Concerning the publication in the Cincinnatl Gazette, Mr. Halstead (of the Cincinnatt Commer- cial) writes to Tux Stan: “Perhaps Mr. Richard Smith has a sense of re- lef. He has been in pain from the retention of the letter he has just given to the public. ‘There was a member of Congress from Ohio who nted, when Gartleld was a candidate for the >, that evidence existed he had been a parte ner with Donn Platt In the Moth Exterminator contract. Mr. Halstead declined to make any lication on the subject, as no proof was presented; ‘but when the id movement at Chi developing, he had an apprehension t idential eandldate the Moth contract be injurious, and wrote to Mr. Smnith on the sub- Ject, and subsequently sent him telegrams, ¢lving the hame of the Congressman who made the sccu- sation, with his alleged authority, suggesting that he had perhaps in his hurried letter overestimated the ble influence of the matter, that it might not be of importanee, and requesting that the let- ter be withheld. All’ this was before the day on which Garfield was nominated, and the telegraph- ‘was done before Smith got the letter. “There ts no information in the statement that Mr. Halstead antagonized Garfield, and was bit- terly opposed to naming him as 2 candidate at Chic: He thought the introduction there of a second Obio man opposed to the third term Would cause confusion and nominate Grant. This seems to have been a mistak id It mnay be Well to make the most of it, as it washever denied. Mr. Halstead did not originate charges against Garfield or consider that his acknowledged errors were criminal, and often said with absolutecandor that he believed Garfield, absorbed in public affairs and inexperienced in thé methods of busines; men, had been misused by some of his friends, but that he Was essentially sound—that the boyish integ- rity of his character had not been affected. “It was thoroughly consistent with this for Mr. Halstead to support Garfield as the republican leader against the solid southern party, and to support his administration against the sovereign state pretensions of Senator Conkling, to hold his public services in the highest estimat on and to re- cognize the irreparable loss the country sustained in his most untimely and melancholy death. “And Mr. Halstead says he would rather have the responsibility of writing such a letter as that to Smith in the exciting time of a great and critical iittcal convention, without personal mctive or feeling to prevent what he thought at the moment might be a disastrous blunder, than to publish it with calculating malice to make a little Sensation. “Mr. Smith has had a foolish notfon that this letter would be very destructive to Halstead, and he has been fussing about {t for a year, declaring that he had a dose of dynamite; but if’ the slight explosion should damage any one, Mr. Smith him- self will probably be found the only seriously wounded man.” ——_———_-e-_____ STEALING ABRAHAM LINCOLN’s HEAD AND GEN- ERAL JACKSON'S COAT-TAILS.—Mr. Clark Mills, the sculptor, while at the Police Court, Wednesday, os some boys for stealing 260 pounds ot ronze metal from his art foundry, including por- tions of the statues of prominent men, told a Star Teporter that about two years ago thieves stole Abraham Lincoln's head (a valuable casting) and shortly before that they stole Geueral Jackson’s coat-tatls from the statue which has since been erected in Tennessee, —>—___ CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT FROM AN ORDER WITH 4 Lone Nawe.—Philip B.

Mr. Scoville was on hand early ready to open the fitth day of his ‘The court was called to order af 107 ‘fhe prisoner when he « it was impos seripts in hishand. The district attorney was the only one of the prosecuting counsel present at the opening of the court. Mr, Scoville, taking his note book, resumed hits address, LAYING OUT HIS PROGRAM FOR THE DAY. He sald he should endesvor to-day to confine himself exclusively to the brought out in the evidence of the expert witn without making any digresstons. Speaking first of Dr. Hamilton, he said he considered him as one of the men who had shown an inclination te color his testimony to make tt as damaging us possible agatust tie pris- oner. MR. SCOVILLE ON DR. HAMILTON, Mr. Scoville quoted from the testimony of Dr. Hamilton, alleging that when he thought he was teiling something against the prisoner he added unnecessary adjectives and expletives, just to in- tensify his utterances, thereby betraying a destre and intention of striking as hard a blow at the pris- oner as he could. He would show, he sald, not only that this strong, expressive language indicated the feeling of the witness, but that that feeling had led him beyond the trath. He pointed out 17 instances in wo paces of Dr. iamiton’s testimony where uhat ges Scoville said, were the footprints that showed the bent of the Witness’ mind.’ Mr. Scoville sald he would accept as correct the diigrams presented in testimony by Dr. Hamilton showing the shape of the prisoner’s head. Mr. Scoville exhibited these diagrams. He sald tt was not often that one could apply mathematics to people's opinions, but in this euse they could apply mathematics and demon- Strate that the witness had falsitied. MR. CORKHILL OBJECTS. Mr. Scoville produced a paper and was about to demonstrate something when Mr. Corkhill asked whose testimony that was, Mr. Scoville said It was the testimony of arithmetic'and algebra. Mr. Corkhill again objected. “Your speech is bad enough,” he said, “but your testifying is worse.” “Well, Iam doing the best Lcan, Colonel,” re- plied Mr. Scoville. THE COURT DECIDES THAT MR. SCOVILLE CAN GO ON. An appeal being taken to the court Judge Cox Said he thought the counsel had a right to inake ineasurements of the diagrams, Mr. Scoville then contended that a measurement of Dr. Hamilton's diagrams showed an excess of 2x4 Inches on one side. Mr. Scoville, taking w k Mills’ plaster model of the prisoner's head, explained his remarks with its ald. He held that Dr. Hamilton in making his circumferential mea- surement had curefully avoided the regularity in cue nerd noticed by Dr. Spitzka and had measured low ‘MR. CORKHILL’S HEAD. Mr. Scoville said he would show that Dr. Kemp- ster's representation of the shape of the district attorney's head was incorfect, if Col. Corkhill would let him measure his head. The district attorney having remarked that he had not time, Mr. Scoville observed: “His head is in evidence he says.” “No, I didn’t,” réplied Mr. Corkhtll. “Well, if tt 1s In evidence,” sald Mr. Scoville, “I sual ask the privilege of makiog a measurement of it.” Mr, Scoville sald he had been led to suppose that Dr. Kempster had actually gone out and made these 8. Mr. Corsbill insisted thet Dr. Kempster had made no such representation as that. DIVERSE DIAGKAMS, Mr. Scoville taking Dr. Kempster’s diagram ot Gutteau’s head, exhibited a diagram showlag that Dr. Hami!ton’s diagram and Dr. Kempster’s din- gram did not agree. 1. Corkhill looking at the diagram sald: “That like some of Dr. Spitz'sa’s work.” , sir,” said Mr. Scoville, “Dr. Spitzka had nothing todo with it. My trtend, Col. Corihill,has ‘some way. One would think he was haunted by his name.” GUITEAU SAYS THE ATTORNEY GENERAL HAS NO MONEY TO PAY THR EXPERTS. Mr. Scoville, after reviewing the evidence of Dr. Hamilton at considerably lengtia, read hat part of the evidence where he said he expected pay for his services, when the prisoner satd: “I believe the Attorney General hasn’t got any money to pay these fellows with. They will have to get a special act of Congress. He had better have staid in New York and attended to his business.” ME. SCOVILLE AND GUITEAU BOTH ATTACK MR. CORE- HILL. Mr. Corkhill having made an interruption in ex- planation of Dr. Ham!!ton’s evidence, Mr. Scoville sald: “I object to Col. Corkhtll’s testifying as he did yesterday in the case of that man Moss. If he does, I will testify too, and shcw how he came to have a feeling against Moss; how he was sued for $3 for servant hire, and Moss gave a judgement against him. I have the racord of the ease. It shows that there were $1.10 costs,” and he add turning to the district attorney, “You pald it, too,” “It Corkhill was to be sued,” called out the pris- oner, “it would take all the courts in the city to do the business.” Mr. Scoville, commenting upon Dr. Kempster’s testimony, called attention to the fact that when he asked him to point out the head of one man in the room whose head was sa much out of propor- tion as the prisoner's, Dr. Ker x had not re- ee “Ir,” said Mr. Scoville, “Re had peas to e district attorney’s head, ‘any one, by merely looking at the district attorney,could have con- tradicted him.” 4 “He has a swelled head,” shouted the prisoner, raising @ laugh at the expense of the district at- torney. ‘MR. DAVIDGE SARCASTIC. ‘Mr. Corkhill having interrupted Mr. Scoville when he was calling in question something Mr. Davidge had said, Mr. Davidge, who had arrived and taken his seat at the prosecution table, sald: “Now don’t interfere with Mr. Scoville; Iam afraid he will stop if you do.” GUITEAU’S SANITY. ‘While Mr. Scoville was examining his notes to find his place, the prisoner spoke up, saying:—“It is reported in the papers that I spent three weeks val ‘h that was published Mfondsy.” as a mutter of fiets 1 odly speut tree days on it,ofandon, Iwant the record straight on that.” MR. SCOVILLE TURNS HIS ATTENTION TO DR. GRAY, Mr Scoville, taking up Dr. Gray’s testimony,com- pared the table submitted by Dr. Gray tn evidence ‘with one in one of his annual reports, and claimed that they contradicted each other. He charged that the onesubmitted by Dr. ig Br ahaa especially for th!s prosecution. “That shows the honesty of this a Oe Gray,” said Mr. Scoville, “who came here with a well great, vi in DE @ said he su; District Attorney Corda ppv make it out a case of devilish eae is no authority om the devil,” broke in ‘RECESS.

