C., Noy. 2.—Mr, Seo- yille’s speceh today was fn many respects a motel, It was diffuse, it Incked symmetry, and It showed at times defictent information, but, In spite of these blemishes, It was an ef fort which would have done credit tu any jury lawyer. Tho argument was cogently framed, und well sustained, the style easy and simple, as became the ocension, and the delivery unaffected and winning. It is be- coming dally moro evident that the proseen- tion made an error in belittling the talents of Gulteau’s counsel, In tho bouts be- tween the prosecution and himself, he has, thus far, managed to come outwith the Judgo on his side, and today has outlined a sehome of defense which his opponents, If they are sngacious lawyers, must recognize as formidable. ONE FACT 18 PATENT, Mr. Scoville is fully a mateh for District- Attorney Corkhill, Tho Jatter gentleman has been worsted already In several little combats, and was today put to shame Ina fashion whieh {s Hkely to teach him cantion. Tle saw fit to, spenie of Guiteau and Scoville as playing o part whieh they had conned to influence the jury’s minds. Mr. Scoville re- plied to this charge with such moderation, and, withal, In such sultable terms of rebuke, that he won the sympathies of the audience. Indeed, on two occasions hig remarks werd so Just and fit that tho strange apectacle was presented of an American crowd applanding tha legal protector of Charles Gutlteaw. Lt was a high compliment, and must bave.como ag waweet reward to the speaker, Mr, Sco- villo : HAD ONE GREAT ADVANTAGE, springing from lis life-long personal reln- tions to the acensed, do could spenk not only as an adygente, buta friend, Lis argue ment had all the force of testimony. No one, for instance, “could have told the story of Gulteau’s Ife from tho wit- ness-hox better, or more authoritatively, and the country will admit that the narratlye, as related, exliblts an eceentricity akin to mad- ness, if not within its proper domain. ‘The account willbe read with a paluful interest, ‘Tha religious zeal of tho family, STRETCHING BACK ‘To TIE NANTES, the taint of Insanity that showed in the blood In later times, tho havoc sprend by this pot- EDICT oF son In tho familly of the prisoner's grandfather,” tne melancholy career of several of ily near Kinusfolx, the mental aberrations of bis father, the clouding over of hls own youth, his er- ratio life of failure, delusion, and folly, the anstety and care he made in the family, the speaker's own futlle efforts to save his body: and mud from ruin, ils gradual change for the worse, ns shown by his acts and lotters— all these details were given In orderly pro- eesston with’ a quict, unassuming, serious Brace, It wasan oxtraordinary blography, HUTLER, Mr, Scoville is now yory confident that Gen, Bonjamin FP.

THE TRIAT. : SCOVILIIS BYEECH, WITH THE CONSTANT INTERRULTIONS OF THE ASKABIN. Wastunatos, D.C, Nov, 2.—There was the usual crowd present when Gultean was brought tito tho conrt-room this morning, Heo hid “arkle of honor” from the jall, o mounted escort belng tn attendance. “After ho had taken his seat he ssemed tn remark bly goad bior, which is oxplilned: by the fact that ho liad Just received a vory nice lat. tor, Incluslig a money-order for 820, from an Ulinols lawyer, After reaching the prison. ers’ room Giltean partook of a hearty break fust, antl expressed. himself satisiled: with tho police arrangements mnie to insure his sufoty, He thought the same preeautions should haye been observed at the outset. ‘The court-room was crowded in every nook and corner, Jolin Guitean was in the court. room soon after 0 o'clock, and obtained sih- wenas for six additional witnesses, Nona of the gentiomen publicly jnvited by Civlleau to assist In the defense have yet responded, It Is understoud, however, What Scoyillo expects to secure tho : services of Trude, of Chicago, Inter In the week, Several niedicul experts summoned by the defense were in altendance, among then Dr, Meo, of Merton, Wis, who has Jong known tho prisoner, and who, It is sald, nulviged hls commitinent to an Insane asylum four years ago on the ground of emotional insanity, f SCOVILLES ANGUMENT. ‘Tho proceedings begun with the continun- tlon of Mr, Seovilte's argument, Ile called tho attention of the Jury to the fuct that, however firm might have heen the general opinion at frst, tine had led to some change iy this and other communities, People have begun to wonder whether or not the pelaoner was of sound mind, Each one on the jury had said he could carefully woigh all teat mony on this question of Insanity, ‘Pals they must do, Hu also ndldressed tho Court ta the effect that he should ox pect to have tha jury’s attention called to tho fuct that the whole questlun of insanity was In thelr own bunds. No two cases of insanity were ever allke, ‘There are insane persons who are compelled by an tr reaistible fore to do wrong, and are npablo to