I): requisition was, in the usual course of busfies=. referred to Quar- termaster General Meigs. In endorsing the requsition, the Quartermaster General says that he thinks that every n ary post should have a sufficient eight-day striking clock at the guard house and at the adjutant’s ,office, and it may also be proper to have such a clock in the quar- termaster’s office. yond this officers should depend upon their own watches or private clocks. The quartermaster’s department cannot approve expenditures for fancy clocks. General Meigs says that “there is a disposition to expend money unnecessarily for clocks which are reportd as keeping good time.”. A $7.60 clock, of the proper make, is all that is necessary. He has one of these clocks in his own office room, *‘and it keeps better time than a French mantel clock, inthe same room, which cost $75.” IN WasHinoton, December 15, 1881. a ae Co ee that date ee a 4 ect off from premises an nalty of to Hos. box d15-tJan1 Water Ki JAMES H.

THE PERSISTENT PRISONER. 1S THREATENED WITH THE DOCK. EXPERT TESTIMONY AS TO HIS SANITY. a COUNSEL AT LOGGERHEADS. The crowd that attends the Guiteau trial does not arrive so early as formerly. When the court opens now the room is not uncomfortably crowded. It isnot long, however, before every inch of space is occupied, for people keep strag- gling in, until the doors have to be closed. GUITEAU COMPLAINING OF MALARIA. When Guiteau was brought to court this morn- ing, he complained of feeling unwell, saying that he was suffering with malaria. He only ate two or three mouthfuls of the bountiful breakfast provided for him. He expressed himself as anx- ious to have the court adjourn at noon. Ex- Secretary Boutwell, of Massachusetts, cat near Judge Porter. COURT OPENED. The court was conyened at 10:05 o'clock. and Guiteau was at once brought into the court- room. There was a pile of letters waiting for him, and after he had given Mr. Charles Reed, who sat as usual just a little behind Mr. Scoville, asmiling greeting, and conversing with hima minute or two, he proceeded to read his letters. DR. HENRY P. STERNS WAS RECALLED to the witness stand, and Mr. Scoville con- tinued the cross-examination. The witness said that he meant by mania a form of mental dis- ease usually attended by excitement. There were many cases of insanity in which coxditions exactly opposite to mania existed. Melancholia and dementia were unattended by excitement. In cases of almost all forms of insanity, mem- ory is generally the first faculty to be im- paired. SPAT BETWEEN COUNSEL. ANDTHE PRISONER JOINS IN. Mr. Scoville having asked the witness if he agreed with Dr. Talcott that insanity was al- ways a manifestation of a diseased brain, Mr. Porter objected to having the witness asked re- garding what another witness had said. He said that he thought it due to everybody that the examination should be conducted more ac- cording to the rales of law than heretofore. “You are getting excited, judge,” remarked the prisoner. “I must say.” observed Mr. Scoville, “that | Judge Porter can make more out of nothing | than any man I eyer saw.” “T agi ith you there” said the prisoner. The court directed Mr. Scoville to ask his questior tly, without reference to what other witnesses had sald. The witness said that insanity was always a manifestation of disease of the brain. There | had been cases of undoupted insanity where an ‘amination of the brain failed to indicate any inet lesion. Judge Porter having made an impressive Speech rebuking Mr. Scoville for interrupting | the witness, the prisoner raised a lus’ y- | That’s very fine, ain’t it, Porter ? Judge Porter, a few ininntes later, again ob- jected to Mr. Scoyille’s manner of questioning the witness, and made quitea long speech in an impressive Tr. When be took his seat the ou must have contracted ee ty oville finished, Mr. Reed took up the cross-examination, and -eame into collision at once with Jude Porter. “They are getting very uneasy about the prosecution” remarked the prisoner, when Mr. Porter had made a speech. It was a fact, the witness said, that some in: sane persons had acute memories. The witness said he did not liketo say that he agreed or dis- agreed with any one. He had no doubt that there was not anexpert here with whom he would agree in every particular. “Then it is a fact, is it,” sald Mr. Reed, “that the doctors disagree on this subject?” “They do on ail points,” replied the witness. The witness said that it would not determine | the prisoner's sanity or Insanity if it was known | that the detendant was honest in the belief that | God required him to commit the act of murder. GUITEAU’S QUESTION TO THE WITNESS. When Messrs. Scoville and Reed had finished with the witness, the prisoner said: “Allow me to ask you, Doctor, if you hold that @ man cannot be insane in a specific act without his brain 1s deceased? Is that your theory ?” Judge Porter checked the witness from an- swering the question. ‘ “Who's doing this business, you or the court?” inquired the prisoner of Judge Porter. Judge Porter remarked that it appeared that the criminal was managing It. “Tam no more of a criminal than you are,” retorted Guiteau.. “I stand a great deal better outside than you do. ‘The newspapers are say- ing that ‘Guiteau is a bigger inan than old Porter.” w= THE PRISONER'S DOCK. “shall be compelled, if these interruptions are continued,” said Judge Porter, ‘to have them made from the dock,” and he pointed to- wards th@prisoner’s dock. “That’s a question that has suggested itself to me,” remarifed the court. “Tam here as my own counsel,” insisted the prisoner. Mr. Corkhill said he thought that the sugges- tion made by Judge Porter was a very prover one. GUITEAU TAUNTING THE PROSECUTION. “It’s only a matter of discretion.” said the prisoner. ‘‘Icome here as my own counsel, and have as much right to be heard as you have, Corkhill. The prosecution seems to be ve anxious this morning about their case. I thin! it is a pretty bad case for them.” THE PRISONER TONED DOWN CONSIDERABLY, under tl:e intimation by the court that he would be