SAID: IL have nothing yet to
shake my convection that Guiteau will
die tomorrow without weakness fatering.

is rather that of a martyr, of man who
suffers and dies for the sake of religious prin-

| spiritual adviser had Oeen called III, and
| he thought occurred TO me that perhaps
Guteau had begun 10 realize that he
had committed a crime and needed divine forgive
| ness and Tat he wished to make preparation for
deah. The next time | saw him / sand TO him,

called in minister. Do you feel as If You needed
to prepare Tor death DO You repent OF what you
