SCOVILLE ON THE WITNESS STAND. The court was called to order azain at 1:15 p m.,and Dr. Schulze was again called to the stand and surrendered to the defence for cross- examination, which was conducted by Mr. Reed. Tt was true, the witness said, that insane per- sons sometimes had good memories, quick per- ceptions, frequently planned their acts, and in some exceptional cases denied their acts. It was diflicult, in rare cases, for any persons to determine whether a man was sane or insane. GUITEAU'S OPINION OF EXPERT TESTIMONY. “Now these’ experts,” interrupted the pris- oner, “are very fine men socially, and all that. but I wouldn't give a cent a bushel for their opinions one way or the other.” “You promised to keep quiet this morning,” sald the court; “now you must keep quict.” “Well, Lwantito get that out,” persisted the prisoner (beating his fist on the table). “I would 't give a cent a bushel for their opin- jon: Mr. Reed having closed his cross-examination, Mr. Scoville questioned the witness. The wit- ness did not think the prisoner had been al tempting to feign insanity; he thought he had been acting out his natural 1 cuiaractottotion, Another Ohio Expert. Dr. Orpheus Evarts, of College Hill, Qhio, the medical superintendent ef the Cincinnati Sani- tarium, a private institution for the insane, was next called to the stand. He said it required a special training to discriminate between sanity and insanity. He attached no importance tothe shape of the head in determining the question of insanity; the countenance often expressed in- sanity, but it would be difficult in most cases to detect insanity by such a test. The witness was asked what would be in- dicated if a man expressed remorse for an act. The prisoner look up and said: “It would indi- cate that he was a good fellow.” The witness said it would indicate the man’s capacity to reflect upon and review his own acts. IS OF OPINION GUITEAU IS SANE. The witness having testified that he had per- sonally examined the prisoner and observed him in the court-room, gave his opinion that the prisoner was sane. He gave the same opinion in reply to the hypothetical questions. “It may be well at this time,” said the pris- oner, “to state that it was the unanimous opinion of the American press that that act was the act of a madman, but these experts have seen me since, and because I am sane now, they think I was sane then. Dr. Evarts was cross-examined by Mr. Reed. He did not think athe prisoner was simulating Insanity. He did hot appear to him to be sin- cere; insane persons sometimes had fair mem- ories. As in the case of the other expert ‘witnesses, Mr. Scoville questioned Dr. Evarts, when Mr. Reed finished. The witness having been asked in reference to parts of the mind, said: “I do not believe in the sovereign states of the mind; I spell mind with a big M.” en, doctor,you don’t believe man’ ' Insane unless he is a raving maniac,” said the p ner. The doctor said that he believed the nd act- edasaunit. He said he defined remorse as the unhappiness due to the reversal of one’s judg- ment concerning an act. ~The remorse in this case,” said the prisoner, “came from the fact of the necessity for the President's removal.” PAY OF EXPERTS. Mr. Scoville having asked the witness regard- ing his usual compensation as an expert, he said: “From nothing a day and pay my own expenses up to $50 a day.” “$500 a day and expenses in this case,” added the prisoner, “I have never refused to attend court for pay or for want of pay,” said the witness, The witness said he had thought the prisoner was acting a part; he thought he was endeayor- ing to exaggerate his peculiarities. Mrs. Scoville on the Stand. Mr. Scoville said he desired to ask Mrs. Sco- ville a few things in rebuttal, and as there was sickness in her family at home, and she had to leave for Chicago, he would like to put her on the stand now. The prosecution having consented, Mrs. Sco- ville took the stand and testiried that she lived with the family of W. 8. Maynard, at Ann Arbor, a said, over a year, when she was 16 years ol She was asked if she had heard anything re- garding the insanity of Mrs. Maynard. The prosecution objected. Mr. Scoville said he intended to show in ex- planation of the testimony of Mrs. Julia Wilson, that the fact of insanity in the family was con- cealed from the children. After some dis- cussion it was decided that the evidence would be inadmissable. AS TO MR. NORTH'S SERMON. Mra. Scoville was then asked some questions regarding the final sermon of Mr. North in his church, to show why he left the church. “ It's North, the witness with the blue spec- tacles, your honor,” remarked Mr. Davidge. Mr. Scoville e sala he regretted the fact. of the blue spectacl “It is to ben regretted,” retorted Mr. Davidge, “because we did not see his eyes. The questions were not admitted. LETTER FROM L. W. GUITEAU TO MRS. SCOVILLE. Mr. Scoville handed Mrs. Scoville a letter which she identified. It was the one written by L. W. Guiteau to Mrs. Scoville in 1875, and was read by Mr. Scoville at his lecture. The prosecution consented to having the letter mitted as evidence, It declared the elder Guiteau’s belief that his son was insane, and in- stigated by the devil. Mr. Corkhil, at 2:45 p.m., suggested an ad- Journment. GUITEAU WISHES EVTRYBODY A “MERRY CHRISTMAS.” The prisoner, looking up, said: ‘To-morrow will be Christmas and I wish the court and the jury and the American people a merry Christ- mas. Iam happy.” The court then adjourned until Tuesday morn- ing. ‘TRIAL NOTES. Representative Speer, of Georgia, Senators Maxey and Kellogg. and Colonel Jack Wharton, of Georgia, were present in court this after- neon. The Bradford Repubtican, of Towanda, Pa., says: “Capt. Joseph H. Tall, a former resident of Bradford county, and a gallant officer in the late war of the rebellion, is the deputy marshal who has charge of Guiteau in court. All who know the captain's cool courage feel confident that his duties will be faithfully performed.” ‘The President's Callers. From the N. Y. Sun To-day. President Arthur's house was besieged yester- day bya host of callers. Messenger Alexander Powell stood guard at the door, and turned away the office seekers and cranks..

