Guitcnu,s CadnNer.

cadayer seems to be q matter of terrible un.
certainty to the Egenin1 Yesterday, which be.
hlnd.time journal has been printing diff
ferent story about tho matter regularly every
day for the past week.
From reliable information THE CRITIC is
able TO state that after tho body had boen re
moved to tho Museum, the head, which had
been partly embalmed, was removed from tho
body and put away for future use, while the
remainder OF the body was put into vat to
coax. After the flesh had been removed by
action OF tho water and q process in vogue Mt
the institution, the bones wcre prepared for
articulation, which is in progress now.
The suit OF clothing worn by tho assassin
when he was hung was also taken of and
put away for future use, and, 1t is thought,
when tho remains are displayed, the embalmed
head will be aftixcd to tho skeleton, and tho
latter covered with thel familiar navy. blue
suit worn by Guiteau before and during tho
execution, making On interesting exhibit.
Some incline TO tho belief that the head
will be exhibited In a jar OF alcohol, but thnt
is hardly probable. At any rate, his head and
