A POSSIBLE KFFGCT OF THE GUITEAt
VERDICT

While majority of the people believe
with the jury in Guiteau's responsibility
for his criminal act of shooting the Presi-
dent, they cannot but feel lonently towards
the fellow on account OF the plea of
insanity so perseveringly and ingeniousy
pleaded in his behalf The facts
ELECTED during the trail of the prisoners
past lifc his family history, eccentric
actions and physical appearance were suff-
cient to prove that he had an insane
neurosis. Our present materialistic psychol.
ogy holds brain and mind rs Coexistcnt
factors, and a defective brain, either in
hcrited or acquired, will produce
corresponding defective or abnormal mind.
Now, suppose, as is almost certain, that
Guiteau's brain is unhealthy, the fearful
and incessant strain to which it has been
subjected during the long, weary days of
this extraordinary trial, and the culminat-
ing shock OF the unexpected verdict of
guilty, is sufficient TO topple reason from
It's throne and leave the man mental
wreck, the subject of some one
of tie many diseases that frequently follow
as result of such causes acting on dis.
eascd, nervous organization Such a
calamity would be truly deplorablc for
the cause of criminal prosecutions in the
future. The decided stand taken by many OF
the experts against the unhealthy doctrine OF
moral insanity was very encouraging. and
gave hopes that the present pernicious and
ridiculous habit orusing it as an excuse for
every character of moral obliquity had re.
ceiycd u decided check But should Gui
teau yet cheat the gullows OF its prey,
hysicrical scntimcntalsls and that elias.
of ncurologsts that have reduced the Dor
der'lond between sanity and insanity Ia

as would destroy common sense and turn
future pcnitcntiarics into insane asylums

A canoe bound from Harrisburg to Fort
Simpson was spoken off Wrangel hsrbor
April S0th, and reported that there had been
fighting between two parties of white men,
and two or three had been shot to death. A
well manned canoe had left Harrisburg for
Sitka TO beg the immediate presence of the
war-sloop Wachusetts at Harrisburg. Mr..
0akford is inclined TO believe that the story
is exaggerated. He is almost certain that
the Wachusetts has gone to Harrisburg.

brakeman Run Over and Killed.

BAKERSFIELD, May 17th.-A brakeman in
the employ of the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company, named Joseph Thompson, was run
over on the railroad track at Mojave Monday
night. Thompson was standing with con-
ductor Schaeffer, when both men were struck
by the train. Schaeffer was luckily thrown
to one side out of danger, but Thompson was
thrown under the rear wheels, one of which
passed over his abdomen. He lived about two
hours after being taken out. The body was
brought TO Sumner and Justice Wilkinson
was summoned as acting Coroner to hold an
inquest. After impaneling jury the JUS
tice was compelled to discharge them again,
it being apparently impossible to obtain any
evidence as to how the man came to his death.
An effort will be made to-day to obtain wit
nesses to the affair who can tell something
about it. The deceased was an American
and about 80 years Of age.
