Rev DR.. Hicks, Guiteau's spiritual advisor,
stated TO q CRITIC reporter this afternoon that

Guiteau insane, but moro OF n religious fanatic
or monomaniac on tho subject OF religion, be-
ing combination OF an enthusiast, religion
ist and n fanatic. He is sustained In an abid-

like Martin Duther before Worms In that re-

Hicks, who says he never saw another like
him. His eloquence, Imagination and beauty
OF expression is something wonderful. He stll
claims to be Gods man and to have acted
under inspiration. Dr. Hicks is confident that
he Will die on the gallows, fearlessly and full
Dr. SpitzIta's Request.
DR.. Edward spitzka, OF New York, the medi-
cal expert who so positively testified for the
defense that Guiteau was insane, has written a
letter to the Judge Of tho Criminal Court, ask
ing permission TO be present at the post-mor-
TEN, claiming that both sides should be repre-
sented, and as he had testified unqualihedly
TO Guiteaus being insane he thought he

CRITIC reporter met George II. Williams

during the entire trial, both at the courthouse
and jail, besides serving the Scoville family in
the same capacity. He received from Guiteau

othe Editor Of The Erening Critic:
cannot refrain from expressing to you my
satisfaction with your editorial in Saturdays
| CRITIC on the petition to the President In be-
| half of the miserable wretch, Guiteau. l was
| simply disgusted with the Stars article on the
| same subject. Your editorial possessed the
| sense OF calmness, fairness, manliness and
| Justice, while there was scarcely a sentence In
the Stars article that was not open to question
| or actually untrue. Whatever has been or Is
done in Guiteau's case should be the result o
| calm dellberation and unhesitating, stern JUS
ignorance, passion and fanaticism which the
| Star seems to mouth. PHILo JUNIUS.
