POLICE RAID ON BAKERS’ WAGONS—FINES IM- POSED. The lieutenants of the several police precincts gaye instructions to their officers who went on duty at 12 o'clock last night, to overhaut all the bakers’ wazons this morning and weigh their oks, some of the policemen say, as if some one had “given the thing away,” as the Bumber of persons taken in was not near so large a was anticipated. The wagons of Paul Burke. John Ockershausen and Justin Kaiser were found to contain loaves below the staud- ard weicht. The court did not fine them for Toaves that were only one ounce short. Several loaves were shown to be 2 and 254 ounces too light. Justin Kaiser was put on trial first, and five loaves were shown to the court that were below the standard. Mr. S. C. Mills appeared for defendant and asked the court to dismiss the case, on the ground that it was not proven that his client offered any of this bread for sale. The court ruled that having the bread in his ‘Wagon was proof enouzh that he had it for sale, and the law would not recognize any scheme by which the poor could be cheated: the rich could take care of themselves, and he would impose a fine of $2 per loaf, making $10. Mr. Kaiser was fined $2 for each of 9 light loaves, making #18. John Ockershausen was charged with having 30 loaves that were below the standard weigit, and Mr. Mills also appeared for him and undertook to show that the bread lost the weight since it was baked. The court remarked that he has had the bread question before him often, and examined it in ail its @eiails, and heard a great deal of expert tes- timony in the cases, and it was a well-known faet that bread should be made heavy enough at the baking to insure the full weight to cus- tomers. A fine of $60 was imposed for the 30 leaves in this case. An appeal was noted. Paul Burke. charged with having 18 light leaves in his wagon, forfeited $30 collateral. gottath ahs came Oriole, Baltimore, Getober 10, 11 and 12. SCHEDULE OF TRAINS ON THE B. AND 0.

STATEMENTS BY THE PRISONER. On Saturday Mr. George Scoville, the brother- in-law and counsel of Guiteau. spent some three hours at the jail in consultation with his client. Mr. Scoville says that as a result of this inter- view Mr. R. T. Merrick would be asked to enter the case: that when he suggested Col. R. G. In- gersoll the prisoner said that would not do, for the entire Christian world would be arrayed against him for having an infidel lawyer. Mr. Scoville said that he mtended to put the pris- oner op the stand at the trial as the first witness for the defence, so the court and jury could judge of his sanity or insanity. Mr. Scoville at his former visit to the jail, left several western papers with the prisoner, who thus had an op- portunity of seeing in print what is thought of him. AS a result of this knowledge he sendsout through Mr. Scoville the following: A STATEMENT. “I have been terribly vilified by the press, and it has made some people bitter and impulsive azainst D put time will righten that, I expect to issue a book shortly wherein I shall siow tnat the Pres- | ident’s wrecking the republican party last spring by the unwise use of patronage would have re- sulted in another war; and that the Lord inspired me to remove him to ‘keep the republican party intact and save the nation another heartrending a luting war. ‘The breach last spring in the republican party was widening and I foresaw a civil war. M. remove the President and close before it zot so wide that nothing but a civil war couid close it. The Divine pressure on me to re- F President was so enormous that I had to do it even if I had been shot dead the next moment, and the Lord took special pains to con- firm my ‘act by the gradual way he allowed the President to depart. This case should be judged by the condition of politics in May and June when I conceived the idea of removing the Pres- ident, and not by the fecling now. ‘The Presi- dent’s removal has saved the nation another war. and the people will recognize this fact as soon as they recover their heads. CHARLES GUITEAU. This is dated at the jail October 6th. GUITEAU'S DEFENCE OF HIS CRIME. p Guiteau’s attention was called to some letters which were left with the news agent at the depot a few minutes before the shooting and afterwards taken possession of by the United States District Attorney. One of these papers purported to be an address to the American people and got into the newspapers, though not inacomplete form. Guiteau dictated as cor- rect the following: “WASHINGTON, June 16, 1881. “To the American People: “I conceived the idea of removing the Presi- dent about four weeks ago. I conceived the idea inyself and kept it to myself. Not a soul in the iverse Knew of my purpose to remove the President: It was my own conception and exe- cution, I read the papers carefully for and the administration, and dually. the ‘tion settled on me that the President's re- | was a political necessity, because he proved a traitor to the men that made him, and thereby imperited the republic. At the last pres- idential election the republican party carried every northern state. To-day, owing to the mis- conduct of the President and his Secretary of State, they could hardly carry one. ‘They cer- tainly could not carry’ New York, which is