spitefully. "The Cabinet will go to hell.
Judge Bradley will go to hell. The Supreme
Court of this District will go to hell. Gen.

quiries, said: My mind IL fr5s from ell
worldly affairs, and l an ready to 90. l
have no eumity pow against anyone. The
matter is now between the PRESIDENTS con-
science and his God. l hope that Friday
there will be no bungliEg, and that General
Croker will do his work well 4 prolonga-
ton of my life now will not contribute to my
happiness, although it would be good for the
American people"
After some conversation or religious topics
the minister and the condemned knelt to.
gether and prayed. The latter being appar-
emily more sincere and oevout than at any
previous time. AS DIR. Hicks WAS leaving
the cell, Guiteau said: u" 1 am counting tho
hours until l shall be released. 1 shall have
no fear of punishment hereafter, for I feel
that the act Of which [ have been convicted
was Gods act-that 1 was Gods man, and
that l shall be welcomed TO Paradise"

time enough. Call around, and we will fix
/ it to morrow morning."
Reed and Dr. Hicks came out of the cell
aftera brief conversation, leaving the brothers
together. They had long talk about their
| boyhood and events of years long gone, and
it is said that the prisoner, in speaking OF his
mother, showed emotion.
About o'clock DR.. Hicks re-entered the
cell and asked Guiteau if his mind was at
rest
"oh,. yes" he replied, 81 have emp.ied
everything cut OF my mind except the fact
that I shall have to go Friday"
