He turted to the jury and thon to the Judge, and begin a graphic, nervous, and exciting description of the scuncs of that.catastrophe. Ue anentioned some of them. with groat detail, and spoke with .the deepest pity for thp poor creatures, as he, called them, who went down, and whoin they wore unable to save; Waving finished this narrative, which ‘was entirely irrelevant, Quiteau again took on the manner of forgetting where he was, or In shat connection Scoville had asked Inia anestion Te simply sald, “That is my exe perleucs on tho Stentazton,” and it was necessary for Scoville to reinind hin of the polut that ho had eudcavoroil to call upon in Lis narrative, Ile seemed very earnest when desuriblyy ion Mis EXPERIENCK AB A DEADBEAT LECT UNEIL ‘Tho pleture he drew of his Hfo as ho,wan- dered from place to place, lecturing pon roligious subjects, selting his foctures on tho street, and: peddling his book ‘from city to elty, was told in agraphle way, ‘Thore wns attines an‘ unconscious bit of humor dis- ylayed, ag he would say, that hig lecture at ene place or another was not successful, be- curiae there was no ong to hear ft, ag usual, 5 UK 16 BO KOOTIBTICAN —, . that ho does not seem to understand that the fault was hia He thought that the people did not care to hear about such subjects, Ne was binsphomous' enough to compare himself to St. Paul, suying, as he read frog tho book 0 paragraph from St. Paul's teach- ing, that that was the gospel which he tried ty preach, and which tho people wonkd not hear.

He told the story of his inception of the crime’ Just as It has been published, and seewed to be very garnest’ Ho glalmed to have had a,great Vorror .of tho act after |t had ‘been suggested to him in his chamber, as he ¢luhued, by the Deity, and lt was about two weeks after tho inspiration the Deity that he gould. fully. ttetormine to commit the net. Ho told the jury how he endeavored to dirmw away fui the ftispiration, but how his efforts falled, nnd'he sald that he had prayed over and: ovorngaln that If itwas not tho Lord's will that this should bo done by him, Ho would interpose sume special providence to prevent tho act, Ilo’ bolloved that, if it shad not been the Lord's will, a special provi- dence would hays been tnterposed. Then JMising in his place, js As IN A BOMEWHAT DRAMATIC MANNER, ho sald, with great Vchomence, that, from tho Ist of June until this moment, ho has nover had any. doubt that ho.was tho agent of tho Delty In doing the nct for the goad of the country and tho people, and that, what- ever his own fate might, he felt asaured that, In tho future, he would bo known ns Guitean the patriot, and not QGuitcau the assnsin. ‘This assertion, in about the same form, ng made several. times during the day, ‘and, while his ideas snemed--to be very confused, or, nt least, ie seemed to be unable to give the jury a very clear idea of what the inspiration was, and how, he distingufshed p Divine tnsptration from 8 mere human de- torminntion, it was apparent that héhad such aniden, ALL THROUGH THE DAY ‘ the experts watched hin with the closost at- tention. Dr. Shew of the. Connecticut Asy- Jum, Dr, Gooding of St. Elizabeth, Dr. Nich- ols of Bloomington, and’ other embtient ex- perts were grouped in sents very close to tho witness, studying his face, and listening to his statements, “It ts yery evident that what- ever determination tho experts may come to ns to Guitenu’s reaponsyiiity for the act, they regard his case as a most remarkadiu one, and one of the experts snid that tt was tho most. Interesting psychological study that had ever come withln his experience, When Mr, Scoville turned the witness over to the prosecution, “Judge Porter arose, 'Thore was a buzz of excitement through the courtrovin, for, up to this moment, Judge Porter. has taken noother part in-the trial than to sit beside tho cousel'for the prosecu- tion.. He began in the most pleasing, insinu- ating tono of voice to question Guitean as to his ago, and os to his law experience. Lo asked him” WITH THE SKIT OF A GREAT CROSS-EXAM- +, INER, a such questions as would tend to so divort his. tind that he could’ put .with great sudden- ness and force a question which would be likely to startle the prisongr. He led up, through a long serics of questions about Guiteau’s law-cnreer to the question whether or not he had been guilty of vices, or had been trathtul, and then, taking grp a note book,-le puta question to him which woald indleate 3 wee THAT GUITEAU HAD LIED. Tlis manner, as he approached this impor- tant questlon,,was terrible, Throwing aside his insinuating: yotee and manner, he re- ‘minded Guitonu of the, discrepancies bo- tween his statements and those of other wit-, nesses, aud attempted to show that Gulteau’s statemunts that-he was truthful were incor- rect, But he did not-frighten Gnitean, His manner was entirely the same as it had been, excepting that he betame very angry when Judge Porter spoke to him of the murder of the President, He would not lave that word used, Ie sald {t was nota murder “TD liave never looked upon it in that dight. It was something that.I way,not personally responglbly for,” and he rambled on, and nelthor the counsel for .tho, prosecution nor the officers were ** % re *. ARLE TO STOP TIM. - : Judge Porter at once tried to soothe the ex- elted prisoner, smiltig “pleasantly at him, and seoning tO take his view of the subject, and then led‘up to the matter of inspiration.

Scoville, the counsel for the prisoner, the. jury, and even Juilge Cox leaned forward with some oxeitement to catch the nnuswer, For a moment Guiteau sald nothing. ‘Then, starting up, he sald with great force that he never thought of the question of murder at all. Ie was siinply striving to find out whether the Deity really demandetl of him to do the act, which was of itself horrible to him in his personality, “qn ONLY Timm 8 that Guitean.scemed ‘to bo affected during this terrible cross-oxamination was when Judge Porter reminded him, with great power, of: the long duys of guffer- ing which - tha.

Gniteau’ was silent for along tine, His glance was cast upon the floor, aud he seemed to be renlly affected, but ho sixidenly burst out with the assertion that, while nobody felt more deeply for the President tan’ he did, it seemed as though the counsel for the. prosecution was unable to realize that this matter was . ,/.& MERE OUTSIDE AcT, for, which ie, was not responsiblo,.and he ‘| then branched off into @ long. explanation, in the course of ‘which he sald the Delty was kind to Garfield In letting him pass ‘away so easily, ‘The crdss-oxaminntion was not fln- ished when the hour for tho adjourninent had arrived, It was apparent from Porter's ‘eross-exaniination that fre will endeavor to show that Guiteuu’s‘nct was tho résult of a victous, depraved: man, who had led a vagrant, vagabond, and unrestrained iifo— that Gulteau was fully pes, 2 AWAME OF TUX LEGAL AND MORAL CON- SEQUENCES , i of his act, and that he trusted that by. the change and whirl about tn political ‘affairs Mwhich the denth of Gartield would cause ho Would be taken care of, and would suifer but vory Ittle for what: he had-done, -At one thine during the day Guiteau burst, out in an entirely Itreleyant manner in a statement thatho had asked @ favor of President Arthur, although he was, the —ipan, through the Dolty, who had made hu Pres- Ment of the Untted States, ‘The counsel for the prosecution wore very quick in putting thelr heads togethor''as’ this statement was unde, as there seetued evidently n sense of deapondoney in Gultean’s mind that Arthur had taken absolutely.no notice of hin or his act except-to accure the ‘appolutment of Judge Porter to usalst tn the presceution, ..
