HIS USUAL ANTICS IN COURT. ee When the court opened at ten ovlock this morn- Ing there was a large crowd in attendance. Among the conspicuous figures in court was thatof Mr- Henry Watterson, who, with some ladies, occupied seats near District Attoraey Corkhili’s desk. Judge Dady, of Oregon, and Judge Dennison sat on the bench with Judge Cox. Representatives Morrison, of Mlmois, and Bayne, of Pennsylvania, sat in “Congressional Row.” GUITEAU’S OPEN ING JEER AT THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY: There being a long “wait” after the court opened: owlag to the non-arrival of the district attorney, Gutteau spoke wp and said: “I understand General A few minutes later, however, the district at- torney entered the room and appeared to be in robust health. He announced that he d d to interrupt the examination of Gen. Reynolds: in order to prove Mrs. Dunmilre’s divorce. THE YROOF OF MRS. DUNMIRE'S DIVORCE FROM GUITEAU, George. P. Barnard, deputy clerk of the supreme court of King’s county, New York, was then called to the stand. He produced the original record of the divorce. The witness suid he had been sum- moned by telegram to bring the papers in the di- Vorce case. The supreme courtof the county, on that telegram, directed him to Dring the papers to Washington, ar Scoville spent some time reading the docu- ments, Mr. Scoville objected to the introduction of the paper, as it Was not such’ a transeript of a legal Tecord as the law of Congress contemplated. ‘The court ruled that, being the original decree of the court, there was no question as to its ad- missibiiity. THE RECORD OF DIVORCE. The district attorney read the papers, which | were in the usual form, the petition for divorce bearing date in December, 183, and the decree of divorce April, 1874. The complaint was that of adultery committed at divers Umes with a woman | Damed Clara Jennings. GUITEAU SAYS HE IS A MARBIAGEABLE MAN, NOT- WITHSTANDING THE DECREB. ‘When the district attorney read the clause in the decree forbidding the deiendant to marry again until the plaintiff should beactually dead, Guiteau interrupted him and said: “Tan marry outside of the state of New York any time.” When the district attorney had finished the reading, Guiteau said: “This woman Jennings 1s a high-toned woman in New York. It was a matter of money between us. I committed the act of adwltery to get rid of my wife, whom I did not love. I thought it was a great deal more moral and religious, to do that Unan to live along year after year and have chil- | dren by her. So it was @ mhatter of conscience that I committed adultery. [have been virtuous for 6 or 7 years, and ain aChristian man.” lie paused a moment and then added: “1 anywhere outside of the stateof New Yor! Inatter of fact, under the newdaw in New York any man who has been virtuous fer five years before applying can go there and get the decree moiified so that he can marry. I vould go tacre and get inarried to-morrow, if I wanted to.” GENERAL REYNOLDS CHOSS-EXAMINED. General Joseph 8. Reynolds was then put upon the stand, and his crossexamination was con- tinued by Mr. Scoville, The prisoner, breaking out sgatn, said, referring to the district attorney, “The whole disability is on him, and the Lord Almighty will get even with him, too, for persecuting a‘righteous man.” Mr. Scoville put rts evidence from the witness to the prisoner, datedat Kavenswood, ii, July 25, 1881, {n which’ the Witness said: Any- thing you write me will be sacred from the public, unless it Is something you desire to reach thé public.” Mr. Bcoville asked if he considered that makin disclosures in court was the way to keep communi- cations sacred, ‘The witness said he used his own judgment about that. Upon redirect-examination the witness said his mission to the jail,so far as the public is con- cerned, was to ‘ascertain if flere Were iy acces- sories Wo Guiteau’s crine, Itwas thought at the Ume that he might have represented soine social- istic club or other organi ion. Witness became Salistied that the prisoner was alone tn his crime. The witness when he went to the jall had no idea that he would appear as a witness. “TOO THIN.” “That's too thin,” shouted the prisoner. “You went there as a special agent of the United States government, at the instance of the Attorney Gen- eral” Mr. Scoville asked the witness to read the por- tions of bis memoranda whieh he did not road yesterday, and the witness complied. Mr. Scoville asked the witness why he had made the memoranda and preserved them to this time, if he had not intended to appear as 2 witness, “So that I could present the resuits of my inter- view to the Attorney General,” replied the witne: “So that you could go op the Stand,” said the prisoner, sneeringly. ‘The witness, betore leaving the stand, presented had shown to Gui- the newspaper slips which teau in his cell. Mr. Scoville stated that he would recall the wit- ness before the day closed. Mr. Corkhill then read the newspaper slips sub- mitted by Gen.

