After careful consideration Of the report of
experts on Guiteau's brain, it was endorsed
by DIR. Lamb and forwarded to Philadelphia,
where it will be published in a medical jour
nal. The report is couched in language even
more technical than the report of the surgical
autopsy, and will necessarily be almost unin-
tellible to the average reader. DR.. Lamb de-
clined to express an opinion as to the result of
the examination further than that the position
taken by DR.. Godding, that Guiteau was in
sane, would be materially supported by the
last report. He does not believe the report
will change opinions as to Guiteau's sanity to
any great extent, but that the medical frater-
nifty generally must draw its own conclusions,
and this was the court of last resort.
