But About Fvery Shot He Madeat the Assassin Went to the Mark. Only a Very Short Session of the Court Held. onal Associated Press WasiiNeroy, January 23, - Gui- teau was clean shaven and wore new linen, As soon as he took his seat he said: **Yestorday I recoived sevoral hundred lotters, a wreat many from ladies and some of them very tende and 1 desire to express my |thanks for these tonder senti- ments and expressions 1 have recoived from American ladies.

Porfe this case at the instance President Arthur under a misapprehension. Porter does not represent the Ameri 1 people or the government in this He represents himself.” Porter then besan to addr jury. He appeared ill, and began with appareut effort. Scoville’s speech was full of deliberate misstatements and perversion of testimony. Guitean’s avgnment was the least objectionable of any wade by the defense. Guiteau should not now leave the dock until sentence of death is pronounced. He has been selfish from youth. His brutal instinets are equaled only by his love of notoriety. He has been i bezgar, hypocrite, canter, swindler, During the long arraignment Gui- teau pretendedto be reading, but often turned uneasily and attempted to off set what Porter said by sneeringly saying: “Ah! That was pretty. Do it over,” ete. Porter: “He agonized m prayer until ho nerved himself up to the mur- der.’ Guiteau: ““If you prayed more you would be a better man. You drink came on [ too much fine wine now. You wouldn’t be here but for the blood money.” Porter referred to the fact that Gu:- teau postponed the assassination when he saw Mrs. Garfield on the president’s arm, That was evidence of reason and conscience. Scovilie interrupted, charging mis- quotation. Davidge denounced the interrup- tion as the beginning of a system of studied offsets to the prosecution’s closing argument. The court sustained Davidge and ordered a cossation on the part of the defense of this running argument. Porter, alluding to the prisoner’s expectation of reward from the stal- warts, Guiteau said that he was the only man among the stalwarts re- maining unacquainted by Ar- thur and that Porter was after a ten thousand dollar fee. Porter sai *‘He wouldn’t be cquitted until h ©Oh, your gottit hill, and your record bad,” said Guiteau When Porter said Guiteau was the only man bad enough to shoot Gar field, the prisoner said there were many who wanted it done, but he was the only one who had nerve enough to do it, Porter said that no fu mensurate with the z and ability shown by Corkhill, and Guiteau said Corkhill got $7,000 a year, out of which he could pay his board biils, if he didn' spend 80 much money for wine and fancy women. Porter contended the expert testi mony all showed Guiteau was sane on July 2d, The court at 1:10 o’clock adjourned until to-morrow, when Porcer will re sume his spocch. Porter suid it would be absurd to render a verdict of acquittal after Guitcau himself had sworn he was guilty and that he had not scen a uewspaper that justified the act, and but one or two that doubted the pris oner's sanity. A row ensued as to Porter's right to make the last remark, he contend- ing he did it for the Zpurpose of con tradicting Guiteaw'’s” daily assertions to the jury that the American peole were on his side and public sentinent wus turning in his favor, The court upheld Porter's stand and at 1:10 1.
