They, therefore, offered to pay $80 to each of a number of clerks who would remain after office hours in order to bring up this work. The clerks accepted the offer and did the work. The accounts for the extra pay had. of course, to be audited by the Treasury department. The question was there | raised as to the authority of the Commissioners. to make such payments, and it was referred to Judge Lawrence, first controller, for a decision. Judge Lawrence has decided that no authority | was vested in the Commissioners to make the payment, and that no employé of the govern- ment could receive more than one salary.

TESTIMONY OF THE EXPERTS. —— EXCITING SCENES IN COURT. GUITEAU “SANE AND PLAYING A PART.” ——— THE PRISONER PUT IN THE DOCK. —— The doorways leading to the Criminal Court- room at the City Hall, presented this morning, a most discouraging picture to those who sought admittance. It was a regular old-time crush. The police and deputy-marshats redoubled their vigilance atthe doors. Before Court opened the crowd was so great, that even the window-sills were occupied. Senator and Mrs. Windom and Congressman W. A. Wood, of New York, occu- pled seats near the prosecution table. When the Court opened none of the prosecuting coun- sel were present, and there was a delay of some minutes after the prisoner was brought im. Gui- teau spent his time turning completely around and ogling the crowd. This created a buzz of excitement, those people in the back of the room seldom getting such a good opportunity of seeing the prisoner's face. DR. MAC DONALD FURTHKIt CROSS-EXAMINED. When the prosecuting counsel arrived Dr. A. E. MacDonald took the stand, and his cross-ex- amination was resumed by Mr. Scoville. The witness was asked how short aseason he had ever known insanity to exist, and said one case lasted only one day, the patient having died. He had never knowna period of insanity where the patient recovered shorter than six weeks. GUITEAU ACTING CRAZY IN CouRT. Mr. Scoville asked what the witness meant by saying yesterday that the prisoner was acting @ part in court. “T believe,” said the witness, “he has been feigning what he believed to be insanity—not insanity really, though.” ‘There was some demonstration of applause at this point, which was quickly silenced by the officers. “Then your opinion is,” sald Mr. Scoyille, “that he has been attempting in court, to the extent of his ability, to appear insane.” “Yea, sir.” “And that-he has not been acting a natural part?” pursued Mr. Scoville. “That is my opinion. The witness was asked what he meant yester- day by saying the prisoner's Interruptions were more frequent and more violent when the evi- dence was against him. Mr. Scoville called at- tention to the part of Mrs. Scoville’s testimony regarding the raising of the axe, aad asked if the prisoner had not denied that. ter let him go,” said the prisoner to Mr. Scoville. “You are making too much of iim.” The witness replied to Mr. Scoville’s question that the prisoner had denied the fact bef the trial, and was bound to deny it in the court- room. Mr. Scoville objected to the reply, but his ob- Jection being overruled, he said: “Well, let it stand then as an indication of the feeling of the witness.” r “A feeling honorable to him,” added Judg Porter. “Tell ns something about Abraham, and you jected the prisoner. e you ever had any sympathy with peo- ple who claim to live in communion with God? asked Mr. Scoville of the witness. ‘A great many Christian people claim to have munion with God.” replied Dr. MacDonald. ave authy with them.” See ‘ked if the witness had not been arged from the charity hospital at New York by reason of having given a false certifi- cate irding the health of Wm. M. Tweed? The witness replied that he was not dis- charged from the charity hospital, and had never given a certificate of ill-health or other- wise to Win. M. Tweed, though he had reported on the e% He had never heard of it before. Mr. Scoville said he had been so informed, but of course, had no such suspicion now, WHY DR. KIERNAN WAS DISCHARGED. Mr. Scoville having finished his cross-exam- ination, Mr. Corkhill argued -that the question |" he asked the witness yesterday, asto why Dr. Kiernan was discharged from the New York asylum was admissible. Mr. Reed opposed this view. The court held that as Dr. Kiernan’s statement reflected on Dr. McDonald, the latter could res ply whether Dr. Kiernan was discharged for the | reasons he himself had stated—a refusal to signa | death certificate for a man who had been killed by a keeper. “That had nothing to do with his discharge.” said Dr. McDonald. ‘*He was never requested to sign a death certificate.” In the case referred to the witness said there was no necessity for a death certificate. “If thére had been,” he added, ‘I would have signed it myself instead of asking my apothecary.’ aa In explanation of the arfiwer he had given Mr. Scoville regarding the Tweed case the wit- ness said he remembered that he did once hear before a Senate investigation that he had been promoted to his present place on account of his kindness to Mr. Tweed. He intimated that he knew from whom Mr. vile’s information came. - Seoville, ‘a doc- “Ie there not,” asked Mr. tor’s quarrel between you and this person who you think gave the information?” “Idont think so,” replied the witness, “I don’t generally quarrel with such people.” An Expert From Bichmon HE IS SATISFIED THAT GUITEAU FEIGNING IN COURT. Dr. Randolph Barksdale, superintendent of a lunatic asylum dt Richmond, Va., was then called to the stand. He declared that his per- sonal examination of the prisonor satisfied him that he was sane; and that he was feigning in Court. “W y do you think so? what are your rea- sons?” asked Mr. Corkhill. “The marked contrast between his behavior in court, and that on the occasion when I vis- ited him in jail. He seizes every salient point as given in evidence, and then becomes excited. while other times he is quiet and behaves as any other man would.” The witness, In reply to the hypothetical questions of the prosecution, gave his opinion that the person indicated in them was sane. THE WITNESS CROSS-EXAMINED. Upon cross-examination by Mr. Reed, tne wit- ness was asked if he had not stated in the court room to a gentleman named Mr. Haven that he believed the prisoner was. sane. The witness replied, emphatically, that he had not. Mr. Scoville then cross-examined the witness for a few minutes. The witmass said he did not think a man would necessarily be consistent when feigning insanity; he did not believe the prisoner was feigning whemihe saw him fn jail. An Expert from ‘Tennessee. | Dr. John H. Callendar, ef Nashville, Tenn., superintendent of the Tenpassee hospital for the Insane, was next called and sworn, Before he was examined, M@. Davidge stated that he had received a note fim Mr. E aven,the gentleman referred to by Mr. Reed, asking that the question asked Dr. Barksdale, referring tu him and Dr, Barksdale. beistaticken out. The defence consented to tlas, Mr. Reed stat- ing that he supposed the faetavas true when he asked the question, Dr. Callender, like the otherexperts, described with some minuteness the physical examination able curiosity on the subject. Whethe re is any truth in the rumor or not there are those who believe it. Speaking ot the chances of See- retary Kirkwood to remain, as compared with: those of Sargent to be appointed, a repubtica: Congressman said: “Towa is a ceriaia and so republican state, and her alleziance to the part: isnot tobeshaken, The Pacific statesare steadil’ growing in limportance. California is a yery he had made of the prisoner: He had found the head of the prisoner somewhat assymmetrical. He did not sind anything peeuiiar in the forma- tion of the lines of the privener’s fuce. Like the other experts, the witness defined Insanity asa disease; he did not think it transmittable from father to son as a disease.g A susceptibility to the disease might be inh |. A fendency to the formation of fantastic opinions. aecom- close state, as the last election showed. Give her a Cabinet appointment, and no doubt she would come into the republican column. This is probably the view the President takes, and it wouldn't me to see Sargent appointed.” panied by unsound judgments, did not necessa- rily Indicate insanity. fer sane or’ insane people could have such 2 characteristic. DR. SPITZKA'S “MORAL MONSTROSITY.” Mr. Corkhill asked the witness what was meant by the term ‘moral monstrosity,” as ap- plied by Dr. Spitzka to the prisoner? The witness said he presumed the term had been used to indicate moral imbecility, or mora insanity. In his judgment no such form of in- sanity existed. As for a moral monstrosity, he did not know how to detine that, except, as an individual ot average intellect who gave free reign to his evil passions. The district attorney having described the facts leading up to the shooting of the Presi. dent, the witness replied that he did not think such a state of facts consistent with the theory of irresistible impulse. He thought that a per- son laboring under the delusion that he had been commanded by Godgto remove the Presi- dent, would betray his delusion, either by com- municating it to others, or by some change in his manner andactions. From his observations, the witness said, in his opinion,the prisoner was @ sane man. GUITEAU STILL HARPING ON ABRAHAM. “Now, tell us about Abraham, Doctor,” broke in the prisoner. Mr. Corkhill rose at this point to read the hy- pothetical questions to the witness. “About two-thirds of that question Is false,” said the prisoner; “I tell you that now, go I won't have to interrupt you, Corkhill.” MR. SCOVILLE’S OBJECTION OVERRULED. When the first question had been read, Mr. Scoville objected to the question, alleging that in certain portions of it it was assumed that cer- tain persone stated certain things, instead of assuming facts, The objection was overruled and an exception noted to the admission of the witness’ reply, which was tothe