PRAYERS OF THE PROSECUTION. ——— GUITEAU’S OUTBREAKS TO--DAY. ———__ There was a packed house in the court room when Judge Cox came in this morning. The room was filled half an hour before the court was called to order. Mr. Scovilleand Mr. Reed were as usual the first of the counsel to appear on the ground. Mrs. Scoville appeared in her old seat at the counsel table, which she left. some days ago. Drs, Gray and Kempster were the only members of the expert corps in thelr places, the others hav- Ing left the city. 5 GUITEAU'S PROMISE TO KEEP QUIET. As soon as court opened Mr. Scoville, golng to the clerk's desk with a paper in his hand, sub- scribed to it, Guiteau, taking advantage of the silence, sald: “It 1s a good time to make a speech, but I promised the marshal I would keep quiet to- day. guess I'll try and do it.” Mr. Scoville’s Affidavit.

Subscribed and sworn to before me, fourth di January, 1882. R. J. Metas, Cler By W.G. Wiiuiams, Assistant Clerk. AFTER THE READING OF THE AFFIDAVIT. The affidavit was passed to Judge Cox, who spent some tme carefully studying it, and then asked Mr. Corkhill if he wished to be heard on the subject. Mr, Corkhill replied that he did not think the question required argument. Mr. Scoville sald he believed that, Dr. MacFar- land was of opinion from what he had read that the prisoner was insane. “The jury have rather an advantage over the doctor,” said Judge Porter. “They have heard the testimony.” REMARKS OF MR. REED AS TO THE ADMINSION OF NEW EVIDENCE. Mr. Reed, speaking to the motion embraced in the affidavit, said he admit’ ed that it was entirely within the discrevion of the court whether the Motion should be granted, and he believed that discretion would be conscientiously exercised. ‘The admission of such evidence at such a time he held was not without authority or precedent. He cited a case before Judge Blodgett, in Chicago, where needed evidence had been admitted after the arguments had been commenced. It was tfue this trial had been protracted, but it was not the | | cksonville, in of | avery vag defence. There were instances here where there had been technical omissions, in which evidence had been admitted out of the regular order. There Was no shadow of foundation laid for the intro- duction of the testimony of Dr. MacFarland. It would bea scandal to admit, it at this time. He was presented here as aman reckless enough to Swear upon what he had read. As to the rest of the evidence it was cumulative. As to the evi- }dence of the persons who had seen the prisoner, a aMidavit simply presented conclusions and not facts. MR. SCOVILLE ON THE DIFFICULTIES OF THE DEFENCE. Mr. Scoville remarked that there had been no trial In this country in which the defence was surrounded with such unusual difficulties as in this case. In reference to the expert testimony he remarked that the defence had not the means to secure the services of experts such as the gov- ernment had. Mr. Corkhill asked what means the government had that the defence had not had. Mr. Scoville said that the expert witnesses of the government had been waiting weeks, and all had testified that they expected compensation, While the witnesses for the defence received only $1.25 a day. The government experts, he said, are waiting now in the vain expectation of secing the result of their evidence in the hanging of Uhis prisoner, Mr. Corkhill said the experts for the had received only the regular witness fees. Mr. Scoville sald Dr. ‘arland knew as a scl- entific man of the mental condition of L. W. Gul- teau. He remarked that the prosecution had refused to bring out in evidence whut was sald by the prisoner during the two weeks after the slioot- ing when the district attorney and a stenozrapher had daily interviewed the pi . He did not think it was too much for the court now to admit any evidence covering that period of time. While the prosecution yesterday were profuse in thelr Protestations of fairness, still they wanted now to cut off this evidence 0: Mr. Corkhill— repea at he said sterday, that if there was any single fact of importance to the defence to be Submitted the prosecution would not stand in th Way. There had not been a case tried since courts Were instituted where tie same liberality had been | allowed to the defendant as in thls ¢: thought the proposition to put Dr. MacFarlind on | the stund now was an affront to the court and to the expert witnesses who had testified. He ob- served that Mr. Scoville had not told what the de- fence expected to prove by Brooks, Rathvone or McEltresh. They wanted them puton the stand in fhe hope that they might get_some evidence from hem. GUITEAU TELLS WHAT HE EXPECTS TO PROVE BY DE- TECTIVE MELFRESH. “I did intend,” said the prisoner, “to say nothing this morning. I propose to prove by Mr. McEifresh what I said to him when he went with me to Jail. I told Mr. McElfresh that it was the political situa- tion that did it. I propose to show by Mr. Brooks that he came to my cell on the 24 of July, thinking that there was a great conspiracy. I told him I did it, and T told him that it w: cal situ- ation, and I did it under Divine An officer tried to stop ing, and he turned, an: own business. Tl Shut your mouth.” Mr. Reed, rising in reply to instnuations inade | against Dr. MacFarland, sald he was the peer of aby man, Judge Cox was about to proceed with his decis- | jon When the prisoner interrupted him. “Mr, Bailey,” he said, “destroyed my note book.” He kept up a clamor fora minute or two, when tie ollicers sueceeded In quicting him.

