Judge Cox admitted the evidence, and Mr. Sco- ville noted an exception. ‘The witness said the prisoner replied after hesi- tation that the apostles were insane, and if they had committed an act contrary to te laws of the country in which they lived, they would have been excused on that ground by 4 jury. “HON. CHAS. GUITEAU.” ‘The prisoner denied thisstatement emphatically. “My letters nowadays,” he sald, after awhile, “are addressed to Hon. Charles Guiteau. There is some difference between that and the way they better go back to Boston, make some money, and pay his debts.” “If this pero keeps on,” sald the district attorney, “I shail ask that the be placed in another part of the house.” “Place itin the cellar, if you wish,” said Mr. Scoville, “we will not oppose the mation.” “I should not suppose,” remarked Judge Por- ter, “the counsel would 0) a motion to silence his client when ere 4 in?” Dr. Callendar having the nypoenedcat question of the defence propounded to him, said: “Under that hypothe his insanity is a self-evident pro- position.” A Question of Heads.

After ex- amining the usvfl preliminary questions, the wit- ness was given the cast of Guiteau’s head. GUITEAU'S HEAD WRLL SWAPED. ‘The witness pronounced it “a very well-shaped head.
