to consider, Bismarck's demands respecting
the navigation of the Rhine and the protection
of German fishing interests. That there is
something more than ordinary GOODNESS be-

order to the German representative at The

tive having more ability and determination in
presenting his demands. Out of this appar.
emily slight pretext there may grow radical

Guiteau's Suppressed Speech.

Guiteau, the assassin, furnished the Asso-
ciated Press with brief Of his proposed ad-
dress to the jury. tits like his usual drivel
about the Deity having inspired the dastardly
act. 1t is a combination OF bombast, egotism
and blasphemy. He starts out by saving:
eff the court please, gentlemen OF the jury,
/ am patriot. To-day l suffer in bonds
as a patriot. Washington WAS a patriot
Grant was patriot. Washington led the
armies of the Revolution through eight years
OF bloody war to victory and glory; Grant led
the armies of the Union TO victory and glory,
aud to-day the nation is prosperous and happy.
To-dsy-Chrlstmas 1871 suffer in bonds
~ patriot because had the inspiration and
nerve to unite great political party, to the end
that the nation might be saved from another
devastating war. To-day suffer in bonds as q
patriot. There is not the first element Of muir
der in this case"
After harping at considerable length upon
the old plea Of inspiration. quoting Beecher,
That when he became President in 1884 he
would clean out the MorDons right speedily,
he closes thus to the jury:
"To hang man in my mental condition on
july 2, when fired on the President would be
a lasting disgrace to the American people.
The mothers and daughters of tho republic are
praying that you VII vindicate my inspira~
ton. l beg you do not get the Deity down
on you by Modelling with this case beg,
for your own sake, and for the sake of the
American people, and for the sake of gen.
erations yet unborn. that YOU let this case alone.
You cannot afford to touch il. Let your ver-
dict be that it was Deity's act, not mine. When
the President was shot his Cabinet telegraphed
to foreign nations that it was the ct Of q mad
man / and 1t will be far better in every way
that IT be officially decided that it was tae act
Of a 'madpan.'

ScoviIle warmed up with his subject, and dc
nounced IN severe language the extra judicial
act OF Judge Davis. Had newspaper been
guilty OF such bold-faced attempt ~ influence
the decision in . pending cause, tho editor
would have been subject to arrest for con-
tempt"
Judge Porter" Don't let us turn this court
room into town meeting"
scovile resumed, but was soon interrupted
by Davidge, who, with some mpailence, said:
"Oh, no, no. Scoville that's not So"
Scoville You may interrupt a. much az You
please shall not be deferred from saying
just what believe to be the truth.
Davidge-Well, well, I'll not inter- upt again,
and say what you may.
Guteau-1hats right, Davidge you keep
quiet. You talked for two days and didn't say
anything either now give some one else show.
Scovlie continued When Judge Porter comes
before this jury and undertakes to pervert evl-
dence, / shall not keep quiet, as did with Dav-
idge but shall stop him.
Gulteau-So shall l.
ScoviIie--i snail stop him, and shall correct
him. II i lind he Is misstatIng evidence.
Guiteau-Never mind: I'll attend to him.
Judge Porter-There will be two Guiteaus
then to attend TO me-
Scoville continued: "The prosecution states
that il the prisoner knew the fact was wrong
on July 2, then he should hang. Now this is
not by any means the whole Of it, or correct
statement OF the law. The court has added in
substance as follows: Yet il IN this act he was
overpowered by CONSCIOUSNESS coming
through his diseased mind that what he was
doing was necessary for the good OF the
country and was specially approved by God,
then you cannot convict him OF murder.
Scoville proceeded to point out to the jury
what he termed the perversions of evidence by
Davidge. He attacked the theory Of the pros
ecution that il was the prisoners own innate or
acquired depravity that naturally led up to the
killing Of the President, and discussed at some
length the evidence introduced by them to
show instances of the prisoners meanness and
depravity. "This evidence" said Scovie.
"has III almost every instance been perverted.
Counsel parade here the debts owed by the
prisoner, and attempt to make much OF them
In this cham they are weaving"
Gulteau-I owe about 81 600, and suppose
that ought to hang man. Ii these people
will send in their bills now, Iii give them
checks for them, and get them out of the wav.
/ suppose I've got some money now. I'll get
rid of these people, and then / won't owe any
body.
ScoviIe then alluded to the incident sworn TO
by Shaw OF Guiteau pawning worthless watch
for S2j.
Gulteau shouted "Oh, you better stop on
Shaw pshaw,' mean" And added "That
WAS meant for pun, but they don't seem TO
see II"
scoville denounced the witness Shaw. He
relieved no had deliberately perjured himself
In this case, as had also the contemplate little
jew clerk who came down here to help Shaw
out
Guteau screamed out: "This whole tesi-
mony OF Shaw is false, and no decent man
would believe it for an instant"