the ivotal state. Ingratitude is the basest of crimes. Tat the President, under the manipulations of his Secretary of te, has been guilty of the basest ingratitude to the stalwarts admits of no denial. The express purpose of the President as been to crush Gen. Grant and Senator Conk- ling, and thereby prepare the way for hisrenom- ination in 1884. the President's madness he has wrecked the once grand old republican party, and for this he dies. The men that saved the republic must. Esovern it and not the men who sought its life. have no ill-will toward the President. This is not murder; it is a political necessity. It will make my friend Arthur Presi- dent and save the republic. Grant during the war sacrificed thousands of lives to save the re- ublic. I have sacrificea cay one, Ishot the ident as I would a rebel it I saw him pulling down the American flag. Tleave my justifica- tion to God and the American people. CHARLES GUITEAU.” To which are made the following additions: “WASHINGTON, D. C., June 18, 1881. “I intended to remove the President this morn- ing,and wentto the Baltimore depot, but he came into the depot with Mrs. Garfield leaning on his arm, and I concluded toremove him when he was alone. It will be no worse for Mrs. Gar- field, dear soul, to part from her husband in this way than by natural death. He is liable to go at any time, anyway. CHARLES GUITEAU.” “WASHINGTON, D. C., June 20, 1881. “The President's nomination was an act of God. The President's election was an act of God. The President's removal is an act of God. Lam clear in my pur to remove the President. Two objects wiil be accomplished: It will unite the republican party and save the republic, and it will create a great demand for my book, “The ‘Truth,’ This book was written to save souls and not for money, and the Lord wants to save souls by circulating the book. CHARLES GUITEAU.” HOW THE PRISONER SPENT SUNDAY. Yesterday, the prisoner was quiet during the morning, occupying his time with his books; but as the day wore on he became ill at ease. Dur- ing the afternoon a visitor, standing near the gate to the south wing, in hearing of the pris- oner, remarked, ‘This is the first time in all my life Ihave ever heard of a prisoner for whom some one did not have some little sympathy.” This affected the prisones, and he took it asa direct insult. Afterward he informed one of the guards that it would be reported to the courts. He positively declined after this to expose him- self either at the gate or the window, so that persons in the rotunda could not see him. Some friends of the officials happened to visit the jail after this. They were men of fine physique, each of them being about six feet in height. They were shown throuzh. Passing into the corridor on which Guiteau’s cell is located with regular step, the prisoner was discovered tying his shoe, but hardly had the fourth one of the crowd appeared before Guiteau made a jump for the only safe portion of the celi—the corner at the right of the door. ‘There he stood trembling until some time after the party retired from this wing. ee CLosING SESSIONS OF THE MARYLAND Synop.

TOWSON, 636 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE, The Christiancy Divorce Case. BER STORY OF HER HUSBAND'S CRUELTY. Saturday afternoon there was an examination in the Christiancy divorce case at the office of Messrs. Cook and Cole. Mrs. Christiancy was on the stand in her own behalf for three hours. Her testimony was copfined to acts of cruelty charged in her cross-bill, she being an incompe- tent witness as to the charges of adultery made against her. Senator Christiancy was present with his counsel. Mrs. Christiancy testified that while residing in Lansing, Mich., in March, 1877, her husband struck her and knocked her down. During the Christmas holidays in 1878, while residing in this city, he struck her and knocked her down, and during the night would not ay mit her to haye any clothing on the . although the weatler was extremely cold. In Peru, in August, 1879, while living at the lega- tion, he struck her several times. and on one oc- casion pushed her out of the house and shut the door against her. Afterward she returned with her husband's son, and he struck her again and shut both hersei? and his son out doors. He then called for his son to come back. and told | him that if he went away with witness it must | be forever. The son answered that it would be | forever, and he kept on and escorted her to the hotel, where she remained over night. The next day her husband sent for her to come back, | the messenger saying that he was very siek, de- K. | lirious and in almost a dying condition. ‘She went back to the legation and, instead of being sick as-staied, she found him guietly sitting in the sitting room, in his right mind. He became very kind to her, and remained so until the next Monday. Then he came to her bed, abused her, pinched her and used all sorts of violence. One month later, at the legation, he assaulted her while dressing. As he was striking her a gentleman stopping in the house over night stepped into the room and came to her protec- tion. After that she refused to live with him longer, and a few days later left Peru for home. eee DreEns 1x Fee have been recorded as follows: Elizabeth A.
