|tappice ‘tSEecltl]) Jta. NAPPANEE. : • INDIANA. 7 THE NEWS. Compiled from Latest Dispatches. Trial of Guiteau, the Assassin. The Court room wns densely. packed on the morning of the 27th when the, (iuit*au trial was resumed. Tip* prisoner turned up smiling and said: “ I had a nice Christinas dinner, and hi lpu every body else did. I hud lots of fruit, flowers and lady visitors, and a good time generally.” I)r. A. E. McDonald, Superintendent of Ward’s Island InSiine Hospital, test died that he had treated 6.U00 insane oases. He defined the difference between “delusions” and “insane delusions.” Witness had visited the prisoner in his celt and talked with him over the events of f his life from his boyhood up to tin* time he shot the President. The prisoner spoke of the killing as his own “ concept ion.’* Witness talked at considerable length with the {trisonei* in rqgard to the crime, and asked liin what plans or expectations he hail for the future, and his reply was to the effect that while he did not consider himself insane, he .had studied up the subject of insanity, and ln w lieved he would be found, by a'Jury pi be l<v gaily insane at the time of the commission of the act. and would be acquitted. He was asked: “ What do you suppose, will be done with you'” and replied: “I will be sent to an insane usyliun, and l llnd, under tho law, that I can. alter a few months, have a commission of lunacy to pass upon my case, and of course they " ill find me sane, and I will be discharged." Dr. McDonald la lieved from his examination and his ol>servation of him in Court that he was a perfectly sane man. He had noticed that his most Violent interruptions in the court-room were when the weight of evidence was- against him." The cross-examination of the witness was not concluded when the hour for adjournment was reached. In the Gultcriu trial on the CSth the cross-*x. animation of Dr. McDonald was resinned. Tho questions were directed mainly to the subject of temporary insanity, and the witness waa asked if, in his practice, he had not mat an instance, of temporary insanity. Witness replied that lie had, but that the patient died after an illnesitof twenty-four hours. In explanation of a remark he made cm his direct examinutiouas to Goitcim’s ** playing a in Court," witness said he believed GimcuYi had been feigning what he believed to be insanity, and with that ideal had been playing a part., Dr. Itandolnh Barksdales Superintendent of Hie Central Lunatic Asylum near Hieh-luond-Va’’.. had visited the prisoner in jail and had observed his conduct in the court-room. He lH i ti-v'd he was sane, both when he shot the President and since'. He* also said h<* bolieved Guiteau was feigning what he* ealleel insanity in court. Dr. John H. (.’offender, Supcr-inTenele-nt of the Tennessee* State* Insane Asy- ; lum gave similar testimony. He; did not believe* the Deity *ver inspired a man to take human life*. Alter recess,” during the* ceuitin- , nation of the cross-examination, Gui- ; teuu again became abusive-, and the* counsel for the; prosecution insisted that ! the* motion to remove the* prisoner to the dock should be* eeaisidereel by the Court. After listening to-remarks of counsel on both sides , Jii'lge Cox saiel: “It was hardly Tie-cessary to say that the conduct of the prisoner had been ' in persistent violation of brefer and decorum. ; In the* beginning the only methoels which could be resorted to to suppress this disorder were* such as must infringe the* constitutional I rights_of the* prisoner, anel that was a conclusive ~ argument against them. I,’iYtil , Saturday last no other method bad ; been proposed. The-n thi** proposition | (which he hud already had in mind) 1 was submitted. It hud hitherto be e n an Impression shared by the Court anel counsel that ! the- prisoner’s conduct and language* in Court would afford the best indication of his me*ntal and moral character, and contribute large ly to the enlightenment of Court and jury on tho question e>f his responsibility. It was, theme*- ! fore, on the express desire of the* District-Aft* ; torney, that the Court had uliowed such latitude* eel eoiuiuct^ln-Hrder-to turn*sh the experts j an opportunity of diagnosing the prisoner's case. As it now appeared, the opinions of tho experts had been largely. founded on the exhibitions which bad takett placeon the trial, ands if they had contributed to enable thoso experts to reach their conclusion, it would be a complete vindication of the view of the District-Attorney as to'the proper course to Ik* pursued. At this stage of j the trial, however, this object seemed to have j been accomplished. The trial was. now ap- j preaching its close. The expert* had had ! ample opportunity to make up their judg- ! ments and pronounce them before Court and I jury. It was incumbent on the Court now to ; Impose such restraint as the circumstances of : the case udmitted, and which would,conduce ! to an orderly conduct of the ease. The pris- ' oner had a right to hear the testimony of the : witnesses. He could not be gagged or sent out ' *of court. The proper place for a cprisoner on ! trial for a felony was tho dock. He could only j come within the bar to be arraigned and to re- j coive sentence. If the Court granted him j the privilege of sitting beside 'his ooun- j B‘*l, it was a privdege which entild' Ra"j withdrawn summarily. While the pris- i oner hud an undoubted right to act as i t sown counsel, or to appear by counsel, he ; could not exercise both rights simultaneously, i Hav.ng accepted counsel, the prisoner had j waived his own right to app'ear as such in pet'- i son.” On .consideration of all the olrcuin- j Stances, the Court thought the potion would | have to be granted, an 1 that the prisoner 1 should be placed in the dock, but he did not mean the prisoner should he exp >s<*d to any danger. He should have the fullest protection. ! The prisoner then quietly said that, iTallojyed to remain beside his eounsel, he would keep quiet, but the Court ordered th.* Marshal to - .plat e lum in the dock. Mr. .Seoville restttned nis cross-examination, asking a question which the prosecution declared to be irreverent. The Court allowed the question to be asked The witness replied that in* should not consider it an insane delusion fora man-to J rotes* himself as “a member of the tirm of esns Christ & Cos.” unless there wore -other evidences of disease. A plaster oust of the prisoner's head was handed the witness, who said the head was quite symmetrical, but ho attached no importance to the shape of the head as indicating sanity of insanity. He thought Guiteau had not Ik* on feigning Insanity in the court-room, but merely exaggerating his characteristics of self-conceit, impudence, audacity and insolence. At this point the Court adjourned:

Thk (iuitoau trial was resumed on the 21th at the usual hour. On taking hi?" scat in the primmer’a (look th* defendant said he notice*! a* he rode from the JUII to<the eourt-r<*oiii that mianl to the van had been withdrawn. He wanted to any emphatically that he could take care of hiin*clf if turned loose, but so long as he was In the custody of the Court, the Court was hound to protect him. Then; was more danger of his being shot, in the van while riding to and from the court-room than ever, and he asked Judge Cox to order the gourd to be continued. The Judge said that the arrangements for the safety of the prisoner were in the hands-of the Marshal. I)r. Cpllender’s cross-examination was resumed. Mr. Seovillf* offered plotter, written by (iuiteuu. asking a loan of Senator Cameron, and asked witness if be thought such a letter was evidence of insanity. The answer wits in stance that it wjis evidence not of the insanity, but of the unbounded cheek, of the prisoner. It a.mined to witness to be entirely consistent w:th his character and habit through life,f soliciting monojrrrom sources where h*> h>d no reason to expect it. Mr. Seoville rea*ji the hypothetical question of the defense-and witness replied that, upon that hypothesis, the prisoners insanity was.-a s*lfevident. proposition. Dr. Walter Kemnster, Hupcrlntendent of the Wisconsin Northern Insane Hospital, had devotod his Attention to. the study of insanity during •he last fifteen years. He did not attaeh much on|K)rtance to the shape of the head in determining the question of sanity or Insanity. Witness related incidents within his knowledge

of persons who had committed crimes while acting under the influence of insane delusions, and defined what he considered insane delusions to be. In such eases the delusion (or inspiration as they claim it to be) comes to the person ♦iiiddeuly, and he acts quickly and impulsively. Witness did not believe in the distinct type of insanity, denominated moral insanity. That was simply a convenient term invented to excuse the commission of heinous crimes. Witness had never seen a castrWUt*re an insane man, after committing a crime, paraded his -insanity und urged it art excuse for his crime. Dr. Kempster was asked it; the belief <w the prisoner’s father, L. W. Guiteau. that could be cured by prayer, should be taken as evidence of insunity.* He replied: “By no means. We all know that thousands and thousands of sate.* people prayed daily for the salvation of President, Garfield's life. hardly have done so if they had not entertained some belief in th<* efficacy of prayer.” The hypothetical question of the prosee-Ution was rend and the • witness said that, taking the filets set forth to be true, the prisoner was unquestionably sane. The cross-examination of the witness was continued until the hour of adjournment without eliciting any answers favorable to the defendant. Domestic. Tint business center of Durand, WK, was destroyed by tire on the 25th.

