speaking OF his case, Guiteau's case was referred
to. The near approach OF Guiteaus doom seemed
to have depressing effect on Shaw, and he spoke
| in subdued tones. Shaw stated that he saw Gull
teau every day when he was taking his exercise,
ana he sometimes halted at the door and spoke a
! going to glory, for he was Gods man. and he was
urging him SHAW to prepare to go there. His ad-
vice, Shaw said, did not have much effect upon
him, for he could not look on Guiteau as
GODS man when he swore so ana used such
| fearful curses and oaths Shaw was asked 'Are
you frightened to be In the same corridor with
| him?" and replied, "When a fellow next door to
you carries on IKE Guteau it is not the most
| pleasant place to be in" Shaw further said Gul-
teau had not yet bid him goodbye, but he sup
| posed that he would do so in the morning.
! "GOD's WOMAN"
| Yesterday, among the prisoners sent down to
the jail by the Police Court, was colored woman
supposed to be deranged- Last night she kept the
female department OF the Jail in uproar. While
screaming the most unearthly yes, she was called
to by one Of the of1cers, who ordered her to stop
her bowling. She replied, 81 am Gods woman,
and I'll make as much noise as please" Through
the night she continued her yells, making sleep
almost impossible for any one in the west wing OF
the building
A LADY VISITOR.
About ~ O'Clock last evening q lady, fashi0na-
bly, attired in jumbo grey silk, appeared at the
door OF the jail and asked Capt. w. G. Croker IL
she could see Guiteau, stating that she understood
converse with them. She was informed that he
had closed for the season-his last reception hour
having passed.
COUNTERFEIT TICKETS OF ADMISSION TO THE JAIL.
Yesterday tickets OF admission to the jail, had
they been transferable, would have commanded
large figures From $50 to $500 was offered for
tickets. There was no genuine ones for sale, but
IT having been reported at the Jail that there were
weli-executed counterfeits out 1t was determined
to stop all such presented Accordingly an alpha
betical list OF those whom passes or Invitations
| had been issued was prepared and the guards as
signed to the door were instructed to admit no one
unless his name appeared on that list
FLUCTUATIONS OF FEELING
About ten days since 1t was supposed by the
jail guards that the prisoner was showing signs OF
weakening, or, in other words, dropping down
from his inspiration theory, but for some reason,
| most probably because OF the efforts being made
in his behalf by Mr.. Reed, DIR. Beard and others,
/ he subsequently became somewhat confident
| OF respite, and his old manners returned. Being
| left to himself, he endeavored in every way to
study up some means OF escape, and even proposed
| that Gen. CrOcker and the deputy should resign
| With the idea that he would succeed In some
manner In having the officers delay the execution
until the hour Of two O'Clock should have elapsed

has been reported, but prayer for the American
Republic, intending that it should have been pub

| PRoPOSITIoN TO sAUGGLE POISON In TO THE PRls-
| oNER.
! The proposition was made to Rev. nr. Hicks that
as he had the right to enter Guiteau's cell when
| ever he was so disposed. that he should smuggle
poison in to him so that he might end his days
thereby and cheat the gallows The proposition
was spurned by the minister.

! boqnet OF flowers was sent in to the cell OF the
prisoner by his sister. Shortly afterwards the in

caused Guteau to break out in his denunciation OF
the authorities reported elsewhere. SO persistent
was Mrs Scovile to go into the CELL although she
showed but little emotion, and as the little girl
carried In her hand small basket, apparently of
Ice cream, that the officers became suspicious and
every movement OF the visitors was watched, and
| nothing was allowed to pass into the CELL The
| flowers were also removed It may have been that
the officers deemed It best to give no opportnnity
