COrkhill said the prosecution had but
one more witness to examine, and would
like to know how many more the de-
Tense meant to have. ScOville said he
intended to make an application for the
introduction of other witnesses to testify
to Guiteau's insanity near the time of
the shooting. He couldn't tell how long
the in-rebuttal would take. ScOVille
said: 'The experts for the prosecution
have sat here for six weeks, and have
met nightly with the district attorney
and woven their mesheS about the pTis-
Oner, and do not propose that there
shall be any unseemly haste in getting
to the end of the trial, either to save the
time of the court or jury. 81 agree
with that" cried Guiteau. 81 will trust
to the personal honor of every man in
the box Dayidge objected to re-Opening
the case. I'VE dOn'twant to reopen the
case" said Guiteau. We want to refute
your false witnesses"
SATURDAY.
DR.. Gray being asked if he ever saw
case like that of the prisoner in court
feigning insanity, he answered: II have
not considered that the prisoner has
made any manifestations of insanity. |
testified he was endeavOring to impress
me here and in the Jail with the idea
that he believed he had been acting un-
der inspiration and in respect to that l
believe he was feigning and misleading
by playing part. My opinion is based
solely on his actions and declarations in
in court The witness, getting warm
over an 'inuatiOn by ScOville, "Gui-
teau said "YOu are getting demOral-
lied, doctor; you must have been out
with COrkhill last night, or else you are
suffering from remOrse. Don't doctors
sometimes hang insane people, and ex-
anime their brains afterwards to find
out if they are insane" [Laughter?"l
MONDAY. y
.Guiteau was mad to-day. He has
been put ON ordinary prison fare, his
mail was not delivered to him and here
after newspapers are to be excluded
from his cell. He declares he will ap-
peal to the American people on the score
of patriotism to restore these lost privi-
leges. He is beginning to quarrel with
his guards, whom he treats as inferior
miniOns of the Jaw, and beneath the
notice of a high-tOned christian gentle
man like himself. Gen. CrOcker is the
only person in the Jail whom he cOnde-
-
Guiteau is firmly Of the opinion that his
brother will be convicted. He said to
reporter this morning: Matters are
approaching the final stage row. We
have not time to open his mai 10 gratif-

of the bulldOZing manner of the prose- |
cutiOn, and said there was fixed deter |
minatiOn to lang the prisoner, sane or |
insane.
TUESDAY.
When diteau was brought in. his |
brother John wished him a happy new |
year as he passed, ard Guiteau turned |
scOwlingly and replied: You dry up" J
When the prisoner reached the dock ne |
said: Il had very happy New Year, |
gentlemen and ladies' and hope every
body else had, | had plenty of visitors, |
high-tOned, middle-tOued ani loud. The !
general opinion is thai l ought not to be
hung, and have no doubt l shall be ac-
quilted"
The crOss-examination of DR.. Gray |
was resumed by Scbvile. The witness
stated emphatically that from personal |
examinations of prisoner he found no |
evidence of insanity; that in his mind |
there was no doubt that Guiteau was |
sane at the time he shot Garfield and .
sane now. Guiteau during the testi- |
mOny toyed with eyeglasses and flirted |
with ladies, who eyinced their usual in /
terest in him. Once he told DR.. Gray he |
had better get his money and go home, !
as his testimony showed him lamenta- /
bly, ignorant on the question Of insanity. |
WEDNESDAY.
The testimony was concluded and !
court adjourned until Saturday, when |
the arguments will begin.
