Mr. Hcovlllo discussed al some length the demoralizing lutliieucuof tho scaf fold, and expressed his opinion that crimes would ho diminished by the abolition of capi tal punishment, llo then proceeded Co antici pate the argument of Judge l'orter, and to point nut to the Jury the fallacy of the argu ments which he f rudlotod Judge Porter would advance to support tho theory of the prosecu tion and to secure the hanging of Oulteait. In conclusion ho said: "It has often been said that our Jury trials are a farce, and I have in my practioo ireipieniiy nearu ii sunt Hint tho Jury system ought to bo i abolished because Juries make n mis- ' lake, because they are liilliteuced by the elo pieneo of advocates, because thoy are Influ enced, not by Justice, net by evidence, but by tho last addresH but, gentlemen, I thank find vihat there wuh a time when my Hnglish anccs tor stood up against wrong and Injustice, and I wrftol from n despot tho right of trial by Jury, and I have never yet seen tho time when 1 would wish to see that right abolished. 1 feel more secure and more safe In this mode of tho administration of Justice than In any other.

I leave the ease with you, gentlemen, thanking you ior your kiiki iiitoiiiiou. ng day Tin: Oulteait trial opened on tho morning of the llUli with a short speech from tho prisoner, complimenting the Now York Court of Ai peal upon Its alleged decision in rotation to the ipiostlon of Insanity, from which tho do I ense claim to derive soino comfort. Mr. Hco vlllo thuu resumed his argument ami attempt ed to show from the evldenco that, at the tlmoof 4h shooting, tho prisoner was porrectly calm nml cool, ami in condition, a regards nerve and Intellect, at variance with the hypothesis of satiltv under such circumstances. Ho com plained that the prosecution hud tailed to call Detectlvo MoKlfresh, whoso evidence would liavo been or service to the prisoner. Tho prla oner stilted that Judge Portor had been pre tending to lio sick tor two day., lie hoped It would be proNldcutlnl to keep him Hick, lie hoped tho i.or.1 would take him down tielow itilok ami then send for Oorkhlll. As Mr. Hco vlllo prooeivled Mr. Corkhlll niado frequent udo rreiiuent ,UiL' ln,.nff "r- rlet-Attornuy linn siigiuiiig comments until, nc tnted, ho turned uimn the DIM ami denounced his uiilalr conduct, and In stunced his production as evidence, a letter written by tho prisoner which ho (Corkhlll)htid tuteroontod and mutilated by cutting off tho signature ami such portions a.s lto thought might benellt tho prisoner, "n thing," said Mr. Hoovlllo, " which wa never before permitted in a court of Justice, not even upon tho trial of a civil suit." Mr. Hco vlllo continued mid said hi main desire In the defenso of the prisoner was not a considera tion for tin honor of tho family, but to save tho American Nation and tho American Judl cJary from tho disgrace or hurrying to the gal iUivh an Insane man. After recess Mr. Hoo vuio continued hi review of the evidence, and -.claimed that tho prisoner had been frank ami smtrpoken In till things, and that ho had eon yorsoa at tho Jail with everyone tho prosecu tion Hont there, and always without ro norvu. Had ho been sane, and playing a part, ho would not havo done so. Comment .Jjivpoii tho husoiico of motives, Mr. Hcovlllo ,ui: " You cannot tlndiin Instance In history, 'you cannot suppose a case, where a man forty yearn of age, who has never before committed ji crime, wno ha nover for an hour associated -with criminals or bad people, who; on the con trary, has always sought tho society, not only of tho better class of people, but of Christian itt'iiiiln! villi inimiiit emii'iil vo nf Hiinh n limn n committing such a crime without a motive: noimtig mil mo theory m insanity ; eau possibly account for such mi i net a Oulteau's." Mr. Hcovlllo then discussed tho assumption that Otilteau might havo boon actuated Ii) u desire tor revenge, and argued tho Improbability of such as Humption. from tho tact that If any ground lor Ill-will existed on Oulteau's part it wa agulnyt Heoretary Ulaine, and, according to tho Inexorable laws of tho mind, It would havo boon executed against him. "There cannot possibly bo shown," said Mr. Hcovlllo, ' any Ill-will on his part toward President Garfield." Mr. Hcovlllo next took up the hypothesis that the crime wa committed from an overpowering desire for notoriety, and claimed that history failed to point out a ease where such n crime was committed pure ly and simply from such u motive, and that It was Incompatible with reason nml Impossiiiio tor tho human mind to conceive such a motive as sutllolent to Induce any sane man to oominlt Hiieh a crlm, "That he killed tho President as a disappointed olllee-seeker la more than Improbable," said Mr. Hcovlllo; " for had ho brooded over some wrong of this kind something of his dlappolntment would ppi hi! have cropped out. Ho would have saldsnnto- thing In hi Intercourse wlfh other people In- dlcatlughls disappointment or bad temper on thosubjeot.