Guiteau Assaults an Officer. -As the prisoner was being taken out he stonped to speak to Mr. Scoville, when Bailiff Tall at- tempted to shove him along. Gutteau turned an- gtily and said to Tall: “Behave yourself.” “Come, come,” said Tail impatienuy, trying to push the prisoner. mune “Let_me alone,” shouted the pi Tall having appited some “pressire” to Guiteot mer. your own business.”” the latter hauled off with his manucled hands and almed a savage biow at the ofiicer. He was thereupon seized by the officers and hurried out f the court room. WHAT CAPT.

SCOVILLE’S TALK AFTER RECES: When the court reconvened at 1 o'clock Mr. Sco- ville resumed speaking. He said ff he shou!d attempt to potntout the Inconsisten tes of the testl- mony he ‘could ocer r attention a week m to sant shalr prisoner fn ra of longer. He had dev however, nob to occlipy their time much longer. The laws of the ouutry, he sald, were made for sane people. The Jaw was not inte ed to be exect unless the oft der W: ot sound mind. Mr, Seovi elt at upon the question of law, as applied the insane. THS QUESTION OF REASONADLE DOUBT, Mr. Scovilie satd, ninely Int-rposed to save whom tiey might not consci should be punished, P: wwided by law Was hot intended to gratity Pr hws insti- tited for the protectioa of life, liberty aud proj ntiouwsly thins MR. SCOVILLE AGAINST HANGING. The constant presentation before the public of any crime leads the people to accept {t a8 a com- mon thing—as a thing not to bedreaded. When hanging was common for minor offences In Eng- land, tnen cared little for han; they were in- differentto death. They could not keep before the public mind any exhibit! of a ree! Tor huraan life without biunting the of the enormity of the net. He thouzht they ought to stop to consider whether hanging wes the best uunishment. ‘There was not a un in the United States that is hung where there ts not some iipres- oii that goes out from the gallows, that finds a responsive chord somewhere, and leads to the comminsion of another crime,’ He believed if the gallows were abolished they would have more Safety of human life. “THE LORD CAN WAIT.” He knew Judge Porter would argue that because the prisoner had stayed his hand when the Prest- dent's sick wife was hanging upon his arm, he was not dominated by an uncontroilable impulse. If they held that the mind was diseased, thay could not account for its spasmodic and uncertain a: tion. So far as this delusion pervaded the prison- er’s mind, it was, uccoriing to his (Mr. 8.) mind, a controlling delusion. Still there may have been Something that touched his pity, and he said, “Not now. ‘The Lord can watt.” Again, when he followed the President to Mr. Blaine’s house, he satd he had not, shot the Presi dent then becduse he did not feal like it. He (Mr. Scoville) thought all these things indicated insan- ity. It had often been said that JURY TRIALS WERE PARCES. He had often heard tsald that juries should be abolished, because their verdicts were influenced not by right and justice, but by the eloquence of the last address. He had, however, never yet seen aday when he had not thanked God that there was a time when the people stood up and wrested the right of trial by jury from the king. Thongh juries were liable to err, still when they collected tozether 12 citizens, he felt more safe than tn any other mole of adjudication upon human rights. ‘They should be safe in the juries of the country solong as they were well inten- tioned and honest. ‘They should have a calm de- termination and the moral courage to do what was right. He did not ask them to find for or against the prisoner; but todo what they believed to be just and right; t be influenced by no personal mo- tives; and when they had reached a conclusion that they sho@id announce it without fear or favor. ‘MR. SCOVILLE CLOSES. “T leave the case with you gentlemen,” said Mr. Scoville, “thanking you for your careful atten - tion.” Mr. Corkhill Withdraws His Objection to Guiteau Addressing the Jury. Mr. Corkhill rising called attention to what had been said about the prisoner's making an address tothe jury. He said he had objected to it because jhe believed it was a prepared panto- mime; that counsel for defence wanted it delivered before they spoke so that they cou'd comment upon it.

