Mrs. scoville's Lawyer Interviewed.
CHICAGO, April 14th.-W. J. johnson,
attorney for Mrs. Frances Scoville, in the
proceeding to have conservator appointed
for the estate of Charles j. Guiteau, has been
interviewed in regard to the proposed action.
He says: The matter will come up in the
County Court on Saturday il Judge Loomis
has not quashed the writ. The announce.
ment that we could not claim jurisdiction is
wrong. There is no question whatever as to
the jurisdiction of the County Court
There is not lawyer in the city but
will agree with nae on that point. If
there are two courts within the jurisdiction,
in certain cases, and take my case into one,
the Court cannot have the right to say,

other Court If, after hearing our arguments,
Judge Loomis refuses writ, 1 shall take the
matter to the Appellate Court. The case
have q regular trial as to Guiteau's insanity.
We will have most of the experts who testified
at Washington, as well as several Others If
declared of unsound sound, as he doubtless
will be, it will not be against the decision at
Guiteau's trial that decision was not as to
his sanity. but as to the degree of respon-
sibility. Illinois decisions do not regard that
question. If an insane man commits homicide
he is not regarded IS responsible Of course the
State decision, known at Guiteau's trial, was
notintended to be placed against the decisions
o: the Supreme Courts Of the majority Of the
States. The decision Of insanity is to be
used only in obtaining conservator for Gui.

II Mrs Scoville had the money she could se-

her brothers life, and her motives are purely