The claim of tho prisoner to be a praying man were next considered, and the hollow mockery of the claim shown. Mr. l'orter continued: "l'ubllo Justice demands that thoussassin should never leave the dock save In tho fhackles of a sen tenced felon, llo who spared no one should not 1m xpared. lie snared not the good (Jarllold; ho spared not the loving wife who had once saved her husband's life; he spared not tho little mother upon whoso lips had rested, on tho 4th of March la.it, the kissing lips which had Just before rested on tho book of Clod.

Alludlmr to tho prisoner's claim that he was constantly engaged In prayer, Judge l'orter asked: "What was lie praying for? Tho man who .,... -- ... . 'V'; ' V.V' :;."" V'."

On that occasion the President was surrounded by his Cabinet ami his friends. Ills son. not yet strong, tait who would have been urged at such a time with (lod-glven strength to defend his father, was also by his side, and tho assassin'. craven heart failed him, and he said: 'Not yet: at ing 1110 eh, oo il's ras (1. tho night when tho devil first whispered this crime in tno assassin s ear. lie laid In hiding In tho alloy.

This cnrotul man. careful of his own safety, made every provision, even to hi con veyance to Jail, and when ho had seen his victim fall, turned and ran." Judge Porter continued In this strain, refer ring to the prisoner's practicing on the river hank, to his vanity In selecting n white-handled nlstot with wlili'b tu i-iiiiiuitt th i-rliim tini'iitisii ft would boa more onspleuoin article In Ibo patent olllce, and more readily carry hi. nmno ' thundering down the ages," until the hour of ! mijouriuuoiit was rcnolicd, wnen the court ad journed for the day.

