Palmer, president Of the Denver and Rio
Grande railroad company, has returned
from Europe and says in regard to the
various charges circulated to the injury
of that road during his absence, that the
finances of the company have always
been kept distinct from those of Mexican
companies; owing those companies no
money and there is none due from them.
The unfunded liabilities of tho road are
$'2,224,0l5, against which the company
holds cash, Or its equivalent, to the
amount Of S2,229,S34. Besides the above
cash equivalent the company has other
resources amounting to So 1903, ,142, appli-
cable to competition of its lines. and of
which sum it is estimated only Sl,927,-

$l25,0O0 to a New York bank, which
bears six per cent interest and is due in
April. The same bank has on deposit
nearly four fold that amount to the cred
it of the company.

Tho Trial of (;uiienu.

Washington, Jan. lG-As soon as court
formally opened Scoyiile began his i'd
dress to the jury by confessing his unfa-
miliarty with tho modes of practice in
criminal cases. All the defense asked
for was fair, candid, impartial weigh
ing OF the evidence by fair and candid
men. Counsel would attempt no ora
tory because lie was not equal to it, and
because he would not do it if he could.
He would address himself to the reason,
judgment and intellect of the jury. Or
atory. evidence and appeals to passions
he would leave for the counsel who would
follow him-Judge Porter-and he de
sired to warn them that in the efforts of
the learned counsel. Judge Porter, to ex-
pound law or explain evidence, he would
invariably seek to influence them
through their emotions to touch their
hearts and sway their sympathies. rather
than convince their judgments.
The prosecution statement that if the
prisoner knew the act was wrong the End
of July that he should hang now, is not
by any means the whole or correct state
ment Of the law. The court has added
in substance as follows:
Yet, ii In this act he was ovcrpowered
by consciousness, causing his diseased
mind to believe that which he was doing
was necessary for the good OF the coun-
try, and was especially approved by God
then you cannot convict him of murder.
Continuing, Scoville said that the sec
ond count i'll the Indictment is provis-
ion of testimony and he proceeded to sus-
tain the court by reading from Davidge's
speech. comparing 1t with the testimony
ooh, that's for money" called out Gui
teaG; "He is paid for that; he don't be.
lieve it."
Scoville contended that facts were per.
fected. and particularly evidence as to
the immorality of the prisoner; the only
allegation that will hold against him is
that Of adultry.
Guiteau shouted out, How many in.
nocent people are there here in this court
room" and he added,-"not pnc.'
4 moment later he called cut, II don't
care to libel Christian people, but want
the record straight-I say high toned
men and women are yirtuous, but the
mass Of mankind are not; let that 60 on

AS ScovilIe paused Guiteau raised a
laugh by calling out: "Aln't that a
pretty good place to stop, Scovile? 1t
must be half past twelve. Let's call a
recess.
Porter stated that he would be unable
owing to the condition OF his health, to
remain this afternoon, but he desired
Scoville not to abstain for that reason
from saying anything he desired to say