REED'S COMMENT. Mr. Reed, starting up, sald he desired to protest against the district attorney saying that he with- drew objection, because he wants no error in this, record; assuming that the jury would hang this lunatic. Such an insinuation, he said, was an un- worthy one. “It is worthy of Corkhlll,” interrupted the pris- oner. “T do not belleve that that jury,” continued Mr. Reed, “will gend an undoubted Tuliatic to the gal- low: GUITEAU AGREES WITH MR.

I do not agree with Mr. Reed.” Judge Cox Rules that the Privoner Can Speak. Judge Cox said he found that some of his breth- ren of the bench bad doubts as to whether the prisoner could be deprived of the privilege of speaking. He had some views on it himself, and he would permit him to speak. GUITEAU DECLINES TO SPEAK UNTIL TO-MOREOW MORNING. to speak this afternoon.

AS TO THE PRESS. ‘Mrs. Gage remarked that she had a ietter calling attention to a mistvpresentation by the press, but she would not read it, for suc had been a member y would have a co-< responsibilities. The press had given t reports, and in its crowded condition t not expect the lengtuy reports they m: wise have. WOMAN THE WEAKER VESSET. The next subject discussed was a communica- tion based on the assertion that ali governments Test on force, and woman, being the weaker vessels she should remain tke subject. Mrs. Gage pro- ceeded to answer this by showing what women had done, both in anclent and modera times, not- ing the services of Miss Carroll in planning ue cuinpalgn which had prought Gen, Grant into notice. "While Grant had had honors hes him, Miss Carroll's services have not been rv nizett by even granting her a pension. What. w England before Elizabeth ascended ‘the turouc? It had been a second-rate nation, but rapidly cae first-class. Thus It was with Russia. Fr: Mn classed all the kings and queens of Europe idiots, except old Catharine in Russia. Mrs. G: claimed that although her great grandson hi name of emancipating the serfs, Catharine realiy | should have that honor. Then in the late war there was scarcely a regiment in which som: woman did not enter and serve. Some even went into the navy. WOMAN'S INFLUENCE OVER HER CHILDREN. ‘The next subject was a suggestion that women might accomplish all they desired by their influ. ence over their man children. Mrs. Gage sald that it should be remembered that women do not own their children, and in but two st«tes—Loulsiana and California—and one territcry—Dakota—have women even joint ownership in the homestead. In her state, New York, under the laws a father, though a miner, could will away an waborn bade. She claimed that woman should retain her name, and she believed that woman should be the head of the family. MRS.LOCK WOOD'S ADVICE TO A HEN-PECKED HUSBAND. Mr. Lockwood sald that she was like the balauce wheel on the tricycle, and came here to set her sistersright. She clained that man was not re- sponsible for all the wrongs, for when sbe left here yesterday she was walled upou by aman, With tears ta his eye, who sild: “My wife has put me out of doors. “What shall T de?” [Langhter.] She replied: “You are the head of Uh G in again.” But remembering,she 0 Tented the house, and finding that the wie did, she ad- vised the man to rent a room and fx up agetn.and he said he belleved he would. She was not fght- ing for women, but for men and women. MRS. LOCKWOOD ON &T. PAUL AND OTHER MATTERS. ‘Much had been sald of St. Paul, sald Mrs. Lock- wood. She had read the scriptures seven times, and was free to say that she did not belleve some | of the remarks attributed to him, and would not until she bad a certified copy of the siort-hand porter’s notes. She did not know whether he was a married man or not; whether he had one or more wives, for those were partriarchal thines. [A voice.—It is now conceded that he was married.) WOMEN AS JURORS. Mrs. Lockwood then took up the question: “Sup- pose a woman, with a young baby, was drawn on a jury? What would she do!” Mrs. Lockwood said: “Why justthe same as the old man if he had ayoung baby.” (Laughter.] When men are drawn, ont fury, and cannot serve, they are excused. Ttshould be remembered that there were, perha 100,000 women in this country who never hada baby, and never will have one, and jurors could be obtained from them. And it should be remembered that there were many women whose children are out of the way. Mrs. Lockwood urged them to work, and said that she was xfraid that the prayers of some of the women were like those of some Christians who pray with nothought of their being answered. She had faith in prayer. When they went to the polls they should pray with faith that their prayers would be answered, and work. She urged them to accept suffrage as to shooi matters, for this was an entering wi Her bill for admission of women to the bar had proved an entering wedge, and she referred to the retusil of Judge Gray to admita woman in Boston. Judge Gray was how on the bench of the Supreme Court of the United States, where he will have to hear women.
