The Dallas weekly herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1885, 1882-07-06

Guiteau stood with bowed head. At its
conclusion DR.. Hicks opened the Bible, and
Guiteau, in firm tones, said: y Will READ
a selection from the tenth chapter OF MAI
thew, from the twentieth to the forty.hrst
verse, inclusive" He then read in clear
strong voice and with good intonations,
showing little, if any, nervousness; Dr.
Hicks produced the manuscript which was
prepared by the prisoner this morning, and
HELD IT BEFORE HIM.
While DR.. Hicks WAS arranging the
manuscript Guiteau exhibited slight ner-
vousness, and moved several times from one
foot to another. He soon recovered his
composure, looked over the SEA of up
turned faces and said: 81 am now going to
read to you my last,
DYING PRAYER"
He then read in loud tone ana with dls-
tinct and deliber alive emphasis the follow
ing: MY
DYING PRAYER
on the gallows: Father, now go to Ihee,
and Thee, Savior; | have finished the work
Thou gavest me to 40, and | am only too
happy to go to Thee. The world does not
vet appreciate my mission, but Thou know
est it-Thou knowest Thou didst inspire
Garfield's removal and the only
good that has come from 1t.
This is the best evidence that the inspirs-
ton came from Thee and l have it set
forth in my book that
ALL MEN MAY READ
and know Thou, Father, didst inspire the
act for which [ am now murdered. ms
government and nation by this act ! know
will incur Thy eternal eDmity as did the
Jews by killing Thy man, my Savior savior:
The retribution in that case
came quick and sharp and
know Thy divine law of retribution VIII
strike this nation and my murderers in the
same way. The diabolical spirit OF this
nation, its government and its newspapers,
towards Thee will justify Thee in
CURsING THEM,
and know that Thy divine law of retrl6u.
tion is inexorable. l therefore predict that
this nation will go down in blood, and that
my murderers, from the executive 70
the haDgman, will go to hell.
Thy laws are memorable, oh, Thou supreme
Judge Woe unto the men that violate
Thy laws. Only
WEEPING AND CRASHING OF TEETH
await them. The American press has
large bill to settle with Thee, righteous
Father, for their vindictiveness in this
matter. Nothing but blood will satisfy
them, and now my blood will be upon
them, this nation and its officials. Arthur,
the president, is coward and an migrate.
His ingratitude TO the man that
MADE HIM
and saved his party and land from over
throw has no parallel in history, but Thou
righteous Father, will judge them. Father,
Thou knowest me, but the world hath not
known me, and now 60 to Thee and the
Savior without the slightest i'll will towards
any human being. Farewell, We men oil
EARTH"
At several points he 'hslf.paused and en-
deavored to impart an Increased emphasis
| to his words by
PECULIAR FACIAL EXPRESSION,
often observed during the trial when he
was angered at something which;
was said or done. Ihis was
particularly noticeable when he alluded 70

little and went on with his chant:l
