POSTMASTER GENERAL JAMES’ RESIGNATION.—A friend of Postinaster General James said to-day that the report by telegraph from New York, that Gen. James had tendered his resignation, to take effect on January ist next, is not true. The Union Depot. RAILROAD ROUTES THROUGH THE CITY. An act was passed by Congress at the last ses- sion authorizing the District Commissioners to recommend a suitable site for an union railway depot in this city, or, if in their judgment they Shall think ft better to have two depots, one in the northern part of the city and the other in the southern, to select the sites and make a report ac- companied by platson the first Monday in Decem- ber, and a bill containing such other suggestions as inay occur to them. Tn accordance with this act Major Twining has prepared a report in which he says, after referring to the inconvenience caused in favor of a common central station being estab- lished at the nearest practical point to the business, interests of the city, that thls depot should be reached by lines either above or below the estab- Mshed grades of the several streets to be occupied or crossed, and that the passage of the Potomac river southward should be made possible to all upon reasonable conditions He recommends, The proper point, in hig estimation, for the river to be crossed is at the foot of Maryland avenue and he urges the removal of the present Long bridge. ‘The site selected should be some point West of 6th street and south of C street southwes' and after giving his reasons pro and con on seve! different routes, the Commissioner says: “I there- fore recommend that a point at or near the inter- section of Maryland and Virginia avenues be selected as a place for the union depot.” The cost to the Baltimore and Potomac railroad is esti- mated to be $105,393.95; to the Baltimore and Ohio Tallroad, $959,878.60; total for combined roads west of New Jersey avenue, $1,000,551.54. With the re- port is transmitted a draft ofa bill and several Plans and sections. ‘The Commissioners sent the report of Major Twining to Congress to-day, accompanied by the following letter: OFFICE OF THE COMMISSIONERS . DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, Wasuineron, December 5, 1881. Davis, President Pro Tempore U.S. Sin—The Commissioners have the honor, in obe- dience to the requirements of the act of Congress entitled “An act to authorize the Commissioners of the District of Columbla to recommend a proper site for a union railroad depot in the city of Wash- ington, and for other purposes,” approved Febru- ary 23, 1881, to transmit herewith to Congress the Teport in detail of the Engineer Com isstoner of the District on this important subject. ‘Thisreport 1s accompanied by a bill deemed suitable to carry into effect the plans and recommendations of the engineer, and both are based on the assumption that the tracks of the Baltimore and Potomac rafl- road ure to retain, as at present, on Virginia and Maryland avenues, and that the allroad crossing of the Potomac river is to be, asat present, on what fs known as the Long bridge. Should Con- Press conclude to make these avenues and this ridge the permanent line of railroad communtca~ tion, connecting the northern and southern routes, it is belleved that no better solution of the problem presented can be offered. But while the Commis- sioners are of opinion that the public interests will be best promoted by a common station for the sev- eral roads that enter or may enter the District, and by the location of this station as nearly as can conveniently be done to the river front, and to the center of population and business in the District, a majority of them are inclined to prefer a more southern line than the one indicated. ‘The tracks of the Baltimore and Potomac road now emerge from the tunnel on K street south, and that street, in connection with Water street, offers a feasible direct, and economical route to’ the north end of the Long bridge. where a common and conventent passenger station could be located, and ample and sultable sites for frejgit depots abound tn the im- mediate vicinity, and in convenlent proximity to the wharves of the city. [ Moreover, should any of the roads, destre in the future to cross the river at some other point above the Long bridge, and even above Georgetown, the same line extended along or near the water front would place within their reach all available cross- ing ‘nis line, also, while it would interfere but little with the Interests of property, would bring the railroad trafic into more immedinte contact with the river traffic, and would relieve the important avenues, above referred to, of an incumbrance which virtually destroy the value of the property abutting thereon for all other uses, and most in- Juriously affects the general interests of that por+ Uon of the city which they traverse. _ Should this line be preferred by C the two roads would unite at the intersection of the James Creek canal and K street south, by a de- flection of the pro Ine of the Baltimore and Ohio road from New Jersey avenue by way of Canal street. By order of the board. Very trull oe ee J.