Judge l'orter resumed his argument, ami as serted that tho whole defense was a sham and an Imposture. He continued to depict tho character of tho prisoner and the fallacies of his defense. Tho llrst serious outbreak of the morning occurred when Judge Porter, advert ing to tue statement of tho prisoner's counsel and the reiterated assertions of the prisoner himself, that the notes of Stenographer llulloy were destroyed by the prosecution because thoy would havo bonollteil the dofeiiso, denied the right of tho defense to expect or demand to see lift papers prepared by tho prosecution solely for their own use. " Kuithormoro," said Judge Porter, "there was not con tained in thorn anything, iih assorted by tho defense, that would have Improved ineir Manning in ho was Interrupted by the case." Here Mr. Hcovlllo, who d..- inauded that the Court should stop counsel lroni making any such .statements a to Hie contents or papers which had not boon In evl- deuco before the Jury. Mr. Porter said he had ti right to deny statements ot the same charac ter made by tlio other sldo. Judge Cox thought the counsel had no right to make any state ment as to the contents of such papers. Judge Porter, with much feeling, protested that ho had been a practitioner longer than the Judge, and had never before heard such a ruling. He (Porter) was. of course, debarred from taking legal exception, but he must protest against the unfairness of the position, which would ad mit all sorts of statements from the prisoner and his counsel, and yet would debar the imMvoiitloii from nil opportunity of refutation. Sir. Heed, with considerable excitement' said: "If 1 were Judge 1 would put him under arrest. Hueh Insolence to tho Court should bo punished." Judge Porter resumed bis argument and dis cussed at considerable length the question of reasonable doubt as an element of defense of iusanlt'k Heterrlug to the oratorical Might of counsel for defense when he painted the Pres ident's widow at her dully pravor.. praying tor tho acquittal of the piisouer In the name of Justice, Judge Porter, In burning language, ' snowed up tno proiuuity and inconsistency or such assertions, and rebuked the assumption of the man who had never exchanged a wont witli Mrs. Garlleltl, In presuming to credit her wlth such monstrous sentiments. Judge Por- j tor denied the assumption of Iteed that Prosi-j dent tiiirlleld thought Outteau Insane, awl asserted that ho was Oarlleld s suct-cs- ' sor by tho same Constitutional force of legitimacy as was Oarlleld him.seir. Arterreees, Judge Porter said tho law bear ing on tho ease was supremo, and summed up the ouestlons involved in the ease as follows: I. Was the prisoner Insaneou the 2.1 or July r ' If ho was not, tho caso Is at an cud and your ' sworn duty Is ended, -. (If you reach that) if ho wa Insaneou that , day, was ho Insane to that degree that on tholM of July be did not know that murder was mor ally aim icgaiiy wrongr line was not insane to that degree, you are bound, under your oaths, to convict him. i. ir. in utter uisrogani or ins eoniession I under oath, you shall tlnd thut ho actually and lliilirmiy iietiuvi'ii iiiui uimi nun euinilluilui'M hint to kill President Oarlleld, mid that he was under that delusion, unless you tlnd tho fur ther fact that such delusion disabled him from knowing that such an net was morally and le gally wrong, you are bound, under your oaths, to convict him. 1. if you Und that such deliuiou did exist, I. . .. .....i. ...1... I t. I... and that find commandisl him to do the net, nml that such delusion wa. the wole product of Insanity, then, and then only, you ncipilt him. When you tlml he wa unablo to control hi own will, you must r.nieniber that under oath he ha sworn he wa able to control It, for he said: "Had Mid. (larlleld been with him lit the depot on the 2d of July, I would not have shot him." R. If you tlnd that, even though he wa par tially Insane, It resulted from his own malig nity, his own depravity, vctstlllyoiinrobotiHcl. under tho instructions of the Court, to convict him. 0. If, upon the whole ease, you have no rea sonable doubt whether he wa partially or wholly Insane; r you bellovo that his act wii legally ami morally wrong. yon nre, upon your oath, bound to coin let him. Judge Porter nad not concluded his remark. when the hour of adjournment was reached. Am t,Hi,'Ai., Otilteau made the opening speech when hi ease was called on tho morning of tholi'itb. Ho said hi sister had been doing some silly talking In Chicago. Hhe meant well, but she wa no lawyer. Judge Porter then n siimed lus argument, commenting upon the evidence of several witnesses anil showing In what respect it failed to sustain the theory of Insanity. During the progress nf this argu ment thii prisoner wa ahu.six e and applied the 'most Ignominious epithets to the speaker. Iteferrlng to the reference by Mr. Heed to Charlotte Corday, Judge Porter said It wa left to him (Iteed) to make the discovery ami to announce to tho world that she was Insane. Itehearslng the circumstance of her lire and death, Judge Porter contrasted her act of pa triotism with Ctilteau's foul murder. The prisoner was Intensely excited, and shout ed: "(lod Almlghtv will curse you, Por ter. Vou can't make the American people believe I'm not a patriot. I suffer in bonds as, a patriot, and (Sod will curse you If a hair of my head Is Injured," Pausing a moment, Judge Potter said: "Contrast the conduct of this vindictive, cowardly wretch with Charlotte Corday, who walked peacefully to the sea Hold, with her hands folded o er the cross upon her breast, nml a serene smile that denoted her will ingness to suffer death for her country and tho patriotism that instigated heraet." Next Judge Porter compared the prisoner to Wilkes llooth, ami showed tho latter to be almost u patriot compared with the cowardly assassin now on trial. "For llooth was actuated by a mistaken motive of patriotism, and was a man of man hood and umullncs. Hut this sneaking, cow ardly wretch could phut for his victim's death and his own safety at the same time, and mur dered hi man ltir rexeage and for notoriety." After continuing In this strain with constant Interruptions by the prisoner, and, sometimes, by his counsel, Judge Porter concluded his argument as follows. 'Cicntleiiien, tho time has come when I must close. The (lovern ment has in esented Its case before you, and we lumi endeavored to dlschiirirc our duty to the lll'.il III (Mil llllllll best of our ability. His Honor has endeavored to discharge hi.

I trust that the verdict will lie prompt, that it will represent the maje.-ty or the law, your Integrity u ml the hon or of the country, nml that this trial, which 'basso deeply Interc-dcd all nations of the I earth, may result In a warning tto reach all I lauds) that pollt.e.tl murder shall not be used ' a a means of nromntin? nnrtv ends or politi cal revolutions.

At 11:15 p. m. Judge Cox pree eded to deliver hlsehnrge to Hie Jury. Alter reciting the eni stltiitlonal irov slous in relation to trials by Jury, Judge Cox spoke of the great difficulties attending this trial b( cause of tho conduct of Hi'1 pr Honor. Koforring to the prisoner's oft repented l durations that public opinion was In h s favor, Judge Cox sual that there was no way to prevent theso deelurat ons except by the prows of gagging the defendant. He said that anything which had tieen said on either side In reference to public excitement or newspaper opinion was to be dlsregnrded by the Jury. The Court then explained the nature of the crime ehnrged, and said that, In or lor to constitute the crime, the assassin must havo a reasonably sane mind, An Irresponsibly Insane man could not commit murder. If he was mentally dcsvu.sod to that extent that he could net dftiugirish between right and wrong then the homicide was not murder.. In general terms the lnls ' ''' m'1 ',' i ?'"";i,tu"1 prisoner wa entitled to the benellt of all rea- dnuiiM as to tils condition. In conclu liroCox said: "And now. gentlemen. to sum tin all 1 have said t) voir. If vou tlml from the whole evidence that at tire tlmoof the commission of the homicide the prisoner was laboring under sucU detect of his reason as-to bo Incapable ot umierstaudlug what lie wa doing, or of seeing that It wa a wrong thing to no. us, iorexampie.il lie were under the insane delusion that the Almighty had commanded mm to do the act, tlietilie was not In a responsi ble condition of mind, bur. was nnobjeet of m pillion, and should now be acquitted.

