Crocker said to a reporter that the
manner and place of Guiteau's burial
had not yet been determined upon.
The body, he said, would remain in
Jail tonight. DIR. Hicks, who left
the jail soon after the hanging. will
return in the morning, and then the
question of interment will be
settled. John Guiteau, when asked
II the relatives would not ultimate

If the body is taken away nobody
will know ii, at the time at least.b
Charles ii. Reed, Guiteau's coun-
sci, did not witness the execution.
He said he could not stand IL. and
intended to leave city.

At half past two o'clock
DR.. f. b. Loring concluded his ex-
animation of the eyes of the deceas-
ed man. Both eyes were so indis-
tinct that no opinion could be form
ed of their condition or express
sion. The physicians who per-
formed the autopsy were Drs.
ID. 5. Lamb, j. A. Hartigan and
II. Il. Sauers. In addition TO those
physicians there were present Doc
tors Noble Young, Robert Reyburn,
A. K. Mcdonald, Johnson Elliott, s.
A. III. McKine, L. j. Murphy, Chas.
N. Nichols, Surgeon General Barnes,
of the army, Surgeon General Wales
OF the navy, Doctors w. Godding, A.
II. Wilmer and Clark Patterson of
st. Elizabeth asylum, Doctors ID. g.
Patterson, coroner of the district,
&. A. Lieuschmidt, j. II. Hagner and
Doctors Birdsall ana Parish. John
w. Guiteau and DIR. Hicks were
present for short time, but left the
Jail before the conclusion. A close
examination of the body showed
that Guiteau's neck was broken, and
that the rope had cut into the flesh.
There was disposition on the part
of some of those present to
get some mementoes of the
occasion at any cost. The
Jail officers took the rope from
the gallows and secured it as soon as
the moose was removed from the
dead mans neck. DIR. Hicks said,
when asked about the burial, that
he did not want to say when the
body would be inferred. The fune-
raj, such as it will be, will take
place tomorrow, aud will be as pri-
vate as possible.
AT quarter past 8 o'clock the
military guard that has been on
duty at the Jail ever since the I'd
of July last, marched away. They
were loudly cheered as they left. Mr..
Bliss and his son arrived at the Jail
at 8 p. m, and joined the physicians
engaged in making an autopsy. A
reporter of the associated press was
the only newspaper man admitted
to the chapel, where the body was
being dissected. The operations of
the three surgeons engaged in the
autopsy were watched with interest
by others, who crowded about the
table. After the examination of the
eyes the brain was removed and in
spected. Then the body was Gu:
open aud thorough and complete
examination made, with view of
determining all physiological facts
that could be of interest in connec-
tion with the case. The brain was
found to be in normal condition and
weighed forty-nine ounces. The
heart weighed over nine ounces
and was in a healthy condition, as
were all other internal organs. At
3:55 the autopsy was adjourned until
this evening when the brain will be
taken to the government medical
museum on Tenth street, where a
more minute and critical examina-
tion will be made. The physicians
were disinclined to go into details In
regard to the results thus far
reached. DIR. Harrington left the
Jail soon after A o'clock with Gui-
teau's brain. DIR. Godding, who has
that G uiteau was insane,
said, when asked what the result OF
the autopsy was,"I have nothing to
say now."
Another physician remarked: "We
are all know nothings." A bystand-
er replied: $50 the public thought
at the time of the other autopsy
All physicians agree that there were
lymphal in the brain and hardening
of the dura matter. None of them

were many points showing a good

DR.. Harrington, who had custody
of Guiteau's brain, took it, at 4:30. to
the army medical museum, on Tenth
street, where, in rooms set apart for
Photographic purposes, number
of physicians and surgeons had as
sembled to continue the autopsy.
those present were Drs.
Lamb, Lor;ng, Sauers, ReyburD,
Elliott and Gooding, of Washing
ton. The direction of operations
was, by unanimous consent, given
to DIR. Lamb. It had been intended
by the surgeons to begin by making
a plaster cast of the brain with the
view to permanent preservation in
that form of its configuration and ex-
ternal characteristics, but being
found to be so soft and yielding as
to render this impracticable, the
therefore had to be photo
graphy. On account of the lateness
of the hour and of dull and over
cast sky, the preparations were me-

posing it in the form which il had
during life, a number of negatives
were taken of it from various points
Of view with more or less sue
cessful results. Anatomical ex-
of the brain was then
resumed. This examination, which
will include careful micrOscopical
study of the tissues and the structu-
raj characteristics of the organ, will
certainly not be finished before to-
evening, and may occupy
several days. The surgeons and
who are participating In
the autopsy have pledged themselves