The high-toned, decent partof the American people are settling THE TRIAL OF GUITEAU. —— DR. SPITZKA CROSS-EXAMINED. ———_ THE PRISONER'S DREAM OF GRANDEUR. a=: ae . AN EXPERT AGAINST GUITEAU. ——————— When the juryin the @viteau case came into court this morning Juror Wormley was observed still to wear a bandage hishead. When the court opened—which it aid promptly at ten o’clock—and the prisoner ha@ been brought in, Dr. E. C. Spitzka took the stand, and District At- Yorney Corkhill continued Big eross-examination. The witness said the appearance of the prisoner’s eyes was a most conclusive-eridence, to him, of insanity. The request made teshe witness by Dr. MacDonald, to apply for @ position at Ward’s Island asylum, was made in the office of the asy- lum; Dr. MacDonald desired his services as special Pathologist, to make post mortem examinations. Mr. Corkhill handed the witness a diagram of a head and asked him to explain to the jury the peculiarities of the prisoner's head, ass uming that the diagram represented the prisoner's head. GUITEAU WANTS A NEW HAT. The prisoner, looking up, grinaed and said: “A man wanted to take my head this morning, and & told him if he would get me a new hat he could have it. I suppose the government will pay for it, Corkhill,” turning to the district attorney. “I am pretty sure it won’t come out of your pocket.’? GUITEAU'SILLY-BALANCED HRAD. Dr. Spitzka having asked fora piece of paper, and, enlarging the diagram a little, explained {t to the jury, repeating that the unequality in the two sides of the head was about three times as great asnormal. The witness said he was acquainted with Dr. Kigrnan and had written for his journal. A QUESTION DR. SPITZKA WOULD NOT ANSWER. “Do you believe in God?” asked the district at- torney, suddenly. “I will not answer that question unless the court directs me to,” said the witness. “You are not obliged to answer,” said the court, GUITEAU TO MR. CORKHILL. “Do you believe in that, Corchill?” cried out the prisoner. The district attorney disdained to make a reply, when the prisoner shouted: “I have been digging up your record, Corxhill, and it stinks worse than old mackerel.” DR. SPITZKA'S RELIGIOUS BELIEF, ETC. ‘The witness being pressed again as to hisreligious belief, sald: “I think that an impertinent question to ask in this country of civil and religious liberty.” “And trreligious liberty,” added Mr. Davidge. “fdon’t think,” said Mr. Corkhill, “if you de- cline to answer that question, that I Rave any fur- ther questions to ask, sir. ‘The witness was then subjected toa redirect examination by Mr. Scoville. The witness ex- plained his connection with the Gosling case, and Said he was asked the same questions in that case in reference to the horse-doctor business at the suggestion of the same medical politician, who suggested It in this case. He was convinced the prisoner was not simulating when he examined him, and explained at len; What he meant by delusive opintons. MR, SCOVILLE'S HYPOTHETICAL CASE Mr. Scoville propounded a hypothetical case, embracing the facts, as alleged by the defence, touching the various cases of insanity in the family. ‘The witness said he would say the family was strongly wrenched with the taint of insanity. He thought many things mentioned in Mr. Sco- ville’s hypothetical question were irrelevant. For instance. he thought the bellef ascribed to the el judgment. Speaking‘of thereeman case at Po- Mass., the witness said that the only mani- ition of insanity there wa¥a belief ina com- mand from on high to commit the act; the case was analogous in no other respect to Guiteau. < GUITEAU’S DREAM. Referring to his interview with Guiteau tn jail, the witness said the prisoner related to him a re- markable dream, which he (the witness) consid- ered consistent with the other features of the case. He hagedlreamed that he was at the White House, holding a large reception. “It was about a week ago,” interrupted the prisoner. “It kept me awake nearly all night, too. I thought it was an immense affair.” Mr. Scoville asked the witness what Guiteau had said about the witness Shaw. - This was ruled out. Mr. Scoville said: Well, never min3; we'll have the evidence on that point.” GUITEAU ATTACKING THE CHARACTER OF WITNEASES. ‘The prisoner broke out and said, “ We have got information that Mr. Shaw has been convicted almost of perjury In New Jeraey;Barely escaping on a technical quibble, and the judge on the bench told him that he ought to be in the penitentiary. ‘That’s your man, Corkhill. We bave learned also that English was convicted of bastardy in Ireland. we have got his record. That’s another man of yours, Corknhill.” Mr. Corkhill then asked the witness regarding various publications he had made concerning this case. CEANK GUITEAU ON “CRANK TALMAGE.” During a lull in the examination Gutteau, who had been looking over a newspaper, spoke up and said: “I see this crank Talmage, of the Brooklyn tabernacle, has been getting off some of his ideas about this case. I believe he is the man who has ‘been before the synod for lying. I also believe he is the man who is a sort of tender for a house of prostitution in New York, and went over Europe in