of different parts of the BODY were
placed about on smaller tables. The
operations of the three surgeons en-
gagged IN the autopsy were watched
with the greatest interest by the other
medical gentlemen, who crowded
about the table. After an examination

b. Lorlng found the left eve complete

were so indistinct that no opinion
could be formed of their expression or
condition. The body was cut open and
thorough and complete examination
made, with a view to determining all
the physiological facts that could be of
interest IN connection with the case.

and was in n healthy condition. IS were
all the other internal organs. DR.. Mac.

the room where the autopsy was held
said there was nothing, so far as he
could see, about the brain that wasab-
normal; Its weight, according to DIR.
MacWlIliams, WAS 49s ounces. The
general viscera, he said, were in per-

LATER.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-The BODY of
Guiteau was buried this afternoon in
the northeast corridor of the iail. and
so TAR as is now known to the contrary
the remains will lie there undisturbed
by any future sepulture. Under the
law the disposition of bodies of crimi-
mails who are executed rests within the
discretion of the warden. In the case
of Guiteau, his sister, Mrs.
ScOville was without means and could
not have undertaken his burial ex-
penses, even if permitted to do so. The
only other relation who has appeared
upon the scene, his brother, John w.
Gulteau, was unwilling to as
sumo the risk of taking charge
OF the body, believing he would
be powerless to prevent "body snatch
ers'' from stealing them. Therefore
Gen. CrOcker resolved to bring the as
sassin's body within the walls of the
Jail where it would be beyond the
reach alike of vengence or speculation.
THE NORTHEAST CORRIDOR a..
IN which Guiteau was buried, is upon
the opposite side of the rotunda from
which he was hung, and from the win
dow of the cell in which he was con
fined, one can look down upon his
grave. The brick flooring was
removed this morning and "a grave
seven feet deep was dug. This after
noon the coffin containing the BODY of
Charles j. Guiteau was borne from the
chapel upon the shoulders Of six iail
prisoners, and without any service or
ceremony whatever, was lowered into
this grave, buried from sight.
THE ONLY PERSONS PRESENT
were John w. Guiteau, DIR. Hicks.
Warden Crocker and son, Mr.. Wright,
undertaken, Wood, the engineer of the
Jail, Deputy Warder Russ, Capt. Crocker
and the six prisoners who acted as pail
bearers. The coffin was closed last
evening, and no one has since been
permitted to see the remains. Mrs.
Scoville, accompanied by Miss
Chew lime, arrived at the jail
shortly before four P. NJ, and
lmpOrtuned the warders to be allowed
to see. the body and witness the burial
Gen. Crocker, however, remained firm
IN his determination not to accede to
her request, and after few minutes
she returned to the city, bearing a num-
Der OF flower pieces which she had
brought with her, and which she ex-
peoted to place upon the grave.
As the body was being taken down
the steps leading from the chapel to
the center of the rotunda of the build
ing, the moufners or rather witnesses
stood near the door leading to the
northeast rotunda, and as it was taken
down the flight of steps leading rom
the rOtunda to the brick floor of the
corridor hey silently filed in behind the
pallbearers.
ARRIVING AT THE GRAVE
The little procession halted. Warden
Crocker looked inquiringly, first to DR..
Hicks and then to John Guiteau. GAIL
right" said the latter with the same
composure he has shown all through
the ordeal of the past three days, and
the coffin was at once lowered to It's
place. After the earth had been re-
placed and the top of the grave
leveled off Guiteau stepped for
ward and placed at its head
a crown Of white immortelles. Not
a word was spoken; not tear was
shed. An outcast from human SYM
pathy when living, Guiteau had found
an unWept sepuloher in an unmarked
