Nov. 13,—In the Warden's room at tho District Jait today. ubout noon thoro waa o vory remarkable scene, the imurderer of tho President mecting there his slater, Mrs. Scoville, his brother, John W. Guiteau, of Bos- ton, and bis brother-In-iaw, Georgo, Scoville, of Chleago. ‘The Warden respected tho fechings of tho innocont relatives and loft thom with thalr brother, the nasasin, alone. ,Thoy were thoro for an hour and a half, What pasacd betwoon thom {a known to that family alone, Tho jail ofliclats wha observed the very ovident erie! of Guiteau’s relatives sald that thero could bo to doubt that the Interviow was most affecting. Gultoau had fot seen his sister for thro yonra, nor bis brothor for two years, The Interview acoms to have mollowed Guiteau, for during tho afcor- noon be was very much subducd. . Later in tho day from a corridor leading to his call the voleus of prayor were hoard. “BomoJtadies from tho Woman's Chriatian Union had been admitted to his cell, and were praying for hls soul, Ono of thom was hoard to say to Guitoau: “ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN 2?” Guitoau's anawer was: * Lam, and Lam hoartl- ly insympnathy with your work.” A numbor of visitors to tho Jail had followed the women ints- slonuries down to tho cell. Somo of thom en- torod it and some stood outalde in the corridor while the convorsntion upon religious subjocts took placa. Ono acntenco in the prayer of one of the women, ns {t was heard in the outer cor- ridor was: “Lord bavo mercy on this dear min's soul.” Whon the mlssionnrios left tno colt a bystander approachod them and uafd: “You have asked tho Lurd to have morcy on that doar man's soul. If tell you thera fa no one, on carth, in Honven, or in Hell who cares for hig soul. The bystandor for- got the poor brothor anc sister whom Guiteau bad just loft in the Warden's ofice, Tho pray- 1g woman sald sho mount to bavo askud tho Lord to have meroy on his doar soul. ‘To ono of tho visitors Guitcau said that ho INTENDED TO MAKE A SPEECH in tho court tomorrow, and be bad carefully prepared itin bis coll, Ho was certain that it wns a specch which would impress tho court, and that it would furnish a Satisfactory explanauon of what ho atill calls “tho removal of Gartiold." Tho epecch was writton in ink on twelve pagos of futtor- papor inn fairly neat but somowhnat crabbed hand, Tho papor was not ruled, and tho Itnos wore written irrogularly neroas tho pros. Guiteau sald, ns bo fondly turned over tho Ioavos of his inanuscript, that tho apocoh would take au hour to deliver, and that ho wished tho Porson with whom ho was talking to be certain to bo present in the court-ruom to hear it, A visitor in tho corridor who overheard thle remark eald: “You will not bo permittud to make that speoch, aud they will hung you on tho apot if younttompt it." Guiteau at this was groatly olfonded, und desired that the vialtér who made tho remark should come buck 80 that be might explain to hit his motives for tho asgasiuation. ‘Tho visitor did not return.