He's a dead beat not I.” a reference to Mr. Beecher in one of Sa "There the articles, (Gulteau sald: “1 uged to be a member of Bee! church twelve ago.

Mrs. Dunmire testified briefly to her marrlage with Guiteau in Chicago in 1869, her subsequent Journey to New York, and her hfe with Gutteau there until their separation. She spoke of his being engaged in political work. He expected, as a re- Wand for this work, the appointinent to the mission to Chill.

DUNMIRE CROSS-EXAMINED, Upon cross-examination Mrs. Dunmire sald she had never stated since July 2d that she thought the prisoner insane. Mr. Scoville mentioned the names of a number ot people, and she said she had never siated such a thing to them. “Her opinion is of no value, one way or the | other,” sald the prisoner. “What does she know | of my sanity or insanity now, when she lives a way off in Leadville, Colorado.” GUITEAU CALIS MR. SCOVILLE JACKASS, As Mr. Scoville continued to ask questions in the same line, the prisoner said to him: “You are about as consummate a jackass as I know. You have'nt got as much brains as a ten-year old boy. Get off the case and I will take it myself. T could have got half a dozer first-class lawyers to take ‘this case If you hadn't, in your egotism and van- ity, shouldered them Off. “I have got todo the heavy work m: court and jury.” The prisoner th Ht of Inughter, and hid his face in his Looking up with i face red with laughing, hi delivered that lecture, Scoville, you have been a perieet fool.” ‘The witness was asked in reference to state- | ments she was represented as lvaving made in 4 terviews with newspaper reporters while cn route | to Washington. ‘<T was Interviewed several times by newspaper reporters,” she sald.

LORING TESTIFIES AS TO GUITEAU’S RYES, Dr. Francis B. Loring, of this city, was called tothe stand. He testified thut he had made a specialty of diseases of the eye and ear, and was now surgeon in charge of the Washington Eye and | Earinfirmary. He had been in the habit ef ex- amining the eyes of persons to discover diseases of the brain. On the 30th of October and the 5th of November he had examined the prisoner's eyes carefully at the jail. He found no indication of disease of the brain; he found at his first examina- ! tion the eyes in a good condition except that one of them was slightly inflamed; the powers of sight of one eye was uP to the standard; the other ightly below it. He advised the prisoner to use glasses, and when he got the glisses there followed an improvement in the condition of his eyes. The inequality in the muscles would pro- Guve a pecullar appearance of the eye; an appear- ance lke a squint might be produced; his eyes hea in sued air condition, = ie wilhess Was cross-examined briefly by Mr. Scoville, iy ANOTHER EXPERT ON THE STAND. Dr. Allen McLean Hamilton, of New York, was: next examined. He testified that for nine years he had made diseases of the mind and nervous sys- tem a special study. He had made three personal examinations of the prisoner at the jail; the first ‘was Made on October 380th, the second November 1st, and the third on November 5th. He had also examined the prisoner in the court-room. ‘There was no paralysis, nO 1033 of power, no indication of any ‘nervous disease or any disease of the brain. The witness, taking a dia- m, explained the peculiarities of the prisoner's Read? he'sald it was'an exceedingly well shaped head. He found that Guiteau was eccentric, and probably bad tempered. “When I am abused I am eccentric,” said the isoner. “I have taken more abuse in’ uils case {han Fever did before in my lite.” THE SPIRIT, AND NOT THE FORM. ‘When the witness had made some remarks about the prisoner’s head, the latter said :—* I don’t take much stock in all this talk about heads and faces. ‘It's the spirit that’s in a man you must talk about. Get aca with spiritology, and you will get more sense than you will from craniology.
