GUITEAU'S CASE.
Continuation OF the Argument Before
the Court i'm Banc.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE argument on
the bill CT exceptions in the iuiteau case
was resumed this morning, and Col. Cork
hill opened for the prosecution. After de-
failing the circumstances OF the shooting
he passed on TO the question OF JurlSdlc-
ton and pronounced as absurd the position
taken, that because President Garfield was
not allowed to remain in Washington and
die, therefore the Court has no iuriSdlc-
tion. Corkhill discussed this question at
considerable length. He quoted the decls-
ion of the Supreme Court of Tennessee,
which held the otiense was committed at
the place of the blow, though death occurr-
ed elsewhere, He argued that the evidence
admitted for the prosecution TO rcbut the
defense of insanity was competent and
properly admitted; that 1t was Justlha0le
in rebuttal for the prosecution to go to any
length in showing that all acts OF the de-
fendant which had been offered aS evidence
of insanity were rather the product OF I'M
morality.
Counsel discussed at some length the ex-
ception to the evidence of Mrs. Dunmlre.
Guiteau's former wife, claiming the domain
of confidential communications between
husband and wife had not been invaded by
the prosecution. At the conclusion OF
Corkhill's address, Dayidge Immediately
began the closing argument for the prose
cutiOn. addressing himself TO the question
of jurisdiction.
The court adjourned before Davidge con-
Ciuded his argument.
