Trial ofGultvau.
On tho 25lh ult., the criminal court
was crowded, mostly by fashionable
ladies.
The prisoner, during thanksgiving,
obtaiucd time to prepare another
statement or speech, in which ho
said "All I want is absolute justice,
and I shall not permit any crooked
work. In attempiug to remove the
president I only dono what the pa
pers Baid ought to be done, but now
tho papers denounce mo for doing
the very thing they said ought to bo
doue. I waut the newspapers and
doctors who actually killed tho
president to share with me the odi
um of his death. If he had been
properly treated he would havo boen
alive to-day. It has been published
that I am in fear of death. It is
false. I havo always been a religious
man and an active worker for God."
Scoville and Corkhill had an ox
cited colloquy at this point, in refer
ence to a previous demand made by
Scoville for certain printed news
paper slips, which wero taken from
Guiteau at the timo of his arrest.
The controversy was finally settled,
and the dofense proceeded with the
examination of its witnesses, but be
fore a witness could bo proceeded
with the prisoner interrupted in an
excited manner abont his divorced
wife to bo used as a witness against
him, and that if she testified against
him "he would rip up her whole
record."
John A. Logan and two other wit
were called, but failed te respond.
After 6ome delay Mr. Scoville pro
ceeded with the examination of sev
eral wituesaes whoso testimony was
chiefly confiued to the history and
peculiar traits of mind of tho pris
oner and peculiarities of his father
and other members of the family.
The court adjourned.
On the meeting of tho court on
the 26th ult., the examination of wit
nesses wa proceeded with, aud
among tho witnesses examined was
John A. Logon, who gave it as his
opinion that thero was Borne de
raugemont in tho prisoner's mental
organization, but to what extent he
would not say.
During the day tho prisoner's sis
ter, Mrs. Scoville, was examined and
gave a partial biographical sketch of
the prisoner's life, and before con
cluding her testimony, the court ad
journed. Monday morning, 28th ult.,, the
court room was densely crowded,
and Mrs. Scovillo resumed her testi
mony. Somo sharp passages be
tween counsel as to the question,
occurred and her testimony in chief
was concluded, and cross examina
tion dispensed with to allow G. F.
Burroughs, of Chicago, to testify, as
he desired to leave the city. ThiB
witness gavo an opinion that the
tfwuii it . uuifehu, ufuider ui iue
prisoner, in his testimony, gave the
opinion that his brother was insane.
He had understood that his uncle
Abraham was insane and that his
nucle Francis William died in the
asylum. A number of witnesses
wero examined to-day developing
no new facts, and among others the
prisoner was examined to identify a
number of letters written by him to
his father, Mrs. Scoville, his brother,
J. W. Guiteau, and to Mr. Scoville.
Adjourned.
Tuesday morning, 29th ult., the
crowd in and about tho court was
greater than ever. As soon as court
was opened Guiteau was called to
the witness Btand and took a place,
closely watched and guarded by po
lice and court officers.
Mr. Scovillo asked him to givo
some incidents from bis earliest rec
ollection of his mother. The pris
oner replied that ho thought ho was
called as a witness to identify some
letters, and not as a regular witness ;
if the latter, he said, "I am not feel
ing woll and do not now wish to bo
subjected to across examination by
the coun&el for tho prosecution, as I
have a good deal to say and want to
go over the whole business carefully,
and I waut to be in good talking
cordilion." Tho court held that If
the witness went upon tho stand to
testify he must submit to be cross
examined, and if his examination
was begun it could not bo suspend
ed except by tho consent of counsel
on tho other aide. Aftor further
discussion Guiteau was removed to
tho witness stand and Scovillo pro
ceeded to read the letters, which
were not finished until noon after
which Scovillo began to question
him in rolation to his early life,
which tho prisoner answered
promptly. Ho then detailed his
newspaper enterprise and religious
experience, his lecture business and
his failtures, and down to whero he
trusted in tho Lord to take care of
him as ho was engaged in His ser
vice, aud that God was responsible
for his board bill. Ho was in the
busiuess to servo tho Lord and not
money. Ho considered that the
Lord's affair.
During tho timo of giving his tes
timony tho prisoner was closely
watchod by all the medical experts
present, and with great attention
and curiosity by every person in the
journed.
Nov. 30th. Notwithstanding the
rain, the crowd at the court room
iwas as great as yesterday. It ap-
rpears that his recital yesterday of his
expenenco as a religions tramp aud
dead-beat had created a great inter
est among the crowd in attendance.
The prisoner went on in detailing
incidents in his life in about tho
same manner ho did yesterday until
the subject of the shooting of the
President was introduced, when he
described his interviews with Blaine
aud Garfield at length in trying to
secure tho Paris consulship, and said
the party was at loggerheads and I
got very much worried over it. I
wrote several notes to the President,
telling him something must be done,
but the paid no attention to it. He
kept on worrying over tho political
situation, and knew this nation was
coming to griof. The prisoner then
said the inspiration under which bo
acted, was where a man's mind is
possession of by supreme power
where ho acts outside of himself.
