It comes with great grace from the empire state, the grand state of the republic, that sends out all the commerce of the country. Tis a great step forward in the line Of the law of insanity. Heretofore the law lv been that the burden of proof rested on the de- | | fence, but the court of appeals of New York, in its magnantmnity, now decides that the burden of | root rests upon the prosecution to prove not only | he farts of the case, but the sanity of the defend- ant. In the name of justice, in the name of the Judiciary, and in the name of the American people, | J desire to thank those gentlemen in ue court of | appeals of New York.” { Mr. Scoville Resumes His Talk to the | Sur; Mr. Scoville, rising, resumed his remarks to the Jury, saying that he had hoped to close is speech before this. However, he hoped and if possible he should to-day relieve them from giving any fur- | ther attention to whathe had to say. He read from the testimony of Mr. George W. Adams, of ‘Tue EveNING Stan Publishing Company, OMicer Kearney and others, who described the scene at the depot at the time of the assassination. M’ ELFKESH AND THE PRISONER. In commenting upon Lieut. Eckloff's testimony, Mr. ‘Scoville referred to the fact stated In the testi- mony, that McElfresh and the prisoner held a whispered conversation at police headquarters after the arrest, which no one else had neard. That, Mr. Scoville said, was another instance to show why McEifresh should have been called to the stand. Ir there had been anything that could have been proved by Detactive McKitresh against this defendant, Mr. Scoville insisted, the prosecu- tion would have put himron the stand; when the defence desired to examine McElfresh ‘they were refused under the objection (potnting to the dis- trict attorney) of this man, who has alleged over and over again his disposition to afford a fair trial to tis defendant. “You could have called McEltresh,” said Mr. Davldge. ‘MR. SCOVILLE’S WARNING. “ff you question me too much, Brother Day- idge,” sald Mr. Scoville, with a warning gesture, “I will tell you why I did not call him, and why did not call other government employés whoknew about this case.” “Well, don’t scare us,” sald the district at- torney. | “I don’t intend to scare you,” retorted Mr. Sco- | ville. “Phere is nobody ‘scared on eituer side of | ‘the case.” Mr. Davidge called attention to the fact that Mr. Scoville had not read Senor Carmacho’s testimony. Mr. Scoville said he had read all that he desired. to call to the attention of the jury. “I don'tdoubt it,” interjected Mr. Davidge. ‘MR. DAVIDGE’S RETORT. Mr, Scoville continued that all he asked of the | Prosecution was that they should reach such tes- Umony as they desired without assuming to re- Peat what witnesses sald trom memory, as Mr.Da- vidge had done. “If Thad tour days I would have done it,” said Mr. Davldge, Mr. Scoville having finished the reading, sald the appearance of the prisoner, as testified by Wituesses, at the time of the act,’and the parts ulars of the act, filled exactly te general decrip- tion of acts of the Kind committed under insane delustons affored by the testimony of experts, He said there was nothing there to establish the assertion of sanity. TOO COOL FOR THE LADIES. After Mr. Scoville had been talking for some time, Guiteau interrupted lin, and sald: “If your | honor please. It 1s rather cool, with this window open.” He stopped a minut», and then added: “For these ladies around here.” An officer thereupon closed the window at Guiteau’s back. THE INSANITY PLEA, Mr. Scoville, after reviewing the act, and the letter to Gen. Sherman, asked if there was the least Indication there of the action of a sound mind. Mr, Scoville having quoted from the “Letter tothe White House” the words in which Guiteau sald he believed that President Garfield was a than here, asked where there could be found an instance of cold blooded murder where the assas- sin had uttered such a sentiment as this. ‘The case seemed so plain to him, Mr. Scoville said, that it seemed utterly useless to dwell upon it, ‘THE INSPIRATION THEORY, Tt was claimed, said Mr. Scoville, that up to the time of the interview between Gen. Reynolds and the prisoner he had never spoken of having an in- spiration or committing the act under a Divine pressure. How could the defence prove otherwise, when the prosecution had carefully suppressed every evidence showing what the prisoner had said before that time? He would not say that it was actually suppressed. When the question arose as to this part of the evidence he wanted the jury to meet it in their own minds by asking why the dis- trict attorney had not produced this testimony covering the first two weeks of the prisoner’s con- finement in jail. eee gentlemen,” said Mr. Sco- ville, Peers an noua re aos “And providentially,” inte ner, “Put ia that word providentially.” = , “Their witness Dr. Young,” continued Mr. Scoville, “has refuted this.” GUITEAU ON THE anaes OF THIS PROSECU- “The question of when I first claimed inspir- ation,” interrupted the prisoner, “was settled by the testimony of Mr. Brooks, who came to my cell at midnight on the 2d and again on the 8d of Pine I heel the een ein ee ene wo it.

