GUITEAU's LAST CoNCLUSIoNs-HIs DYING
HOPES.
Washington, June 24.-Guiteau has sent
the following message to his spiritual adviser,
Rev. Mr.. Hicks:
"Go and see Arthur and shake yonr fist in
his face. Tell him made him president by
my inspiration, and he must give me an un-
conditional pardon, and if he does not, Goo
Almighty blast him forever. tell you, Bro.
Hicks, | am Gods man, and God takes care
Of his own
Letters have been received by Mr.. Charles
Reed and others interested in the Guiteau case,
from George Scoville, who is now in Chicago.
In these letters Scoville announced that he
has left Cleveland for the east, and he express
eS grave apprehensionss as to her sanity. He
fears that she contemphtes attempting to kill
her child and then committing suicide on the
day of Guiteau's execution. Scovile earnestly
urges her friends in the east to keep close
watch on her movements. The district attor-
ney to-day issued orders of the marshal of the
District and wardens of the Jail to keep Gui-
teau in strict confidence until the day set for
his execution, and allow no one but his spirit
ual adviser, his physician and the officers Of
the Jail to communicate with the prisoner.
The friends of the condemned man still profess
hope for Guiteau. Reed says he does not
despair, ana that he will make another appeal
t. the president at an early opportunity. DR..
Beard left here for New York last evening, but
is expected 10 return. Miss Chevallier will have
conference with DR.. Gooding and Rev. Mr.
Hicks, this evening, to determine on their
future account, with view to obtain stay OF
execution. The death warrant has been ready
since May ~. 1t will be signed on Monday
by the clerk of the court, and will then be sent
to warden Croker.
GUITEAU GIVEN UP.
Washington, June 24.-The cabinet has de-
cided not to interfere with the sentence of
Guiteau, and the attorney-general this morn
ing instructed the marshall Of the district, and
the warden Of the Jail, to keep the prisoner in
strict confinement, and allow no person to see
him except his spiritual adviser, his physician
and the officers Of the Jail
Later.-The result of the special meeting of
the cabinet last evening, in considering the
case OF Guiteau, was made known officially
this morning by statement from the attorney
general that the plea for respite cad been re-
fused. This conclusion was reached last
evening, but was purposely withheld from the
public in order that it might first be made
known to the prisoner. The encouragement,
to whom all appeals and petitions presented to
the president bearing on the case had been re-
ferred, submitted an elaborate report to the
cabinet last evening, reviewing all the
points presented in favor of a respite, and
recommending that it be not granted. on the
ground that the sanity of the prisoner had
been fully established at the trial. The re-
port was generally discussed, and unanimous
ly approved by the cabinet, all the members OF
which were present. An understanding was
reached as above related. Rev. Mr.. Hicks
called on the president and attorney general
last evening to learn the result of the meeting,
but were informed that nothing could be d.
vulged until this morning Similar efforts on
the part of Mr.. Reed, Guiteau's council, were
also fruitless. Rev. MIR. Hicks also called
upon the attorney general this morning by APP
pointment, and was informed that the cab
met had decided not to interfere. MIR. Hicks
thereupon drove to the dristrict Jail and in
formed Guiteau of the decision.
