FEARS ABOUT MRS. sCovILLE.
One of the persons interested in Gui.
teau's behalf to-day received a letter
from George Scoville, dated Chicago,
June %, as follows:
find by the papers that Mrs. SEQ.
vile was in Cleveland yesterday on
her way to Washington or New York.
Sha went to Milwaukee Monday night,
intending to prosecute her divorce suit,
as stated, and to remain in Wisconsin
three weeks at least. She left there
Tuesday afternoon, and next l hear
of her is by telegram to the press of her
presence in Cleveland yesterday. We
are exceedingly anxious about Bertha,
and fear Mrs. Scoville will kill both
the child and herself if her brother is
hung. At present 1t is impossible for
for me to leave, but / will go and send
for the child ifit seems necessary. But
it is all important that l know whore
they are every day and that some friend
is advised of the necessity of watching
her movements. She is sly, cunning,
deceptive, and untruthful, all of which
may be set down to the results of an
unbalanced mind.
At times she is desperate, and the
most careful watching will be no guaran
tee against violence toward Bertha or
herself. What TO do l know not.
have tried to humor her whims, hoping
to keep track of her and to pervail on
her to leave Bertha with us, l think
you could accomplish that, but if it can.
not be done by persuasion l shall have
to take her by legal process before the
30th Of June, for dare not have her
with her mother after that Will you
not find ont what you can and tele
graphor write me line daily TO relieve
my anxiety? I shall wait and watch
for news with breathless anxiety. Why
will she not leave the little girl here?
But it is useless to ask why, since no
reasons influence an insane person.
Will you not get such a watch on foot
that l may be advised by requesting
different persons to telegraph or write
me? Yet you must not let her suspect
you, for sho will deceive you. You
know what l want and need, and l
trust your good sense to act for the bene
fit of my child, so that she may have
proper protection. If that is accom-
plished I ask nothing for myself
Hoping to hear from you, l remain
your friend, GEORGE SCovILLE.
INTERVIEW WITH THE ASSASSIN.
The Rev. DR.. W. W. Hicks gives the
following account of his visit to Gui
teau: He called about II 80 O'Clock
and remained for an hour He inform
ed Guiteau of the result at once Of the
efforts in his behalf Thi announce
ment did not seem TO have depressing
effect upon him and he talked as cheer
fully as ever. He expressed some feeling
because the President had referred the
subject of his respite to the Attorney.
General, saying that President Arthur
should have taken the responsibility
upon himself tat he (the prisoner)
had not appealed to the Cabinet, but to
tie President, and az his act had made
him such it was the least the President
could do to respite hi for IA short time
till the case could be heard in the Su
preme Court Of the United Sta'es.
He then repeated that he was Gods
man, and was in ~,od's hands, and
asked DR.. Hicks to he at his side when
he WAS hanged, saying that he would
die tor his inspiration, feeling that cod
would justify him in the other world.
He had now no personal interest in the
matter, but he felt for the Nation,
which would suffer in the event OF his
being hanged, and he now fully ex-
poets TO be hanged, DR.. Hicks and the
prisoner engaged in religion, conversa'
tion for some time, and, before parting,
arrangements were male by which
DR.. Hicks would spend some hours
with him daily.
