WHAT CuITEAU SAYS OF HIS CASE.
Rev. Dr. Hicks visited Guiteau about 4
O'Clock Yesterday afternoon, and spent
over an hour in his cell. The prisoner APP
reared TO be more serious than heretofore,
but at first was disinclined to talk OF reli-
0ious matters. and seemed bent on talking
~ the action of the authorities in his case.
and. TO use the expression OF one OF the
ouards. abe seemed to have the Oh
man Adam or the devil lurking In
his breast" Referring to the efforts made
to procure him respite, Guileau saioi
TO MIR. Hicks "Don't go to the President
again for me, but let the President come to
YOU. 1t is for the President to act accord
ing to the dictates Of his conscience, and
he will have to answer before God. l do
not claim respite, but ought to be par
dontd, for the act was committed under
inspiration." He directly afterwards
dropped his case, and, with Mr. Hicks, en-
gagged in reading the Scriptures. and they
Joined in prayer together. DR.. Hicks left
him about $3.50 O'Clock.
Guteau retired last night at his usual
time-about hali-past 6 or Q. He slept well
and appeared much refreshed this morn
ing. lie ate heartily at breakfast, and was
cheerful and less taciturn than usual.
GUITEAU's SISTER IN TIE CITY.
Mrs. Scovile and her little daughter ar
rived in the city last evening and went at
once to her old rooms on Third street. She
remained there last evening, and to-day
moved to other rooms for the purpose Of
keeping rs secluded as possible. She
mt herself in communication with John
w. Guiteau and Mr.. Charles ii. Reed
but with the exception Of these two
she has seen but few people since heI
arrival. She is inclined to be reticcnt rs Ia
| her intentions during her stay in Washing
ton. but has indicated her purpose To sec
| the President and cndeayOr 10 induce him
to grant her brother a respite. She Is un-
willing TO say very much rs 10 her intcn-
tons for fear that some measures viii be
adopted by others TO prevent her from
doing what she wishes. OF late she has
become very suspicious OF nearly every one
and keeps her own counsel. and no one
! knows exactly what she will do. Sht
does not impress one rs being ont OF hei
mind. She has q contained, quiet manner
and only shows excitement when speak
/ ipg OF her brother. She says that she viii

she has done everything for him that Is
possible. II is her intention to attend he
execution, ii it comes TO that, and II shC
/ had any influence with her brother some
siartling events might be expected. Mr.
| Feed. however, does not have the sam'
opinion Of her mental condition rs Mr.
| Scoville, and does not apprehend that there
will be any trouble on her account. lie
expected that she would come here. bu

Mr.. Feed will make one more visit TO Gul
teau before Friday. He says that he doe
not care TO 20 oftcncr, as the visits are
very painful to him.
DR.. EDWARD sPITzKA,
Of New York, the medical expert who 81
positively testified for the defence tina
Guitcau was insane, has asked permission
10 be present at the poSt-mortcm, claimin;
that both sides should be represented, an,
as he had testified unqualified to Gul
teau's being insane, he thought hc shoui'
be present ut the autopsy in the interest o
the defendants family and to satisfy him
SER that his theory was correct.
