TflK ULUK SAT1X HOOTS.
Tlioro was ti church fair and festival,
on liiuul, al Waynovillo; and all tho
younu; ladies woro in a state of feminine
Jluttor.
J'rotty, brown-nyod .fenny Carson had
ono of tlio fancy tables. Shu had also
a now dross for tho occasion. The soil,
nliiiiiue; folds of dark-blue silk wcru
draped over tho hod, and .Jenny was
kneeling upon tho Hour, and arranging
tho loons of Hiilin ribhon to lior tasto,
when Miss Hull Dorsoy, who was .Jenny's
most intitnato friend, burst into tho
room,
"Oh. what a protty dims, Jenny!
you'll look ravishing in it. You only
need a pair of blue satin boots, to match
it; and then you'll bo tho boat dressed
(,'irl at tho festival."
"Hut- satin boots arc very oxpon
hivc," said Joiiny, hositntiiiirly.
"Oh, well, tos somewhat, lint,
there's nothing 'seta oil' a lady's ap
pearance like nice shoos and gloves. I
heard Doctor Chester say ho never con
sidered a lady well dressed, if alio woro
ilMltting boots or gloves." And Miss
Holl complacently crossed her own
pretty 1'ronch kids, whilo Jenny nerv
ously put away tho pretty silk.
What. Doctor Chester Haid was be
inuitii; to be a matter of Homo moment
to Jenny Carson. Shu was conscious
of a loujriiii; for tho blue boots; but,
alas! tlioy were too expensive for her.
Miss Hell presentlv took hor leave;
and Jenny, with half her pleasure
spoiled, went on with hor preparations.
"Well, daughter," said her father, at,
iho dinner-table; " do you nood any fal
lals, for your frolio, to-morrow?"
" Yes. 1 do need soino now shoos,
and soino gloves," said .Jenny.
"You do. oh'1 Well, what must 1
fjivo ou, to buy them with?','
"Whatever you can spare, pana."
"Well, here's a ten-dollar 1)111. 1
guess that will bo enough, (let agood,
sensible pair of shoes, now: something
to keep you warm this cold weather,
and no lllmsy things. "
"Yos, sir." Thank you, papa. I'll
do tho best I can," says Miss Jenny.
Hut. she blushed; for, in hor heart, sho
folt very guilty.
Howo'vor, sho did moan to buy a pair
of warm kid boots, for overy-day wear,
Sho hoped to get tho blue ones for about
four dollars, which would loavo hor
enough for tho others, and for tho
glovos.
Hut, when sho stood in Turner's
storo and asked tho price of tho dainty,
shiny things ollorod her, tho clork
promptly answered: "Seven dollars,
Iiss Carson."
" Oh, dear! I was in hopes thoy woro
ehoat)," frankly confessed Jonny, lay
ing down tho boots.
" Indeed thoy tiro cheap." said Mr.
Wheoler. " I assure you. Mfss Carson,
wo havo sold theso right along at eight
dollars. This is tho last pair, so wo
oll'er them for loss. Thoy'ro vorv
lino."
"Yes," admitted Jenny.
"Nothing sets oil" a dainty foot like a
pair of theso fairy-liko boots," pursued
tho wily dork, with an oyo for his
trade. " Very fow young Initios could
wear so small a shoo just your size,
you see, Miss Carson."
Poor Jonny sighed; thought of tho
thick, warm boots sho ought to havo;
cast a longing look at tho blue beauties;
recalled what Dr. Chostor said; and
silly little puss! foronco let hor vanity
run away with hor reason.
"I'll take them," sho said. After
tho boots wuro paid for, thoro was bare
ly enough loft to buy hor glovos, and a
ribbon or two.
Tho next day, tho gfoat ono, was
clear and cold, with a sharp wind.
Overshoes would ruin the dainty, satin
boots; but, luckily for Jenny, tho
ground was dry. Hut, it was frozen
hard, and when sho reached tho gaily
decoratud room of tho now church, hor
foot woro liko iuo.
Jonny presided at ono of tho fancy
tables. Sho mado a lovoly picturo, in
tho beautiful bluo silk; her throat and
wrists shaded with softostlaco; and tho
dainty, bluo boots, iluttoringinandout,
bolow tho plaiting of hor skirt.
