Washington, Jan. 19.-The court
opened at the usual hour, and as soon
as Guiteau reached his seat he delivered
himself of the following speech:
The decision Of the New York
court of appeals comes with SO much
force at the present moment, 1 desire to
call attention to it; it comes with
great grace from the empire state; from
that grand old state of the republic; the
state hat sends forth the brains, the
money and the commerce of the nation.
1t lisa great step forward of the law of
insanity. Hitherto the law has been
that the burden of proof was on the de-
PENDANT, but the court of appeals with
grand magnanimity says that the bur-
den Of proof is on the prosecution to
prove that the man not only committed
the act, but also that he was sane at the
time he committed 1t. In the name Of
Justice, and in the name of the Ameri-
can people, and in the name of the
judiciary, L desire to thank those gen.
tlemen of the court of appeals of the
state Of New York"
Scoville Immediately resumed argu-
ment, reading from the evidence of
several witnesses who were at the depot
and saw the shooting, and the subse-
quent arrest of Guiteau. His object be-
ing to show that the prisoner was per-
fectly calm and cool, and in condition
OF his nerves and intellect, at variance
with the hypothesis Of sanity under
such circumstances.
Scoville again complained that the
prosecution had failed to call detective
McElfresh to the stand, whose evidence
would have been Of service to the pris.
oner.
Guiteau: "They came to my cell and
tried to draw me out; 1 talked with
them but little and told them about the
Deity and my inspiration, and nov
they want to suppress all that evidence
That shows the iniquity of their prose
cution, and God Almighty will ours,

Dynamite Supersedes the Axe

y
For many years our woodsmen have
been seeking for some method to fell trees
other than the slow laborious process Of
ehopping down with an axe. The prob
lem seems to have been solved up in SOM
erset county. A firm there run pulp
mill consuming large quantities of spruce
and hemloek lumber. Instead of chop
ping and saving to get the trees into the
pulp mill they blast them to pieces with
dynamite. One who has witnessed the
process thus describes it:
a fine large spruce was selected and hole
was driven in about ten inches, the chips
were removed, and dynamite cartridge was
inserted. The dynamite comes i'll sticks like
a candle, and resembles moist brown sugar.
fuse was sttached, and the men sought a
place of safety In few seconds there was
mighty roar. and the great tree was lift,
up in the air about ten feet, and then with a
swoop and a crash it came to the earth, spln-
tered half way up the trunk. Dynamite is
not cheap; but, taking into consideration the
time. labor, wear and tear of tools saved. is
not as expensive As might be supposed"
