A SPECIAL PROVIDENCE

jury so to consider it. Some eminent
people of America think me the greatest
man of this age, and this feeling is
growing, They believe in my inspira-
ton and that Providence and | have
really saved the nation from another
war. My speech setting forth in detail
my defence was telegraphcd to all the
leading papers and published Monday,
and now ! am permitted by the Honor
TO deliver il to YOU
Guiteau then explained to the jury that
his speech opened with question from
his Christmas greeting to the American
people, and in using it for the opening of
his speech to the jury he had neglected
to cut the date, Christmas, 1881.
After thanking his counsel and paying
avery high compliment to the zeal and
ability which Scovile had displayed,
whom he proposed soon to reward with
very liberal fee, he extended his
grateful acknowledgements to the court,
the jury, officers and bailiiis, and last
but not least to the American press The
later
