BAYARD'S VIEWS.
Why He Favors the morrill, Bill.

Special tD Western ASSOciated Press.
WASHINGTON. II. C., January Ex-senator
Bayard's speech on the Morrill, tariff bill!
was an arraignment OF what he denomina-
ted Congressional lobbyism. He said that
Congressional lObbyism had manifested
itself in the Credit MOblier, and that mem-
bers OF Congress had been influenced in
their votes on great and important ques-
tions by Self-intcrcst. The House had
dilly-dallicd with and delayed, year after
year, action upon the tariff. He intimate1
that the system Of protection has been
fostered and maintained by questionable
means He was willing to try the expert
ment of tariff commission, composed OF
men not members OF Congress, who would
devote themselves and their abilities to
this subject. II the officiating power de-
sircs it. such q commission can be created,
Ii ought to be created, for as long as this
Congressional lobbyism exists and is
tolerated by the people, there will not be
any reduction of taxation. This bill is an
experiment, but he was willing to try it as
q possible step in the direction OF tariff
reform. He could not enforce the measure
in this direction as he desired, and so
would take the best he could get.

THE LAW OF THE CASE.
Continuation of the Argument on
f9 Instructions.
Judge Porte1s Terrific Arrangement Of the
Prisoner---Judge cox's Decision
on the Points Presented.
BAD, OUTLOOK FOR THE DEFENCE.

The chief point relied upon by the de-
fence i'm the Guiteau case, aside from
that of jurisdiction, is that If the jury
entertains reasonable doubt of the
sanity of the prisoner, 1t should aequit.
The decisions in eighteen States, IN the
L. s. Courts and from the Engtlsh
bench are opposed to this view, but
there have been decisions IN eight otthe
Western States in favor Of the PROPOSE
ton, the case of Hupp VS.. The People,
81 illinois, being the most elaborate. In
that case the judge said: "ln every
criminal proceeding, If a reasonable
doubt is entertained of the guilt OF the
accused, the jury is bound TO acquit;
sanity is guilt; insanity is innoeencei
therefore if there Is a reasonable doubt
of the sanity of the accused they must
acuuit. The presumption of innocence is
as strong as the presumption of sanity"
This looks plausible, but will not bear
the test of critical examination. 1t Is
acknowledged that jury doubtful OF
the guilt of the prisoner onght to acqult
him; but what is the foundation OF this
time-honored precept? Does it not rest
on the presumption of innocence in the
prisoners favor? The law holds every
man innocent until proved guilty; there
fore the man who is not proved guilty
in the Judgment of the jury is entitled to
the original presumption of guiltlessness.
In regard to insanity there is no such
presumption in the prisoners favor rs
there is i'm regard TO innocence. The
natural rule and the prevalent one is
that the sanity of the accused is to be
presumed; and therefore when the evil
dence presented Is of such character
as to leave the jury under reasonable
doubt as to the prisoners sanity,
the natural course for the
jury would bc to fall back
on the presumption Of sanity. In most
cases where insanity is pleaded as de-
fcnsc, the decision of the main question
the guilt of the acCuSed-virtually de-
pends upon the decision Of the prelim-
mary qucstion-the sanity of the ac-
| crlsei-and therefore there Is show of
| reason in tie claim that the presump-
ton of innocence should hold good
against the presumption of sanity and
oVer-rule it to the .acquittal of
| the accused. On the other hand,
| why should the two questions be
run together" Why should not each be
decided in its proper logical order: In
most cases where jury doubts rs to
amans guilt they dOubtas to whether he
really committed the crime charged or
| committed il in the manner charged.
Where insanity is pleaded there Is com,
monty no question as to the commlttal
of the deed charged, and the real point
| to he settled is responsibility.

Judge Porter

began the argument shortly after ten
O'Clock, and at once fixed the attention OF
every one in the room. Guiteau pretend.
ed to be engrossed in his manuscript, but
soon laid it aside and listened with wrapt
attention.
Nothing like ii has been seen or heard
during the past nine weeks in the Guiteau
trial. As Judge Porter reviewed the con-
duct of the prisoner and the conduct on
the part of his counsel of his cause in this
court, the crime, in all its hideous ugliness,
was held up to the detestation of his hear,
ers. The silence became oppressive and
the presence of ayenging justice i'll the
near future was suggested with force OF
conviction that swept from the court room
every vestige OF tina; levity which has 50
long danced attendance upon every utter
ance of the prisoner. and like a veil oh

was completely overawed. Neither his

that poured from the lips OF the eloquent
counsel. THE prisoner is mistaken, your
Honor" said Judge Porter, ''if he believes
that by his unseemly brawling he can pre-
vent my voice from being heard by the
Jury. The puppet cannot be moved in
such good time as when he sat with his
counsel. Now he is fast tightening the
hangman's moose about his neck.
With nervous twitChing of the mouth,
Guiteau muttered: I'VE will sec about
that" The heretofore audaciOus and
wholly unabashed prisoner seemed i'll at
ease, and at q loss to understand why his
would-be sallies of wit or impudence
wholly failed with the audience. while the
more strong became the denunciation of
the counsel, the more frequent and marked
were the demonstrations of approval.
Finally, like wild beast brought to bay
Guiteau yelled out: IL staked my life on
the issue, and am willing to go to the gal
lows tomorrow if it's the Lords will. I'm
sick OF this bOsh. Judge Porter, | wish
you would get your five thousand dollars
And Go Home"
Judge Porter concluded his mastery ar
gument at II 40 by reading the now famous
letter of President Garfield to Judge
Payne. in which he complimented and
thanked him for brushing away the net
work of sophistries with which ii has OF
late years been customary to envelope in
sanity when set up in excuse for crime.
Judge Cox,
at AS. began the reading OF his decision.
which begins with lengthy review of the
subject of jurisdiction. He occupied %
minutes in reading that portion of the de-
cision touching upon the question OF juris-
diction. He reviewed the progress of opin-
ion, and cited all the important rulings
from the early days of the common law
in England, and decided against the prayer
of the defense. He summed mp the que5-
tion that jurisdiction is complete in the
place where the wound is completed: con-
seauently this court has full cognizance Of
the offence.
Judge Cox next took up the question oi
the legal test of insanity, and decided thst
knowledge and appreciation OF the dittlT-
ence between wright and wrong must be
taken as the criterion.
Judge Cox concluded his decision ar lbs
d. M, having consumed an hour and forty
minutes with rapid speaking. Upon every
material point his rulings were directly
against the prayers OF the defense. The
only grain OF comfort for the prisoner was
offered when Judge Cox reached the ques-
tion OF
Reasonable Doubt.
Upon this subject he said: Il shall not
charge the jury to scquit if they find Tea-
sonable doubt as to any one element, but
shall take into consideration and charge
them relative TO all the elements, and that
IL from all the circumstances and evidence,
they have reasonable doubt OF the com
mission, by the defendant, of the crime as
charged, then they shall acquit."
As Judge Cox finished speaking Guitean
called out: "Iam perfectly satisfied with
that exposition OF the law"
After consultation batween counsel, the
court adjourned until Thursday morning,
when Dayidge will make the opening
argument to the jury for the prosecution
