Kausiis introduced iu the senate a bill
which is causing considerable comment
among the Mississippi valley congress-
men It is as follows
A bill for an appropriation to deepen
the ehaiiLel over the bar of the harbor
at Galveston Texas
Whereas the states of Kansas
Colorado New Met co and Indian terri-
tory including the vast state of Texas
embrace a tmritorial aiea equal in mag-
nitude to the entire fifteen states south
of the laes and east of the Mississippi
river and
Whereas this vast grain and cotton
district with its several millions of
population already is being rapidly
swelled by emigrants from the older
states and from Europe and its present
and future commercial interest demand
it shorter and more economical outlet to
the South American states to Europe
and our Atlantic ports and
Vhereas the port of Galveston is 10X1
miles nearer Kansas and the grain fields
than the Atlantic ports thus saving the
gram producers of Kansas 1000 uiilcsof
railroad cairiage and
Whereas the grain states and terri-
tories aforesaid tiro now connected by
railway in full operation with the har-
bor of Galveston which can be greatly
improved for tho admission of lirstelass
ocean steamers by simply deepening the
channel over the > ar and
Whereas tho harbor of Galveston is
uatuially the best port and harbor be-
tween Now Orleans and Tnnpicn Mex-
ico and is the nearest practicable port in

Be it enacted that the sum of 1000

Washington January 4 At the
Guiteau trial this morning before the
proceedings commenced Guiteau said
This is a good time to make a speech
but I promised the marshal I would
keep quiet today audi will try to do
soMr Scoville read an affidavit setting
forth that affiant was sole counsel for the
prisoner that the prisoner has been in
such a state of mind he litis beenunable
to receive any assistance in suggesting
names of any witnesses ami that nHiaut
since closing learned the names of cer
tain witnesses who can testify to matter
and facts for the defense After giving
the names of the witnesses and briefly
stating what he expected to prove by
each Scoville moved he bo allowed to
introduce this evidence
Judge Cox inquired if counsel desired
to be heard unon the motion
Corkhill I hardly think anythiug
need be said
Colonel Heed addressed the court in
favor of the motion He was aware the
matter was within the discretion of the
court it was not however without pre-
cedent and that too in the United
States courts lie then cited cases in
support of his argument and said that
in tbis country it was the boast of our
free constitution that the poor man
should have the same rights in a court
of justice as the denizen of a palatial
mansion and that he was assured the
American people would not begrudge an
extia favor that was now asked in be-
half of this prisoner iu the name of jus-
tice and fior trial
Mr Davidge replied at some length
and denied that any precedent existed
for reopening this case simply to intro-
duce cumulative evidence particularly
in the case of Dr Molarland He
I elieved he would be scandalized were
he to admit the testimony of a man so
reckless to form an opinion and willing
to swear to it merely from reading news-
papers
After considerable discussion by coun-
sel which was interrupted by Guiteau
lodge Cox said the counsel for defense
came here a stranger to tho courts of
this district ami even the prisoner him-
self and found hiinselr environed with
difficulties from the outset the most se-
rious of which was that the odium at-
taching to the assassination made wit-
nesses unwilling even to allow their
names to be known to defense Appre-
ciating all these difficulties which m
barrassed the defense be Judge Cox
had fell disposed to offset them with an
equal latitude ami more than ordinary
facilities In the preparation of the ease
evidence of insanity could not heoHeied
iu surrebuttal and it is his opinion that
proof of insanity should be limited to
the evidenceinchief of theilefeUHeaml
the rebutting evidence of the proseeu
tion lie therefore must ex
elude the evidence of Dr Me
Farhiuil The testimony Jiowever
of thus witnesses by which the defensi
expects to prove that the prisoner as-
sorted on the day ot the assassination
and ou the day after the motive for his
act the court held should be admitted
As evitlcnee in surrebuttal Brooks
chief ot the treasury serect service was
called Witness visited the priionei at
jail the night alter the shoot in
Guiteau was in bed at the time and I
arose in great auger ami excitement an
wanted to know what I lneaiU by ill
tiirbing his rest nmlqiiiet at that hourof
