are too glad to have escaped personal injury to think of bringing the run ruf ruffians fians flans to justice washington 19 at the usual hour as soon as guiteau reached his seat he delivered himself of the following speech with a pompous effort at oratorical effect the decision of the new york court of appeals comes with so much force at the present moment that I 1 desire to call attention to ir it it comes with great grace from the empire from that grand old state of the republic the otate that sends the brains the tito money and comi come commerce nerce of then the nation atlon it is a great step forward of the law of insanity hitherto the law has been that the burden of proof lf was on the defendant but the court of appeals with a grand magnanimity gayb gays that the burden burdell of proof is on the prosecution to prove that the man not only committed the also that he was sane at the time he committed it in the name of justice and in the name of or the tile american amerlean people and in the name of the american judiciary desire those gentlemen of the court of appeals eals eala of the state of new york scoville then resumed his argument reading from the evidence of several witnesses who were at the depot and kaw aw the shooting and subsequent arrest of Gul gui guiteau his object being to show that the prisoner was perfectly calm and cool and in a condition of the nerves and intellect at variance with the hypothesis of sanity under such circumstances stan atan cea scoville again complained that the prosecution had failed to call detective mcelfresh to the tile stand whose evidence would have been of service to the prisoner guiteau they came to my cell and tried to draw me out I 1 talked with them a little and told tod mod them about velty deity and my inspiration and now they suppress all that evidence that shows the iniquity of their prosecution and god almighty will curse eurse every one in this prosecution in my opinion after a short pause tb the e prisoner added that reminds me to bay nay that judge porter has been pretending pretend ing to be siek sick for two days davs I 1 hope it will be providential to keep keel himrick him alck rick I 1 hope the lord will take him down below quick and then send for corkhill As scoville proceeded corkhill Cork bill made frequent and as the speaker evidently thought slighting alighting comments until anally finally becoming irritated ho lia turned upon the district attorney and denounced Idec in scathing athing term his bis unfairness in the matter of producing the evi dence of a mutilated letter written by the prisoner guiteau Gnit Gul eau it was a friendly allusion to Preg president idEnt arthur that he cut out the luean liean dirty whelp scoville had a running fire with the prosecution as his speech progressed his motive he said wa was not to shield the guiteau family but to save the american nation and judiciary from hanging an insane baneman man he denounced corkhill corke III lii for gratuitously insulting dr north if he was ever arrested for crime corkhill stated he himself had tried north in this court recess washington 19 after rems reap scoville continued his review of the evidence and claimed that the prisoner had been free frank and outspoken in all things that he had converse at the jail with every one the prosecution sent there and always ways without reserve and had he been sane and playing a pai pat pait palt t he lie would not have done so commenting upon as be he claims the absence of motive on GuiZe aus aub pait part scoville Bc oville said you cannot nind find an instance in history you cannot suppose a case where a man 40 years of age who has never before committed a crime who has never for an hour associated with criminals or bad people who on the contrary has actually sought the society not only of the better class elliss of people but of christian people you cant conceive of such a mans mana committing such a crime without motive nothing but the theory of insanity can possibly account for such an act as guiteaux Guite gulte aus auls scoville Scovil lib then discussed the assumption that guiteau might have been actuated by a desire for or revenge and argued the improbability of such an assumption from the fact if any ground for III ili will existed on Gulte Guite aus auls part it was against I 1 secretary Blai bial blaine neland and according to the inexplicably laws tf f mind it would have been exe buted against him there cant possibly te shown said scoville any ill ili will willon on his part toward president garfield colonel Cork cockbill bill you beem seem to forget that he kaled him without noticing this comment scoville Bc oville next took up the hypothesis astvat that thal the crime was committed from an overpowering desire for no boriety tori ety and claimed that history did not point out a case where such a crime was waa committed purely and simply from such a motive and that it was waa incompatible with reason rea and impossible for the human mind mind to conceive such a motive as sufficient to induce any auy sane man mi such a crime that he killed the president as a disappointed office seekers seeker is more than improbable bald said scoville yc oville for he had brooded blooded over some wrong of the kind something of his bis disappointment would have leaked out he ife would said something in his with other people indicating his disappointment or bad temper the subject nothing would been more natural iu in the interval before be he made up his mind to kill the president guiteau oh all bosh about I 1 my being a disappointed office seeker after the first of june juno my whole mind was on the political situation and I 1 have taken a cabinet position had I 1 it t been offered me looking up from his paper a few minutes later guiteau eriel cried out with a patis fled airs airy air porter is sick I 1 guess the lord ia is attending to him 33 scoville Bc oville alluded to the taunt tauni of the pr prosecution delenco execution ese cution that experts for thede the derence had halt gone back on them and said in explanation that when he reached washington he did not know the name of a single expert he knew guiteau was crazy but how to show it to the country and to convince a lury jury ury oi 0 his countrymen was the burden that pressed n him then came a letter from dr worcester cc ster that little man from the great state of massachusetts a state that holds the tho athens of america he wrote that if the half of what was said of guiteau was true he was crazy dr worcester had great experience peri ence in treating insanity and ha hu I 1 written a book which was an accepted authority aa as a text book tile the first work ho he said by an ame rican author on insanity he said baid further that he to wanted to do all he could to save tho the nation from the d di larace ia irace race of hanging an insane man mail even if his victim did happen to be the tile president of the un united ted tod states it I 1 I 1 said raid scoville Sc a great weight lifted from my heart henrt I 1 thought here is agrest a great and good man who cannot be bought well gentlemen this very little man from the great state of massachusetts came guiteau he wanted a ft free nide ride to washington he got here and corkhill bought him up so he went back on that letter sceville Bc oville continued well wells ho he came here and he saw some one guiteau he saw corkhill find and he bought him over scoville Bc oville at any rate this great author on american insanity or this first american author whatever it may be could not on the stand when asked give me the title of his book scoville severely criticized the course of dr Worce worcester ster iter and classed him with the government conspirators adjourned till to morrow it la its understood the defense will at the conclusion of or villes speech renew the motion to allow theoti th to address the jury and will lii ask that he be heard beard in support of the motion the effect of thib thia if permitted by the court will be to consume another day allowing two days for judge porter and itis it is more than probable that he be will require it the case will probably not I 1 get to the jury before wednesday next secretary kirkwood in his letter accompanying the papers recel received ved by the senate today to day
