Belief That He Wit Not Have to Be
Hanged-Judge Cox to Dispose of the
Corpse.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Guiteau is begin
ming to show much nervousness and irriUa-
bility. He is suffering from severe cold
which has infamed his eyes. One of the
Jail officials says he would not be surprised
if Guiteau did not live to be hanged.
John w. Guiteau last evening spent an
hour in his brothers cell in company with
Warden Crocker. The prisoner became very
much excited and denounced his brother
and Scoville.
John w. Guiteau, in card to the public
disavows all knowledge of the proposed ex-
hibition of his brothers body and says
whether his brother dies by legal process or
in an Insane Asylum, the body will De dis
posed of in manner that will not offend
public decency.
In view of the recent propositions to make
a public spectacle of Guiteau's remains,
though highly probable, Judge Cox will ex-
ercise the discretion given him by the Re-
vised Statutes, and include in the death sem

naturally under high state of excitement
but her mind is entirely sound. He also
declares the story of her having raised row
in the Daniels House. Chicago, as false; that
it was made out of whole cloth. He de-
clares there is not word of truth in it. He
and other relatives of Guiteau have no doubt
the body of the assassin will be delivered to
them after the execution. He appears to re-
gard favorably the proposition to exhibit the
body of the assassin, but John Guiteau de-

Scoville has expended his means in the
trial, and it is said he would not object to
being reimbursed by the sale OF the body in
case Guiteau is executed.

1 never saw such diabolical spirit as some
newspapers have toward me, especially
those that were cursing Garfield last spring.
Since he was shot they have deifed him and
cursed me for doing the very thing they
said ought to be done, viz: Remove him.