CORKHILL AND MR. SCOVIILE HAVE A BOUT 4S TO THE MUTILATED LETTER. Mr. Corkhill having insisted that Mr. Scoville shouldé read the whole of Dr. Young’s testimony, Mr. Scoville said he was not going to do as the dis- trict attorney had done when he produced a letter written by the prisoner and cut off such portion of the letter as would tend to the benefit of the pris- oner, without ever vouchsafing any explanation of it. “It is such things as this in "said make Sp my mind that no person in tals: tei. make up my no person or out, counected with. these these 0 Mr. Scoville letter, Mr. Bal “Thats your conclu- sion; there’s no testimony to that effect.” GUITEAU’S ABUSE OF THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY. “The part that he cut out,” broke in the pris- oner, “was a friendly reference to Gen.

Noyes as he subsequently did the lamented Garfield.” ‘The prosecution, he | ow sald, had pot produced a stagie witness to si that’ this prisoner when in the Oneida Community committed a single immoral act, or made one im- moral suggestion.

Being corrected, he said, “a magistrate appointed. Washington is a queer place, Tadmit that. I hever got tnto sucha Place before, and I will get out of if as soon as I can.” Mr. Scoville satd the district attorney had unnecessarily insulted this witness by asking him it he had not been indicted. The witness had re- | plied, “I never have been and never expect to be,” “I had tried him here,” interrupted the district attorney, “and I knew.” Mr. Scoville said if Mr. Moss had committad per- Jury in swearing that he had not could be convicted of perjury. The district attorney iuterrapted and said he had looked the matter up and found that Moss had deen tried here onan appeal from the Poitce Court. SARCASTIC GUITEAU. Mr. Scoville having referred to Mr. Reed’s testi- mony regarding the law case in which he was op- posed by Guiteau.the prisoner interrupted, saying, sarcastically: “It didn’t require any brains to do that business, and that’s the reason I got the job.” Mr. Scoville argued that if the prisoner was a sane man he never would have denied what Mr. Reed had said, as It was In bis own interest. “If he had looke dat the thing as I would,” continued Mr. Scoville; “but I wont say that, for'some of the papers say Tam crazy—if he had’ looked at it as the district attorney would—” “Then he would haye looked at it properly said the district attorne “ We all know Corkhill is crazy,” eried out the prisoner. “If,” Mr. Scoville continued, “he had looked at this thing a he would have let Mr. Reed's evidence go uncontradictea.” Mr. Scoville gave it. as his oner had contradicted Mr. Rees Temember the facts, and he instanced the fact of his not remembering that he had given a certain letter to him (Mr. 8.) as proof that his memory was not unerring. the pris- ause he did not RECESS, At 12:35 Mr. Scoville asked for a recess of three- quarters of an hour. The court called him to the bench, and after a brief whispered conversation, the court said he would tuke a recess for three-quarters of an hour. After Recess. The court did not reconvene till 1:20 p. m. ‘When Judge Cox came in he was accompanied by Secretary Hunt, who took a seat with him on the bench.

GUITRAU AGAIN, Mr. Scoville remarked that it might be said Gui- teau’s motive was a desire to gain notoriety. “Idon’t care a snap about notoriety,” inter- Tupted the prisoner. “My motive was that the Lord put it upon me to do it, and I had to do it.” Mr. Scoville said he would defy Judge Porter, when he spoke, to show a case in history where a man had committed a murder simply to get noto- Tiety out of it, The Tr at one time cried Pag Yl “Porter: issick. I guess the Lord is attending to him.” Mr. Scoville Not Threugh Yet.
