feel bound i if f he be was a candidate at the Nati national convention to assist him thata the way they do in politics judge and filyes the way politicians get on you tickle me I tickle you question did you write president garfield a letter marked private in which you said I intend ex expressing Dressin tle sympathy lor for you on oil account of the pressure that hag has been on oil you since you

i n I considered him my personal fri friend I sympathize with any president who lias has this enormous horde of ollice at his throat threat at tho the time those letters were ere written iliad I biad not the bligh lightest test conception of removing the president if you want 10 to bring those letters against me that were written at a time when I had bad not the slightest conception of removing ahe president then you are trying to do what vou you cant do banging the railing tho prisoner being asked liow how many times lie bad iliad spoken to conkling in the street answered I met him once on the street lie me was exceedingly cee cordial bowed and said how do you oil doar Guite guiteau auT I was on good vod relations with ith all those men during march and april porter slowly and with great deliberation did senator conkling prisoner interrupting oh dont look so fierce at me I dont care a snap of my iny finger for you porter but you will answer my questions I prisoner put your

you will find them tho the prisoner was questioned about the inspiration of his ills suc suggestion stion to garfield that lie would succeed himself in ho ile replied in a resolute tone I decline to

was the man i for me to have shot what possible i ill will could I have against gar field blaine was the man mail to have been shot ae according cording to your theory I my getting or not riot getting the office had nothing to do with it whatever it only shows liow low absurd andion theory is if garfield had paid respect to those letters it would have been all right I did lie do de he went and ind sold himself soul and body to blaine ho ile I j appreciate the sentiment and kindness of those letters but allowed blaine to usurp tho the presidency to destroy str Gran tand conkling on n ll 11 G did i y you bay a y to president garfield that he ie would ul d have hilve ni no pence till lie got rid of blaine prisoner yes and that was alie way th alie stalwart and diberal papers allover all over

preceding never to speak to him again on the paris consulship the prisoner ner excitedly I told you oll that irad had nothing to dovith do with the aaris paris e consulate I want to ram that into you and put it down deep laughter I am talking now about national politics and not about miserable office and isyou if you would try to get your brains to take that in it would be better I am not a disappointed office seeker in the course of further examination he lie eaid said in relation to the time of the murder the deity seemed to be on my side and every one against me ine but the there was a great de deal I better feeling towards me than there VM was two or three years year s ago ao a O some of these bitter crank papers have been toning down wonderfully for the last three or four weeks what they want is change of heart they wandew want cui r sion they want new ideas about t ii a presidents removal nothing but A change of heart will satisfy their d thirst for blood it ia not likely ly the deity will satisfy them in th ili r thirst for foi blood they begin to M a it too and they will see it more and awl more the prisoner having th belief that the lie deity protected him from the day dav iio lie shot the president to this day porter paid said it dap depends 1118 more mort on oil whether the jury bury be believe ere you the prisoner exactly what the enry is Ls hero here to pa

bo be an act of god to protect me if it is necessary ia from any of kind violence cither either by y ral hanging anding or shooting the pris on oner erthen then asserted that his acts saved the country from another war nar porter there would bo be war nor now if not for you prisoner I do not pretend war waa was immediate but I do BO emphatically birti ca here he began toso to da declaim I M I in I I a dramatic manner and in the style ofa of a stump speaker that file he bitterness of the republican publican Hc party wai wag deepening hour by hour and that by two or three years at least th the nation would have been in flames of war 11 in ili the presence of death all hearts were hushed dir dissension sension cea ceased cd and for weeks and weeks the hearts and brains of the nation were centered on the eick sick man mail at the white house at least and hero here tha speaker lowered his voice so almost a ai to be aible ho he went arkway in flesh and the nation waa was in ino mourning a pira paragraph graph from froma speech I wanted ranted to make two weeks ago lie ile conti continued 11 aed apparently well satisfied with his 1118 effort incomes it comes envery in very pertinent here and I am glad I had a chance to deliver doliver it counsel asked the prisoner the necessity of requesting gen Sher nian to send troops to the jail to protect him for having obeyed the deit deity answer I would leave aleen been shot and hung bung a it hundred times if it been for troops at the jail Q any harm in that A that is a matter for the law to pass ass upon impatiently I will not lot

prisoner stated that garfielda Gar nelds fields nomination election and removal were acts ta of god and then thou asked who nominated ac him A the chicago convention Q was that inspired the prisoner hesitated and seemed about to dodge the question when Porter stopped him u with ith an impatient now now now A mockingly now now now I thought grant or luaine blaine would be nominated and slid when arfield was nominated on the mth ballot it was an act of god the facts filets surrounding his election would sustain the tho position it was an act of godana god and the facts surrounding his election would su sustain S the same position the prisoner complained of be being fatigued saying ho lie was not riot used to speaking arang five hairs hairs at a time and the court adjourned |
