WASIHNOTON , January i ! ( ) . Scovillo
resumed , saying ho would contbiohim-
sel during to dity to thu examination
of the testimony of thoo.xportaagainHt
the prisoner. Taking up that of Dr.
Hamilton , ho endeavored to show that
the witness was strongly inclined
against ( luituau ; that his answers to
( nicstions show an intense feeling to
make every sentence aid in hanging
the prisoner Scovillo proceeded to
ehow that Dr Hamilton's assertion
that Guiteau's head was symmetrical
was incorrect , and claimed adill'oreneo
of ! U cubic inches between the two
sides of his bead. Dr. Kompster'a
diagram of Ciuiteau's huad was no
more liku it than a cube.
Scoville was continually inter
rupted by the prosecution , who
objected to this line of ar
gument. Scoville ulfcimcd that
Hannlton'n testimony corroborated
the theory -of the prisoner's insanity.
When Suovillo referred to thu state
ment that the witness received pay
ment for fiia testimonyOnitean inter
rupted tlwt there was no money t <
pay them and they had bettor stayed
at homo. Concerning a disputed debt
of Sl.TongainsttJuituau , unearthed bj
Corkhill , Ouitean again interrupted ,
saying that if Corkhill was sued for all
hu owud it would keep nil the courts
in tbo city buoy. When Scovillo
compared ( juitoau's head with Corlc-
bill's , Gtiituau said Corkhill had a
swelled liend. | Great laughter. ]
Corkhiil , correcting alleged inisqu
tation of evidence by Scovillu , said :
"Don't inturfuro with Mr. Hcoville.
I am afraid ho will stop if you do.
Don't stop him for heaven's sake. "
Several jurors nlopt during Scovillo' *
tedious recital of export evidence.
After recess , Scovillo said hu would
not detain thu jury much longer and
argued that they should apply the law
maxim that it was better that nine
ty-nine men vscapu than that ono innocent
nocont man should suffer. If they
were uot entirely convinced Guitcau
was not guilty by rcbson orMmBoiimt
mind , they should give him thu bene
fit of the doubt. Scoville said inclosing
"If the abolished
closing : gallows were
ished there would bo more safety for
human lifo. Porter would undoubt
edly claim that the tact that Guituau
refrained trom shooting the president ,
when ho saw him with his nick wife
leaning on hia arm was proof he was
not acting under an irrcaistiblo im
pulse , but there may have been Hiilli-
cient human feeling left in d'liitumi's
heart to force him to say the Loid
can wait and the great act which God
requires of mo can be done at another
time. "
After Scovillu cloned the discussion
ensued regarding thojprisoncr's right
to address the jury , Corkhill with
drew his objections and ( iiiilvau will
occupy the attention of the court to-
morrow.
Scovillo closed as follows ; "All tliat
if required for the faithful administra
tion of justice in this case
is that you shall have honust hearts ,
calm , cool huads , and a disposition to
do what is right ; but above all , that
you have that moral courage , that
stability of character awl integrity of
purpose that , notwithstanding what
may be said , you will do what is just
and right between your fellownion
and in the sight of God. 1 do not
expect you to find for or against thiu
dcfundant. I simply auk you to take
the facts before yon into calm consid
eration , I : isk you to ask yourmilves
what will bo thu result of this verdiut
as to your position in Hociut.y , ns to
whether your frllowincn will ap
prove it ( ir not , us lo the
result in any way oicept
what you bcliuvo in your conscience
to bo just and right , that you uliiill
not bo influenced by any personal
motives , or by any motive oulsidu of
a desire to decide thu OIHU : according
to the law and thu evidence , and that
when yon havu reached a conclusion
in your minds according to the magni
tude of the case and what has been
presented before you , yon will rondir
that verdict without fear and without
favor and rowaid , and 1 bulievu , gen-
tleinen , you will do it. I leave thu
case with you , thanking you for your
careful attention , ' '
Whun Scoville concluded Corkhill
stated , on behalf of the prosecution ,
ho would withdraw all objections to
Guitoau's addressing the jury ; that
this trial hud been long and expensive
and hu did not desro to givu any op
portunity for objection upon which to

to assume , on the contrary , that they
would not convict an undoubted

Gnidwi said it would take about
two hours to deliver his speech ,
As Porter is in

decided Ouiteau should deliver the
speech to-morrow , and adjournment
bo taken till .Monday , whou if his
