Evening Session.

After recess DIR. Gray was asked few more
| QUESTIONS by Scoyille, when the district at
| torney announced the conclusion of evidence
| on the part of the government.
Scoville walked over to tine dock and con-
| ferred with the prisoner a few minutes
| After returning to his seat he said: "Your
! honor, / am taken somewhat by surprise by
| the action of the prosecution in not calling
| several witnesses whose names had been
given in as witnesses for the prosecution.
| These gentlemen being employees of the
government, were in a position to know
J something of the mental condition of the
prisoner about the time of the shooting of
the President | do not know what action
in the matter the defense will wish to take,
but will inform the court tomorrow morn
ing"
DIR. BowKER,
of Kansas City, was called by ScovilIe Wit
ness met Mrs. Dunmore at Lesdville, Colo
RADIO, and conversed with her. She said she
had entertained grave doubts as to the men,
tai condition of Guiteau at the time she OBJ
perhaps she r1 ma better defer divorce pro-
ceedings and await some further develop
ments in the mental condition of her hus-
band.
CLARK MILLS
the sculptor, was called for the purpose of
Identifying the cast made of Guiteau's
a cast of the prisoners head? Davidge OBJ
jected to any reopening of the question of
insanity such as would be involved by the
Identifying of the cast by this witness The
question of insanity had been over-direct,
and in rebuttal the prosecution had already
admitted the genuineness of the cast, and
that was all that could be asked by the
defense.
After further argument the Court ruled
against Scoville, and the witness was with
drawn. The prisoner undertook to read
letter, as he claimed, from an old friend of
President Garfield in Ohio, showing that
public opinion was making in his favor,
when Judge Cox ordered him to be silent
Guiteau-It shows the state of public
opinion outside of this courtroom.
Judge Cox-Be silent. Public opinion
has nothing TO do with this case.
Guiteau-When speak / speak to fifty
million people, not to this little crowd in
this court room.
Marshal Henry Rising and moving to-
ward the dock Keep quiet, sir.
Guiteau-I've got through, sir.
The marshal whispered some instructions
to the bailiff sitting in the dock. moment
later the prisoner started upon another har-
angue, and the bailiff put his hand uron
his shoulder and attempted TO quiet him,
when Guiteau shouted: SECT away from me-
or I'll slap you in the mouth" With this
outburst he subsidized, however, and turned
his attention TO writing autographs.
j. W. GUILEAU
was again put upon the stand and questioned |
in relation to the Guiteau letter to Senator |
Don Cameron.
Davidge-I object, your Honor, to any at
tempt to introduce what has a prinla facie |
appearance of manufactured testimony
Guiteau-Aud so do l.
After arguments on the question, the Court |
ruled against the defense, and this witness
was Withdrawn.
Seoville again brought up the question of |
new witnesses, and after argu-
ment an agreement was made that the defense
submit a motion in writing tomorrow, Civ
ing the names of witnesses and the facts to
be testified to and supported by affidavit, ard
giving the reasons why such witnesses were
not introduced before.
The court then adjourned until tomorrow