control their actions, Another man might be no such victim of Impulse; yet, If a man was shown to be 2 monomanine on any atih- fect,'or to hayo Vecn of unsound mind in any partleular, those things must have their welght with the fury, On tho question as to whether the prisonor was {in controt of-him- self when the shooting was done, or whether he would have done such a deed had he been of sound mint, he cited cases whero men had been hung, notwithstanding a de- fonso of Insanity, and whero 9 post-mortem examination had revealed unmistakable in- sanity, Ife even potnted ont a ense in this court, Judge Fisher presiding, where a col- ored woman was convicted for the murder of a whito mat, and that, pending a new trial, sho dicd, and the post-mortem examina- {lon showed that sho was Insnne, Lo bee lieved, too, that = Dit UMONALD ; hins testified In a certain case that a man was sane, when, after death, he was found to havo been insane, and yet tha jury will have todepend grently upon expert testimony in this cense, Mr, Scovilla mentioned thesa things to show that Insane defenses are not always shams nnd dodges. No insane inan was cvyer declared sane, although the reverse was frequently the ense, Insuch cases the burden of proof rests with tho prosecution, ‘The present was thé casa of © man who lncked rensuning power, who knew what ho wanted to do, but not how to do it, Le was not mad, nor crazy, but Incked reasoning faculties, starting with falso promises, and tried to argue from them. Scoville said he understood a ense nearest Hke the present would be testified to by . DI SMTZER, OF NEW YOIt, who claimed that aman witha peculiar de- feet of mind mleht go in’ poltites, mingle with great men, think lilimself one, dislike his treatment, and even commit a erent crime, ‘This seemed, Indeed, to be nt proph- ecy of this shooting, He dl not insist insanity was always hereditary, © but it was tho rule rather than the excep- tion, that where there was a taint in the blood tusanity was the probable re- sult. Seoville argued that it was Impossible to separate the intnd from tho body, and Just ag wrong to punish a man for malformation - of the brain as for malformatlon ot a foot or arm. ‘The viet had no control over It, and ‘was not to blame. Counsel then: proceeded to discuss the causes and evidence of Ingan- ity. ‘The cnso was elted of an Ohtoan who attempted to shoot Ilayes, and was subse- quently sent to an Insane asylum, and it was shown that altliough the man had never been in Washington he had a complete plan of tho Capitol. ‘This was to show that insane peo- ple often: plan out their subsequent work, Scoville argued that irritability aud inability to do business, auteven homicides, were free quently Incidents of a desire to kill, ‘The most common kind of insanity was where there was a Jack of any motive, whieh, of course, showed Inck of reasoning powers. Such was the enso of a young mun who re- cently shot duwn several: men and was shot hinself, Scoville next considered the ques- tlon of, FLIGNING INSANITY j+ and snid if the prisoner was feigning ho was not worthy the protection of Jaw. Experts wore nover unable to detect 2 really Insane nan, but some men a6 tlnes were able to fuol experts. In order to do thisa man must have a knowledge of Insanity, Guitesu has none. Yot the District-Attornoy had said he was sane and felzuing a part. At thts point Gultenu Intorrnpted ina loud velee: “LI nuver felgn anything. 1 always act es Tom, sane or insane.” Scoville—That, L expect, will be proven to the Jury. Scoville continued, that when he first hvard of the shooting he had said,.as did Mr. Blalne and: Gen, Garield: “The man fs ernay? Distriet-Attornoy Corkhill DENIED THAT NLATINE AND GARETELD had ever sild so, and cnlled attention to the fact that Blaine hind sworn he thought Gui- teau sane, Scoville replied that he expected to bring evilence on these pointy. Ie thon pro- ted to discuss the Insanity of members of Gultean’s family, Moe would show that his grandfathor was Insane, and tho taint ran through tho'funily,. He elted family names, Martin Luther, Abratinn, ete, to show a re- Nglous mania, Also, ona -relative, with 2 well-to-lo husband, hid a mmita that she was golng to the poor-house. Anotier was bright girl up to 1 years, and then beering Iinbecile, nnd is now In an asylum. Another ded tasane, Another was nie tisane by love affalrs, and tho father of Guitent had a manta that he could never die, Inwhich he was disappointed, Mr. Scoville went on to say that tho mother of dcfendant was, to say: the least, veculinr, and that just before Gul- teat was born she hud 1 severe sickness: had brain trouble, and had to have her trend | shaved. ‘Tho hair this taken of would be shown In court, ‘Lhis Gultenn was born. HE WAS A BNA Hoy, and there was nothing wrong about him, ex- cept, perhaps, an linpediment in his speech. Iie father whipped him for this, and whipped Kin. as