A General Assault, wi Jay Gould Conspicuous—! hrixtmas Frolic. From the New York Sun. 234. The decline in the stock of the Denver and Rio Grande railroad company the latter part of last week awoke stock brokers and speculators from the lethargy that has held them formany weeks. Since the first of this week the interest center- ing upon the floor of the stock exchange has been steadily reviving and increasing. On Wed- nesday the excitement became general and in- tense. Yesterday it was warmed to a white heat. The bear element, emboldened by its suc- cess in the drazging and steadily declining market of the last two months, and by the triumpbant raid on Denver and Rio Grande last week, has apparently started in for grand finale with which to close the . The dow impetus given to every active st day was sufficient to create a sternation, but the down-hill p: slight compared with y ‘8 fall in prices. Tu the last hour the market seemed on the edge of pani i di x prices had been hammered at with a vigor that was irresistible. | Nearly 600,000 shares were dealt in. rthern Pacific preferred was among the sufferers, and au especial object of attack. id that a large number of certificates in the name of President Villard were current dur- ing the d if those who are most interested | in the enterprise were assisting in the deciine or | willing so to appear. The impression is general that — of the leading operators, including Jay Gould, have become bears. As ch stock, it has been understood Mr. Gould was bound to sustain, some | of his associates said yesterday that the decline | was permitted, because cliques that are inter- ested in certain stocks had attacked Western Union with the view of forcing Mr. Gould into its support, and thus to make him support the general list. The plan did not reported that, instead of sustainini Mr. Gould's brokers offered about 5 One of the large houses in Wall street, which is interested in the opposition company, is credited with being short a large amount. But it is un- derstood that one of the obj ¢ pointe of = Gouid’s diversion is to squeeze certain orper tors to whom he is hostile outside of telegraya affairs. The dealings in Lake Shore were a conspien- ous feature of the day, aud were accompanied by derogatory reports about the earnings of the company. Derogatory rumors sprung “into be- ing quick and fast in the last hour. — The trans- actions of the last hour were treme blocks of thousands of shares. O1 were of the opinion that if the Exc remained open an hour longer there been a panic. Operators who have held 0: to stocks for months let go of them yesterday. The undenied and partly corroborated report that Gould had turned bear had a magical effect | throughout the street. It is generally conceded | that he desires to be a bull, being a large owner in vast properties and a projector of new en- terprises, but that he has come to the conclu- sion that the only means to get the market out of the rut in which it has run for the last few | months is a decisive decline, upon which a “boom” after New Year's can be based. The younger brokers have been preparing for acrand Christmas frolic next Saturday morning, but the governing committee, in view of t uncertain and active state of the market, put veto upon the project yesterday, practically sa) ing that the circumstances were such as to re- | c. quire their entire attention to business. The gathering ot brokers and speculators at the Windsor Hotel last evening was unusually large. Every one taiked bearish, especially on ‘¢ Shore, Missouri Pacific, bash, Jersey | Central, and Western Union. The story that Mr. Gowen had formed an alliance with Mr. William H. Vanderbilt was discredited on the strength of private dispatches from Philadelphia to that effect. A report was current that “a ring had been discovered” in the municipal goy- ernment of Newark,and that its plunder amount- | 1. B. & W ed to $2,000,000. SA A Man Mysreriousty Struck Deap.—a friend describes to us a remarkable scene wit- nessed by him at a religious meeting on Whidby Island, W.T.

He had barely uttered the last word when he fell dead. Coming as this did in the chureh and upon a leading member, after the making of such a declaration, the ef- fect upon the congregation can only be imag- ined. It was subduing, terrifying, awful.