that case. TI have got my eye on two or three -Y don’t look out, will give dor ut there are a few cranks who persist in talking about it.” DR. SPITZKA’S PUBLISHED OPINIONS OF THE TRIAL, ETC. * ‘Mr. Corkhill went over an article partly written by the witness, in whieh he criticised the trial and the prevailing expert system. The witness sald he Still had the same notions. The defect in the sys- tem, he said, was the habit of calling witnesses for a side and not by the court. SEVERE ON THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY. ‘The article was very severe on District Attorney Corkhill. The prisoner seconded it by calling out: “It’s the unanimous opinion of the American people that you are a consummate jackass. You had better get off this case and go out west and go digging.” ‘The witness said that the manner of inve t- ing the cases involuntarily leads to the employ- ment of men who favor the lawyer's side of the case, and, added the witness, “As there are cor- Tupt men in our profession, you can get such men to sell their convictions if the United States Treas- ury is behind them.” here was a manifestation of applause when the witness finished, but the court checked it and threatened to clear the court room if it were re- ated. Pair. Corkhil having asked the witness if he meant to say that the experts summoned there intended to perjure themselves, the court said that question was inadmissible. After a warm debate between counsel, Guiteau, referring to the witns Said: “He comes here as one of the most sclentifie men in America to tell the truth.” DR. SPITZKA’S OPINION OF OTHER EXPERTS. Being pressed as to his opinion of the experts, the witness said boldly: “The expert who would pronounce this man sane is either not an expert or not an honest one.” Guiteau sald: “I want them to be just as able and just as honest as he is. I want a square deal- ing all around.” DR. FORDYCE BARKER ON THE INBANITY QUESTION, When the witness was excused from the stand dulteau, that he would live forever, was not | an insane belief, but simply indtecated weakness of | at length by Judg Harities and causes of there was no such disease as re Was undoubtediy hereditary sanity; some were born with a:nervous tion that rendered them Habie:-to become i the fact that a man’s mother went insane Wickedness. The habit of boasting of intimacy with people of high position, when the en insane jon, because insanity was a and this delusion was the result of vices, self- conceit, &c.; he did not think the assertion of the Pitsoner that he had a divine commission would Prove insanity. If the act was inconsistent and contrary to the previous habit and character of the Ifidividual, it would be a strong presumptive evidence of insanity. ‘The witness having given a case as an Silustra- Uon, where a man who had always been u) ht and of exemplary conduct, and then suddenly slew his daughter, aS he complained, by divine com- mand, the prisoner cried out: “That's my case, ex- actly. I have always been a Christian man.” ‘The prisoner gave a catalogue of his virtues, saying: “I don’t smoke, or chew, or drink, or run wit lewd characters of any kind. I have always been a Christian man.” GUIFEAU SAYS IT WAS NOT “IMPULSE,” BUT “ PRES SURE” HE HAD TO REMOVE THE PRESIDENT. The witness said that uncontrollable impulse by itself did not constitute a form of insanity by itself. Itwasa symptom. Some of the facts of Gulteau’s crime, as claimed by the prosecution, having been submitted to the witness, in a hypo- thetical form, he replied that it did not indicate an uncontrollable impulse. “Judge, if you please,” said the prisoner, “I ob- ect to the word Impulse. It was & pressure.” ning to the witness, the prisoner sald: “Doc- tor, there was an irresistible pressure, not im- pulse, but a pressure grinding, grinding, grindl on me all the time, to remove the President. Wit that statement I Would like to hear the doctor's answer.” n other hypothetical, questions, The witness, w said the facts indicated the use of reason. GUITEAU’S SHARPNESS AND PROMPTNESS. Judge Porter having incluaed evidence of per- sonal motive in his. question the prisoner called out: “Well, I deny any personal motives.” Being on the subject of the “border-line of in- sanity,” Judge Porter asked if the popular term “crank” did not express what was meant by the border-line of insanity. “My acquaintance with the term,” replied the Witness, “has been quite recent, and tt isnot yet one of the phrases of the sclence of Insanity.” Dr. Barker was cross-examined for some time by Mr. Scoville. ‘The witness said that where a mother, Just before a child was born, Was attacked with brain fever or severe neuralgi¢ pains in the head, the fact might affect the mental condition of the child, though that would not necessarily fol- ow. When Mr. Scoville had fintshed, the court asked the witness a few questions, in reply to which he said that insane delusions relate to a great variety of subjects. An insane delusion was never the result of a process of reasoning. When Judge Cox had concluded, THE PRISONER SPOKE UP. “Doctor,” he sald, “where aman does an illegal act under the influence of a