Holl Dorsoy was already at hor post;
and, as Jonny camo up, sho opimod hor
ovos wide, and exclaimed: " Oh, my!
lou bluo angol! Did you drop from
tho clouds?"
Jenny laughod; and happoning, just
thou, to catch a glanco from Dr. Ches-
tor, who stood near, blushod, with
j)loasuro, whilo tho gontlo heart in hor
bosom throbbed tutnultuously.
Jonny had a vory busy lay of it.
Thoro was much buying and soiling,
and Jonny's tablo was vory popular.
Hut, as tho now church was layjo, and
not yot linishod, it was not vory warm.
Tho girls at tho tablo woro chilly all
day, and by tho timo evening camo,
Jonny's foot woro so numb and cold,
that sho could hardly stand.
A hot supper, howover, had boon
prepared at the hotel just across tho
street. Dr. Chostor waited on Jenny
at tho tablo. (iliul onotigh was sho to
get something warm and no near a llro.
Hut, Dr, Chester, though kind and
polite, was not what ho had been. Ho
flcomcd strangely cold and distant; nnil
Jenny felt as if hor bright day was
spoiled. Hut girls know how to hldo
these things, and Jonny was tho gayest
of tho gay. Sho had to return to her
stall again immediately after supper:
and, oh! how sharply the cold struck
her as she stepped out into the night.
Dr. Chester left her at the door of t.
small room, designed for a vestry, bill
now used by tho ladies as a dressing
room. Jenny ran in to put oil' ho.
wraps; but, whilo doing this, heard hoi
imiiio spoken in the narrow passago
without.
" It's all settled, I suppose, Doc, bi
tweou vou and Miss Carson," was wha.
she hoard.
'No, Kred. I'vo seen tho folly of
that to-day." Tho tones which an
swered woro tho well-known tones ot
Dr. Chester.
"You astonish mo!" replied Kred.
" I don't mind giving you tho reason,
Kred," said tho doctor. "Just look at
that young lady's foot, and you will
havo it. In spito of this cold day, sho
wears nothing but a flimsy pair of bluo
silk shoos. L hum more than fancied
Miss Carson; 1 don't deny it. Hut, you
will see, at once, that a girl, who can
so utterly Hacriiico hor reason to hor
vanity, is not the wife forapoor, strug
gling doctor, with his fortune yet to
make. Hut. enough of this, hot's go
in. It's chilly hero."
Poor Jenny! Fortunately, there was
no ono in tho dressing-room but her
self. Sho How to tho furthest oud, and
hid her burning face on a pile of clonks.
Hut, after a brief struggle, she rallied.
It would nevor do to cry. It, would
never do to go to hor tablo with rod
oyes. It was a vorv erect, lirni-
mouthed, little lady, who walked to hor
nunc, presently; ami iuo nceis ot tlio
pretty bluo boots camo down upon the
Hoor, with a sharp, resolute little click;
for Miss Jenny had made up her mind
to do something ery odd.
'! I am a little fool." she said to her
self; "but I don't quite deserve to lose
a good man's opinion; and I won't
either, if 1 can help it."
It was late, before sho was ready to
go home. Just as sho was about to
start, Doctor Chester, who was hoi
escort, handed her a pair of overshoes,
saying, quietly, as if it were a matter of
course: "Miss Jenny, please put theso
on. It is Loo cold a uiirht for such thin
Hhoos, as 1 seo you wear."
Poor Jonnv! Her face was scarlet
with mortification. Sho mado out to
utter a confused "Thank vou," and put
on tho oll'euding overshoes, without
another word. Then sift) took the doc
tor's arm, and thoy went out together.
Jenny's heart was bunting so fust,
that it almost choked her. Hut, siio was
as determined as over. Heforo ten stops
had been taken, she said:
"Doctor Chester, do you think it
right, to condemn a person, for a singlo
f.uilt?"
"Certainly not." said tho doctor,
promptly.
"Then, why do you condemn mo?"
"I don't utulorslnnd you," said ho.
"I heard every word you said to
Kred Somors, to-night," rejoined Jon
ny, quietly.
