Kx-Sneaker Randall appeared in answer to a subpiena, but was at a loss to know why ho bad been summoned. Immediately after the opening of court Soovillc called to the stand Doctor James Kinnon, of Chicago.

Before anv question could be asked witness, Guiteuu desired to address the court and without waiting for permission or dissent on the part ol tho court, said, in a quick, nervous tone: "1 want these expert witnesses to pass on this point: Where a man is compelled to do an unlawful act.bv a power which he cannot possibly control or overrule and nv which his moral agency is dominated, is he to be considered sutie or insane." Judge Cox" We will have that question discussed." Witness said he was managing editor of the Chicago Medical Review, and lecturer on mental diseases at the Chicago Medical School. He delivered his first looture last April. AVitncss replied to a hypothecated question predicated on the trustworthiness of evidence to which he had listened, that he had no doubt of the prisoner's insanity. Witness admitted that when a man com-niitod a crime while acting under the delusion of Divine inspiration, and then conducts himself precisely as a criminal would do, it would be presumptive evidence against his insanity. Quiteau, who had been quietly but intently following witness, here broke in rather excitedly saying: "Nothing of the kind In this case." Judge Davidgc "Well we will see." Quiteau (Angrily) "You are going too fast In this mutter, we want fa-is not your judgment." itness "Here understand one thing right.

The Lord injects inspiration aud lets the man use his own judgment to work it, mid that's Just my case; that'a tho way I got inspiration. The Lord don't- employ fools to do his work. He gets the best material. Duvidge put a still stronger hypothetical case, using the term "Like a common, vulgar criminal." Ouiteau turned to Davidgo with lie air of immense superiority aud suid: "There is nothing vulgar about this case, aud it is all high-toned." Laiighti r.quiukly suppressed uy i lie LUill l.j Witness thought a-, insane man In carry ing out inspiration would act accord ing to the peculiarities of his manners ami temperament, although there were types of insanity where a man's goaerui cnaructer became changed. Richard J.

Hentor, editor of the Washington Gasette. had seen the prisoner at the Republican head quarters in aew lorn and he had loruieu mo opinion mat. he was exceedingly illy balanced, a cranky egotist. Witness was asked what he thought of prisoner's speech, "Garfield and Hancock," and replied that in his opinion, it was a ridiculous, disjointed atiair. Guiteau, who had smiled complacently when the witness came upon the stand, became very much incensed and shouted out: "Well.

It was not anvthlmr of tho tin.1 You don't know what you are talking about. My speech received the endorse ment ot the best men in the coiintrv." Witness resumed by saying the prisoner seemed to be a perfect nuisance about the rooms, but was interrupted by Guiteau, who Ntufeil You worea nuisance yourself. I'd rather oc nanged as a man man acquitted as a fool, and I wou't have any more of this kind of evidence." Witness added lie was a laughing stock so iur nn no i-ouiii see. Ouiteau became greatly enraged and turning, to Scovillo shouted: "It you put any more of these crank fellows on the stund I'll scare you again. It was a great piece or impudence on your part to put Judge Davis on the stand without consult ing me.
