ed to be made public in the United

managers was held Saturday. Uniform

The schedule of west bound rates was

of meeting line contracts on west bound

rates will run low until July, but that
east bound rates will be quietly advanced
as fast as practicable. Cornelius Wander.

In our twenty-five years OF acquaintance
and friendship you have not done a
greater thing to the truth or given me
80 valuable help as in your letter of
the l4'li inst, which l have just received.
have been 80 sung by the decision of
the Schotield board that it is very hard to
trust my own mind to speak OF it as it
appeared to me. have made u strong
effort to separate myself from the case
and to look it intellectually as though
it related only to the pieces on chess
board, and not to men who had lived
and had used their best efforts.
1t has brought me out precisely as to the
conclusion OF your letter. Still I had
not made, in the light of tho new testi.
mony, careful stragetic study of the
field and map, as you have done, but
soy now. with the new map before me
your picture OF the field and thetparties
conduct npon it. which glowed in strong
!, colors in my mind, and of the court mar
tial of seventeen years ago. Now, m,
, dear friend,I need your help further,ant
need it more than ever before in our nc
. quaintance. Overwhelmed as you mus
l be with the current daily work of til,
house, it is imperative for US to 20 al
. through this mass of new evidence as
ought to do. With kindest regards,

Fitz John Porter Matter.
Sioux Falls Urges Every Section

vcntiOn.

Washington, Jan. l9.-Court opened
at the usual hour. As soon as Guiteau
reached his seat he delivered himself of
the following speech with pompous et-
fort at all oratorical effect: Tho decis-
ion Of the New York court of appeals
comes with 80 much force at this mo.
mont, desire to call attention to it.
1t comes with great grace for the EN-
pire state, from that grand old state
of republicanism; the state that sends
forth the brains, the money and the COM
merce of a nation; it is great step for
ward in the law OF insanity. Hitherto
tho law had been that the burden OF
the proof was on the defendant
but tbe court of appeals
with a grand magnanimity, says
that the burden Of proof is with the pros.
ecution; to prove not only that he COM
mitted the act, but that he was sane
ut the time he committed it. In the
name Of justice, in the name of Ameri.
ca, and in the name of American judici-
ary l desire to thank these gentlemen OF
the court of appeals of the state of New
| York.
Scovillc Immediately resumed his ar
gument, readirg from the evidence of
several witnesses who saw the shooting
at the depot and the subsequent arrest
of Guiteau, his object being to show the
prisoner was perfectly calm and cool and
the condition OF nerves and intellect at
variance with the hypothesis OF
sanity under such circumstances.
Scoville again complained that the
prosecution had failed to call McElisl
to the stand whose evidence would have
been OF service to the prisoner.
Guiteau-"They came TO my cell ane
tried to draw mo out; talked Will
them little and told them about the
Deity and inspiration and now they sup
spress oil that evidence which shows tie
iniqnity of the prosecution, and God Al
mighty will curse every one on this
prosecution, in my opinion"
After short pause the prisoner said
"That reminds me to say that Judge
Porter has been pretending to be sicl
for two days and it will be providentia
to keep him sick. I hope the Lord will
take him below soon and then send TO
Corkhill.
As Scoville proceeded Corkhill made
frequent, and as the speaker evidentl,
thought, sighting comments, until fin
ally he became irritated and turned up
on the district attorney and denounce.
in severe terms his unfairness in tn
matter Of producing as evidence mutt
lated letter written by the prisoner an,
intercepted by Corkhill.
| Gqiteau-"It was friendly allusiol
to President Arthur that he cut out, tn
mean dirty whelp."
Scoville had q running fire with th
prosecution us his speech progressed
His motive was not shield Guiteau iror
intamy but to save the American natio
and the Judiciary from the disgrace {
+ hanging an insane mnn. He denouncc
Corkhill for gratuitously insulting D
! North by asking ii he was ever arreste
r FOR crime.
Corkhll stated that he himself ha