"Miss Jennv!" Ho stopped, startled.
"I did. 1 don't blaino you, doctor.
I gavo you reason to think me only a
vain, silly girl. Hut, pleaso hear my
defense; and how sorry and ashamed I
am, won't you?" And then Jenny
mado her penitent, little confession,
ending with, "I don't know what ymi
think of mo, now; but, indeed"
"I think you tho dearest, bravest
little girl in "the world; nud 'Ms I who
am tho fool," eried tho doctor, ydeiit
ly. And then but then, 1 don't know,
that outsiders, like you and 1, reader,
havo any business to listen.
When Jonny got home, sho took oil
tho bluo boots", which had ho nearly cost
her a lover, and Hung them under her
wardrobe, saying:
"Lie there, you bluo wrotches! Hut,
you've taught me a good lesson. I've
done with you. I'll buy inv wedding
boots, before long; and they'll not be
bluo ones, either." I'dcrton's Maga

There was a much larger crowd lu the Crlin- ,
InnlCoutt-rooni on the 10th than on any day
Blnee the trial of Oulteau began. The prisoner '
came lu at 10:1-. drcscd in his usual manner,
and as he passed to ills seat ho was obliged to
pass dncetly betwuun Oeneral Swaim and
CoLuicI Itockwell. lie glanced hurriedly and
with ii irlghtcucd look at these Intimate

ness called was Ooorge 0. Mnynard. who lesti
lled that no had loaned Oulteau f at dlller
cut times, (iuileau objected to the evidence,
saying that Maynard was a good fellow and
ho owed hint the fit. In replv to u question
by the Court as to the object of the te-ttlmonv
the District Attorney said he Intended to
show that the la-t money bnriowcd was used
to purchase the pistol used by Ouiteau. The
witness further said thai Oulteau was weedy
looking and appeared hungry when he last lot
him have money, to whleh (iultcau responded
that lie was wcnriiu a 7usuit of clothes, and
there was notliliu seedy-looking about those,
and that lie had Im-cii well led ever since he
had been In Washington. If he looked hun
gry it was owing to mental anxiety. He had a
great weight upon his mind. The next witness
was .mini o .Me.irn, the man of whom
Oulteau purclia-od his pistol. He said ho
could nut Identity the pistol. Tho weapon
was handed to witie-ss and he was requested
to draw the foi.r remaining earirldgc. While
this was being done Ouiteau rc'iuostod of the
Court that he might ask Mr. John I). Town

quickly shouted. ' No, your Honor, we ac
knowledge the shooting, but not the killing."
Oeneral Sualm was called and testified to his
ns-iociaiion wlih the President during his ill
nos. He Mild lu replv to a ipntitlou bv the
District-Attorney tlmt the President s last
words were: "tdi JMvnunr Dr. D. W lilies
was called and gnc a narrative covering the
time fioin wlien he was called to the Presi
dent's side, tllteen or twenty minutes alterhe
was snot, until he die. I. The Immediate cause
of Ills death, he said, was hemorrhage. Dr.
Illi-s explained minutely as to the formation,
growth and thud rupture ol the sue toimed
on the artery whh h had been cut by tlio
bull. In answer to a iiucstion by Mr.
Scovllle Dr. llllss Mild he had been peisonally
icpiested by the I're.sidout to take charKOof
the ease. This was on iho :id ol July. The
plant Ity ot morphine administered was stated
by tho witness. He si'd, also, that tno wound
could not have been thotoughly probed,
even If the real track of the hall
had been known trom the llr.st. He said
he had discharged several of tlio physi
cians originally m attendance upon the
patient by .uithoritv of Iho President glieu In
the preseii. o of Mrs. Oarlield. He was asked
where the bill had been touiid. and replied
that all the viscera had been taken out and
placed in a bowl, and that the ball had been
tounil eneysied In ihiu bowl. Witness thou
explained minutely the character of the
wound, and detailed at great length
the piogiess and symptoms of the ease.
