science enough to recognize the moral in
EQUITY of such an act.
Prisoner-That's matter Of opinion.
Your own testimony shows that you re-
coiled with horror from the idea. You say
that you prayed against It; You Nv that
shows that your conscience warned you
sgainst 1t; but by
The wresehed sePhistry
of your mind, you worked yourself up
against the protest Of your own conscience.
What motive could have induced you to
this act must te a matter Of conjecture.
Probably men will think that some fanati-
cism or morbid desire for self-exaltation
was the real inspiration for the act. Your
own testimony seems to contravert the
theories of your own counsel. They have
maintained and thought honestly, l be-
lieve. that you were driven against your
will by an insane impulse.
The testimony showed that you deliber-
ately resolved TO do it, and that deliberate
and misguided will was the sole impulse.
This may seem insanity to some persons,
but the law looks upon it rs willful crime.
You will have due opportunity Of having
any errors ! may have committed during
the course Of the trial, PASSED upon by the
court in banc, but meanwhile IL is neces-

During the reading Guiteau stood appar.
emily unmoyed and with his eyes riyeted
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. I'd rather stand
where do than where that jury does and
where your Honor does. I'm not afraid to
die, for stand here as Gods man; and
God Almighty will curse every man who

Upon the arrival of Guiteau at the jail,
he was at once taken to a cell and guard

Itelegraphed you last week that there
was no probability that Charlie Scott would
be ousted from the Parkersburg postmas-

The effort to put Davidson in, came through
ex-Treasurer Burdette, of Charleston, who,
beside being related TO Davidson, is related
to Bob Burdette, the humorist of the Bur-
. lington Hdrkeye, Hatton's paper. David
son hoped to get Hatton's influence through
the Burdette's, but the united family eff
fort does not seem TO have been sufficient
TO move Hatton, who said Scott should stay
