MII.tRV TALK. OP "Tim WOULD. "
Nr.w YORK , November 25. The
World this moining says , editorially :
"If Mr. Scovillo i * wise ho will goon
with the management of thu Cinitoau
defense without Buokiui ; tcrinvitoMr.
A. H. Trudo , of Chicago , to come to
his aid , and it. Might bo a good idea
for Air. Win. Ilonry Smith to lot up
on his daily ndvortixing of Mr.
Trudo throunh Hio Associated JPre.ss.
Mr. Trudo is a sharp practitioner of
the Tomb * or Old B.iiicy . school , but
hi'liuito his appcar.mco in a criminal
case has bur too fioquontly indicated
its desperation , ntfd , instead of win
ning u cause , his nimplo but tioniowlmt
monotonous practice is to hang the
jury. "

NKW YOHK , November 25. Speak
ing of tlio Guitoau trial in his Thanks
giving Rormoii , Henry \Vurd Beechor
fliiiJ : "Even the tri.il of that wretch ,
tardy aa U ii , has been a trial to the
spirit of thu people. It shows that a
government of h piiio enoous jjeoplo is
not , as has been said it must
bo , a government of passion. Men
waited and waited very long for
the process of organized justice and
with an assurance of Bocnruy that self
government ulono can give. This na
tion was grieved by that blow , but
not jarred. If it had been not only
the the president but the vico-presi-
dent and consjroja , it would have
boon the saraoevoii jf all the poli
ticians had boeri slain. [ Laughter , ]
Tho'government would have gone on.
Even out of this trial that appears
to bo going on at Washington
[ laughter ] - there should come a
bettor defined doctrine of the liberty
and responsibility of thoeo who nro
said to btj of unsound mind , and un
less there is some such outcome , nil-
leaf this doctrine could bo fixed and
liVnited very slurply , wo are destined
to know not what will bo the waste wf
life. Unices it linn this result this trial
will only have been a Hpectaclo of an
imbecile judga at one end of the com t ,
a vngr.mt crrninal at tbo other end ;
an idiotic c mrt trying to find out at
what point a murderer is ins mo.
[ Applause. ] Ho who ia sane enough
to oig.mizo the element of crime am' '
accomplish it is sane enough to bo
hanged. "
THE TRIAL-
OUITKAU'S APDHKS3.
WASHINGTON- , November 25. There
was the usual crowd in the court room
this morning , and the court , before
beginning tlio trial , warned those
present ag.iinst any expressions of-ap- '
proval or disipproval. ( > uitciu : was
then given a few minutes u > address
the coutt , and rend a paper peculiarly
-constructed , setting forth some of his a
ideas , He road in a dramatic and
somewhat eloquent manner.
There was a sharp tilt between Sco
villo and D.ividgo over the newspaper
-clippings found on Guitoau when ar
rested , which ended in Scovillo get
ting1 possession of the papers.
Gniteuu thonmndnn second speech ,
saying ho understood his divorced
wife was in court , and wanted it un [
derstood th.it if she came there to do
him harm ho would rip up her char-
acter. There wore Homo things inter
esting concerning her career in Phila- -
-dolphia.
Guitimi's statement made to the
court this imruini ; is a long , rambling
'document , in which ho Bays ho in
tends to have all the fncts RO before
the jury. For this ro-iBon he contin .
ually interrupted the counsel and wit
nesses , and was determined every fact
in his career biuring on the question
who lirod that shot , tliu Deity or
him , " should bo presented. Jlonco ,
everything connect id with his person
al and theological record must be de
veloped. Ho placed great stress on
the editorials in the nowjpapoRt last b <
Hprincr denouncing Chrliold for using .
patronage immicahlo to the
republican P rty and Bays
ho certainly novar would have shot
the president but for them , and they
could bear n just portion of the odium
nnd responsibility , n * should also the
doctors who actually ki'Jod ' him ; an ,
except for their ire.itnont liu would
bo nlivo to-day. 1 lo was not afraid of
death and w.n certain of his destiny ,
ni the Lord inspired tliu act a * ho did
in the ciso of Abr.ihim nnd scores of
other case * inontioned in tho. Uiblo.
Guitcau then paid particular attention
to the cranks , warning thorn to keep
away from him at the peril of instant
do.ith. Ho snid in the case of Jones ,
who fired at him lust H turdoy , he
would have boon shot do-id had not
tlie homos roared at the moment the
guurda allot at him , llo wkod only

shooting , and asked him why lie ( .hot
tlio president. Guitcau enid the Lor < ;
did it , usinjf him at His instrument.
The prisoner was incoherent , anil
struck his hands wildly against the
wall. Gtiiteau always nppouod sin
cere. This waa the limt indication ho
over haw of violence
In his cross-examination Hood
- , tes
tified that ho visited 'Uuitonu ' in the
cell at the requmt of Scovjlle. Ho
never coiUidorod him dangerous , and
did not think him incapable of judg
ing right Irciin wroni ; . Ueed denies
that lie had stated to Cork hill that ho
thought Guitoau of unsound mind but
responsible for crime. Ho sat by
Seovillo's side during tlio trial and
BUggeetod questions llo repeated
the a-st'i-tion thatGuiteau's attempt to
borrow money was four days before
thu allnciliny.
Guiteau interrupted : "That , was
false ; it was two months before. " fie
c uitiiiuod his interruptions until
Fudge Cox told him if he did not stop
! io would bo gagged. This silenced
"lim.
At 12:08 : p. nu no further witness
answered and recess for half an hour
was declared.
After recess the first witness was
Herman H. Kmerliog Ho know the
GtiitiMii family fourteen years in Freeport -
port , 111. The elder Guitcau always
believed doctors unnecessary and if
people believed in God they would
never die. On cross-examination the
witness acknowledged ho waa an inti-
ma e friend of the Scovillo and Gui
teau families and had written to a
Mr. Orloy. saying if ho gathered evi
dence of the peculiarities of the Gui
teau faroiJyJie wou'.d'bc ' ppjiacMl as .
a witness and would receive n re
muneration from the government.
On being further cross-examined
ho acknowledged he had actt-d
almost as consulting counsel in
the case , and had prepared a brief for
Scovillo on intamty. Be never know
the prisoner personally , but know his
father intimately.
The next witness w.is Thos. North ,
of Chicago , a former resident of Free-
port. Jlo testified as to the peculiari
ties of the older Guitoan , with whom
ho wan associated in official town busi
ness. Mr. North was cross examined
at great length concerning the pe
culiarities of tliu elder Guitcau , relat
ing an instance when ho commanded
a deceased dauuhtir in the nauio of (
Clirist , iid also a sick woman , ttiariBo
and walk in thu name of Christ.
Neither cumnunds were obeyed. Ho
was apparently aincere. The witnuaB
was asked if the prisoner resembled
his fatlicr. The prosecution objected ,
but the question was allowed , and the
witness eaid ho was an exact facsimile
of IIIH father.
In referring to the Hacrilicial belief
of the eldt-r Guitoau , Mr. North aaitl :
One evening in a public meeting , in
discussing troubles concerning a cer
tain son of a family , ho B.-iid : 'Take
knife and slay him as Abraham did
Isaac. ' Ho really meant just what ho
said. "
The witness continued his testimony
until . ' ! o'clock , when the court ad
journed.
Mrs. .Scoville will testify to-morrow ,
and poBsioly Guitoau.
"It is understood the defense bus
mbpoonaod ono of the government ox-
icrts who had made up his mind con-
irary to the expectation of Corfchill.
