COOK’S INFERENCE THAT THE SHOOTING OFTGAR- FIRLD WAS NOT THE INDIVIDUAL ACT OF GUITEAU. “The inference,” said Mr. Cook, “that I drew originally from all the facts and circumstances, and used the knowledge I had of the intense feeling that existed in connection with the star route cases, was that the shooting of the President was not the result of the individual action of Guiteau.

The Garfleld ad- | ministration had no confidence in Corkulll, and Mr, Bliss, when he came in, apparently contemplated the removal of Corkhill. Mr. Cook safd, fa explanation of the Information proceedings, that upon returning from a consulta- tion at Elberon he was surprised to learn that the grand jury had been adjourned, precluding the pos- sibility of proceeding by indictment at that time. “Who had the grand jury adjourned 2” asked Mr. Springer. athe district attorney, Corkhiliy” sald Mr. Cook, ‘and an adjournment so sudden ‘and fo time was wnusiial at that season of the ye “What did you find was the reasow for that sud- den adjournment?” asked Mr. Springer.

A. WEAK CASE SRLECTED. The case selected was not astrong one. Mr. Gib- son had prepared a thorough analysts of the case selected for trial which Gibson took to Elberon, and 1t was read in presence of Mr. MacVeagh, Bliss and others of the prosecution. ‘After 1t Was read Mr. Bliss turning to witness said, “Why, that case is weaker than I supposed. I don’t belleve there can be a conviction upon it.” Subsequently Bliss made the same declaration to witness and Gibson, but notwithstanding that case was pressed as the test case. Witness and Gibson prepared one or two other cases which they thought were strong and could be more successfully prosecuted than the one chosen by Bliss, but their advice in the matter was ignored. THE “HEAD DEVILS.” Mr. Milliken asked how Mr. Cook accounted for the weak case belng chosen. He replied that when he endeavored to direct, Bliss’ attention to other cases he (Bllss) replied that he intended to try Dor- sey first, (ia he and Boone were tho “head devi.” and he meant to prosecute them. Bliss, he said, manifested a bitter hostility to Dorsey, and witness thought that animus moved him t6 try the case against Dorsey first. That case was too complicated for any jury to understand. Being asked what his verdict, a8 a ‘would have Deen, witness sald he wo jresaid that the men were not proven ‘Cook declared that he never had the ¢' papers to his oni erat Pome a messenger and Heaurasl ty him immodhately.
