MR. scovILLE ARRAIaNs THE Stall
wART LEADERS FOR THE CRIME.
Discussing the horrors Of crime a. Of
ten shown in the act of insane criminals,
Mr.. Scovllls sad there is nothing in this
act to compare with some of these In
sane acts Of insane criminals, and "Gen-
tlemen Of the jury, in my opinion, If
there we're not reasons, and powerful
ones, back Of this prosecution, this pri-
soner would never have been brought TO
trial. But tell you, gentlemen OF the
jury. back OF this prosecution is an In
huence which have felt, and which you
may feel, gentlemeR, before this trial Is
concluded.
"There are politicians who seek TO
hide their own shame behind the dis
grace Of this poor prisoner and make |

not intend, gentlemen Of the jury, to
take up this feature of the case; but /

have asked, q fair and impartial trial,
and the small facilities needed for . |

aud ConklIng and Arthur are morally
and intellectually responsible for this |
crime.
Mr.. ConklinR shall not escape, shall |
not shirk the responsibility Of the |
state of things that led to this aot, and
be shall not escape the condemnation
of the American people, If can help |
it, for his share in this dIsgraoeful
scramble for Office that led TO con-

nation, and led this poor insane man
to compass what they would have

ssassination--the removal Of Garfield
who stood in the way of their un-
righteous and disgraeeful struggle for

Neither shall Grant escape that

subjected when coming from Mexico,
and coming with undue haste, to
throw his name into this petty quarrel
about small Office In the Republican
party, and sought to foment the diff

This clamor for his blood is not for