pressure, which he could not resist, ts that sanity or insanity?” “It that fact ts proved,” replied the witness, “It is insanity.” “That’s my case sir, exactly,” declared the pris- oner, who looked up’ at the clock, picked up his handcuffs and made an impatient motion as it he desired the court to take a recess. GUITEAU CAUTIONS HIS SISTER TO KEEP QUIET. In reply to Mr. Scoville the witness sald insane people might be very wicked. ‘Mrs. Scoville here rose in her seat and sald: “I should like to ask if a person can be born insane?” “You are not an attorney in this case,” shouted Guiteau, “and you had better keep quiet.” ‘The doctor replied to Mrs. Scoville that that would be imbecility, and not insanity; 1t could be developed into insanity. ‘At 12:25 the court took a recess until 1 o'clock. THE AFTERNOON BESSIO: When the court re-assembled at 1 o'clock, L. Spencer Goble, of Newark, N.J., doing business in New York as state agentof the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company of New York, wes called and sworn. He testified that he met Guiteau in 1880, when he came to witness’ office to get em- ployment. He brought in one application and wit- hess advanced him $5 on the commission; the prisoner showed him his printed specch and told Witness that he was to have the Austrian mission; witness advanced him another §5; the policy on Hteaw's application had never béen taken; the witness sill he had afterwards received a letter marked “Confidential,” In which the prisoner said he expected to get the Austrian mission at a salary Of $12,000 a year, and asked for a loan of $200. : is objected to Mr. Goble’s testi mony, and noted exceptions from time to time, the risoner sii want to say that I owe this gen- . I left with him two polictes, which, if ere collected, would probably liquidate the debt. Lobject to this kind of evidence, and I ask your honor's ruling on that.” “The witness shall go on,” sald the court. “The reporter will note an exception,” said the prisoner. The witness said he never saw anything in Gul- | teat which, in his mind, indicated unsoundness of mind. ‘W. P. COPELAND ON THE STAND. Willtam P. Copeland, journalist, of this city,was called to the stand. He was asked to identify the various newspaper clippings taken from the pris- oner. “T can settle that matter easily, Colonel,” said the prisoner, holding up a newspaper. “I have a copy of the Brooklyn Eagle, which I will leave with the jury.” No, you needn't,” satd tne district attorney. - “You ain’ta lawyer, Copeland,” said the pris- oner. “The witness then identified several of the news- paper slips as having been taken from the Wash- ington Stak, Brooklyn Kagle, Philadelphia Times, New York’ Commercial Advertiser and other apers. PeBuring the examination the prisoner talked con- siderably, declaring thit last spring the whole American press was denouncing Garfield, and that if it had not been for the political situation the President would not have been removed. A BROOKLYN LAWYER WHO LENT GUITBAU MONEY. Herbert C. Ketcham, lawyer, of Brooklyn, N. ¥., was next examined. He testified to his acquaint. ance with the prisoner in 1872 or 1878; the prisoner had borrowed money from witness, “Tam sorry to differ with you, sir,” sald the prisoner, “ but you were not in the money busi hess at that ine-a poor clerk in alaw office. I igger men than yo end, to ay it T wanted money.” >? ™Y Send, vo apply to, A “HIGH-TONED LAWYER.” ‘The witness having said he thought the prisoner did not have much sense, the prisoner said: “J didn’t like Ketcham at that time, and did not speak to him for months. He was nothing but a clerk in the office. I was supposed to be a high- toned lawyer.” The prisoner protested boisterously against this testimony. ; “Your conclusion was,” said Mr. Sgoville to the witpess, “ that he was not very smart?” «Yes, sir,” replied the witness. “ That’s your conclusion, ain’t it, Scoville?” said the prisoner. “You are getting badly cranked yourself on this business, “You are getting worse than Corkhill.” A PHILADELPHIA WITNESS, Henry Wood, railway manager, of Philadelphia, ‘was next put on the stand, and testified to meet- ing Guitean in Philadelphia before his separation with his wife. While the witness was testifying, Guiteau said: “ He’s a man that knew my wife in Philadelphia long before I did. You can draw your own inference.” The witness went to New York to see Guiteau in Teference to the troubles between him and his wife; Guiteau said his wife was a good woman. I’ believed at that time she was,” said the prisoner, “but we have got the record now show. ing that she 1s not much better than a street woman. We've got the proof of it, too, I want ‘her to come on the stand.’ ‘The witness saw nothing in Guiteau that led him to think he was insane. ‘A NEW YORK BROKER. Simon D. Phelps, broker, of New York, was next called. The prisoner had made a false statement to him; ‘the prisoner confessed 1% aR i .” shout prisoner, pit ae sees een ee it he’s rut 3 yo.be (0 lawyegne broker in New York. “I know : ADJOURNED. 8 o'clock, adjourned, ‘The court, at Charles Foster, of 01 present ‘and sat with J red = hig tng Beg res 9 Vernon R.