placed in the dock if he did not. The witness was permitted to answer the prisoner's question. and replied that he did not think insanity could exist without disease. An Ohio Expert. Dr. Jamin Strong, superintendent of the asy- The prisoner cried out: now?” “Tapply to the court,” said Judge Porter. “*to have the prisoner removed to the dock.” “That's a matter which I have under con- sideration,” remarked the court. “I admonish the prisoner of that fact.” Mr. Scoville having referred to the fuss that Judge Porter made.oyer a “‘little motion,” Mr. Corkhill said that it was not a little motion. He said they had sat there under the prisoner's calumny and abuse. “I have told you the truth,” said the prisoner, “and every member of this bar knows that you are a first-class fraud.” The dock, Mr. Corkhill said, was the place for the criminal. There was some demonstration after Mr. Cork- hill stopped speaking, and one or two hisses. The court remarked that if such demonstra- tions were continued, he would haye those making them placed under arrest. “T don’t come here as an ordinary prisoner,” remarked the prisoner. is The examination of Dr. Strong was then con- tinued. He said, from his examination, he be lieved the prisoner sane. His reply to the hypothesis of the prosecu- tion was also that the prisoner was sane. Upon cross-examination Mr. Reed propounded to_the witness the hypothetical question pre- pared for the experts for the defence. “T cannot look upon it as true,” said the wit- ness, Mr. Reed insisted that he should have an an- swer, and asked that his reply should be stricken out of the record. “Stricken out of the record, your honor,” said Mr. Corkhill, “not out of our recollec- tions.” Mr. Reed objected to having the witness pass upon the truth or falsity of the hypothesis. The court finally required the witness to give an opinion on the defence’s hypothetical state- ment. Yhy don’t you do it LOOKING FOR THE TRUTH. The witness hesitated some minutes, looking towards the ground. “He's looking for that $500,” remarked the prisoner. “Tam looking simply for the trath. That is of more consequence,” said the witnes: the question is wholly outside of my he case, or my knowiedge of the case assume it to be true,” Then followed a rather LIVELY COLLOQUY BETWEEN COUNSE! Mr. Corkhill said he honored the professional character of a witness who refused to. go before the jury and the country as lending countenance toa misrepresentation of facts. Mr. Reed said it was the first time he ever had heard that an expert had any more sancti- fication as a witness than any other man. If the witness says he cannot answer, he would say that the witness could stand aside. Judge Porter, remarking that he could not see on what the defence’s hypothetical state- ment was based, the prisoner said: You have got 25,000 at stake. That's the reason you cat't | see it. The court having ruled that Mr. Reed could | put the hypothetical question again to the wit- . Davidge asked that M d to keep silence while the witness was replying. I don't. think that is necessai t i , 1 cannot | ness, Mr. D said the rt. When did you become my censor?” asked Reed of Mr. Davidze. When you appeared on the witness stand,” replied Jude Porter. The witness said hi all the assun ould express an opinion in the hypothetical e lutely true, they would ap- ply to any insane person. “You're the stupidest fellow we have yet had,” remarked the prisoner. They would indicate or point to insanity, said the witness would not like to give an opinion on ai nption without having made | a persona ion. VICIOUS PRO! ITY WILL NEUTRALIZE FREE A 5 “The question is,” said the prisoner, “one o; aq" » free agency.” “Vicious propensity ageney,” retorted the witness. After further ss-exainination, which was attended by squalls between counsel, Dr. Strong was excused from the stand. A Connecticut Expert. Dr. Abraham Marvin Schultz, of Middletown. Conn,, was called to the stand. Mr. Scoville said he would like to haye Mrs. Scoville called to the stand, as he desired to ask her a few questions. Mr. Corkhill said that that could bedone after Dr. Schultz’s examination was over. He gave it | as his opinion, from the testimony, that the case of Abby Maynard was one of insanity, tho! there was no indication of heredity. le, insane criminals are more egotistical, self-willed and ignorant than sane cr a as a class, they lack those characteristics which we con- | sider associated with culture and manhood. | OF THE OPINION GUITEAU IS SANK. The witness said he had examined the pris- oner at the jail, and had been in attendance at the trial since November 26. His opinion was that the prisoner was sane. “Sane now, but insane on the 2d of July,” in- terjected the prisoner. In reply to the hypothetical questions, the witness gave it as his opinion that the prisoner was sane on the 2d of July. At 12:40 p.m. the court took a recess for half ‘an hour. ill neutralize free DR. SPITZKA’S LETTER. The following is the text of Dr. Spitzka’s letter read in court yesterday: 130 E. 50th st., s Dec. 22, 1881. My dear sir:—I have written Reed some im- portant points on Hamilton, whom you may also ask if he wrote or inspired an editorial in the Philadelphia Heg. Bulieti: I feel morally Reed should | § sure he did. Introduce that cast by all means. I suppose the sculptor will have to swear to its identity and give his experience. Leave out phrenology. Theskullshape ofthe cast isreliable; the face part ‘was smoothed out because G. smiled’ and is not as reliable. It is possible that I had the right and left sides mixed up on the stand. It is the left side which shows defective innervation (oegee and face) while the right half of the skull is smaller, Hehe chief anomaly is the posterior face and Ask Hamilton whether Broea does not call such skulls abnormal; whether Neynert in his last article on the subject does not do so, and attach the greatest weight to skull anoma- Nes.

San Franctsco, Cat., December 24.—A Port- land dispatch says the Oregonian publishes an interview with Lieut. Schwatka regarding the cruise of the Jeannette.
