| GUITEAU'S TROUBLESOME SISTER
| Washington Special to the Chicago Herald
Mrs. Scoviile is giving her husband and
Charley Reed no end of trouble by attempting
to Interfere and dictate the line of the defense
each day. She has become convinced at last
that tho life Of her miserable brother is in
danger, and that he will be found guilty by the
| jury and end his life on the scatfold and she
now throws all the blame upon her husband
asserting that he has miamanaged the case and
| enabled the prosecution to weave web around
| Guiteau from which he cannot escape. She is
in terrible condition, and the prediction is
made that the trial will yet drive her insane
Every effort has been made to induce her to
return to Chicago, but she will not leave. llr.
Reed expects the case to come to an end the
latter part of next week.