Or If you tlml the prloonpr Is not guilty by reason or Insanity, it Is your duty tu say so. You will now retlm to your room and consider your verdict." Tho Jury retired and. after an absenen nr i twenty minutes, announced to the bnllitf in at- i tendance that an agreement hml been reached. I jtfi:;i.i tho Jury tiled slowly into the room, l'very sound was hushed save the voice of tho Clerk a. Jie propounded to the foreman the J usual inquiry: "Have you agreed upon a verdict?" Clear and dltlnut oiiiui. tho roplv: "We have." "What is your verdict -guilty or not guilty'" With equal distinct ness came the reply: "Guilty a. Indicted.'' i Then tho pent-up teellng of the crowd. found expression in unroar. demonstration. of ap plause ami Ippmvnl. "Order! urdnr!" shouted tho ballill. Mr. Hcovlllo and counsel , tor the prosecution were simultaneously i upon their loot. Mr. Hcovlllo attempted i to address tho Court, but Hit" District-Attorney shouted: "Walt till we havethe verdict complete ami in due lonuot lawv order wa at length restored, and tho Clerk, again ad dr sslng the Jury, said: "Your foiomuusuys, .Ouiltv a indicted.' Ho. siit we. nU of usV" " We do," all responded. Another demonstrn tlon of approval followed, this anmnluci'ment, but not so prolonged u tho llrst. Mr. Hcovlllo, stilt upon his teet demanded a. -joll of the Jury, which was grunted, mid eiudi juror wa dulled by name, and each. In u tlrm Mile., promptly responded: "Guilty I" As the last name wa called tho prisoner shrieked: My blood will bo upon the heads of that jurvl i Don't you forgot it." Hero Judge- Cox thanked tho Jury for the manner In which th y had per formed their millions duties, ami the court ad journed, thus ending- tho trial of thoussassin of President Oarlleld.

He said: " Yes, I have heard that since I left the court room. We thought ourselves, for awhile, that one man would stand out against all the others, hut It was onlv for a time. We didn't expiess.utiy opinions to each other during tho time, but I think we all knew pretty well what tho genernl feeling was." Helng asked to give some Idea as to how tho events of the trial Impressed the Jury, partic ularly the Interruptions of (iiilteau und tho sjieeehes, he said: "It wns all veiy tedious. '1 here was so much that was gone over and over again. The lawyers kept tclllug us day after day of tilings we were tired of hearing. We didn't mind Oulteau's Inter ruptions, and we understood that Judge Cox was giving him liberty so as not to have an other trial. Otilteau amused us sometimes. Ho took on at a terrible rate to-day, and gave Judge Porter a great deal of abuse. As to the sneeches, I think Judge Porter's Impressed the' Jury the most, hut then none of Urn Inwyersf speeches had any Influence with iia. Wc made up our minds from the evidence and from the Instruction. We listened to Scoville with Interest, lie did very well, and stood up for Gultoau manfully; hut he couldn't make anything out of the cure. Judge "C'ox's In structions were clear and to the point. There was no mistaking them." Mr. I.ongley was asked what his personal opinion of Otilteau was. He replied: "I think he Is a fanatic, but he Is morally rospon ivhlo for his actions. I have known lots of people who wore fanatics, and they Imagined all sorts of strange thing. Hut "they knew when they were doing what was wrong, ami were accountable for It. We heard a great deal about moral depravity during the trial, and about Illusions. I have met sonic wicked people, and they have had ull sorts of illu sions; hut If they killed a man I would have held them responsible. Otilteau may Imagine things, but our instruction were, If we thought he knew the nature of hlsaet, to bring him in guilty, und we did so." Mr. I.ongley was asked what effect the state ments made by Ouiteau that the press and public were on'hls side had Uxn the-jury, and answered: "They made no Impresslon'tipon us. Wc knew he was not telling thetruth any more than when he said be hud received a cheek for :J5,000." In conclusion, Mr. I.ongley said: "GuUeau's prophecies have not come out true. He Said that the Deity would clear him, If to do so would necessitate the taking away of a Jury man. We all lived, and we didn't clear hint. He wished for it, I have no doubt, but nmie of us died, although one or two of us were quite slek at times." .Mr. Longley al-o said that the. jury were very tired, after their ten. weeks of seclusion without books, papers or eonip.tiry, and for his part ho didn't want another such trial. Interviews have bcemhad with other jurors, and they tell similar storks.
