NIT to the court an affidavit to uching evidence he
desired to submit, about which he expected there
would be controversy. Some OF this

ment whose name had appeared On the list of wit
nesses for the prosecution. but who had not been

LETTERS FROM A FEMALE AND MALE Gu1TEAU
sYNPATHIZER.
When STAR reporter was at the jail yesterday,
Gu.teau slipped a letter into his hand, saying:
ssYOu will find some new 1deos in that You can
return it to me in the morning." AS the reporter
was leaving, Guiteau came after him with another
letter. The letter containing the s'new ideas" was
dated at Hudson, ILL.,. December 26. 1t is signed
"{By erder Emma Snavely, ElOcuttoniSt," and
says: {" trust your honor will be SO kind as to
read and consider the following, which is q new
version OF Shakespeare's 'Brutus on the Death OF
Cesar which have just completed" Then fol-
low the old, familiar lines, declaimed at every
school exhibition, =" Hear me for my cause, and be
silent that you may hear" but so amended as to
put Garfield In Caesars place and Guiteau in that
of BrutuS, and to substitute ''my country for
" Rome" Where Shakespeare makes Brutus say,
GAS he was ambitious, / slew him." Miss Snavely'S
muse suggests the line, "But by Deity's inspira-
ton removed him." President Arthur is made to
figure as Marc Antony. The letter closes by say