the night ami I said it illbecame him
a murderer to speak in tliaf manner
He bad disturbed the rest and quiel of
the whole nation lie came back at me
by saying that he was no murderer but
a christian ami a gentleman Ilis mind
was made up that be bad been moved to
do the act as a political necessity and it
was for the good of the country
Witness replied 1 am a lepublicaii
and a stalwart and be said Then you
can appreciate why I did it Witness
detailed at some length his conversation
at that time He iwitness said to the
prisoner If yon had taken deity i to
eiiisideration you could not have
done such an act The prisoner replied
I had thought over the matter and
prayed over it for six weeks and tho
more I thought and the more I prayed
the more I became convinced the presi
dent must go and that it was my duty to
remove him
Notwithstanding his prmiise iu the
morning Guiteau continues to inter-
rupt nnd became involved m a alter
cation with one of the bailiffs who trit d
to silence him Ill slap you in the
mouth he frequently snarled at him
but made no demonstration ot carrying
his threat into execution At another
time ho said you are nothing but a
miserable underling interfering while
I speak to 50000000 when I talk
When Judge Cox had linis ied his re-
marks upon Scovilies motion Guiteau
insisted on expressing the opinion
thats a firstclass decision judge that s
all I want to get before the jury what
I said at the time relative to the causes
that impelled me upon the president
As for the rest I dont care a snap
I would not give fifty cent a bishjl
for this expert testimony If I had
money enough 1 could get fifty of the
best experts iu the country to swear I
am as crazy as a loon Thats just how
much that kind of ev idence is worth
Scoville introduced a letter written by
the prisoners father in which he spoke
of the pisoner and expressed an opinion
that ho was insane
Guiteau called out jeoringly What
was tho object of reading that letter to
show that my father was a crank or that
I am You are the biggest jackass
Scoville I ever saw If you cannot
learn any sense 1 shall have to rebuke
you in public
Tho prosecution then submitted a
statement of the law points on which
they would rely as follows
First Legal test of responsibility
where insanity is set up as defense for
the alleged crime is vvhethertlie accused
at the time of committing the net knew
the difference between right and wrong
in respect to such act that is if he knew
what he was doing and that what he was
doing was contrary to law and bis re-
sponsibility Guiteau I didnt be-
cause my freo agency was destroyed J
Second If the accused knew what he
was doing and what he was doing was
contrary to the law of the land it con-
stitutes no defense If it were true
when he committed the act he really be-
lieved he was producing a public benefit
or carrying out an inspiration ot divine
origin or approval such belief would not
afford any excuse nor would such ex-
cuse he nlti riled by the fact that in tin
commission ot the act he was impelled
by a depraved moral sense whether in-
nate or acquired or evil passion or in
dilfereiice to moral obligation Gui
tcan All of which is false
Third Insanity would however con-
stitute a defense if by reason ofdisetise
the accused nt the time of committing
the act charged did not know what he
was doing ami if he did not know what
he was doing was contrary to law
IGuiteau I had no choice in the mat-
ter
Fourth The only evidence in the
present case tending to show an irresist
able impulse to commit homicide is the
claim of accused that his free agency
was destroyed by his alleged conviction
that the death of the president was
required for tlie good of the American
people anil was divinely inspired
Such conviction if it really existed
couli no ntloril any excuse when the
party knew what he was doing and that
it was contrary to law Nome e delusion
or error of judgment prohibited by law
commanded or approved by divine
authority Oniteaii Gods law is
higher than mans law can exempt
accused
from tho responsibility for
breaking the
law To have such an
effect the commission of the act charged
must have been the result Of an insane
the product or
mind which was
disease of such force as to deprive ac-
cused of the degree of reason necessary
to distinguish between right and wrong
act tint at the time
in respect to tho so
he either did not
ot committing the act
know what he was doing or u lie >
that the act was wrong or contrary to
the law of the land
At Scovilie s motion conrt was then
adjourned till Saturday morning to give
time for the defense to prepare their
points or law
