CROSS-EXAMINATION OF DR, GRAY. THE GOVERNMENT TESTIMONY CLOSED. CLARK MILLS AND JOHN GUITEAU. THEIR TESTIMONY OBJECTED TO. There was no falling off in the attendance at the Guiteau trial this morning. The counsel for de- fence and Mr. John Guiteau were, as usual, in their places long before the court opened. Mr. Davidge was the only member of the prosecution counsel who appeared before the court opened. GUITEAU'S OPENING REMARKS 48 TO HIS NEW YEAR CALLERS. When the court opened and Guiteau was placed in the dock, he saluted the spectators by saying: “I had a very happy New Year. I hope every one else did. I had plenty of visitors, high-toned, middle-toned and low-toned people, taking in the whole crowd, showing that public opinion ts in my favor. They were very glad to see me and expressed the opinion without one dissenting voice that I would be acquitted.” CROSS-EXAMINATION OF DR, GRAY CONTINUED. Dr. John P. Gray, the Utica expert, was then called to the stand and his cross-examination was continued by Mr. Scoville, ‘The witness sald that hereditary tendency was an importint considera- tion in determining sanity. Being asked if he kneW any gentleman in the United States who had had so long an experience in the study ofinsanity ashe had,the witness replied: “I don’t know every body in the United States.” ‘The witness declined to say whether experts were not sometimes mis- taken, because he did not care to pass upon the acts of his professional brothers. GUITEAU SANE ON THE 2D OF JULY. Mr. Scoville asked if his opinion, that the prisoner was sane on the 2d of July, was based on the fact that he had discovered no evidences ot disease of the brain. The witness replied that It was based on the entire case, including his cx- amination, THE WITNESS OBJECTS TO BEING-LECTURED BY MR. SCOVILLE, The witness said there was no “inability” to find brain disease; there was no brain disease Present. Mr. Scoville having agged several ques- tions which, he said, the witness did not answer, the witness sald sharply: “I do not propose Mr. Scoville, to be lectured by counsel. I propose to give my own testimony in my own | ‘Way, and not have you give {t for me.” Mr. Scoville hav quired 1f a man had, without apparent or adequate motive, shot a 0 down in a crowd of people, whether he would | consider ft any evidence of unsoundness of mind, | the witness Said: “Not the slightest; for tae words apparent motive have no particular 10¢ ing.

There as no such thing as insanity In the emotions alone. ory of the ease,” replied the FRIVOLITY, The witness haying observed that a question asked by Mr. Scoville was frivolous, the prisoner remarked: “Your idea, doctor, that there can't be Insanity without disease of the brain Is frivotous. | You and the subject. | You had better study spirit You will get yome new light then.” Mr. Scoville submitted in evidence tables trom Dr. Gray’s annual reports regarding hereditary in- sanity HUMPTY DUMPTY. The prisoner, whose time was occupled vests for notes, looked up during a imination and said (reading froma “Humpty Dumpty wents my autograph. I believe he 1s the man who appeared here the other day in bust.” The witness said there were certain cases of insanity, Some known as perfodie insanity, and paroxysinal insanity, where at times it would be dificult to detect any evidences of insanity. Insane people sometimes wrote sensible letters. RE-DIRECT EXAMINATION OF DR. GRAY. A few minutes after 12 o'clock Mr. Scoville ex- cused Dr. Gray and Mr. Corkhill began a re-direct examination, the first questions relating to tables regarding insanity taken from an address made by the witness. Of fifty-four cases of homicidal in- sanity seven had claimed a command of God as Justilication for their acts. These were all cases, with the exception of two, perhaps, of profound insanity, aside from the particular delusion under which they committed the acts, Mr. Corkhill referred again ‘in his questions to the interview in jail, and the witness said the Law Journal, which had’ becn referred to, had an ac- count of Lawrence's trial in this court. In reply to Mr. Reed the witness said it was true that what the prisoner had said was that he had not read the Journal, but Mr. Scoville had told him of it, < At 12:30 p.m. @ recess for half an hour was taken. Proceedings After Recess. When the court reassembled, at 1:05 o’clock p.m. Dr. Gray was recalled to the stand. Mr. Corkhilj said he had no further questions to ask. Mr. Sco- ville asked him some further questions in relation to the tables in the doctor's reports showing the proportion of homicidal cases admitted to the witness’ asylum. Dr. Gray was excused from the stand at 1:20 p.m. . TESTIMONY FOR THE GOVERNMENT CLOSED. ‘Mr. Corkxhill, rising, sald: “That concludes, your honor, the testimony for the government.” CONFERENCE OF THE DEFENCE. Mr. Scoville, opening his satchel, drew out a long sheet of paper covered with memoranda, and’ con- sulted fora minute or two with Mr. Reed. Then e walked over to the dock, and interrupting the Sober occupation of writing aRtograph for a short while held a brief conference with him. Re- turning to his seat, Mr. Scoville called Dr. Bowker as a, Witness in sur-rebuttal. a ‘MR. SCOVILLE'S SURPRIBE, Mr. Scoville remarked that he had been taken by surprise somewhat by the proseeution not calling to the stand some of the officers of ¢he government whose names were on the list of witnesses, and reso placed that they were able to know more of the mental sonaltion of te at What action the defence Would take Would be an- nounced in the morning. as A MISSOURI WITNESS Dr. 8.

