It fs reported that it has been learned: slnco the trial began that three of thein have jusanity In thelr families, and that tho futher of one of them recently died insane, But if the jury are affected like ordinary men, even if they have enters talned the bellef that Guiteau was insane, thelr opinion must have rapidly changed.

THES TRIAL. PROCEEDINGS, Wasnrxeaton, D. U,, Dee, &.—The Criminal Court opened promptly at 11 o'clock, and Dr, McArthur again took the stand, Gultenu shouted outs“ Your Honor.” Scoville—Keep still, please, $ Guitenu—Well, then, you state it at once; if you don't I will. Seoville then addrossed the Court, and ob- Jected to the character of the evidence which had been given by tho witness, on the ground that evidence as. to any other crimes could not be Introduced when tho prisoner ts on trial for this particular offense. Hoa desired all such evidence to be stricken out. Gultean here broke fn exeltedly, and shouted out: “Itls purely in the nature of aconfesslonal, MANRTHUR 14 NOT AN EXPERT On A TAW- Ry and Lobfect to his telling the Jury and tho Amerlenn people facts whieh L told him years figo In regard to my history.” "Yhe Court ruled that the evidence could be adinitted, as tending to show the general character of the prisoner, e Corkhill-Didt you ever seo anything In tho prisoner to Indicate insanity ?

Gulteau here broke Into one of bls noisy harangs, aud, despite the caution of the Court and expostulations of the counsel, pro- eeuded to express his opinton of Dr. MeAr- thur in terms not at all delicate, Larning to the reporters’ table he declauined for some ininutes against the “scandalous reports” of his character, and, singling out the reporter of the Republiccn, SNOOK $15 MIST AT HIM THREATENINGLY, Co).

Le seemed to-have a deat of lection business, and went Jn and out ike any business man. Guiteau continually in- terrupted, oud finally the witness said to lm: “It seems that your close relations with the Deity of Jato: haye corrupted your manners.” 2 3 ‘Tho prisoner laughed heartily at tlle sally, and ssid: “ Woll, that aln’t so bad, Plum- mer, for a Western man? * Did you over ses anything In his conduct that Indicated wnsoundness of mint?” | “No, alt” replied the witness; “nothing whatever. Ilo seemed to bea man of ability, vain and conceited; but then ho had ‘late from New York Clty? on hiseard, and we expected the rest.” This conyulsed the court. : STEPHEN ENGLISH, editor and proprietor of the Insurance linea, of New York, took the stand. Guiteau catled out: “This man was in Ludlow Street Jail, and 1 got him out for $300.1" ; : ‘The witness then gave circumstances un- der which he beenme acauainted with the prisoner, ‘Che witness was in fail under $10,000 bonds, charged with libel. Lhe pris- oner ucted ag his attorney, Gulteau frequently and nolstly interrupted the witness, calling hima liar and perjurer, Atone thne he shouted: “There isn’t an in surance man in New York that doesn’t know whut a fraud you are.” ‘rho witness continued : * The prisoner swin- dicd me out of $300, and algo swindied many poor creatures in Jull by promising to help thom, getting their mouvy, und then nover ralsing a finger in thelr behalf? Guitenu shouted at the witness: “Why, I wouldn't spit on you In the street, you old sconndrel., Vil got sone instirance men to show you up. You are Jying all the way through, you old fraud.” The witness was asked if ho ever detected any signs of insanity in the prisoner, and re- piled On the contrary, he was wremarkie biycloar-headed, shrewd lawyer;. he con- pletely outwitted me,” WARREN G.

The horror and dismay occasioned by the nssasination prevented any attention from belng pald to the perpetrater, and it was not until he was raised from the fluor that a per son oxclaimed, ‘Where ts the rascal that fired 2” when # person of the namo of Bil- Ungham, who had been unobserved, stepped up to him and coolly repliegl: “fam the un- fortunate man.” He did. not.make any at- tempt to eseape, though he had thrown away the pistol by which he had perpetrated tha deed, but resigned himself quietly into the hands of some of the bystanders, Thicy placed him upon a bench near the fireplace, where they detained hin, When he was In- terrogated us to his motive for the deed, ho replied: "My name is Bellingham; it isa private injury; L know what [ havo done; ft was u dental of justice on the part of Gov- ernment”? NOW TURN TO GUITEAU’S CASE. He makes elaborate preparations for escape —arranges with the liackman to drive hint to the neighborhood of tho fall and writes a let- ter to Gen, Sherman asking him to call out the troops to protect him, He was conscious that he was about to commit a crime deserv- ing death, and he was afraid hoe would moet death at the hands of a mob; as svon as captured he exlilbited the most craven fear. What was his inotive for the crime? Gar. field bad not injured him, Revenge did not prompt tim, Ifedid not cluim any denial eof justice, Tits declaration nfter firing 1s re- imarkable, “Lo am a Stalwart, Arthur will now be President!" After being put In fall and having thne to reflect, he gives ont that his motive was to harmonize the Republican barty, A case of pure disinterested benuvo- ence, Bellingham maintained the utmost com- posure, Ho said he had for more than a fortnight watched for a favorable uppor- tunity of effecting his purpose; that he had iinplored for {istics in vain: that he hud made application to every person likely ta procure jim redress; and that he had at length been driven to despair by being told ut the public offices that he might do his worst; "1 have obcycd them,” said he, “FT have, done my worst, and I rejoice in my ‘After the deed Bellingham was filled with that calmness and serenity which comes te a man after a great burden Is lifted from his mind. He thought he had done his duty. Guiteau possessed none of this composure after his crime. For weeks he was filled with THE MOST ATIECT FEAL, He had the same fear that every sane man hag who commitsacowardly murder, ‘There are forms of insanity In which persons may haye un abnormal dread of persons or Litas but it is’ very rarely seen as the result o! erline. Bellinghamthought he had 9 claim against the English Government which originated In services alleged to bave been performed by Itim in Russia, If Guiteau on shooting Garfield had sald: “Che Government owed ine an oflice. T ap- plied for the Paris Consulship, and could not obtain it, 1 way unceremoniously ordered from the White House, and therefore { killed Garfield,” no person would have ever dreained of ils being insane. He was far tuo shrewd to say any such thing. Ile took advantage of the disorder in the political situation occasioned by the resignation of Conkling and Platt, and gave out that the Deity had inspired hin to remove Garfield, iu order that harmony might be restored to the Republican party. ‘This sounds more like jusauity, and Guiteau knew how it would sound, Tie says he saw that Garfield had sold himself body and soul to Blaine, Tf this were true, then Binine was the author of all the supposed alsere that was to come upon the country, Way did not the Deity dnspire lim ta kill Blane? Blaine had denied hilm the Paris Consulship and other oftice Blane had driven htue ont of the State Department. Ile didnot kill Blaine becuuse he did not think be owed hint anything, THE RATTLE-HEADED KGOTIST thought he hud helped to elect Gartield, and that Gartletd owed him an oflice, It is sure- ly not evidence of insanity that he thought he had helped to elect tho Inte President. If it be go there are many insane people bn the country who pass for well-balanced per- sons. Itis not evidence of insanity that he thought himself competent tor the Paris Consulship. There are many men in this Nation who imagine themselves capable of the Presidency who would not make tolera- ble Justices of the Peace, and yet they are of sound mind, But let us return to Bellingham.