I, W. GUITEAU’S LETTER TO MRS. SCOVILLE. Mr, Scoville then read the letter written at Free- Port, October 31, 1875, by L. W. Guiteau to Mrs, Scoville, which related tha Charles (the prisoner) had been at Freeport endeavoring to b orrow $2 000 to ald 1p his inter-ocean project. ‘The letter sald: “To my mind he isa fitsubject for a lunatic asylum, and if I had the means to keep bim, I Would send him to one for a while at least.” When Mr. Scoville had read the letter the pris oner inquired: “Is your object In reading th letter, Mr. Scoville, tos crank or that Tam’ a crauk ?” End of the ‘Testimon The usual hour for recess having arrived, the court asked if the defence had any further tosti- mony. Mr. Scoville said that under the ruling of the court he had no further testimony. He suggested an adjournment Ul to-morrow morning. AS TO THE POINTS OF LAW. The court said he would like to submit now have the court rule uj Mr. Davidge said he points to be raised by: inent Was ready to present theirs. Mr. Scoville Said the defence had theirs in de- tached form, Prayers of the Prosecution.

I sald, ‘Are you a stalwart?’ and he said he was. The point. is that itwas the political situation that precipitated me | upon the President. They are going to teil the | Jury that Iam a disappointed office seeker.” ‘The court said if he had anything-as to the lan- | guage of the prisoner to McEliresh, he might ad- | mit his testimony. | “That is a sound decision, worthy of your honor,” remarked the prisoner.” “Tf Thad plenty of money I could produce fifty men to swear that I was crazy as a loon on the 24 of July.” A WITNESS RULED OUT. Mr. Scoville then calied Dr. George M. Beard, of New York, to the stand. The prosecution at once desired to know for what purpose Dr. Beard was led. Mr. Scoville said he was to be examined | in sur-rebuttal. He proposed to propound to him the hypothetical question prepared by the presecu- tion. Atter some discussion an objection to the | testimony was made and sustained. Mr. Scoville | noted exceptions. Dr. Beard was then’ excused | from the stand. “We'll be happy to hear you, doctor, on some other day,” remarked Mr. Davidge. “We'll hear him on mesmerism,” observed the district attorney. GUITEAU WANTS TO GO HOME, “They have got no case,” sald the prisoner, re- ferring to the prosecution. “The best thing they can do ts to dismiss the indictment and go home. I want to go home.” ‘ME. SCOVILLE’S PROPOSITION. Mr. Scoville said he had a proposition to make; that was that Drs. Godding and Nichols, and Dr. Walker, president of the insane asylum superin- tendents, should be examined by the government without cross-examination. They were not paid tocome here, Mr. Scoville said, and were not called by either side. “They are beyond Corkhill’s money,” interjectea the prisoner. Mr. Scoville urged that, if it was a proper thing for the prosecution to do to leave it to Dr. Gray as to whether the prisoner should be placed on trial, first time that a great cause had taken a long time for trial. He referred to a case in Brooklyn some ye: aoe case In which no man’s life was at stake—in which the dist!nguished gentleman from New York had taken part, and which had required nearly six monthsin trial. He referred to the lack of means on the part of the defence to examine the cause. Mr. Scoville, he said, had borne the whole burden of the defence without. compensa- tion. He wasa hero. He ed the cou! name of justice and fairn t give the in the lefence | one more day in which this testimony could be put before the jury. He sald the verdict of the jury, which ever way it went, would be more satisfac: tory nthe court allowed this evidence to be sub- mitted, . ‘MR, DAVIDGE REPLIES. Mr. Davidge remarked that the defence desired to re-open the case for the production of no’ less than nine witnesses. Referring to-Dr. MacFarland, he urged that the evidence he proposed to give appeared to “b> based upon newspaperfeports. The defence, he s2id, had summoncd twenty ex- perts, not one of whom had been called to give heir opinions based on a examination of the prisoner. It was possible that men could be found whe Jad based tueir opinions on what they read.

