Washington, Dec. 81.

Cunningham, has got au eleven pound
baby for a new years present, (laugh-
ter In which the jury heartily joined.)
DIR. Gray resumed the story of his
conversation with the prisoner in the
Jail.
Guiteau interrupted: That don't cor
respond with your evidence of yester-
day doctor, you went into inspiration
then.
Scoville, objected to che statement of
the witness, saying: He said nothing
of the inspiration or Divine presence,
and urged that the witness must give
the conversation or a substance of 1t
as it occurred, and that it would be the
province of the jury to say what should
be inferred from it.
Witness qualified the statement by
adding-I asked him questions and my
statement Is based upon his replies.
Witness continuing said: The prisoner
used the expression when 1 made up
my mind" -n UunWM
Guiteau misunderstanding up my
mind was the result Of the grinding
pressure, that is where the inspiration
came in, please get that straight while
you are about it. : u a1
Scoville again objected and said that
the witness was loosing sight of the
1~--.iou ana is going into argument.
Guiteau-He has forgotten what he
testified yesterday. Corkhill must
have gotten hold OF him and instruct
ed him what to say to-day, that's
what's the matter with him.
Scoville disclaimed any desire to in
terupt the witness, but the prosecution
held him to strict requirement that he
should make his objections specifically
and he must therefore stop the witness
at every point where he was satisfied
an objection would lie.
Guiteau continually interjected COM
ments and with Scoville's frequent OBJ
jections, the witness soon became sem
sibly disturbed and when he was asked
to go on he said: There are SO many in
teruptions, i don't know where 1
am.
Guiteau quickly retorted-I should
not think you did, nor anyone else. I
have been trying all morning to find
out where you are. Facts are badly
mixed this morning, doctor. We will
have to send for a small boy to find
you.
Witness was about to state some
reasons which induced him (witness) to
form an opinion that the prisoner was
sane at the time he visited him al the
Jail.
Guiteau again interrupted and call
ed-Dr. Gray is deyoting himself TO an
argument to the jury this a. m. which
he has no right to do. He should con-
fine himself to facts. Porter Will take
care of the arguments (sarcastically.
Judge Porter 1 mean.
Scoville again objected, the witness
was volunteering argument instead of
adherinR to the statement of facts.
Witness with some feeling replied
I am under oath, Nh. Scoville, and L
do not care to volunteer anything which
is not strictly and appropriately evil
