During a fow moments waiting, Guiteau announced he wishod the newspaper critics in court to under- stand that he appeared in part as his own counsel, which was to prevent any silly stufl they wroto about him. C. 8. Joston, of New York, testi- fied he had considered Guiteau egotis- tical, erack brained, ete. John W. Guiteau, of Boston, broth- er of the prisoner, was the next wit- nees. Ho testified he was constantly with his brother up to the time he was ten years of age, when the family broke up by the death of their mother in 1868, The witness saw him in Chicago or - he left the Oneida community, He refused to pay debts he owed. Mr. Scoville and the witness thousht him either a fool or ¢ He after boarded with witness in New York but paid no board. At this point Guite say that he did pay his board. Guiteau’s brother testified furthor: He had frequent interviews with the prisoner in Washmgton; at first ho thouglit him dan: erous —subsequeatly harmless. G talked frecly of Chicago, He testified that was called but did Juiteau ibout the assassination; said he be- lieved Christ directed him to do it, and said he was willing to suffer for it; that the name of Guiteau would be honored in this world instead of be- ing ‘‘regarded as that of an assassin;” but when witness asked him whether he would prefer to-be--hanged.- by a court or shot by a mob, the prisoner became_violent, jumyed to his feet, ran behind a stand and said: I won't have either.” The witness, after that, had mno doubt of his insanity. At this point Scoville introduced the family bille to show that one [Francis Guiteau who was born in 1800 died in 1829 in the Blooming- dale insane asylum, Witness further examided, eaid he coneluded his brother was insane after reading certain lotters of his last month, written years ago. When asked if he had not stated to M. Javon, of Boston, that the act was one of “pure cusedness,” he said no, but believed his brother possessed of the devil and that prompted tho crime. Witness had stated to a friend in Bos- that he had mno doubt of his ther's responsibilitios beforo Gor nd believed him morally responsible and years ago had chosen evil rather than good. He did not express him- self as to the Jegal responsibility; had told Dr. Robbins he believed him entirely responsible, but pos- sessed an evil spirit. At this point the prisoner inter- rupted, saying that he and his brother bad been uniriendly for many years and that was the reason for unfavora- ble testimony. the cross-oxamination of John W Guiteau was continued rogarding lis uncle, Francis Quitean. He stated that he understood he was insanc and | his insanity was produced by fighting a duel about young Jady. Gluiteau, the assassin, was placed on the witness stand this morning, the sole object being that he might 1den tify a number of lotters, written by himselt to his fatherand others at va rious times in the past twenty pears ho prisoner, when his name was called, appeared agitated.

At 8 o'clock p. m., the examination of lettors having begn concluded, Scoville asked for am* adjournment. Tho prisoner seemet very anxious to get off the stand, and was very palo. He appeared considorably agi tated duringthe time he was on the stand. He was evidently gld to get out of the ecomt room, and was hurried down into atho basswent, his overcoat put on, handeufls adjust- od and ho was lod to the van, A large crowd had, ns usual, assembled and raisod » yoll after him as he stepped into the van and the guard hustled him down out of sight and bullet range.
