Mr. Ingalis here rose and read from Mr, Beck's Speech on the tariff as follows: “I would promptly repeal the arrears of pensions act. It was con- ceived in sin an brought forth in iniquity. It is a fraud upon the American people and a standing monument to the ignorance, selfishness and cow- ardice of the American Congress.” He said that having introduced the measure, and having been chairman of the committee on pensions when It passed, he (Ingalls) proposed to give the Senator an oppcttunity to prove his allegations. His own belief was that the bill was just in principle, but had been misunderstood by the country.’ He therefore offered a resolution declaring that, in the opinion of the Senate, the act ought not to” be repealed Beck asked that the resolution Ile over to ¢nable him to present the proofs for his asser- ions.

THE CLOSING ARGUMENTS. ———— MR. DAVIDGE’S OPENING ADDRESS. THE QUESTION OF INSANITY DISCUSSED. ‘The Criminal Court room was crowded this morn- Ing, so uncomfortably that it required much moral suasion on the part of the bailiffs to keep the space in front of the jury box, where Mr. Davidge was to stand while addressing the jury, clear of spectators. Mr. Davidge, when he came in, carried @ large portfolio, filled with manuscripts. He Spent the time, before the opening of the court, walking up and down fn thts space,with his hands in Bis pockets, and occasionally bending over his table to consult his notes’ When the court was Tapped to order, at 10 o'clock, all of the counsel were present except Judge Porter, who arrived a few minutes later. The prisoner was brought in immediately. Mr. Davidge, who had taken a seat during the usual preliminary proceedings. then Tose, mide his obeisa nce to the court, and then be- gan addressing the jury. Mr. Davidge’s Argument. Hitherto, he sald, the jury had been listeners; the time had now come when they were to become actors. Whatever disorder and levity had char- acterized the trial there was but one sentiment re- Specting the conduct of the jury; all commended the dignity and patience of their deportinent. As they had merited commendation in the past, he did not doubt they would continue to merit it by their decision. THE ONLY QUESTION THAT OF INSANITY. The only question was whether the prisoner was insane or not. At the beginning of the triul an in- effectual attempt was made to attribute the death of the President to the maipractice of the phy Jans who had attended him; that attempt was short-lived, however, and now the single question remaining was that of insanity. In the trial many vague terms had crent m. ‘y had heard of crizy men; men off U.eir balance. ‘The medical experts, howe ver, had defined what insanity was. The law required but a sight degree of intelll- gence to make a man guilty of murder, ‘The court ‘ad spoken upon the question of malice, and had speken in no vague terms. Mr. Davidge then read € LWo instructions of the court. SPEAKING OF THE FIRST INSTRUCTION, preseribing the test of responsibility, Mr. Davldge said It was simply a rule of human nature that a man was not absolved from responstbility unless his reason is obliterated by disease. If a man knew what he was doing, and that It was wrdhg, no phrenzy, no passton, no dtsease of his moral na- ture, no belief, however profound, though he may reach the conclusion that the act !$ commnded by God, will afford any excuse whatever. The only excuse Ig (ise +se of the mind obliterating all sense of difference between right and wrong. ‘The de- ree Of reason necessary to make a man respoust le 1s Very limited indeed. A man may be wat is, called a crank, or even partially Insane, and yet be abundantly responsible for crime. What was the act committed here? Munter, murdef by lying in wait; what is commonly ¢ led ass issinatton. THE PRISONER RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS ACT OF ASSASSI- NATI What degree of intelligence was required to make a lawyer know that assassination ts contrary tothe law of the land? What degree of Intelli- gence is required to make a religious man know that th 1 stings edict had gone forth “Thou shalt do no murder?” He would regard the abso- lution of this prisoner trom responsiviiity tinti- mount to an Invit tion to every crack-brsihed per son to kill at pleasure. ‘This was the seat of cov ernment; the gre. t officers Sided here; was it too much tesav taut in tals me Uropolis, where political passion Was more likey ty be minttest than elsewhere, that aman o. tals degree of intelligence should ‘be hel resjonsible to the law? The defence had uot the hindiiond to say this man did not know what he was doing. Mr. Scoville, however, sali that this man did not know that tt Was wrong to commita murder. The prisoner, however, suid HE WAS XO FOOL, and he knew he was no fool He supplemented the defence by another—that he hod the degree of intelligence required by the law, but he was labor. ing under a special delusion or pressure that he Was commanded by Goi to slay. ‘The jury had, doubtless, observed that the prisoner had de- nounced Mr. Scoville as a fool and a jackass. He (Mr. Davidge) thought that what Mr. Scoville hid Gone was for the best. He dtd all that could be done, though Heaven knows that that all was not inuch, for he had not the materials at hand. The prisoner knew that he could not. run the giuntiet Of this trial as en iinbecile, but that his intellec tual nature would be stripped, g0 he had resort to 5 THE PLEA OF INSPIRATION. ‘The prisoner's position wae far more profound than that taken by Mr. Scoville, but yet equally untenable, Mr. Davidge safd the crime was mur- der, It was more than murder; it was THE MURDER OF THE HEAD OF THE NATION. One would suppose that a ruler of g republic such as we boast, in the simple majesty of his ofiice, would inspire respect equal to that inspired by either king or kalser, This man slain was great in council, great in field, and dear to the hearts of the people. In point of law the murder of one man was as great as the murder of another. When it comes to determining a man’s responsibility by his intellegence it 1s a matter of importance who it Was that was slain. The head of a great republic Was not to be treacherously shot down Ike a dog. ‘The crime Was political assassination now. WHO I8 THE PRISONER? In the beginning we did not know who he was, For awiitle he passed current as an imbecile. But he has been uncovered, In faét, he has uncovered himself. This man, represented in the opening Speech of Mr. Scoville as a weak imbecile, incapa- ble of coherent thought, is onéof the vilest of the human race; capable of gigantic schemes. Asa mere boy entering the Oneida Community, and there lawlessly wallowing in the filth of that Com- munity; then going to New York and endeavoring to establish the publication of a theocratic paper. Then he went to Chicago and undertook the Chicago Inter-Ocean enterprise. It has been shown that he isa man prone to all those great and daring undertakings that are so fascinaung to human egotism, and those having that pro- found love Of notoriety that distinguishes this prisoner. GUITEAU, A COMBINATION OF VULTURE AND WOLF. In respect to his intelligence, it cannot be doubted that he isa man of uncommon ability; nor can it be doubted that he has nerve and reso- lution enough to execute his conception, To sum up the man in a word, he has the daring eye the vulture combined with the heart of the wolf. THE PRISONER'S CAREER IN WASHINGTON REVIEWED. Mr. Davidge then reviewed the career of the prisoner after hts arrival here, to seek office. Not one of the persons who had seen him about the State department or the White House had been impressed, to the slightest degree, by the mental condition of the prisoner, Mr, Davidge laid much stress on the rebuff given the prisoner by Secre- tary Blaine, on the 14th of May, and the letter written by Guiteau to the President, on the 16th of May, denouncing the Secretary Of State. He reierred to the bitter political contention then existing, and sald the prisoner must have re- arded Lils chances of getting office of no account: e must have stopped to Unink thit he could gain more by uniting himself with the stalwarts. on the 18th this idea, he says, came to him while he ‘was in bed. The'ldea that came to him was: Tue death of the President will strengthen the st+l- Nart taction of the party. He might add, might secure from the prisoner’s corrupt standpoint at advantages to himself. Itseldom happened, in the case of crime, that they saw the germ of it: they saw its baleful fire, but it rarely happened that they could portray to twelve men the initial point, where THE DEVIL ENTERED THE MAN'S SOUI. ‘This prisoner saw that there was between the factions but asingle life, a slender partition. The thonght occurred to him: “Why should I not ex- See that little life, break down the partition, and become the great benefactor of the stalwart arty.” It was monstrous, hell-born, but before God, the truth. ‘That was ‘the conception of that night as he lay on his couch.

