WastiNGToy, Januarg 19, —Guit i opened procecdings this moruning |y 1ealling attention to the New York offeet that in insanity eases the burdon of the proof resta with the prosecn tion, who must prove insanity affivnia tivoly rather than the defense prove insanity positively. Scoville resumed his address to th jury, prefacing with the remark that he would close to-day. He called at tention to the testimony of severl witnesses revarding the prisoner’s u; pearance and conduct at police head quarters immodiately aftor the shoot ing and the objection of the prosecn tion to the testimony of one of the ofticers who accompanied him to jail, concerning a whispered conversation with Detective McEltresh, which the officer could not overhear; the puos: cution refused to allow McElfresh to give evidence on that point and it was because they know it would not help their side. Davidge asked why Scoville didjnot call the witness v Scoville retorted that he would cll him and othors and would tell why if pushed, Corkhill said: “Don’t scare us.” . Scoville retorted: “‘Nobody isscared on either sido at this stage of the case, Scoville urged that the appearance and conduct of Guiteau immediately after the shooting was that of an ia- | sane man, and should be allowed to demonsttate the fact. Guiteau interrupted with speeches, claiming such was the case, and de- nulmcinghthe prosecution for bringing a short-hand reporter into his cell under disguise. Guiteau added that Porter had been sick for the past two or three days and he hoped Providence would keep him sick, and that the Lord would soon call him below and then summon Corkhill, Scoville, referring to the mutilation of Guiteau's letter appealing to the jury, said it was possible tor them to arrest this tide of mob clamor and do justice. He was present in the case only for this purpose, and not for the sake of clearing the brother of his wife or for any sentimental reason, Scoville referred to persons rushed_to! the scaffold, whose irresponsibility was subsequently demonstrated, and i commenting on the Oneida com- munity said it was a disgrace to the state, and it would be more justice if Guiteau had *shot Noyes instead of Garfield. o Recess. After recess Scoville said, although he was disanpointed in the testimony given by Storrs, still it tended to prove Guiteau's insanity. Continuing, he argued that Guiteau had no motive for kiling Garfield. The act was that of a man laboring under a delusion he could net resis.. There was no evi- dence to show the prisoner had any ill will toward the president. Had he harbored the ordmnary feelings of revenge he would have selected Blaine as the victim, but he had not the slightest ill will toward either Blaine or the president. The only apparent motive tor the crime was the love of notoriety. The result, if he was a sane man would be that his name would be ranked with that of Jud His idea to be a public_benefactor. Gui- teau was not a disappomted office secker. That theory was iuconsistont with the character of the man and the proof laid before the jury. Scoville spent the afternoon arguing in this way and will continue to-mor- row. It is rumored he is talking zainst time for one or two objects either to retaindhe floor until he re- ceives a full copy of the decision of the New York court of appeals, or to prevent a verdict by the jury beforo Monday next, in which case if the ver- dict is conviction, an uppeal will be taken and by going over one term postpone the execution until fall Court adjourned at 3:15 p. w. until to-morrow morning, It is understood Judge Cox will allow the prisoner to deliver his ad- dress to the jury if Scoville finishes in reasonabie time. e —— — The Cumberland.