Throughout the cross-examination an
evident attempt was made by .Mr. eoviuo to
lay the louulatloii lor tho theory of mal
practice which Oulteau Insisted must be made
the lounilatiou-sioiieof the defense. Quite a
sensation was produced when the District-Attorney
suddenly drew from a pnstoboard box
a section of a human backbone, mid Dr. llllss
rccngnUcil It as a portion of the ertebra' of
the Into President. After recess Dr. Hcyburn
was tailed and testified that the wound was
nee sNinlv a mortal ono. A tedious and
long cross-examination followed. I'pnn Its
conclusion the District-Attorney asked If the
defense propo-eil to pursue the sanio course
ot examination with the rest of tho medical
witnesses, una upon tho delone replying!
"About the same, he announced tothei'ourt
that iho prosecution hail expected to close by
tilirhttall, but under the circumstances ho did
not think It advisable to introduce another
witness at that time. Oulteau horoattomptcd
to say something, when tho District-Attorney,
I bowing with mock gravity, tuld: "If 'Mr.' Out
' teau will permit me, 1 will move un adjourn-
aumiinnnwuiiiumnw mrigininiiiiiii n in'i'
ment." "Mr" Oulteau "permit ten." nndtho
Court adjourned.
The trial was resumed on the morning
ol tho IMat. (Jtilteau enmo as early as
nine o'clock, uttended by a body-guard of
eight mounted policemen. As ho descended
tho van ho showed evident nervousness, nud
while ho walked up the long opening lined on
either side with spectators his teeth chattered
with fear. Tho crowd about tho court-house
was three times greater than on any preced
ing day, and It was with tho greatest
dllllculty that those entitled to admis
sion could force their wny through the
corridors. t'pon being brought Into
court Oulteau ut once devoted himself to his
papeis, and, contrary to general expectation,
made no demonstration!! whateveror allusions
to the late attempt upon his life. Immediate
ly on the opening of court Mr. ltobliion arose
and criticised m sovoro terms tlm discourtesy
ot Mr. Scovllle. and asked to lie relieved of
further connection with the ca-e. He was
hero interrupted by Oulteau, who broke In
Willi: "Vour Honor, I want Itoblnson tostny
In." Continuing, Mr. Hobluson said lie could
not, with proper self-rcHpoet. remain In asso
ciation with Mr. Scovllle. Oulteau broke In
again and, with considerable warmth, said:
"'I hat's an able speech, and I agree with most
or It. If ho hail only made it Inst Monday
there never would have been any disturbance
between us." Mr. Scovlllo here tried to
pilot Oulteau, when ho retorted upon
him: Keen (pilot yourself. I'm talk
ing now. I Hympithi.o with Itoblu-
son, not with you (Scovllle) In the inat
torof malpractice. He has got tho truo Idea
of It." Mr. scovlllo tniulo a brief statement,
lu which ho deplored the disagreement, alter
which Judge Cox redeved Mr. Itoblnson from
further connection with tho (1(0110. Oulteau
then stated to the Court that he had Invited
Judge Miigrudor, Mr. Townsond. Mr.
Trude and Mr. Swett to assist in
his defense lie said ho desired the
record to show that he appeared as his own
counsel. He fin ther said his Idea of nuilprac
t co was this: " According to the physicians'
statements, the President was tint fatally shot
tlioi'ith ot July, ut the tlmo they made the
ollleial examination, and said he would re
cover. II ho was not latally shot tho 2otli of
July, wosiiv his death was caused bv mal
practice. Wo do not desire to press that, out
1 desire It to go on record lor tho court lu
bane If necessary- Mydeleue here Is that it
Is the Deity's net, and not mine; and J expect
He can take care or" it. He has taken euro ol It
very well so lar." itoblnson herelolt thocourt
room. The District-Attorney then called Drs.
Woodwind nnd l.ainb, who testified to the
character of the wound that It win a mortal
one. They also Identllied the ball which was
exhibited totho Jury as tho one they had taken
lrotn the body ot President Oarlield. Tho
prosecution then rested their case, and
Outteau asked permission to be heard In his
own behalf. ltetaliilug his scat, ho said:
" Vour Honor, I win not aware I was o.xpontcd
to speak this morning." Scovllle here leaned
over and whispered to him, when Oulteau
retorted sharply, and with Impatience: "I
won't stand up. I'm not a f rani to. how
ever, but I have only a moment to speak,
and will keep my seat. 1 do not care
to say more than was published last
Moudav In my address to the public. I pro
.Mtino the Jury all saw It. I have no set speech
to make. 1 appear as my own c nuisol and
my Idea is to miiKo corrections as wo go
along. Just as I have done the past three or
lour days. 1 don't mean any discourtesy
to any one. I only w ut to got at tho facts.
