, Charles j. Guiteau was issued to-day
| Washington, June 29. 1SS2.-Doctor Hicks,
custodian of Guiteau's body. invites you to

[Sguedl GEORGE nj. BrA"o.
) The above invitation was sent by telegraph
to many physicians. DIR. Beard, who leaves
for home tonight, says he feels no interestln
further proceedings. He expresses his firm
conviction that he has fairly predicted Quit
eau's action to-morrCE. lie does not believe
the pest mortem examination will reveal the
true condition of Guiteau's brain, or sufhci-
emily demonstrate his insanity. DR.. Beard
says that in selecting the names of those to be
invited to the autopsy, he tried TO cover per-
sons of all shades of opion which had been ex-
pressed with regard to the prisoners mental
condition.
THE seov1LLEs.
Mrs. Scoyille said tonight in further sup
port OF her opinion that Scoville had no In.
tention of coming toWashington at this time,
that just before her departure for the east
Scoville had announced his willingness to pay
the expenses of herself and daughter to
Washington provided she Mrs. Scovillel
| would surrender certain papers. Recurring 10
| the letter which she had received from SEQ
vile, last evening Mrs. Scoyllle SAID there
were enclosed therein number of self adj
dressed envelopes which Scoville wished
handed to his little daughter Bertha whom
| he desired to hear from, q request, Mrs,
Scovilie added, which would be complied
| with.
Mrs. Scoville also added that there was alb
solutply nothing in the contents Of the letter |
to indicate that her husband contemplated |
coming to Washington and she expressed the |
| opinion that the telegram Announcing his in |!
tention OF doing so, was made up by some
person or persons desirOus Of making a Sensa- |
ton. She says she is firmly decided to retain |
the custody of the little girl aud irrevocably |
fixed In her determination to obtain divorce |
from her husband. When asked if the near |
approach OF her brothers. doom had caused
her TO lose hope she replied, mo, and ven
ture to say that Friday Will bring with IL a
great surprise"
She is very hopeful that the hand Of the e1
ecutive will yet intervene to prevent the kill
ing of an Insane man.
1t can be stated authorltatiyely that the |
president will not see any moro persons IN re-
ference TO Guteau'S case, and it Is useless Tor
any one 10 send any more letters, appeals or
petitions 10 him on the subject, as he has
acted finally and does not propose to recon
slider his action.
There were number of queer people at the
White house to. day TO gee the president Ill
Guteau's behalf. Noue of them were &C
corded an interview.
They were all referred TO w. FL. Crook, one
OF the executive clerks, who received them IN
an anie-room; and he heard their requests
Three woman and one man wanted 10 have
him persuade the president TO eee them, but
to no purpose. They came separately, but
were all on the same eriaud, 10 ask that
Guteau be respited because Of his insanity.
One man was Frenchmau and wanted GtIeau
pardoned outright. When Crook told one
woman of the visitors that it was useless for
her to trouble herself further about the case,
as the president had decided not to interfere
with the execution of the sentence, she was
very much overcome with grief and burst
into tears, and had ~ be led out of the build
ipg. She sadly bemoaned her unhappy lot,
and said it was shame for the country TO al
low "poor brother Guiteaun to be hanged.
The letter in the nature of will by which
Guiieait disposes of his body is is follows:
WASHINGTON, d. c., June 29.-To Rev. w.
w. Hicks: l, Charles j. Guiteau, of the city
of Washington, in the District of Columbia,
now under sentence of death which is to pc
carried into effect between the hours OF II
and o'clock, on the 30th day of June, A. D.,
1882, in the United States Jail in said District,
do hereby give and grant you my body after
such execution, provided, however, it shall
rot be used for any unnecessary purpose,
and l hereby, before God and for
sufficient considerations, give, deliver and
transfer to said Hicks my books entitled "The
Truth and Removal and the copyright
thereof, to be used by him in writing truth
|ul his DRY of my life and execution, and |
direct that such history be entitled "The
life and Work of Charles j. Guiteau;" and |
hereby solemnly proclaim and announce to
all the world that no person or persons shall |
ever in any manner use my body for any mer-
cenaly purposes whatever. and if at any time |
hereafter any person or persons shall desire TO |
honor my remains they can do it by erecting |
a monument whereon shall he inscribed these |
words, Here lies the body of Charles j.
Guiteau, patriot and Christian. His soul is |
in glory [Sgnedl CHARLES j. GUITEAU."
Witnes:es-Charles Ill. Reed, James Wood |
ward.
In conversation with representative of the
Associated Press to night Reed, counsel for |
Guiteau, said 81 have seen nothing as yet to |
shake my conviction that Guiteau will die to-
morrow without weakness or faltering. His |
courage is not that of an ordinary criminal, |
mere Iuilan who takes pride in dying game. |
1t is rather that of a martyr, OF a man who |
suffers aud dies for the sake of some religious |
principle | thought ut ose time he was be- |
ginning to show weakness. | saw in the |
newspapers that s.,iritual adviser had been |
called in, and the thought occurred to me that |
perhaps Guiteau had begun to realize that he |
had committed crime and needed divine for |
giveness, and that he wishes to make prepra- |
| ton for death. The next time | saw hun |
said TO him. "Charles, | see by the newSpa- |
pers you have called in minister. Do you |
feel as if you needed 10 prepare for death? Do |
YOU repent of what you have dOne?
He looked at me with wild expression in |
his eyes, snd shouted, "no haven't called in |
any minister. haven't done anything wrong. |
The minister came of his own accord, didn't |
send for him."
Two or three days after | was introduced 10 |
DIR. Hicks, whom l haS never previously met, |
and said TO him, "doctof, has Guiieau ever |
| shown in his talk with You any CONSCIOUSNESS |
of having done wrong; any feeling OF repent |
ance or desire for forgiveness?
"None, whatever" he replied;"h he has main |
tanned constantly throughout that he has |
done no wrong; that he has simply done
| Gods service and has nothing 10 repent Of"
| Up to the present time, Reed added, Guiteau
talks of his death without any manifestation
of fear of death. He said 10 me, "To morrow.
| Mr.. Reed, what are you going to do with my
body ?" told him that was a very painful
subject to talk about, and that would rather
not go into it, but that he might
rest assured his body would be properly cared
for. He said, 81 don't care particularly what
is done with it SO long as it is not used for
gain" Iassured him again his body should
not be diagnosed or used for mercenary pur-
| noses. "What do YOU mean by lhat,n he in
