Porter is malic? tho closing speech
Mr. Scoville who preceded bim for the
defense fpoko for tonio threo or four
days and did himself much credit.
Wo quote a pnosago from bis tpceuh
which exhibits & most tellies point and
JooioDstrates tho lolJuces and ucrro
of the f reaker. Read :
I tell yoa Kcntlomaa of tho jury Ixxek of
th'n prosecution in an influence which I have
felt a id which you niny fool geutlomon ba-
iOio ibis trial in ended. There nro politic
ians who souk to hido their own shamo bo-
hind tho disgrace of thin poor prisoner nud
make him tho oenpegont for their crinio. I
did not intond gentlemen of tho jury to
take up this feature of tho caso but when I
find out the power and influence this gov-
ernment tinea against me in refusing me the
small pittance that I havo akod fair and
impartial trial and the small facilities nood-
ed for proper dofonHe. I do not propouo to
keep qniet. I nay that mich men ns Grant
and Conkling and Arthur are morally and
intellectually responsible for this crime.
Conkling shall not cscap. IIobImU not shirk
the respousibilty of the state of things that
led to this act. He shall not escape tho con-
demnation of the American people if I can
help it for his share in the disgraceful
scramble for office that led to the conflict
with the chosen ruler of this great nation
andled this poor insane man to compass
what they would have bailed with Batisfae.
tion as would probably hundreds of other
pohtciaus if it could occur other than
throigh assasination. tho removal of Gar-
field who stood in the way of their unright-
eous and disgraceful struggle for oftico.
Neither shall Grant escape that condemno-
tioruto which he is so justly subjected when
coining from Mexico aud coming with undue
haste he threw his own name into the petty
quarrel about a small office in the Republi-
can party and sought to ferment the differ-
ences that had sprung up. I ana not going
to see the misdeed of these men high in
power visited upon the head of this poor
insane man if I can help it. This clamor
for his biood is not for the purpose of aveng-
ing the death of Garfield or of satisfaction
of justice bnt their theory is this: If it can
be shown that this was the act of a Bane
man then those politicians in high places
would say of course "We are not respon-
sible for the act of a sane man. To be sure
we had some differences but then it could
never have led a sane man to do such an act."
But on the contrary gettlemen of the jury
what is the effect of your verdict if you ac-
quit him as au insane man? Why the peo-
ple will saysome one is at fault They say we
will fix tho blame upon the heads aud hearts
of those men who urged war upon onr poor
dead President until it drove this poor in
sane man from reading daily in the papers
what Grant says; what Conkling Bays and
from constantly thinking upon it to his in-
sane act of killiug the President and those
men in high places really culpable ones.
will go down to posterity with a stigma upon
their names and thejdetestationof their coun
trymen fastened upon their memories.
Sooville's denunciation of Conklinif
Grant and Arthur caused a profound
sensation in the court. As soon as le
cess was announced the speaker was
surrounded by ladiesand gentlemen and
congratulated on his fearless expo-
sition. One gentleman exclaimed: "that
is the correct sentiment nnd the Amer-
icou people ore behind you on that'
The recess of the court was enlivened
by several heated discussions in the cor-
ridors and upon the outside on the pen
eral question of ir.oral and intellectual
responsibility as set forth by Scoville
Tho comments of the Galveston News
which we copy below are excediogly
forcible and pertinent:
Mr. Scoville continued his argument yes-
terday in defense of Gniteau and it is fair
to givo him credit for presenting the case of
his unfortunate client with force aud elo-
quence. If his judgment was at fault in
assailitfg tho stalwart trinity his convictions
of duty moral courage aud fenrl.-ss bearing
under the weight of terrible responsibility
must win for him the respect of the nation
and tho regard of sympathetic nen every-
where. ITis "arraignment of Arthur. Conk-
ling and Grant as the moral agents of the
great crime created ft sensation that will con-
tinue to be felt long after this trial shall
have passed into history mid it is not im-
probable that tho boulder In has thowu on
the great ocean of public opinion put in mo-
tion a wave of thought and inquiry that
may roll on and perhaps wreck t) e ambi-
tious crafts of- the tune "cu'pable ones"
whom the bold speaker o Tearfully denoun-
ced as "u orally responsible for the cime."
and who are to "go down to .posterity with
a sf'gina upon their nan c :. and with tin de-
testation of their countrymen fastcue.l upon
their memories.". Mr. 'Scoville but gives
utterance to what e cry thinking American
thought nnd felt at the time of the assiuo-
tion. and which they may com1 again to re-
gard as the trm the ry of the case. Mr.
Scoville reasons most plausibly and tin log-
ic of his couelnsloi s s comp el and decid-
edly damaging to the reputations of the trio
of stalwart ittiii whom Le a.tnses. lis has
at least formulated an ind'u tneni. agaiust
the three foremo-t po!i:'c'a:n i:i the coun-
try and has snbmitte.l it to the grand in-
quest of popular opinion. Tito charge aud
specifications will tak hold of tho public
mind and sooner or later the verdict will be
rendered.
