the gulch, since which he has not been seen.
Wednesday morning Calkins went to Beck

man. A. he approached the hut he noticed
that the air was full of the odor of burning
meat. Beckvith said Vandecook had been
there but man from Green River. n. T.,
had met him and taken him to that place on
business, and he would not return until
March. Calkins did not believe the story
asI returned to consult with the neighbors,
and posse was organized to make a search
Wednesday afternoon. They found Beck
with gone away and he cannot be found. The
Green River man says he was not ut Beck

A thorough examination of Reckwith's
cabin revealed that the body. after the mur.

alter uay III tnis court room. As Davldge
proceeded to disintegrate the evidence and
argue its worthessness, Guiteau occasionally
interrupted. Once he called out sarcastically,
You don't believe word of that, Davidge
you're only talking that stuff for money.
Davidge continued to discuss the evidence
which he had arranged chronologically, and
caused ripple of amusement as he described
Guiteau's career in Boston. There is, he
said. in Boston, among other things. and you
must know that all things are in Boston, if
you do not know it you have simply to visit
Boston, temple or building erected by the
disciples or or believers in the doctrines of
the atheist, Tom Paine. Davidge ascribed
the peculiar conduct attributed to Quite au
when he lectured there, to the fact that the
company were out of accord with them, and
their ridicule aneered and dsgusted him, but
he (Davidge) ridieuled the idea that anything
had been shown by this evidence
to indicate insanity. The counsel dissected
with startling perspicacity the testimony of
one witness after another and pointed out the
weakness and unreliability of those witnesses
for the defence, which had been based in MANY
instances upon the most meagre acquaintance
Alludinx to one witness daniels of virginia)
who neither had been asked nor had ex-
pressed an opinion IS to the prisoners sanity
Davidge said, '.In my opinion he was their
spect for man who does not express an
opinion than for those who are so ready to
express one with no data upon which to
base it,
I've just got my speech OUT" called ont
Guiteau. 'but I'm afraid it will be a month
before get chance to deliver it, Judging
BY the way Davidge is going on"
The hour of three having arrived Judge
Porter suggested an adjournment which was
assented to by the counsel for the defence.
An exciting discussion then ensued upon
Judge Cox inquiring of the counsel if they
desired to say anything upon Guiteau's re-.
quest to be heard
The district attorney, in a ringing speech.
protested against Gniteau being again al
lowed to take seat at the counsel table.
lAppiause from the audience with shouts of
Guiteau and cries Of 'sorder" from the bailiff
made an exciting scene for some moments.
Guiteau was finally heard shouting through
the din; american people will read nv

The American people are trying this case.
