telegraph raph to the herald WARM jan G scoville vilIe and reed tonight to night finished the preparation of the papers to be offered by the defense to the court for instructions to the tile jury there Ther therease eare are fourteen paes the main points raised are that legal testimony is whether the act done was the result of an insane delusion or committed under an influence or power which the accused could not resist resist by reason of b his is u un n soundness of mind that if the accused would not have done the act but for such insane delusions he be is not guilty of the crime charged against him jury have reason reasonable abl e doubts as to the i insanity m ity of the accused they should give him the benefits ortho of tho doubt that the jury may tal take o into account manifestations of feeling on the tile part of oatlie the witnesses that the jury have the right to consider the suppression of evidence on the part of the prosecution as raising in g tho the presumption that such evidence d ne if produced would be unfavorable to the prosecution that if it tho the jury believed beli evel tl the I e prisoner to be of sound mind but without malice in tile commission of the act they should render a verdict of manslaughter that the jury should find a verdict of not guilty upon the counts of the indictment representing the death of the president enfin in the district of columbia and alad that the knowledge that his act was contrary to law would not make the accused liable to punishment if he did it under an i insane asane delusion that it was commanded bv by god warden crocker says I think guiteau has appeared rather more serious and thoughtful within the past two or three days davs until quite e r recently the thong thought fit that he be lias ls been the central figure in public att attention antion has bas gratified ratified his vanity and intense egotism and overshadowed all other considerations lie ile is a wonderful sanguine man by disposition as is s shown 11 own all through his career by the arsi persistence stence with which lie has pursued certain plans or projects that most any other man would have abandoned as impracticable he ile undoubtedly exaggerated the state of public feeling feiling just prior to the tile shooting of the president and this vein in his mental composition led him to believe the stal stalwarts warts would stand between liim him and harm if ho be could succeed in bridging over the brief period during which he be might be exposed to the righteous indignation dig diF nation of an outraged public he lie has undoubtedly fod fed his hopes of acquittal u upon n this expectation of interposition to of some sort on the part of stalwarts Stal warts or of the president but I think he is beginning to realize that he be has overestimated over estimated his chances of assistance from this quarter and now that the trial is approaching its conclusion cl and the novelty of f Es his situation as the chief object of interest in connection with it is wearing off he realizes more clearly his true situation he ile gives no evidence as yet of despondency or breaking down lie ile is still sanguine that something will intervene to save him what seems to bo be the opinion of jail officials and attendants as to his sanity inquired the reporter there is but one opinion eaid faid gen crocker with emphasis there has bas not been a single act on his part du during r in the six months he has been lie here r e th that at would indicate insanity 11 II is deport deportment menti has been remarkably even no day lay varying from another he ile is polite in hia his manner wanner quick in liis his perception and ready speech he lie converses upon any topic of tile day RS s rationally as any man and will adhere to the subject under discuss discussion iob until the conversations turn naturally rally to conle some oilier topic I never knew know him to fly off on oil a tangent or give way to any outbreaks ho is a quick tempered roan man and sometimes shows temper if he thinks his liberties or rights are being abridged but I like i ko most quick tempered men his hi anger sancer is short lived and ind ho lie is as quick to get over it as to andule indulge ge in exhibitions of it altogether he is a singular man but he lie is by no means an insane man his sister seems to be the only human being who really cares what becomes of him or has exhibited any affection for him or solicitude for aar his lis future ire ile seems to ba be literally an outcast from human love and sympathy washington jan there have been no new developments in the gatea guiteau case judge cox is is i engaged in the preparation of his rulings upon law points davidge will then be ready to proceed at once with the opening argument for tile prosecution but it is thought an adjournment will be taken until until monday the prayers of the defense have bave been t the le subject of general discussion with the legal fraternity parti particularly aly the which sets forth if the tile jury ry r shall ball believe from evidence t the p prisoner i was of sound mind or not so insane as to bo be irresponsible for the act at tile ali time of the shooting of the president on the ad of july 1881 and that he then unla unlawfully frilly and wilfully but without malice in fact in the district of columbia shot at and thereby b injured the president of which shooting looting and injury in jury the person so in injured subsequently died in the state of new jersey Jeree yand and within the united states ithen then the prisoner is is guilty of the crime of inan manslaughter slaughter and the tile ju jury should so find it T this a is is looked upon agthe last resort of the defense the claim that aa as the shooting occurred in tho the district of columbia and the death in new jersey the crime is one of manslaughter in section 69 which says that if a person unlawfully and wilfully but without malice strikes stabs wounds or shoots at or otherwise injures another of which striking bt blabbing abbing wounding shooting or other injuries such other person dies cither either on land or
