Mrs. Garfield, In presuming to credit
her with such monstrOus sentiments.
Continuing, Judge Porter said: "Who

John N. Noyes, from whom the pris-
oner stole bis lectures.
Guiteau--That is false. l rely ON

Who else, his father Is responsible;
that father whom he struck when
eighteen years old, he killed President
Garfield; that father whom he says he
can never forgive, ard with whom he
bad not for the last fifteen years of
his honored life exchanged word.
Who else is responsibleP

dissClute, but not insane,
He transmitted insanity to him,
although he did not become insane
until after he (the prisoner) was born.
He killed Garfield by making the

sible ? Why, uncle Francis killed
Garfield. Uncle Francis who, as we
are told, being disappointed in love,

he loved, or fought sham duel and

He killed Garfield by making this