only an intensely religious man ean whip, but Itid not destroy the impediment, lle outgroW it. One day, while at play, ho was struck on the head with a stone, nul thus) was caused the sear which hay bean spoken of asthe mark of somo person en- counter, Mr, Scoville then detailed the his- tory of the prisoner, how he spent his thie in Frevport, copying deeds; weut to Ann Arbor ta school; found himself unprepared and worked hard at study and reading rellglous books: how the latter had a bai Iniluenee, and how he finally went to the Onelda Com- munity; lived there five years, and was fully Jnprossed that thelr doctrine was right, and even oxpected to become tho ruler of these bellevers In the world. ‘Lhe communists tooked upon hin as a common sort of fellow, and, to speak commonty, “ant down on hin? ‘rhen he went to New York, and, living on crackers and water or some other brain foad, Inbored. for months - unsuccessfully ta start a religious payor, While this stery was being told the prisoner covered hls face with lis Land and laughed quletly, ns if amused with tharemembrance, Mr, Scoville then referred to his return to Onelita, as ff in tho fullilimont of hits wish to do what he considered to be tho best thing to servo Qod, and he eatled attention to tho faet that the testhnony for tho defense would slow that all through his life M8 GREAT MOTIVE POWER nd been what -he thonght tha Lord wanted him to do, Ie only tert the community be- enuse he was Iterally oppressed by gute of tha customs of the colony, ant when he did leave it It was with a fecllog that he was de- parting fromthe way to heaven, Upto tly time all the efforts of his frlonds to get hin to leave the colony were Ineffectuul, and even after ho loft them It was tong before he con. eluded there was auime other road to heaven, Hinally id took tp lew and was examined by Mr. Reed, of Chicago, who asked three ques: tons, Ciulteau answered two and was ad- iuitted to tho bar, Ile was unauecessful as a Inwyor, and collecting bad debts was his prinelpal business; Whenever he inet an other lawyer In court ho failed, Lora Gultenu interrupted Scoville, saying: ““Thayo had good many cases In court and ever was called a fool, Whenua lawyor I generally gave them ns good ns 1 got.” Scoville continued: “Gulteau wits porsist- ent aaa debt collector, and had a good bust neas—"" Guiteau interrupted: “Ifo had also’ goud habits, and ‘ WIS PEUSONAL: AUUEAMANCE, which brought the business,” \ “Woll,” sald Mr, Scoville, “ho never had bad nablta.

I nlways telithe truth’; and again he broke in: &L iad brains cnough, but my mind was de- voted to theolozy; that’s why I ran behind. ‘There’s no money in the theology business. Vm out of that now.” Scoville spoke of his clicnt’s impecunious condition, and Guillen sald: “I was always well-dressed. Don't put that in? Scoville related an Inetdent in Guiteaw’s fe which his friends thought in- dicated Insanity. Gultenu, with mnueh warmth, sald: “Pye heard that story be- fore, and it is absolutely false. DON'T TELL ANY BUCIL STUFF AS THAT : AGAIN,” Scoville relatedGuiteau’s varied oxperiences during tho Moody and Saukey revivals, and hls efforts and fallures ase lecturer on re liglous subjects, and the lack of apprecin- tlon shown by his audience. Guiteau thus explained: “New ideas on that subject— they hadn't got. to them at that thie,’ and, as though thinking he nad not quite made ig meaning plain, he added: ‘1 had fdens, but no reputation; and the ideas wouldn't. draw.” Guiteaw’s bellet he was serving the Lord, and it was tho Lord’s business to pay debts Incurred In Ills service, was men- tioned, when Guitean Inuchingly sald: “1 dendhended from ‘Toledo to Chicago on the impresston imy = appearanve mado with conductors, EF got put off — twee, though.” Scoville, white deserlbing Gut- tenu’s relixious experiences, was frequently interrupted by the prisoner, with "1 left a $5,000 law business to do that work, and you all kyow how I made out with it,” and again, “Same kind of business tho Apostle Paul was engaged in—he got his pay, and L ex. pect to get ming some time | OUT OF TILA Hook 1 Wrorr.” A moment after, with a showof enthusiasm, and ralsiug his voice, Gulteau exclatmed: 1 used to go round the strects selling my lect: ures, People thought 1 was a book-ngent; and Liyas happier when L was dolng that work than ever before, I was working for the Lord, not for money.” Scoville then alfuded to Guiteau’s suscep: fibility to the Influence of women, and sald that such was his disposition in that’ respect that he would talk to any woman as long as she would Hsten to him. “That's not true,” shouted Gulteau. “LPur A NOTICE IN MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY that any lady whe wanted to correspond with ine, who would send hor address; if sho was all right, would be well reecived; and to this notice 1 got a response from a tady worth $10,000, ‘That wasn’t bud, was it?
