Davidgo asked why'Scoville didlVio

Scovillo retorted that ho would enl
him and others and would tell why i
pushed.
Corkhill said : "Don't scare us. '
Scovillo retorted : "Nobody is scare
on either side at this sUigo of th
case. "
Scovillo urged that the appoaranci
ind conduct of Ouitoau iminediatcl ;
tftor the shooting was that of nn in
sane man , and should bo allowed t
demonstrate the fact.
Guitcau interrupted with spocchct
claiming such was. the case , and denouncing
nouncing the prosecution for bringini
u short-hand reporter into his eel
under disguise. Guiteau added tha
Porter had been sick for the past tw
or three days and ho hoped Providonc
would keep him sick , and that th
Lord would soon call him below an
then summon Corkhill.
Scovillo , referring to the inutilatio :
of Guiteau'n letter appealing to th
jury , said it was possible tor thoui t
arrest this tide of mob clamor and d
justice. Ho was present in the ens
only for this purpose , and not for th
sake of clearing the brother of hi

Recess.
After recess Scovillo said , aUhnuql
ho was disappointed in the testimon
given by Storra , still it tended t
prove Guitcau's insanity. Continuing
ho argued that Guitoau had no inotiv
for killing Garfiold. The act was the
of a man laboring under a delusion h
could n t resis There was no ov :
donco to show the prisoner had any i
will toward the president. Had h
harbored the ordinary feelinas c
rovoniro ho would have selected ( Main
as the victim , but he had nut th
slightest ill will toward cither Hlain
or the president. The only appareii
motive tor the crime was the love c
notoriety. The result , if ho was a san
man would be thai his name would li
ranked with that of .Indus Hit idt
wad to bo a public benefactor. Ou
teau was not u disappointed ollic
seeker. That theory was iuconsiiitoi
with the character of the man and tli
proof laid before the jury.
Scovillo spent the afternoon arguin
in this wiy : and will continue to-mui
row. It is rumored lie is talkin
against time for one or two object
either to retain < ihu floor until ho n