THE THREATENING LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT. Mr. Davidge next turned to the letter written by Guiteau to the Presitent on the 23d of May, ad- vising the removal of Secretary Blaine, and saying: “Otherwise you and the republican party will come to grief.” When he wrote that letter he was agitating the assissination in his mind. He got no answer to that letter. It made no particular impression upon Mr. Garfield. Subsequent events have thrown a lurid light upon it He went on thinking about it. “Praying about it,” said the prisonerM@™T want you to understand ‘thot if you prayed some you Would b> a better man than you are.” Mr. Davi ige sald he would allow him the benent of the praying; he would come by-and-by to tue prisoner's own ‘theory of inspiration.

All he wanted was to have the evi- dence stated correctly. ‘No tt ssn/t all you want, Mr. Scoville,” sald Mr. Davidge. “I know what you want.” Hi. Scoville having sat down, Mr, Davidge de- clared that the facts were in the evidenc Prisoner made two visits to the store of O’Me ra. e made inquiries for a pistol of the largest size and the surest aim.

Mr. Davidge described the prisoner lurking about the President's chureh, He then described the careiul preparations and the prisoner's visit to the jail. He did not fear the law; he feared that terrible mob. “It was enough to make an } American blush,” said Mr. Davidge, “that any men should resch a point. where he feared the | mob and defied the law. The desth of our head | and chief wotid not have happetfed had this | assassin feared the law; and you, gentlemen of | the jury, are called upon'to decide Whether a man Who contemplates such a murder need not fear the law, however much he may fear the populace.” “IT WILL HANG HIM IF IT BE TRUE.” Mr. Davidge read the address to the American People written by the prisoner on June 16th, two days before his intended removal of the Presi ient. ‘The prisoner referring to some of the political Uit-ranees In the address, sid: “Phat was true at the time it was written, sir.” tacit WU! hang him if sb be true,” replied Mr. Dav- de.

THE PRISONER, LIKE ALL BAD MEN, AFRAID OF THE Mon. | When arrested, like all bad men, he fs afraid of | the mob—which, after all, was but the outwand | ture. “Iam no mob man,” sald Mr. Davidge, “but | T never yet knew of amob, however much fepre- hended, that had not beh.id It the hizhest forms of ium in pission and huaian sentiment.” “I went to Jail.” said the prisoner, “to secure protection uutil { could have ahearlg. Ihave | had it now, and the p2ople are satistied.” The letter to Gen. Sherman, Mr. Davidge sald, had been delivered; woops had been sent to tn jall, and trom that tim» to this the prisoner had been under their protection. “There never has been a minute,” sald Mr.“ Davilze, “when* the sense of right and Justice of titts land, or any land, it allowed full vent, would not have torn this wretch to sbreds.” “You are saying all that for money,” interrupted the prisoner. “You don’t belleve a Word of 1.” Mr. Davidge having apologized for dwelling at | such Jength upon some of tne incidents of the | eriine— “I think you have been rather windy,” sald the prisoner. ‘THEY HAD HERE ALL THE ELEMENTS OF CRDIR. The man at the time he committed the crime, Mr. Daviige sald, saw far enough ahead to know | what would be of advantage to him when he was put on his trial They had here all the elements | of crime—the contemplation of crime, reason and reflection upon it, preparation for the act, and: | lastly, the element of insanity in his mind at the time, ‘intended to operate at the trial as his de- fencé. Keferriag to the defence that the intelli: | geuce of tis man was 80 meager that he did not | know the difference between right and wrong, Mr. Davidge sald Mr. Scoville had hot come out So in the beginning: he had held only that the prisoner was Illy balanced. Before he finished, Mr. Dav- Kige sald, he would show how sagactous the pris. oner was in adopting as his defence the theory of inspirstion. AU 11:55 a.m. the court took a recess forone hour. Mr. Davidge After Recess, When the court reassembled at 1:05 p.m., arid the prisoner had been brought in, Mr. Davidge resumed speaking. He s:id he thought sanity was shown by the conception of the crime, the preparation for it, Its execution, and the measures the pris- oner had taken for nis personal safety. He proceeded now to the first branch of the defence—to wit, that through disease of the brain this prisoner was unable to know the nature of the crime. It seemed almost a mock- ery to argue the question here. He wished, tn the future, when this man met his doom, that no man should be able to say that there was’ any question as to his guilt or the propriety of the punishment.

The experts told them that this collateral tus7n- ity could not throw any light upon the mental condition of this prisoner. The defence did not stop here; they undertook to show that the father Of this prisoner—an old man, who tn his old age enjoyed the rewards of an’ honorable and useful life—was insane. He did not think even the coun- sel for defence wouid say that there was anything Wrong about this old man; he was simpiy mis- taken In his religious belief. "He had more faith in Aimighity God Unan most men, TRIAL NOTES, Gu'teau ts still busily engaged in preparing the address to the jury which he hopes he will be al- lowed to deliver. “He told Mr. Reed yesterday that he expected to occupy a day or two in speaking. The prisoner sent for Mr. Reed, and had quite a Jong conversation with him In his cell, during which he told Mr. Reed: “The Lord will put the words into your mouth with which to convince the Jury, and I shall be acquitted. T have no money now, but I shall earn $100,000 within a mouti after this trial is over, and I will then give you $50,000.” Mr. Reed wilt follow Mr. Daviige.

THE PRISONER PECULIAR. There was a peculiar advantage in respect of the defence here. The prisoner was peculiar in his jmanner. His counsel, Mr. Scoville; had the sym- pathies of the community. Many persons of ms- thetic tastes had thought it would be a happy escape from a dilemma if it could be shown that is prisoner was insane. A 1: body of senti- ed Ry for whose opinion hehe speaker) 1 had le rope had gn ve inteaa ot it this prisoner ‘n Over over wretched would they have ever heard Mr. Scoville or any other man saying that he was in- sane?
