OF all the examining
physicians.
The result of the autopsy on the body OF
Guiteau, so far as can be learned from the sur
geons present, may be briefly stated as follows:
After surveying the body externally, the sur
geons proceeded to lay open the brain cavity
and thorax, and to examine the organs thereln
contained. The brain was well formed, and
presented no external evidence of disease or
lesion. The lungs and heart were in normal
condition, but there was slight ruff1ing OF the
aorta, in the vicinity of the heart. The neck
was not dislocated or fractured, as at first sup
posed, but death resulted from suffocatjon, and
not from dislocation of the spinal vertabrae. A
partial examination was made of the abdomi-
nal viscera, but it had not been completed at
the time the autopsy was suspended. The
spleen was found to be considerably enlarged,
weight 10 ounces, or more than twice that of
normal spleen. The other abdominal organs,
SO far as examined, presented no unusual fea-
tureS

At 1890 a guard came out and said. 'Be is
ready for the doctor now and wants the flow
ers to come" Another guard, who took the
message, hurried off and soon returned with
DR.. Hicks, who went into the cell. Guiteau
was then reported by his guard to be apparent
iy quite composed. Guiteau's message about
the flowers referred to his expectation that
Mrs. Scoville would send some flowers to him,
asked for them.
While DR.. Hicks was in the prisoners cell
at IL o'clock, Guiteau made some requests as to
the execution, and having made copies OF his
last prayer, poem and other writings, tore up
the originals While Dr. Hicks was there, he
sent out for 'Jim' Curtis the jail boot black,
and gave him his shoes to be shined for the
last time. His dinner was brought as the doc
tor was leaving, and he ate with much relish.

toast and quart of coffee, OF which very lit

GENERAL CoMMEN rs.
Opinion Of John w. Guiteau-Celebrat
ing the End of the Tragedy.

Just before IL o'clock John W. Guiteau said
to q representative of the Associated Press that
he felt tcheerful far.as his brotherwas concerned
believing it to be far better for him to die than
to live. He said that no one felt keener an
guish than himself that the crime had been
committed which plunged nation in grief.
He believed, however, that his brother would
show himself to be brave man and from his
own standpoint would vindicate his idea of pa
triotism ''His life is wreck and worthless,
said John, "and I think this is most fitting
end to checkered and insane career" He be-
lieved his brother would die happy, and owing
to his demented condition would be forgiven
in the next world. He thought his brother
would be happier in death than in life under
the circumstances, and If he could, he would
not ask to have him reprieved.
Many kilograms and other messages arrived
at the Jail this morning from different parties.
A teleg ram from New York, signed j. B.
Bunnell received about 10 o'clock by DR..
Hicks, asked if the sender could obtain pos
session of Guiteaus body to exhibit for the
benefit of the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton. DR.. Hicks paid no attention to the mes
sage.
At quarter past three the guard on duty at
the Jail since the Goth of July last have
marched away. They were loudly cheered as
they left
Mr. Reed dill not witness the execution. He
said he could not stand it and intended to
leave the city. 1t is not known whether Mr.
Scoviile was in town or not.

the AutopSy-Place of Burial.
After the body had been arranged in the cof-
fin Warden Crocker ascended the steps OF the
scaffold and addressing the crowd which was
kept back from the scaffold by line OF officers
said, that those who desired could pass along the
side of the scaffold and view the body. Then
the crowd of spectators was formed into line
and passing between the scaffold and wall OF
the Jail viewed the dead face. Some jail Off
GERS, two of the physicians and Dr. HICKS
stood about the coffin. John w. Gulteau join
ed this company and famed his dead brothers
face to keep away the flies. John W. Gniteau
did not get upon the seaffold. but stood during
the scene lust within the line OF officers at the
bottom of the steps. When the liberty was
given to the crowd to view the remains the
scaffold was at once filed with people who cur
iously examined every joint and bolt.
AT LAO the lid of the coffin was put in place
and the body was born to the Jail chapel where
the physicians who were to make an autopsy
were assembled. After the body was taken to
the Jail CHAPEL arrangements were made to let
Mrs. Scovile viswit. Guiteau, just before the
trap was sprung dropped piece OF papor from
his hand, This paper was given him by War

Guiteau's burial place is in the same court as

Guiteau when he came out into the rotunda
from his cell looked calm and collected but
very pale. His arms were pinioned behind
him and held his head erect. He gazed upon
the crowd without finching He wore black
suit of clothes and instead OF collar a BAN

AROUND THE JAIL.
Like q Gala Day-Guiteau Partakes Of q
''Sparing MEAL

The scene about the Jail was unique The
office of the jail was given up to the large corps
of newspaper reporters, and they were scrib-
bling on every table, window sill and projec-
tion that offered rest for paper. Many news
paper men remained all night. The private
Office of the warden was transformed into
telegraph office, and before o'clock eight in
struments were clicking. At o'clock there
was a constant stream of persons coming into
the jail
The scene outside was like some great gala
procession. Some colored men had erected
booths, from which they dispensed lemonade
and other refreshments to the people who be-
gan before 9 o'clock to assemble in the road in
front of the Jail. Mounted messengers were
speeding to and from the city, and carriages
bringing visitors to the Jail kept a continual
cloud of dust lowering over the road.
The rotunda was thrown open at 10 O'Clock.
The newspaper men at once hocked in. There
were few other people there except the Jail
guards and a squad of artillerymeu, who look
ed down upon the scene from the high steps
leading to the sea fold. Early this morn
ing the prisoners in the part of the jail over
looking the court where the galloWs stands
were all removed to other quarters, and all the
prisoners locked up in their cells to prevent
them from seeing what was transpring.
At 10 o'clock there was a large number of
newspaper correspondents croWding about the
gate leading into Guiteau's corridor, but they
could see nothing. Now and then guard ap-
peared and sent some message to the warden:
at such times those at the gate got view of q
table in the corridor and chair on which the
death watch sat faithful to his sad trust.
After Guiteau had finished copying his pray
er upon the scaffold he began to arrange his
dress, putting on pair of navy blue trousers.

A reporter for the Associated Press was the
only newspaper man admitted to the chapel
where the body is being dissected. The coffin
was placed upon q bench and the body re-
moved and after having been stripped was
laid upon table. Scales and other appliances
for examining different parts of the body were
