To-day every one w rier than usual. Judge Porter arrived a quarter of an hour Derore the court opened. He earricd a lange portfolio under his arm. Register Bruce sat among the experts. AN INTRUDER BOUNCED. An interesting incident that happened a little before the court opened was the collaring and for- ral by Deputy Williams, of a spruce Man Who had reached and secured a defence table on false pr yas it dd. He said that he had been ested utoattend. As there seemed ti be no nfor the statement, he was unceremo- niously removed.

Even the judge was earlier than usual thismora- ing, and the court was called to order at 10:05, The prisoner was brought ina few minutes later and placed immediately in the box. He turned his attention at onc hand, but w: PIRATION. a young gent ne art opened, nee of order ice Porter, to say to you and to this, that I "decline to answer any twill be a repeti thing ‘T aid. If you have cot anything new on this ect T will answer, otherwise I won'unless Une court directs it.” Cross-examination Resumed. Mr. Porter asked if his purpose in removing the President was to get a sale for his book. The prisoner answered indirectly that it was to preach the gospel. Being compelled by the court to answer the question directly hesald: “Yes, sir: with a modification, as I previousiy st preach the gospel as set forth In that book. GUITEAU CLAIMS THAT HIS WRIT ARE SPIRED—“THE BIBLE BROUGHT DOWN TO THE PRESENT TIME.” Being asked if he considered his writings asthe gospel and Inspired, he sald: “It 1s a collateral and parallel nspirxtion to the Saviour. Twill say that the book is the Bible brought down to the present time,—with all due respect to the Biblical writers. It came from the same Deity that inspire them.” Mr. Porter referred to the Napoleonic ring of ns. 3 his book had lots same style.

Being questioned as to whether he did not be- lieve himself a man of destiny lke Napoleon, the prisoner sald: “I want to say I claim that lam a man of destiny. As much as the Saviour or Paul or Martin Luther or any of those kind of men.” “Was your destiny to remove the President?” “My destiny was to execute the Divine will.” THE PRISONER WORRIED—A QUESTION WHICH WAS NOT ANSWERRED. “When were you first inspired” “T decline to discuss this question with you any further.” Being questioned further, he sald: “T won't be annoyed this way any longer.

Mr. Porte dif it was not a failure, a ques- tion Which stuck the prisoner. U's LETTER TO THE ONEIDA COMMUNITY. ‘The district attorney here gave Mr. Porter some papers. One of these—a letter—was handed to the prisoner for fdentification. Atter perusing it he sald: “This {s my letter, sir; and I will read it Mr. Porter objected to It at first, but tae pris- soner. “This was written,” he sald. “about the time 1 left the Community, in April, 1865, but 1t Is not dated.” ‘The prisoner then read the letter, which Was as follows: “To the Communi “Lam about to leave you.

God and my own con- science drive me to the battle, and I dare not draw back. I now see very clearly why I was, nearly five years ago,driven tito this Community and run through a most crucifying experience.

I wish the Community would avold all unnecessary talk about this move- ment, and let me withdraw as quictly as possible. If the Community would make me free to visit them whenever it may be expedient for both par- ties I should deem it a great favor. Should our folks choose to visit me they would be heartily wel- come. Adieu. Cuantes J. GUITEAU.” “Thave not seen this letter since then,” sald the prisoner when he concluded, A Holl of Musty Manuscript. Mr. Porter then handed up a large roll of musty manuscript and asked the prisoner to identify it. ‘The prisoner grinned as he turned over the pages. “My name Is signed to it,” he sald. “Iam not prepared to swear that this 1s my handwriting. It may dea forgery. It doesn’t look like my hand- writing now.’ ‘The prisoner was allowed permisssion to look over the paper, and when he had glanced over it sald he would read it aloud. Mr. Porter objected. “T wouldn't trust you to read {t,” said Guiteau. “The document looks as though ft had been mutl- lated,” mused the prisoner. “'The head of 1t has been cut off.” “That's not the question,” satd Mr. Scoville. « Well, it is a very important question,” said the risoner, “if they have mutilated this paper and Eien waht to put it in as evidence.” Mr. Scoville sald that he would like to look the ol over before it hdc! read aloud; 80 it was nded to him for perusal “It is full of theocratic ideas and inspirations and sounds, just as I used to talk at that titne,” said the prisoner, as he surrendered the paper. ‘he manuscript was a long statement a hoses and reasons for establishing a theocratic” ally. Mz. Scoville consented to have the paper sub- mitted in evidence. Mr. Porter said he would not read it all now. THE PRISONER'S PRIDE IN THE PAPER. ‘The prisoner said, “I want tt to go to the jury.