T!PE JEANNETTE. A Telegram from Jumc;w tiojdon Itemiett-. SVASiii.MiT.ON, I)ewniber 2:1.. The Stutc IJepartiiientrials the following dispatch from .Limes Gor.ioti I'cunett withwegard to the survivors of the Jeannette: Paris, December 23. Hon. Frederick J. Frelinghuysctt, Secretary of Male, Washington: < I have jißd received the following telegram from iny correspiindent at St,. Petersburg; concerning the Jeannette party: General I gnat ie IT has given orders to send two new expeditions from lakout.sk in search of the shipwrecked crew, and has directed that every available means be employed to find boat No. 2. On the 25th of September, as has already been told, Melville and ten men were met by three Yakuts. Yakuts are good-nat.ured ■ nomads, very skillful in earing for disorders and maladies caused by the cold. Thy* party could not. have fallen into better hands. It must.be remembered, however, that, from Barchoi, where they were discovered, to lakoutsk, the distance is 2,000 versts, .or 1,400 miles, with rto regular means of transport. At least twenty days were required to get there, but as those who went to the rescue started three days ago, the time necessary to find the party and bring them back to lakoutsk would be about two months. Nor should it be forgotten that, although the whereabouts of Melville and his party is pretty well known, that of l)e Long, who sent forward Netidomari and Noras out of his party of thirteen, is not known, and that for a succoring expedition to reach him will take a long time over country where there are no roads. The ilistancf? from lakoutsk to Irkoutsk is 2,818 versts, or 1,900 miles, with a hamjiered postal which will require at least fifteen days to transport twenty-four persons. The Governor of lakoutsk, General Tschemaieff (not 'General Tchernaiff of Servia), will receive tin* instructions of the Government and orders for fresh expeditions in eight days, by courier extraordiwtire, traveling 250 miles a day. There will be no further news, then, from the Jeannette party themselves in less than three months, as the, telegraph wire does not extend beyond Irkoutsk. From Irkoutsk to St. Petersburg will take them probably a month,traveling as rapidly as possible, although they will probably be at St. Petersburg by April, and in New York by May. This is all the information I have received to date. In cast? the Government should wish to communicate directly with the Jeannette, I beg to say that General AmJlitchine, Governor of Eastern Siberia, is now in St. Petersburg, but that his representative during his absence is General Pedasheuski, with whom you can correspond direct.. In case any further news is received, I shall at once inform you. James Gordon Bennett. The following dispatch has been sent from the State Department: Department of State, ) Washington, I>. C., December 21. f To Hoffman, St. Petersburg: Convey the thanks of the President to the Imperial Government for its liberal and generous action in advancing the necessary funds to render assistance to the members of the? Jeannette expedition, and inform Mr. Dcgelrs that you are authorized to draw on me to reimburse that Government, if it will kindly Inform you of the amount. Fkklinghuysen. The Fute of the Jeannette. The Jeannette has shared the of the Tegetholf. That vessel disappeared off the coast of Nova Zembla, in 1872* and was never again seen, but two years afterward Payer and Weyprecht and their companions returned without their ship, having broken away from Arctic imprisonment and effected their esc . pi? in their boats after an agonizing struggle, in like maniter the Jeannette has'been crushed in the ice,' tuLlier gallant Commander comes b ek without his ship two years after Jt was last sighted north of Behring Btrilt. The scene of the disaster was 1 titude 77 degrees, longitude 157 degrees east, and the time June 22. The c rew embarked iu three boats, oue of which reached the mouth

