60 to the dock, because no reliance
can be placed upon your promises. "
Guiteau shouted-"Then | move,
your honor, that the court room be
cleared
A passage was made through the
crowd and the prisoner was finally
seated in the dock. Il ain'l afraid, !"
he shouted, TO walk through the
streets of Washington God AL
mighty will protect me as lie has
done" After CHANGING around from
his new place he called out: "0h, |
rather like this, your honor, it gives
me a much better opportunity to
see.'
After one or two outbursts on the
part OF the prisoner the examination
progressed for several minutes with
out incidents. Mr. Scoville handed
up the cast of Gniteau's head and
inquired . If the inequalities were
sufficient to attractattention ?" That
looks like Humpty Dumpty," shout
ed Guiteau as the witness held up
the head and closely examined it.
I"Corkhill, I'm indebted to you for
this fine seat. It's a great improve
ment.'
Witness thought the head was de-
cidedly well shaped, though he at
tached very little importance TO such
matters. He had in his assylum IN
sane persons with very symmetri-
cal heads and knew plenty of sane
people with very i'll shaped heads.
Witness did not believe Guiteau had
been feigning insanity in the court
house, but thought he had exagger-
ated his natural characteristics =
egotism, vanity, insolence and au-
dacity.
Guiteau (shouting)-"You mean
when I'm assaulted | hit back. You
see old Porter has been promised
$1,000 if he would have me hanged.
He sees the American people don't
want me hanged, and his fee is
therefore slipping through his hands.
That makes him mad"
As tie crier announced the ad-
journment of court, Guiteau called
out: "Oh. I'll get in my work over
here; don't you worry about that"

SMALLPOX i'm Dakota.

WAHrHEroS, Dakota, Dec. Is
Seventy-seven cases of smallpox
have occurred in the infected dis
tricts below here, twenty-five of
which have proved fatal. The di-
sease is spreading considerably on
this side of the river, and seems to
be singularly fatal. Some of the
victims are said to have died within
twenty-four hours after being at
tackled. 1t is also said that before
death blood gusEes from the eyes,
ears and nose of the victims. These
symptoms suggest that the disease
is not simply small pox, but par
takes rather of the nature of a
plague.
