ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL.

CHICAGO, June zo.-btOlSe SSo'itiS'
Guiteau's brother-in-law, has addressed an
open letter to the President. 1t consists
a general arraignment of the press, peo-
pie, Courts, witnesses and the preachers
for their ill-treatment Of him, OF his FAM
ily and of Guiteau. He incidentally re-
marks that Guiteau has done more harm
to him in his purse, his family affairs and
his ease of mind than to anybody on earth.
But he urges the President, notwithstand-
ing, to grant a respite, and not yield to
the insatiate thirst for vengeance which
blinds high and low alike to justice. He
maintains that the question of sanity has
not been fairly settled. Incidentally he
Reed of improprieties in his con-
duct of Guiteau's case.
CHICAGO, June 26.-The Journals Wash
ington correspondent says: Guiteau GER
tainly must hang. His mail is increasing
greatly. The requests for autographs are
many. Unpleasant advice also arrives.
Among the last arrivals was a large rail-
road spike, with a skull and c~rossbones on
its head, to be used as the last nail in his
coffin. John W. Guiteau, brother Of the
assassin, has sent a telegram to the Presi-
dent, saying that he will be in Washington
to-day with new facts in the Guiteau case
regarding his sanity, and asking for a de-
lay of the final decision till those are heard.
1t is not probable, however, that this has
been granted, as the Cabinet decision seems
to have been unanimous, and as positive
as was that of the jury in the trial of the
case. Guiteau still clings to hope, refus-
ing to admit that his last chances are
gone. He talks freely of the execution,
and told Rev. Mr.. Hicks that he wanted
him to go on the scaffold with him, if the
worst comes. Nobody but the jail officials
and clergymen are allowed to see the pris-
oner. The Warden says his counsel will
hereafter be denied him, although if it
were possible to take any additional steps
to save the assassin, he would be permit
ted to converse with Mr.. Reed. A few
newspapers not containing articles in re-
lation to his impending execution are
given Guiteau, but his Bible is the book
he reads the most. He is seldom able to
Fix his attention on that volume for more
than twenty minutes at time. He takes
dOCut odC Loul " AClLISt ChCh dd}s "dlh-
ing up and down the corridors, but he
tires Of continuous reading. The assassin
is in a very troubled frame of mind, and
his keepers anticipate that his mental con-
dition viii grow worse from now on until
the end.
Guiteau passed Sunday quietly. Rev.
Hicks is the only person allowed to visit
him. He conversed quite cheerfully, reit-
Grating his inspiration during the inter
view, which lasted an hour and a half. He
said: II am Gods man, and can go to
heaven tomorrow. I would not mind be-
ing hanged right away. Whether the
American people can afford to let me be
hanged, or whether they really desire that
I should die, is another question:" Hicks
thinks Guiteau really desires to be hanged
with no member of his family present, and
he is waiting calmly for the day Of execu-
ton. The physical condition of Guiteau
has not changed much recently. He has
lost a pound or two Of flesh during the past
week, and his face has that haggard ap-
pearance usually noticed in condemned
criminals after long confinement.