So much opinion for so much mone; An officer in the dock having tried to quiet the prisoner, he cried out loudly: “I appear as my own counel, and I have a right to be heard.” Mr. Davidge stated that neither the opinion of Dr. Nichols or Dr. Godding could be of any assist- ance to the defence. The prosecution declined the offer or proposition made by Mr. Scoville how- ever, on tue ground that such a course would un- necessarily delayythe trial. “You are In great haste to close this case,” said the prisoner. Tie judge sald he did not feel that he had apy authority to interiere with Uhe matter. GUITEAU PROPOSES TO CLOSE THE CASE WITHOUT ARGUMENT. “If you men for the prosecution,” said the pris- oner, “want to submit this case without ment after this testimony ts in, I am with you. 1 don't want to argue this case, and I don’t want my counsci to argue it” ‘Westimony ef Chief of Secret Service Brooks. James J.

GUITEUA Gar “T suppose,” sald the prisoner when Mr. Davide finished, “it your honor please, that I shall be allowed to go on the stand and review certain things that have come out in this trial in sur- rebuttal, to wit: What Gen. Reynolds said; to wit: What Shaw sald; to wit: What Phelps sald.

Thatis the whole of it.” ADJOURNED TILL SATURDAY. After some discussion It was agreed to give the defence two dzys, and the trial was. adjourned until Saturday. GUITEAU AND JONI BROWN. One of the ancestors of John Brown, who was | executed at Charlestown, Va., in December, 1859, was a Miss Gitteau, a granddaughter of Dr. Fran- eis Gitteau, a physician who came over with the Huguenots and settled in Connecticut, From tals fact some have come to believe that mu is a relative of Join Brown, It appears, however, that the Dr, Francis @aiteau, the grandfather of the prisoner, was am Wentirely different person from he ancestor of John Brown. Both of them were Huguenots from France. They prob bly came to this country about the same time, and bly they may have come from the same stock. ‘The Dr. Guiteau, the prisoner's grandfather, settled near Utica, N.Y., and the other, a descendant of Whom married into the Brown family, settled at Woodbury, Conn. Besides the two’ physiclans named, there were othersof nearly the same name who settled in thts country in the last century, one branch, spelling the name lke the prisoner, 'set- ting tn the eastern part of Ohio, and another in South Carolina. The prisoner states that, as the Huguenots settled all along the coast, he 1s not surprised to learn of others of his name, ‘TRIAL NOTES. Guiteau, in an interview with a Star reporter Tecently, repeated his previous statements that the shooting of President Garfield was because of an irresistible pressure which he could not shake Off, and as soon as he fired the shot and reached the Jail he felt happy, for the pressure was taken off him. His impulse or pressure was to execute the Divine will, and he felt that the Deity would take care of him. For the time his free agency was destroyed and he was directly in the hands of the Deity. "He was in the hands of Deity now, and it wasa special providence which took the Presi- dent to Long Branch to die. If the jury convicted him the plea of jurisdiction could and would be successfully interposed. It was, he said, a special providence which had ‘vented the trial taking pan a ee ~ suthoettane of Sot Sete sey did not a: e case, for they did not want to get the Deity on them.’ He further. sald that he had not felt that there was any need of re- pentance for the act on his part, although he did feel sorry that the President suffered 60 much pain. —_—— Gey.

Deady, ju of the United States district court for the district of Oregon, de- livered last evening before the law school of the University of Georgetown a most able and tnte esting lecture on the subject of “Trial by Jury. ‘This distinctive and peculiar feature of our com- mon law the lecturer attributed to the Norman conquerers of England, and not to their Anglo Saxon predecessors, oredit of tts in~ troduction is usus ll dno proot Of its existence In England before the reizn of Wie Mam the Conquerer; though It seems to have been used ta Norway two hundred years before that period, and to have becn brought Urence by the Normans to Normandy, and frum Normandy to England.
