HIS RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCES.
The first religious exercises held in Guteaus cell
were some weeks ago, when cOlored Baptist minis

two visits from the evangelsts Bentley and Jones;
and layman from Baltimore about a week ago
succeeded in drawing him out more than any other

remarking "Oh, yes, know that. 1t was used

the prisoner In JAIL and an attempt has been made
to make it appear that the jail officials make too
much OF him. The fact is that in reality Guiteau

isolated from other prisoners. Although he has

Ihe statements too, that Guiteau has been fed on

the exception OF the extras he took at the court