BOWKER WAS CROSS-EXAMINED by Mr. Davidge. The conversation referred to, the witness said, took place in Leadville, in July, about two weeks after the shooting. The inter- view was a chance one; he had called at Mrs. Dup- re’s house to make an inquiry, and he talked With her about an hour, mostiy about the Guiteau case. He admitted having gone to see Mrs. Dun- mire here with Mr. Scoville. On re-direct examination the doctor said the object of going to Mrs. Dunmire wos that he de- sired to go home, and Mrs. Dunm-re agreed to make the admissions that would allow hit to de- part. Afterwards, however, Mrs. Dunmire de- clined to see him. ‘The prisoner, interrupting the examination, said: “A vast amount of rubbish is getting inv» thiscase. I wouldn't give a cent a bushel for all this expest testimony. I woulda’t give half a cent a bushel for all this kind of te 1x.’ Mr. Davidge brought out the fact that the wit- ness had gone home once after drawing $130, mlle- age and fees, Mr. Scoville stated that believing Mrs. Dunmire would admit the subst unce of the doctor’s testi. mony he had excused him. ‘The witness having asked to have his fees for his present service at court pail, so he could ut once go howe, Mr. Corkhill remarked that to ask the government now to pay tais witness again would be going beyond en turance. After some discussion, the debate was decided out of order. The witness wag excused Irom the stand. 1 CLARK MILIS, THE SCULPTOR, ON THE STAND. Mr. Clark Mills, tne sculptor, wos then called to the stand, and he brouglt with him jy his hands a plaster cast of the prisoner's head. was about to ask him some q the cast, when Mr. Davide obj y WAS hot adralssible In su ovilie held that Mr, Mills’ testimony was. eto refute that of Dr. Kemp-ter, who > Was nothing peculiar in Guiteaw’s "head ured with othir heads, He wanted to Mr. Mills, that he had examined upwards of a thous «nd heads and knew that Guiteau’s head Was abnormal, and that_a head witit such de- Velopme..ts indicated an illy-bal inced mind. ‘The court asked If Mr. Milis was an expert. Mr. Scoville said he “I thougit he was a sculptor,” remarked Mr. ons regarding tat the tesu- uttal. coville held that he did not know that ex- vis confined to medical sclence. “I pro- us witness,” he added, turning to the court, “soine questions in phrenology.

THE IRREPRESSIBLE GUITEAU AGAIN GETS A CH TO “ENLIGHTEN” THE JURY AS TO PUBLIC OPINIC The prisoner, paying no attention, proceeded: | “It goes on to set forth,” he said, “that Iwill be acquitted.
