DR.. Hicks remained about fifteen min
utes longer with the prisoner but was un.
able to turn bis thoughts away from the
consideration OF his immediate surround
inss. When he retired from the cell, Mrs!
Scoville and her little daughter aud John
W. Guitcau were admitted. Their interview
with the prisoner lasted fifteen minutes, the
wardenanda deputy being present Guiteau
was at first much excited and roundiy
abused the President and those wrelchrs,"
as he termed those who had bounded him
to the seaHold. ""And you, too!n he cried
out, pointin: his finger Mt Gen. Crocker
and the Deputy. "You will both be sent
TO hell" In a few minutes he calmsd
down and said he Was ready TO die, and
wanted to be hung at l2 o'clock sharp.
At parting, he said: "Let me kiss my
sister through the grated bars and let it 50
go on record" Alter kissing his sister and
little neice, he turned to his brother and
handing him dime, said "He.e is the ten
cents due the washerwomsn, guess YOU
had better settle that balance to-day."
Mrs Scoville and her brother John then
took leave OF him, and passing directly TO
their carrisge were taken back. to the CITY.
Mrs. Seoville said tonight in further
support OF her opinion that Mr. Scoville
had no intention Of coming to Washington
ut this time; that Just before her departure
for the East Mr.. Scoville had announced
bis Willingness 70 pay the expenses OF
herself and daughter to Washington,
provided sue MN. Scoville) would surren-
der certain papers. Recurring 10 the letter
which she had received from Nr. scovile
last evening, Mrs Scoyille said
there were inclosed therein num-
Der OF seli.addressed envslopes which
Seovile wished handed to bis li1tle dan2t-
ter, Bertha, whom he desired 10 hear
from, "a request Mrs; Scovile added,
which would be complied with" .
Mrs. Scoville also added that there was
absolutely nothing in the contents OF the
letter toindicate that her husband contem.
plated coming TO Washington, and she ex.
pressed the opinion that the telegram an.
nouucing his intention OF doug SO was
cuncocted by some person desirous OF
making sensation. She say. tha.
she is firmly decided to retain
custody Of the little girl and irrevoeeably
fixed in her determination To obtain a
divorce from her husband. When asked
il the near approach OF her brothers doom
had caused her TO lose hope abe responded,
mo, and ! venture 10 say Friday will
bring with it great surprise" She is very
hopeiu! that the restraining hand of the
Executive will yet intervene to prevent
| the killing Of an insane man."
Il cau be stated authorita,ively that the
President will not sec any more persons iu
reference to ,Guteau, and that il is useless
for any more letters, appeals, or petitions
to come on that subject, as be hss acted
finally in the case and does not propose to
reconsider his action. Z = l'hrs
There were a number Of "quees people"
at the White House to-day to see the Pres.
ident in Guitcau's behalf, but none OF
them were accorded An interview. They
were al! referred TO w. H. Crock, one Of
the executive clerks, who received them in
the ante-room and heard their requests.
Three women and one man wanted to have
him persuade the President tosee them, but
to no purpose. They came separately, but
were all on the sanle errand, to ask that
Guiteau be respited because Of his insan.
ity.5 One man was Frenchman, and
wanted Gnitesu pardoncd outright. When
Crook told one woman Of the visitors that
it was useless to trouble herself about
tho case as President Arthur has de-
cidcl not 10 = interfere with the
execution OF the sentence she was very
much overcome with grief aud burst into
tears and had 10 be led out OF the building.
She sadly benoaned her unhappy lot aud
said il was shame for the country 10 allow
"Poor brother Guiteaun to be hanged.
