 ble Letter from His Brother.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-John w. Guiteau, the only brother of the assassin, has ad- dressed the following letter to the public q did not hear of the Philadelphia refriger- ator mans proposition to apply to my broth er's body patent process for preserving meats until I saw it in print day or two ago, and supposed it was a joke or clever advertising dodge. It was never submitted to me, nor did I know that MT. Scoville was seriously entertaining such 8 bargain until to-day when I heard of his reply, which I have just now in print. I shall never have anything to do with such an exhibition, and do not think it can be accomplished with out my consent. When my brother is dead, whether he dies by legal process or in an in- sane asylum, his body will be submitted to proper post No01teao examination in the inter est of truth and medical science, which, be- ing accomplished, it will be disposed of in manner that will not offend public decency and morality, stimulate a depraved and vicious curiosity If I am favored with pros perity had rather assume the payment of his debts, as my own, than for any purpose use the proceeds of so repulsive and perni- cious an exhibition MT. Scoville deserves and has my sympathy and admiration for the sacrifices he has so manfully endured and the heroic devotion he has exhibited in my hrother's 1afense
