The prisoner called upon him (witness) at his office In Chicago, and, showing hin somenewspaper slips, sald he was about to purchuse the Snter-Ocean, and told witness that If he'would loan him $200,000 he woultl make him (witness) Pres- {tent of the United States, Gititeau (emphatically): “That isfalse.

Witness never thought the prisoner ¢ sane man. Upon cross-exnmiiiation, witness was asked if, in the conyersations mentioned, he had any opportunity to fornt an opinion whether the prisoner was able to distinguish between right and wrons. Svoville objected tothe question and argued at creat fength in support of his objection. Guitean continually broke {n and Inslsted the question had no bearing on the ease; that His mind all through was blank on the ques- thon of rightand wrong; that he was limpelied by an inspiration while he could not resist. Judge Cox ruled that the question could bo entertained, and ft was again put. Witness thought there were grades of In- sanity, and 3 DUD NOT THINK THE PRISONER 50 INSANE but that he could distinguish between right and wrong. Scoville desired to note the exception, Gulteau agnin broke In exeitediy; “ Twant this understood right here.