Suddenly, on tho Wednesday eve
ning after Conkling's resignation,
he thought if Presidcut Garfield was
out of the way all would go well.
Ho tried to shake it off, but it grew.
In a fortnight's time it had be
come a fixed resolve. He had never
doubted, since that time, about the
first of July, that ho was inspired.
He prayed and prayed, asking
God if Garfield was not thus to
be removed, to get rid of him in
some other way. The removal was
necessary to save the nation from
ruin. No allusion was made by tho
witness to the immediate incidents
of the shooting. Ho said he believed
in special providences and has no
concern about his personal safety.
In response to the question, did you
not determine to murder Gen. Gar
field ? Tho prisoner replied, I decline
to answer that. That's a very strong
way bo put it. I considered myself
the agent of Deity. I had no per
sonal volition in the matter. I
never would have shot the President
on my own personal account. Deity
inspired tho act, and would take care
of it. I never entertained the idea
of murder. I ncvor had any con
ception of tho matter as murdor.
The cross examination was con
ducted by Judge Porter.
Tho prisoner bore the examination
with considerable self possession,
but occasionally becamo much ex
cited. Dec. 8th the trial was resumed,
bringing to tho court room the usual
throng.
After the prisoner referred to his
appeal for money, and inviting his
friends to send it in by the $10, or
$15, or $1,000, just as they wish,
Judge Portor commenced submit
ting to the prisoner interrogatories,
in quick succession, which in general
only had tho effect to elicit similar
responses as the prisoner gavo on
his examination in chief, until he
was closely pressed on facts that
might by possibility show a motive
for tho murderous act of shooting
the President, and then he manifest
ed great excitement aud became
boisterous, but his intellect seemed
met add xud nDrc,o'Oi-lWinvJA,thJf
law as any other man posted on
that anpject. When pressed hard,
he would refuse to answer Judge
Porter's questions, and say to him,
"You need not point your long fin
ger at me. Judge Porter. I've seen
you do that before, but you can't
scare mo."
The court adjourned without con
cluding the cross examination.
On the morning of the 2d iust., the
cross examination was resumed by
Judge Porter, which resulted in
little more than what was brought
out on previous examinations, and
the prisoner becoming terribly ex
cited and whenever pressed by the
cross examination would rofuse to
answer questions. He was asked
"whether ho was insauo at all ?" and
replied, "I am not an expert. Let
these experienced raon decide that.
Being pressed for his opinion, wit
ness docliued to answer.
The prisoner beiner prossed to
state what occurred on tho 2d of
July, said that when at the depot
July 2d he went to tho wator closot,
where he remained for some time.
Ho took out his pistol and wiped it.
When ho came out he saw Blaino
and Garfield in the most intimate
relations, engaged in close conver
sation. Ho shot twico at tho Presi
dent in tho back. Ho felt remorse
at tho deed, but his duty to Amori
can interests compelled him to do
it.
Here Judge Porter announced the
cross examination closed.
Scovillo resumed the ro-examina-tion
closed and the prisoner waB
removed to his seat behind the
couriBol.
Dr. Neal, of Ohio, stated that he
met Guiteau three or four years ago
thought ho was insano. Ho was not
an experf, and had never oxamined
the prisoueras to his responsibility
for crime. Court adjourned till to
morrow. Court mot on the morning of the
3d and tho interest in tho trial is
unabated.
Several witnesses wore examined,
but nothing of importance elicited,
except from Emory A. Storrs, of
Chicago, who testified tnat his im
pression was that Guiteau had an
illy-balanced mind, but that ho never
saw anything in Guiteau to indicate
that he could not distinguish be
tween right aud wrong, or that he
did not know the difference be
tween guilt and innocence, or that
he would not be responsible for
crime.
A number of other witnesses were
examined, ono of whom, Edward
Daniels, thought Guiteau crazy.
Court adjourned.

The question of tho speakership
for the next house of congress is ex
citing considerable interest. It ap
pears that Kasson, Kiefcr, Uiscock
and Reed are tho most prominent
candidates. The politicians are ever
on the alert to involve the President
aud obtain his influence in all con
tests for place about the capital, aud
indeed all over the couutry, but thus
far it is understood and admitted
that the President has shown his
good sense iu declining to take part.
The election of speaker is strictly a
duty devolving upon tho members
of tho house, and they alone are re
sponsible to their constituents for
its performance. True, tho Presi
dent for many reasons might prefer
the election of some one candidate,
but iu such a contest, where his own
official duties are not brought in
requisition, ho should ever decline
to ubo his influence as President to
promote tho success of any candi
date. Should the President continue
to strictly travel ou this line ho will
save himself from many bitter polit
ical bickerings in the futuro.