If mi) one savs I owe them .'tj, and 1 don't,
I will oeiiv it on the snot. My idea is to take
tilings when thoy aro hot. not let thorn got
cold mid sillier from misrepresentation, of
course I shall go on tho stand at tho proper
tlmo and be examined and crosvexamlned.
My Idea, however, is to meet a misstatement
when It is hut, instead of waiting to let tho
matter get digested and misunderstood. I
think the true way Is to interject my state
ments as the case proceeds. I have no set
speech to nuilv, but am much obliged to
your Honor and to my counsel tor the cour
tesy of thlstuv billion. ' Mr Scovlllo then ad
dressed the iury at considerable length.
Much, he sad. had been introduced in
evidence which, to his mind, should have no
bearing upon the ease. All men shared the
same opinion relative to tho suffering ot the
President. It was not pleasant to contemplate
theso things, and wh -n thoy woro pro
Honied to tho Jury thoy must evcrclse
, their Intlucnee. The only question, how
over, for the Jury to consider wits
whether the prisoner killed tho President,
and whether at the time he was in
such e mditioii mentally as to render him re
sponsible for the action. Tho Jury should
note carefully the expert witnesses, hearthelr
testimony, see how they stand examination
and cross-examination, and then come to the
best conclusion they could. Tho illllleultv
would come when the Jury came to weigh tho
evidence on both sides. The Jury should thou
consider the experts on the part of the Ooy
criiment being paid &lin or tiMO a (lav, and
that even these scientific men bave not
reached that height beyond passion and
i leellug, and lovo of money, that those

and thelrtestlinonv, If lu tnvor of tho prison-
i er. would expose them to condemnation and
ostracism lu the coiuuiiiuity wheroth'y lived.
, These were things to bo taken into considera
tion In weighing the export testimony. 1'opu-
i lar loellngagaiiw tho prisoner had been shown
' In three separate attacks upon his life, i he last
of them being eommeiide I by the newspapers
all over tin- country. That popular leollng
would also show It.-elf in the testi
mony of export witnesses. Ho con
trasted his own lnovpeiicnco lu criin-
I inal eases with tho experience and
ability of the counsel tor-t he prosecution, and.
lu view of this disparity, he asked the Jury to
1 be lonsldeiato nud candid to the deleuM'.
SHU, he did not ask for uny odds when It came
toipiestions of fact. Ileexp ctodthodetonso
1 would erect an Impregnable wall and I'm tress
1 whleh all the power ol the other side e mid not
shake. I r hoc one short in this, he knew ho
could rely confidently on tho Court's learning,
Integrity and sense of iustice. Without con
cluding Ids opening address, Mr. Scovlllo re-
, iiuesto I tie- Court to allow him iurthcrtlmo to
1 lliil-h to-morrow. This was granted, and the
Court iidiourned.
There was the usual crowd lu tho Criminal
Court-room on the ":'d. The proceedings be
gan with tho continuation of Mr. Seovillo's ar
gument. He called the attention ol the Jury
to the tact that, however linn might have been
the general opinion at first, time had led to
some cniuigu in tills and other communities.
