exercise. Then he bade me goodbye and
asked me to call at the earliest opportunity"
ADVERSE DECISION.
On Monday when the court assembled Mr.
Reed was present, together with Col CorkhiI
and Mr.. Davidge, counsel for the Government
The court did not reach the consideration of
Mr.. Reeds petition till 1120 a. m, when Judge
Cartier said: In the case of GHitcau, the
judges who listened to that case have come TO
the conclusion that they have exhausted their
powers upon it; that they have heard it pa
tiently, fully and fairly, and that reargument
would bring them to no other conclusion than
that which they arrived at and decline to re-
open the case for argument"
As soon as this brief decision was announced,
Mr.. Reed and others interested in the case left
the courtroom.
Mr.. Reed subsequently said: "I insist upon
it as my right that the record shall be truthful
in all respects, and l say that the counts in the
indictment which alege that the President
died in the District Of Columbia are false, and
in the general verdict of guilty the jury have
found as to these counts, that he died in the
District of Columbia, which everybody knows
is a lie"
He was asked if this was his last resort.
That's what some of the papers say" said
Mr.. Reed. Il say it is not"
"What will you do next?"
"Wait and see. 1t depends, of course, on the
decision here this morning"
"Will You do anything to-day?"
"No, will not be ready to-day. Tomorrow,
though, / will make motion in the Criminal
Court before Judge Wylie. l will not tell now
what the motion is, so you need not ask me-"
II Sec" continued Mr.. Reed, "that Warden
Crocker is represented as stating that all this
foolish talk in the newspapers about Guiteau
breaking down is untrue. Why, if Guiteau is
troubled with fear. he has succeeded most Won
derfully in deceiving me. He is a wonderful
actor if that is true. He does not show any
concern at all"
"By the way" said Mr.. Reed "I received a
letter from Mrs. Dunmire this morning"
The letter was as follows:
LEADvILLE, COL, May 81, 1882.
CHAs. REED, Esq.
DEAR SIR: shall esteem it personal favor
if you will inform me at once ifany effort will
be made with President Arthur for commu-
L
in mind in the matter, and if there is aught |
can do to assist to a successful accomplishment
of that point I am ready to act. We are not in
favor of him being hung, although the press,
both here and elsewhere, have stated to the
contrary. Please let us hear from you soon as
possible, and oblige yours respectfully,
Mrs. HILL DUNMIRE.
ANOTHER MOTION DENIED.
On Monday Mr. Reed made a motion, before
Judge Wylie, asking for the correction of the
record of the trial with reference to the errors
alleged to exist in it as to the place of Presi-
dent Garfeld's death, in order to enable him
to take other steps which he had in view The
motion was denied. Mr. Reed said that though
embarrassed he was not cut off from further
action, and that he would continue his efforts
to the end.
THE RESULT ANNOUNCED TO GUITEAU.
Mr.. Reed visited the jail Immediately after
the decision Of Judge Wylie was rendered.
GGiteau, who was lying on his brnk in his
sleeping cell, arose and greeted his visitor in a
friendly way, and then proceeded to the adj
Joining cell, which he calls his Office. Mr. Reed
announced to him the result of his efforts be-
Guiteau received, apparently, with ccmposure
and calmness. The court in banc," he said
with some vehemence after while, "are cow
ards and cranks. If the powers that be don't
save me and take care of me God Almighty
will come down upon them. l want it dis
tinctly understood that I am Gods man. God
has revealed to me recently that He will take
care of me. All the powers Of the earth cannot
prevail against Him. made Arthur President
by Gods direction, and God will order him to
take care of me. God works through human
agencies, and Arthur is to be the human agent
to save me, if necessary"
Mr. Reed bad private talk with the pris-
oner. When he came out he said, d" 1 told him
what I proposed to do, and he approved of it
all"
'What do you propose to do?" asked the re-
porter.
"I can't say now, but the public will know
in few days"
