Nevada is too small and should never
have been made Il state, while in order
to take population enough we made

THIRTY SEVENTH DAY.
WASHINGTON, Jan. SIN the crimi-
nal court, this morning, Guiteau
made his opening speech as follows:
Il had very happy New Years
yesterday, and hope everybody else did.
| had lots of visitors, high toned, mid
die toned and low toned. That takes
them all in, | believe. They expressed
their feelings very freely, and none of
them wanted me hung. They all, with
out dissent, expressed the opinion that
| should be acquitted"
DIR. GRAY
took the stand and Scoville resumed
his cross examination.
Witness had not, IN giving his opinion
on direct examination that the prisoner
was sane, taken into account the eyi-
dence of the prisoner himself, but
taking that element into consideration.
his opinion would still be the same:
That the prisoner is sane, and was
sane on the I'd of July"
Witness was asked if he was familiar
with the case of Lieut.. Sanborn, who
was killed by DR.. Wright, of Norfolk,
Va, and replied
YES, sir; | was sent by the president
to make an examination and give an
opinion on the case.
GLOW much did you get for it p
shouted Guiteau.
A NEW DODGE.
1t is understood the defense in the
Guiteau case will shortly introduce
new feature of so-called cranks,
numbering between 40 and so, who
have been arrested here since Guiteau
shot the President, most of whom have
been sent to the st. Elizabeth insane
asylum on physicians certificates. The
physicians in each case will, it is said,
be subp@naed for the purpose of COM
pairing those cases with Guiteau's, and
demonstrating, if the commitments re
ferred to are justly made, that Guiteau
must be likewise insane.
After recess, DIR. Gray was asked a
few more questions by Scoville, when
the district attorney announced the
conclusion on the part of the govern
ment.
Scoville walked over to the dock and
conferred with the prisoner few min
utes. After returning, he addressed
the court.