effect that the person described in the question was sane. When the second question had been read, the ner called out, ‘Two-thirds of that is p false. Mr. Scoville as usual made objection to the question, but the objection was overruled. The witness said he believed the person de- scribed in the question was sane when he com- mitted the homicidal act. “Well, Doctor,” said_the prisoner, “ what do you think about my Christmas greeting, pub- lished in all the papers this morning. Give us some points on that, Doctor, It is more sensi- ble than this kind of talk.” The witness was asked several hypothetical questions in cross-examination by Mr. Scoville. At half-past 12 o’elock a recess for half an hour was taken. When the crowds re-assembled after recess Mr. Scoville brought with a mysterious package. When the wrappings were removed from it it was found to contain a plaster model of Guiteau’s head, made by Clark Mills. It was an object of much attention from the spectators. When court was called to order Mr. Scoville remarked that, in order to be accurate, he would like to have Mr. Mills sworn so as to identify the cast. The prosecution said they would allow Mr. Mills t on the stand for this purpose after Dr. C "3 examination was over. The court i that if Mr. Scoville wished to question Dr. Caller regardin he cast he could intreduce it as a hypothetical qu AMINATION OF DR. CALL SUMED. Mr. Scoville then proceeded with the cross- xamination of Dr. Callendar. The prisonertaking up the cast, which looked like a whitened skull, examined it critical, A QUESTION OBJECTED TO AS BLASPHEMOY: Mr. Scoville having propounded a long hypo- thetical question assuming certain facts as the prisoner’s belief that he was inspired, a partner of Jesus Christ, &c., Judge Porter rising sai “T object, your honor, to that question as irre erent and blasphemous.” Mr. Scoville said he did not think the objec- tion was one that came within the rules of law. “Ifthe prisoner's belief that he was inspired,” Scoville added, “was blasphemous, then iat ends the defence in this case. Judge Porter, rising, said with great solemni- Y: ven by the oath of } the prisoner, that he believed the Redeemer of mankind to be his partner. I hold,” continued the counsel, “whatever your honor may hold, it + time to rebuke both the counsel and his client.” “How about Abraham, you great big goose. you?” called out the prisoner. \ PROTEST. “The time has come,” continued Judge Por- ter, “when, in behalf of the American govern- ment, I protest against these blasphemous ut- terances. The counsel may predicate his case on the facts that have been proved by evidence.” THE IRREPRESSIBLE PRISOD “I am quiet, sir.” said the prisoner, “when I am treated decently, but not otherwise. It is all caused by the mean way the prosecution has conducted their case.” “How about Christ and Paul?” called out the prisoner. “Tinust insist, your honor, in behalf of the government,” persisted Judge Porter, “‘that] Battimore, December 28.—A fire this this prisoner should be remanded to the dock.” | morning — destroyed the three upper “You had better mind your own business,” | floors of warehouse No. 86, Camden interrupted the prisoner. street, occupied by Steifel '& Juhn, “That's my business to-day,” retorted Judge Porter. Judge Porter having again referred to what he called blasphemy, the prisoner said: “It is not blasphemy, but the truth.” JUDGE PORTER ASKS THAT THE PRISONER BE RE- MOVED TO THE DOCK. On a question which touched the hearts and consciences of the people, Judge Porter contin- ued, he invoked the court to grant the motion to remove the prisoner to the dock. “The American people are with me more and more,” interrupted the prisoner. Mr. Reed rising said they did not propose to try the case before the American people as a JO vny then,” asked Judge Porter, “do you address the American people. and have your client address them by your advice.” “That isn’t trae Judge Porter, and you know it isn’t true,” retorted Mr. Reed. “It isn’t worth your honor’s notice,” inter- rupted the prisoner. ~‘That’s my answer to that kind of talk from Porter.” MR. DAVIDGE FOLLOWS. Mr. Davidge rose to speak to the motion, and argued the propriety and necessity of removing the prisoner to the dock. ‘It seems to me,” said Mr, Davidge, ‘that not to act is to encour- age in the future such things as have transpired in the past.” GUITEAU IN THE PRISONER'S DOCK. Judge Cox, after the arguments, decided that the prisoner should go to the dock, andthemar- shal at once directed the dock to be cleared. The prisoner asked that he should not be taken to the dock, but escorted there by the officers, he took aseat therein. TRIAL NOTES. Judge Wylie sat with Judge Cox this morn- T apreemuen ‘Singleton, of Illinois, was among the spectators this morning. Mrs. Scoville is reported to be too unwell to attend court. DEATH FROM HypROPHoBIA.—A very extraor- dinary case of death from hydrephobia occurred in Philadeiphia Christmas day. The victim, a young clerk, Henry B.
