a,uiteau,s suppressed Speech.

Guitcau, the assassin, furnished tho Asso-
ciated Press with a brief Of his proposed ad-
dress to the jury. II il like his usual drivel
about the Deity having inspired the dastardly
act. II il . combination Of bombast, egotism
ami blasphemy. Hc starts out BY saying
III the court please, gentlemen Of the Jury,
l am . patriot. To-day suffer in bonds
~ = patriot. Washington was : patriot ;
Grant WAS patriot. Washington led the
armies Of the Revolution through eight years
Of bloody war to victory and glory; Grant led
the armies of the Union to victory and glory;
and to-day tho nation il prosperous and happy.
To-dsy-Chrstmas, lSSl-l suffer in bonds
- patriot because had the inspiration and
nerve TO unite great political party, 70 the end
that the nation might be saved from another
devastating war. To-day suffer in bonds as a
patriot. There j. not the first element Of muir
der in this case"
After harping 1t considerable length upon
the old plea OF inspiration. quoting Beccher,
Talmage and other cl,rgymen, and declaring
that when he became President in 1854 no
would clean out tho Mormons right speedily,
hc closes thus t. the jury;
ITO hang man in my mental condition on
july 2, when tired on the President, would be
lasting disgrace to the American people.
The mothers and daughters Of the republic are
praying that you will vindicate my inspira-
tion. beg You do not set the Deity down
Oh yon by meddling with this case. beg,
for your own sake, and for the rake OF the
American people, and for the sake Of gem
eratons vet unborn. that YOU let this case alone.
You cannot afford to touch 1t. Let your vcr-
diet be that it was Deity's act, not mine. When
the President was shot his Cabinet telegraphed
TO foreign nations that 1t WAS the ret OF mad
man. and ii will be far better in every way
that 1t be officially decided that it was the act
of 'madman.'"
