Natlonal Associnted Press, ToN, January 20.—Scoville , saying he would confine him self during to day to the examination | of ‘the testimony of theexpertsagainst the prisoner. King up that of Dr, Hamilton, he endeavored to show that the witness was strongly inclined against Guiteau; that his answers to questions show an intenso feeling to mako every sentence aid in hanging the prisoner Scovillo proceeded to show that Dr Hamlton's assertion that Guiteau's head was symmetrical was incorrect, and claimed a diflorence of 3} cubic inches hetween the two sides of his head. Dr. Kempster's diagram of Guiteau's head was no more like it thana cube. Scoville was continually rupted by the prosecution, objected to this line of ar gument. coville claimed that Hamilton's testimony corroborated the theory of the prisoner's insanity. When Scoville referred to the state- ment that the witness received pay mont for his testimony, Guiteau inte rupted that there was no money to pay them and they had better stayed at home. Concorning a disputed debt of $1.70 sgainst Guitean, unearthed by Corkhill, Guiteau again interrupted, saying that if Corkhill was sued for all be owed it would keep all the eourts in the <ity busy.

Several jurors slept during Seoville's tedious recital of expert evidence. After rocess, Scoville said he would not detain the jury much longer and argued that they should apply the law maxim that it was better that nine- ty-nine men escape than that one in- nocent man should suffer. If they were not entirely convinced Guiteau was not guilty by reason of ‘unsound mind, they should give him the bene- fit of the doubt. Scoville said in closing: ““If the gallows were abol- ished there would be more safety for human life. Porter would undoubt. edly claim that the tact that Guiteau refrained trom shooting the president | when he saw him with his sick wife leaning on his arm was proof he was | not acting under an_irresistible im- pulso, but there may have been sufli | cient human feeling left in Gui | heart to force bim to say th | can wait and the great act wh requires of me can be done at another | time,"” After Scoville closed the discussion ensued regarding thefprisoner’s right to address the jury, Corkhill with- drew his objections and Guiteau will oceupy the attention of the court to morrow Scoville closed as follows: “All that iv required for the faithful administra- tion of justice in this case 11 have honest hearts, mter- who | nm not perfectly clear. cused any right ona point on which 1 1 shall thore fore allow the prisoner to apeak.” Guitean said it would take about two hours to deliver his spoech.