of tin* Lena on September and another subsequently, while the third 'lias not reached lain!. .Tin* survivors were in their boats from seventy to ninety (lavs, and their condition on reaching land is described as pitiable. Their sufferings must have been even more heartrending than those of the Polaris castaways, whom I)e Long hi; ns elf rescued oIT the coast of Labrador; for, although they, too, l**ft their ship in latitude 77 degrees ami had been If Ml days on the floating ice when they were picked up by the Tigress, they had start ed with more than a boat’s load of provisions. The escape of two-thirds of the Jeannette's crew is ;i deliverance almost miraculous. The sufferings of these brave sailors will excite a thrill of sympathy wherever this last story of Arctic, adventure is told. The English-speaking world, recognizing their Anglo-Saxon grit, will rejoice with one consent over the safety of those who have been rescued, and will lament the possible fate of the missing ho t\s crew. If s I)c Long the same solace which Payer and Weypreeht /enjoyed, wheti they reappeared after their two years’ voyage? They had discovered Franz Josef .jbund. It was an accident, to be sure, for their vessel had been caught iti the ice and they had been drifting in utter helplessness for months when their eyes first caught a glimpse of that mysterious shore; still, it. Was a discovery which richly compensated them for all their sufferings and trials. Has De Long done anything more than to return half-w y on the track of Nordeuskjohl, the Intrepid Commander of the Vega? Utmble to break through the ice on the Behring Strait, meridian, has he turned to the left, tluoi%li Long Strait, and, sending two winters on the Siberian coast, only edged his way as far west as the Siberian Islands? Or has he also made discoveries in higher latitudes, so that* he can do something besides compare notes with Nordenskjold? The details pf his cruise''VlN.bc awaited with the keenest interest. The latitude where disaster overtook Ids trim, little vessel indicates that he had u higher ambition than to repeat the Swede’s exploit. It. is a higher latitude than that of the northernmost cape which the Vega rounded, and is on a level .with Prince Patrick Land and the southern of Spitsbergen. Whether it was the highest latitude which he had reached, or whether he had made discoveries of real importance before his ship was abandoned, we shall know w hen the log is furnished in detail, a lt will be melancholy, indeed, if this gallant commander and his plucky companions have struggled and suffered as they must, have done without having added materially to the sum of human knowledge or enlarged the horizon of the polar basin. In the first flush of Mils sudden news from the Jeannette, science and geography count for little. It Is the human element which touches the hearts (if people of generous instincts. There is Joy over the deliverable of the bulk of the crew; there is sympathy for the brave Commander’s wife, who has been waiting so anxiously for twenty-eight long mouths for tidings of his safety; thereTs sorrow that she ship’s company has been divided and that so many brave men may have perished. But the'scientific aspects cannot he entirely overlooked. The failure of this expedition nmy tend to simplify the future course of Arctic exploration. The theory generally adopted in recent years has been that, in order to reach a high latitude within the Arctic C’ircle the vessel must follow a coast line treuding northward. When De Long left San Francisco in 1879 there were three coasts which seemed to offer peculiar advantages for Affctic exploration. One was the Greenland short, which Kane, Hayes, Hall and Nares had followed; another Was . the recently discovered Fritnz Josef Land, which has since been partially explored by Smith; and the third was Wrangell Land, which was supposed to he a large island and possibly one of a chain of islands stretching toward the Pole. De Long hoped to ‘succeed in wintering on Wrangell Land and in following what was fancied might he a polar archipelago far to the north. Wrangell Land rl-now known to be a small island with an impenetrable sea to the north, and Leigh Smith’s disappearance in the Kara Sea discourages attempts to make Franz Josef Land a base of operations. If the phautom uucst for the Pole is ever to be resumed, the old route through Smith’s Sound must be considered the safest highway. The little colony of Americans and Eskimos which was landed in Lady Franklin Bay last summer has better opportunities for scientific research and extended explorations in the highest latitudes than any ship’s crew exposed to the terrible ri(s of the Siberian waters and the Barents SfiCau possibly have./—A'.
