The Question OF Guiteau's Sanity.
New YORK, June 22d.-A Washington
special says: The petition of medical ex-
perts in the Guitsau case was presented to
the President to-day, together with large
volume of new evidence. A portion of this
evidence relates to Guiteau's exploits in Cali
fornia several years ago, and will, DR.. George
M. Beard thinks, establish conclusively the
fact of his insanity of many years duration.
The Gaze will be presented in detail by DR..
Beard and Miss Chevalier, who hope, in tie
Pre- 'ent state of public sentiment, to induce
the President to take action in the premises.
Dr. Beard claims that no scientific Commits
sion would for moment assert the RESPONSE
oility of Guiteau as sane man that if such
Commissioners are appointed the avoiding of
the death penalty is foregone conclusion.
