Wasninaton, November 30.— The special feature of the court room this morning was the unusual number of insanity experts present to observe the demeanor of *ho pr soner. Guiteau resumed tho witness stand, | identitiodfsoveral posters and program. mes relating to his leotures, and was | averse to continuing his testimony un less ho could finish the story of his connection with the Oneida “commun- ity firat Scoville insisted, however, on the witness answering the direct question, The substanca of the testimony was that Noyes was believed to ho the im- wediate prophet of God. Guiteau so considered him, and never got over his beliove, in the inspiration. He atill believed the Deity could inspire him to do any deed the same as Apos- tle Paul and Jesus Christ himsels, and that part of the Oneida idea in all right. ~ The effort to purchase the Chicago Tnter Ocean was purely world- ly, and had nothing to do with rehgion. Scovillo tried to refresh CGuiteau's memory about throwing a dog down staivs, but Guiteau said ho did not caro for a “puppy” incidont, and wanted to tell his stcry in o straight- forward manner, Scoville consented, and ho went on to say that the 850 overcont referred to yesterday cost him § purchased of a second-hand deal “Ingersoll claimed that there was no hell. I thought there was a hell” He went from town to town seliing his lectures where he was not allowed to speak. In Newark, N.

Tho two boc written by Guiteau were presented and despite the objection of the prosocu- tion Guiteau was allowed to read so- lections therofrom. Heo read a para- graph describing the preaching and abuse of the apostle Paul and said: “That's just the way I did.” Tl reading was suspended as Scoville pro- posed at the proper time to read other extracts. | Guiteau resumed his story. He said that he wrote lis campaign specch on the supposition that Grant would be nominated, and when Gar- field was nominated he had to change itall. Gen. Arthur had it printed. He undertook to deliver it at Pough- keepsie, but it rained and no one came, and at Saratoga it was too hot. He then sent it all over the country, and it was printed in some papers, He hadonly one assignment to speak for the national committ it was at Twenty-fifth strect, New York, and he only spoke & few minutes, as ho did not like tho crowd. He ve copies of his speech to the report. Ho was on frec and easy terms with Jowell, Arthur aud others. He gave sarficld a copy of the speech in New York on August 8th. Saw Garfield at tho White House and applied for the Paris consu Had no subse- quent_interview. Blaine f quently and urged his claims, Blaine was pleasant except the last time ho saw him, when Blaine said he nev would speuk to me on the subject again. Heo hurt his feelings and tried tosee Garfield, but failed. He wroto Garfiold many letters, but got no sat- isfaction. Ho was worried over the political situation and thought that the nution was going to grief. The newspapers had the samo idea. Guiteau here attempted to read newspaper extracts, but the prosecu- tion objucted. Guiteau said he wou!d like to refresh his momory. The court ruled that newspaper articles ¢ u'd not be used. | Guitean continued his recital. He| said one Wednesday night he went to | bed greatly depressed and final'y the thought came to him that if Garlild FLEVENTH YEAR | doseribed Jones' attompt to shoot him | sire was to i | war, and he now believed tho time | was removed ail would be well. By June Lat his wind wos fully made up that this was neeessary and the Lord | ingpired him to do the uct, becauso he had the brains and nerve, he thought the sime to-day. Ho believed also God iatended thus to advertise his book written to save souls. At this point Gu was very dramatic and emphasized with his fist. He had no doubt of the divinity of the inspiration and if God did not | intend himto do it He would hz.vv-’ interposed to provont the net. - Ho| had prayed Gud to interfere if his inspiration was not divine, He then passed to Lis jail expe- | rience, and complained that he was shut off from all reporter's but on who, he supposed, was a Herald man, but found out he was Colonel Cork- | hill's stenographer, Court then adjourned one hour for recess, | Mr. Scoville decided to_intro-| duce another witness, o that the cx amination could conclude and the wit- | ness be releas d. | The prosecution objocted, and Guiteau resumed the stand. He said | that threo times in his lifs he hud | claimed special inspiration, Ouce | when he went to the Ouneida commu- nity, once when attempting to esta) lish the Theocrat in New York, aud tio last time when he shot tho preei- nt. He had wonderful evidences of { report of ths | coin and bank notes, and checks and THE OMAHA DALY BEE God's care all aloi The Lord saved his life when he jumped from a train at Newnrk; also in the Narragansett disaster, and here in Washington | when they attempted to kill him.

Since ho had beon in Jail he had announced that ho was in search of a wife. There was no harm in that, he supposed Then fuilowed s squabble between counsel as to the adwmissability of cer- tain evidence showing the condition of tho prisoner's mind sinco the shooting, Judge Cox finally admit- tod it. Mr, Scovillo then questioned him on the lady question. He said that whilo 1n jail he had announced he was in rch of a wifo. “Was that asked Scoville, HOf courso it was. No harm i , is there?” was the prisoner's reply. '.h'mgn Porter conducted the cross examivation, and gave a long time for answers. Tn auswer to questions the prisoner related his experienco in tho law busine He said he had no bad habits. He never eountenanced shawms, Ho was a Christ Ho had gone through the ordeal of the Oncida com- muvity. Ho lad been wrongly re. ported as saying he was strictly virtu- ous there; tho fact was he had had to do with thiee women at Oneida; | there was no fun in that kind of thing, howe Ouatside of that he had been vir He refused to answer whether he determined to kill Garfield, He said he was the azent of the Deity in that matter. If lie had anything to say, he would not havo shot the president. Porter then questioned him closely, as to where ho had a law otlice, and how much he still owed for rentals, which 1csulted in showing he owed almost cvery one he dealt with During the cross-examination, Gui- tean, who was quite tired out by the long continued dircet examination and appeared very pale, ab first answered quictly but by and by became greatly excited, his eyes protruded and glistened, and he looked really crazy. In speaking of his persiatency he ac- cidentally said: “When I determine onanything I carry it .ant,”. There- upon Porter asked him: “You doter- mined to kill President Garfield, did you not?” ““I decline to answor,” he replied, and after a few moro questions ho flew into a rage and said: “T want it distinetly understood the Deity and 1 shot President Garfield. I was in- spired. It was no personal matter. If that act had been committed on my own account there is no punishment too great for me, but acting as 1 did, the agent of the Deity, I had to do it.

Tn answer to 2 question he denied any intention of removing Blaine. The prisoner in rather incoherent and wild times also said he had conceived the iden weeks before the shooting, but had never made up his mind untii the 23rd of June, He had undergone | a great conflict in his mind in which the will of the Deity finally prevailed. By 2:55 both the examiner and the examinod were worked up to white heat, and court adjourned till to- morro 1t is the general opinion here to- night the cross-examination resulted in little gain for cither side.
