ssfor.' he says, 'the ladies like me to
look well.' His sole aim now seems to be
to make money TO pay his lawyers to get him
out of trouble, and he is continually con-
triving new schemes for the purpose. He
imagines that his book, ''The Truth" will
be in great demand at s. per copy, and he
devotes considerable time to preparing a
new edition. This matter, however, he has
turned over to Mr.. Scoville, who will make
the contracts for printing, binding and dis
tribution; but Guiteau wants every cent OF
the proceeds turned over to him for his
necessities.
