Show y Storrs on Guitean Chicago 13 Emery Storrs the eminent em-inent criminal lawyer whose testimony wa such a surprise to the defense in the Gniteau case says I think Guiteau will be convicted Crazy is not the right kind of word Nothing has so far appeared ap-peared in the case to indicate that he did not at the time of the assassination of the President and before it and during all the time since then fully comprehend the difference between be-tween right and wrone He fully understand the nature of the act committed com-mitted and iis i consequences and consequently conse-quently nothing has been adduced tending to show that he had not control over his own conduct and nothing tending to show that he was acting under irresistible impulse proceeding from a diseased brain or from any other cause The public ara pretty well convinced that he has a very badly balanced mind that he has not good strong commonsense common-sense and that be has an inordinate desire de-sire for notoriety and would stop at nothing to achieve it but I have yet seen nothing in the case to indicate that in a legal sense he was or is insane He has had a perfectly clear comprehension of the caee from the commencem > ni jf tho trial and of points involved His bursts of violence and his abuse of witnesses and others have been indulged in because he thought himself insane and he so conditioned himself Had he apprehended appre-hended punishment of any kind for these outbursts I have not the slightest doubt lao would have been quiet Judge Cox is a man of very excellent standing in Washington and doubtless has been proceeding pro-ceeding upon the assumption that he would give the prisoner the largest latitude lati-tude possible so that there could be no error in the record nor in he proceedings proceed-ings but I have no doubt it was in his power as it is in the power or every court to maintain common decency and order in the proceedings and that some method could be found for punching 3uit au for contempt either in his position as counsel or as a preacher which would have been effectual These demonstrations have hurt Guiteaus case badly Regarding Mrs Scovilles assertion asser-tion in the court that he Storrs had perjured himself he marie a brief but ex yicit Utement that he never even gave irE C3ovile reason to infer that he should testify that Guiteau was insane much lees that ho had ever made or even promised lo make an affidavit to that effect 2 |
