The other actors in the trial were a little lute In arriving. Messrs. Scoville, Reed, and J. W. Guiteau, were present early.

CITE, When the court was called to order at 10 m., the prisoner was at gnee brought in. Upon a seat the prisoner, addressing the au- dience, sald: “Thad a nice Christmas. I hope ‘verybody else did. Thad an Christmas din- ner, fruits, flowers, candies, &c., and pleaty of lady visitors and gentlemen.” A New York Expert on the Stand. Dr. A. E. MacDonald, medical superintendent of the New York City Asylum for the fasane, was led to the stand by Mr. Corkhill, In reply to the questions of the district attorney, Dr. Me- Donald gave his experiences as an observer of the insane. Somewhat over 6,000 insane persons, he said, had come under his care. attendance on the trial with the three and a-half days, ever since its opening. Insanity, in a medical sense,meant a disease of the brain, Which manifested itself in_ some feeling, thought or action not normal. He detined the meanings of the terms delusion, fusion and hal- lucination. He said that insane persons who claimed inspiration, so far as his ¢ went, claimed to have received instruc letters on the wall, or hearing the voice “ot G exception of or in some way Uke that. The patients al proclaimed the ‘inspiration as soo felt it Such per: xpressed belie they were al ry Ins had spoken of, came upon pe ing some form of insinity.

In thls count cording to the last census, it was 1 in ev In regard to the "statement that one Insane person in every five,” sald the witness, “I would think the other four of that ‘oung man’s five might be deemed pretty sane. ‘AS a rule, the acts of violence of sane people were never without a motive; as a rule, the acts of the insane were quickly executed, and they were not so apt to plan an act as a sane person. “You alking about ks,” interrupted the prisoner. “Iamno crank, I want your opinion on Abraham, Doctor. AN OBJECTION BY MR. REED. The district attorney having asked the witness why Dr. Kiernan had been discharged from the asylum, Mr. Reed objected, that the matter was collateral, brought out by the prosecution and could not, under the rule, be questioned by them. ‘Mr. Corkhill insisted that expert witnesses were not bound by the same rules as others. Mr. Reed opposed this view. “Experts,” he said, “arg just the same as any other person on the stand. They have to take their chances.” ‘The court sustained the defence in the objection to the district attorney’s question, The witness said his reply would not involve the question of Dr. Kiernan’s credibility as an ex- pert. Referring to the patient, Williams, reterred. & by Dr. Kiernan, he said he bad never known him to claim divine inspiration, as Dr. Kiernan alleged. In reference to a patient named Jobson, referred to by Dr. Kiernan asa person alleged tw have been born insane, the witness said that he had not been insane since birth. “He was em- ployed for many years,” said the witness, “on the newspaper press of New York city. Idon’t know that that was any evidence that he was not in- sane, though.” QUESTION RULED OUT. The witness said he knew Dr. Spitzka, ‘Mr. Corkhill asked if his (the witness’) asylum “had ever longed for Dr. Spitka’s services?” ‘The question was ruled out, and also all ques- tons relating to Dr. Spitka’s application for em- ployment under Dr. McDonald, as the matter was collateral, elicited from Dr, Spltka on cross-exam|- nation.

The London Daily News, in an editorial on the Guiteau trial, says: “The whole court seems to exist for the convenience and self-glorification of Guiteau. In thisimad burlesque, while Guiteau is the person of the first consideration, the judge seems to be of the leust. Guiteau is forbearing, even friendly toward the judge so long as the latter does not assert his’ authority. On Mr. Scoville he heaps the most opprobrious and in- sulting epithets.
