Here there was another interruption,
caused by sobs and emotions which he was
unable to repress. He wept bitterly and,

crowd to
VIEW THE REMAINS
the scailold was at once filled with people
who curiously examined every point. Al

place and the body was borne
TO THE JAIL CHAPEL,
where the physicians who were to make the
autopsy were assembled. Guiteau lust
before the trap was sprung dropped piece
Of paper from his hand. This paper was
given him by Warden Crocker to be
DROPPED BY THE CONDEMNED MAN
as signal that he was ready. John W

execution that he was glad it was over

said Guiteau. "He will not be taken out Of
the jail" The spot indicated by the warden
as Guitean's burial place is in the same
court as the gallows and q few yards
from it.
Guiteau, when he came out into the ro
tunda from his cell, looked calm and col
lected but very pale. His arms were pin.
ioned behind him and he held his head
erect. He gazed upon the crowd
WITHOUT FLINCHIEG.
He wore black suit of clothes, and in.
stead of q collar had handkerchief drawn
loosely about his neck. Those who ex.
pected sckening or distressing scenes were
disappointed. Guiteau walked firmly
through the rotunda and court. He
stumbled on one step leading up to the
scaffold, but
RECOVERED HIMSELF
Immediately. When he began to read his
voice was loud and firm. He gave words
now and then sort of singing infection
like preacher reading hymn.

the terms of the death-warrant, to file with
the clerk of the court, recites that the sign
ers were present at the execution of Charles
