doubt contained the body of Guiteau.
At the Army Medical museum to-day non,
OF the physicians or other officials would SAY
anything about the whereabouts of Guiteau'i
remains or what would be done with them
DR.. Lamb said very decidedly, 81 don't know
anything"
Before it was decided to bury the body in tn,
jail Warden Croker had an understanding with
DIR. Hicks that it should be removed to the
Army Medical museum. Warden Croker whe1
asked about this latest removal" seemed
rather displeased that anything had been said
concerning it. He said simply: II the bod y
is not at the medical museum it will be there
in day or two" It was the warden's inten
ton not to make the fact OF exhuming public
for some weeks at least.
Rev. DR.. Hicks was at the Office OF the
register of wills this morning with the will Of
Guiteau, making inquiry as to proving, etc
He did not file the document.
The three physicians preparing the report
of the autopsy on Guiteau's body had another
conference this afternoon with prospect Of
finally agreeing upon report. Owing t.
some statements In the report some of thu
physicians are of the opinion that it had bet
ter he printed in medical paper. The por
lions OF the report deemed unit for publica
ton are simply the statements of facts which
occur every time man is hung and published
because well known.
AS USUAL, DOCTORS DISAGREE.
Doctors Sewers and Hartigan, associated
with DR.. Lamb in the autopsy. make substan
TALLY the following statement with regard to
what they characterize as DIR. Lambs ssin
gular action" in sending out for publication 8
report signed only by himself. Before the au
topsy. but after it had been decided who
should perform it, the following agree
by all the physicians and medical
experts present as well as by DR.. Hicks and
District Attorney Corkhill: "Tke brain Of
Guiteau to be taken out by DR.. Lamb. DR.
Sewers and DR.. Hartigan in the presence OF
invited parties and put by them in the necessary

hill, United States district attorney" The
notes taken at the autopsy by Drs. Sewers and
Hartigan on the day Of the execution were
handed to Lamb who at the consultation held
Monday, presented for consideration the stim.
mary of his own notes as well as those of the
other physicians, but refused TO produce the
originals, or allow Drs. Hartigan and Sow
ers TO take part in the preparation of the re.
port. To-day the two surgeons last named
received from DIR. Lamb the following letter:
After consultation with q number of ply
sicians in regard to the proper Interpretation
to be put on the memorandum (or agreement)
handed me Just before the autopsy. / have
sent a report to the Medical Journal
Drs. Hartigan and Sewers at once replied
asking him to furnish copy of all notes
taken at the autopsy to enable them to formu-
late reports s1ch as they might be willing to
sign in accordance with the terms of the
agreemeaf.
DI. Lamb replied that he understood that
1t related solely to the custody of the brain,
and didn't regard Drs. Hartigan and Sewers
as officially connected with the autopsy or
report, except 80 far as the charge of the brain
was concerned.
This correspondence, Drs. Hartigan and
Sewers say shows the position they
have occupied in the case, and, as they believe
the country expects from them report, they
intend as soon as possible to prepare one,
stating simply what they found the condition
of Gulteau's brain to be, and expressing no
opinion as to the question of sanity. They
believe they have a perfect right
to do this, since they constitute
majority of the surgeons to whom, as they
allege, the autopsy was committed.
DIR. Hicks said tonight he had been shown
copy of DIR. Lambs report of the autopsy,
and agreed with its findings. The autopsy be
saw was under the direction OF DIR. Lamb, and
the report must therefore come from him,