People have bejjiiu to wonder whether or not
the prisoner was ot sound mind. No t woenses
of insanity were ever alike. There are Insane
persons who in e compelled bv an irresistible
torce to do wrong, and are unable to control
their actions, Another man might be no
such victim of Impulse; yet. If a man was
shown t be a monomaniac on any suhioct, or
to have been of unsound mind lu any particu
lar, those things must have tin ir weight with
the Jury, on the question as to whether
the prisoner win in control of himself when
the shooting was done, or whether he
would have done such a deed had he
been ol sound mind, he cited eases whore
men had been hung, notwithstanding a do
lense of insanity, and where a post-mortem
examination had revoaled unmistakable In
sanity. The pre-ont was the ease of a
nnui who lacked reasoning powor, who
knew what he wanted to do, but not how
to do it. He was not mad. nor crn.v, but
lacked reasoning faculties, starting with false
premises, and tried to nrguo from
them. Tho counsel did not Insist
Insanity was always hereditary, but It was tlio
uile rathe'- than tho exception, that where
there was a taint lu the blood Insanity was tho
i probable result. He argued that it was im
possible to separate tho mind from tho body,
and Just as wrong to punish a man for uinllni
matioiiof thebain as for malformation of a
toot or arm. Counsel thou proceeded to dis
cuss tho causes and evidence or Insanity. Tho
case was cited of an uhloan who attempted to
shoot Mr. Haves, and was subsequent Iv sent
to an Insane asylum, and It was shown that
although the man hud never been m Washing
ton he had a complete plan of t.ie Capitol.
1 his was td show thin insane po uile otten
plan out their subsequent work. Counsel
next considered the question of feigning In
sanity: andsiid ir the prisoner was feigning
he was not worthy the protection of the law.
Lxports were never unable to ilo'oct a really
in-ano man, but soino men 1 1 times wore able
to tool experts, in ordo- to do this a man
must have a knowledge ol insanity. Oulteau
has none. Yet the District-Attorney had Mild
I he was sauo and lelgnlug a part. Mr. Scovlllo
, then proceeded to discuss the instill-
Ity of members of Otilictiu's family.
He would show t ut his ' grand
father was iti'iiue, and tho taint ran
through tli" family. He cited family names,'
Martin Luther, A iridium, etc., to slmw n re
ligious mania. Al'o, one relative, with a xvcll-to-do
husband, had a mania that she was going
to tho poor-house. Another was a bright girl
up to fourteen years, and then beeunc Imbe
cile, and Is now In an asylum. Another died
Insane. Another was made Insane by love af
fairs, and the father of Giiitcnu had a mania
that he could never die, In which he was dis
appointed. Mr. Scovlllo went on to say that
the mother or defendant was, to say the least,
peculiar, nun that Just beforo Oulteau was
ooin siio tutu a severe sickucss: mid brain
Double, nud had to have her head
Phaved. Tho hair thus taken off would bo
shown lu court, Thus Oulteau was born. He
wai a bright boy, mid there was nothing wrong
about him, oxcopt, perhaps, nu Impediment
In hlsspeech. His fatherwliipped him for this;
but It did not destroy Iho mpedlment. Ho
outgrow it. Mr. Scovllle thou dor died the
history of the prisoner, how ho spent his tlmo
lu Irecport, copying deeds: went to Ann Ar
bor to school; round hlmscli unprepared and
worked hard at study and reading religious
books; how tho latter had a bad Inlluence, and
how ho finally went totho Oneida U immuni
ty: lived there live years, and wns fully Im
proved that their dnetrlno wns light, and
even expected to become the ruler or theso
believers In tho world. I hen ho went to Now
ork, ami, living on crackers nnd vvntor or
some other brain food, labored for inonths
unsuccessfully to start a religious papor.
Mr. Scovlllo then referred to Oult can's
return to Oncldn. us ir lu tho iulllll
ment of his wish to do what ho consid
ered to bo tho best thing to serve (led, ami
ho oilled attention to iho fact that the testi
mony for the detense would show that all
through his llt'o his great motive power
had been what ho thought tho Lord
wanted him to do. Finally he took
up law and was examined by
Mr. Heed, of C hlcugo, who asked throe ques
tions. Ouiteau answered two and was admit
ted to the bur. Ho was unsuccessful as a
lawyer, and collecting bad debts was Ills prin
cipal business. Whenever ho met another
lawyer In court ho lulled. At till point tho
Court tookashoit recess. After recess Mr.
Scovlllo resumed his remarks concerning his
client's life, and In thoeoursoof thetn used tho
expression mentally incompetent." Oulteau
trotted at the Imputation, and loudly ex
claimed: "Not tine, mid can't bo shown!"
During Mr. Seovlllo's speech Oulteau was
constantly Interrupting him, and often
told him plainly that ho lied. Mr.
Scovllle then proposed to lead n biiudlo
ol letters written by tho prisoner, dating bnek
to is.',s. as showing tho bentof Gulteau's mlmt.
Tlio District-Attorney objected, but tho Judge
allowed them to be read. Mr. Scovlllo then
lead the letters, most of them bolng addressed
to Mrs. Scovlllo, and some to hlm-olf. Those
of the earliest date ImS shownuthiiigpecul
iar, but giadiially they drift Into a religious
turn, quoting toxts or Scriptures, and appeal
ing to Ills sister to turn to Go I. This loaturo
ot them Is marked after ho hud gone to the
Oneida Cotumun ty, tho first letter from which
Is dated February, 18)11. In this ho lays
down and supports tho doctrines of tho
community. Tlio last letter from Oneida
was dated October, IPfli. and stated that his
views had chanced; that he desired to leave
tho community and go to New York to qualify
for a position in soino bank, and asking Seo
xllle to send him J5U. Mr. Scovllle explained
that ethers of the prisoner's letters had been
burned up in his ollico lu the Chicago tlio.
These letters happened to tie kopt at home.
'J ho uex' letters read woro from Now York
and Ilrooklyu lu Pf7 and 18f8. Thoro wore no
striking peculiarities In any of theso letters,
except where they dealt with religious sub
jects. The Com t then adjourned.
Tho attendance at tho Ci Imlnal Court on tho
S:kl was less than iistuil. Oulteau. while taking
brcaktast in the prisoners' room, expressed his
dissatisfaction that Jones, the man who shot
nt him. had been admitted to ball. When tho
Court opened Mr Scovlllo mado a foruiut re
quest lor the pajiois taken from Oulteau at
the timo of his arrest The District-Attorney
oilcred to furnish copies, but Mr. Scovllle in
sisted upon the originals. Pcndlngthedlseiis
sion, Oulteau said: "At the timo of my ar
rest I had iorty or lirt) editor al slips Miowlmr
the political situation in Ma and Juno last.
The.se slips show the action and ono of the
torces Unit impelled mo on to thei.
President. 'J hey are veiy Important
as showing tin- gist ot tho whole
matter. It was through living on such Ideas
as these that I was finally impelled to lire on
tho President with my Inspiiat on." Colonel
Corkhlll said if it would enable the defense to
get through that day ho would scud lor them
at once. During a tcinporaiy lull lu tho pro
ceedings Ouiteau said that on the preceding
day ho hud said that ho had dropped tho
"Julius" from lis naino because iho word
was too suggo-tlve of tho negro nu e. 'I his
prejudice was begotten twenty years ngo,
but ho meant no dlsrespeot to any person
or any iiiee particularly not to the col
ored race, for tho weio moro high
ly thought of thini the white race,
nowaday h. Mr. Scovlllo continued reading
Gulteau's lcttors during which tho prisoner
constantly Interjected lit- explanations and
comments. Mr Scoxllle alluded to Ouiteau's
career as a p lltii Ian. anddiow theconclusion
that he wasdeilcient lu Intellect. This conclu
sion Gulte n protested against. Whou Sco
viilo loferred to his running around trom one
committee to another seeking to bo emp oved
as a campaign speaker, Ouiteau shouted
angrily: "It wasti t because I had no abl Ity,
but 1 was not known. 1 hud Ideas, but not repu
tation. Iteferlng to Ouiteau's speech, en
titled "Oarlield vs. Hancock," Mr. Scovllle
Mild It was u mere jumble collated trom
speeches of others and newspapers, and no
one but a onuy man would have Imagined
that It wns n speech of mo. tt. Oulteau said
he objected to .-covillo's theory, and declared
that he was trying to make liliu out a fool. Ho
cunt lined: "I say tho Deity inspire I my act
and Ho will take care of it " The Court i om
niandcd the prisoner to keep (pilot, and Oult
eau sin sided, and .Mr. Seovilte concluded his
opening without further Interruption. At the
leqiiest of the District-Attorney tho witness
es lor the deionse, with tlio exception of
Mrs. t-covdle. wero xoluded trom tlm
court-room. Itev. , N ibmon testified that
lu is,, ho had listened to Gultcuu's lectuie

think Oulteau at that time win sufficiently
