UCITLAU SHOWED Y*$AT Ne*VOO•NIO and appeared greatly 'tattled when he hoard the rattle of muskets on the Metre floor of the rotunda Frew that mo- ment Guiteau appeared to be thoroughly overcome by emotion. He wept freely and seemed to be in great anguish. At - ter the death warrant was read the pri- soner became much composed and turn- ing away began to brush his hair with his old apparent swaggering sang froid. At 12.25 the steamwhistle mounded at the workhouse near the jail and two minutes later the iron gates at the end of the corridor clicked, the wander ap- peared,andi,a moment later Guiteau. The latter's face was pallid, and the muscles about the mouth mewed nervously. The procession moved quickly to the scaffold. Guiteau ascended twelve somewhat steep steps with as touch steadiness as could be expected from a man whose arms were tightly pinioned behind. Guiteau was placed immediately behind the drop facing to the front of the scaffold. There was a slight delay, while 250 or more spectators were pushing through the door from the rotunda to the corridor at the lower end, near which the ga'low• was placed. Guiteau gazed upon the crowd looked upon the beam overhead and qu'c'tly sun eyed all the dread para- phernalia. As soon as the cro.vd enter- ed Cr -ticker wave 1 to them to uncover. HICK'd PRAYED AS TOLLMW$: Father. out :,f the depth we cry to Tete; hear Thou our supplottions for the sake of Jesus Christ our Saviour, who made full propitiation for us. Be- hold this thy servant; we humbly pray Thou will deliver hint at this supreme moment of his life. Let Thy light shine upon him. Liberate his soul fromprieon, may he appear- before Thee al solve 1 by Thy great mercy, from blood guiltiness; deliver him and us. God have mercy on us: Limb of God that takcth away the sins of the worldhsve mercy on us. Amen and amen. During the prayer Guiteau stool with bowed head. Hicks opened the bible, Guiteau i i firm touts said, '•I will real a selection from the tenth chapter of Matthew from the 27th to 41st verae in_ elusive." He then read in a clear,strong voice with good intonation and showing little if any nervousness. Hicks then produced the manuscript prepared by the vr.soner this morning, and held it before him while Guiteau read. While Hicke was arranging the manuscript Guiteau exhibited a slight nervousness and moved several times from one foot to the other. He soon recovered his composure, and said, "I am now going to read to you MY LAST DYING PRAYER." He then read in a loud 'tone, with distinct deliberative emphasis, the fol- lowing: Father, now I go to Thee, and Sav- iour I have finished the work Thou gave to me to do, and I am only too happy to go to Thee. The world does not yet ap- preciate my mission, but Thou knowest it. Thou knowest Thou didst inspire Garfield's removal and only good hu ceme from it. This is the beat evidence of the inspiration that it carne from Thee, and I have set it forth in my book that all may read and know that Thou, Father, didst inspire the act fur which I am now murdered. This government and nation by this act I know will incur Thy eternal enmity as did the Jews by killing Thy man my Saviour. Retribu- tion in that case was quick and sharp, and I know thy divine law of retribution will strike this nation and my murderers in the same way. The diabolical spirit of this nation, of its government, and its newspapers toward me, will justify Thee in curving them, and I know Thy divine law of retribution is inexorable. 1, therefore, predict that this nation will go down in blood, in that my murder- ers from'the executive to the hangman will go to hell. Thy laws are inexor- able. Oh ! Thou Supreme Judge, woe un- to the men that violate Thy lawn, only weeping and gnashing of teeth awaits them. The American press has a large bill to settle with Thee, righteous Father for their vindictiveness in this matter. Nothing but blood will satisfy them and now my blood be on them and this nation and its officials. Arthur, the president, is a coward and an ingrate. His ingrati- tude to the man that made hint, and sav- ed his party and land from overthrow has no parallel in history, tut thou, righteous Father, will judge him. Father Thou knowest me, but the world hath not known me and now WA$HIHUTOP, Juae 30, 1882. 77eS YU*Dgaia Or OAAe7ILD. Charism Jules Guiteau was of Hugue- not descent and the grandson of Dr. Francis Guiteau, jr,, who for many years resided in I'tics, N. 1. He was born about forty-one years ago in the [(tats et Illinois and led a wandering life till some aix years ago, when he set up as • lawyer at Chicago in a very poor way. He was known as a man of fair aoquirements, but of bad reputatiou,and au accomplish- ed hotel dead beat. Further inquiry into his career proved him to be a thorutngh hypocrite and a blackmailer. After living in a precarious fashion for ass yeah in Chicago, he went to New York, only to return to the former city in 1876. He sank lower and lower in the social scale, every now and then be- ing heard of in s ruenewline or another, for instance in 1879 be published a book in Chicago, entitled,"The Truth, a Com- panion to the Bible, by Charles J. Guit- eau, lawyer, theologian and lecturer, a book for every one to read." The book, which was a crazy production, a mixture of blasphemy and hypocricy was s fail- ure, but few copies having been sold - About 1880 he disappeared ,*roto Chicago and did not re -appear in a public charac- ter till Ju'y 2, 1881, the day on which he fired the fatal shots at President Gar field in the Waahingtou depot o'f the Baltimore and Potomac railway. Guiteau was very restless during the last part of the night, not sleeping Were Cele t • • , • • • t •t time. To. wards wvrwug he fell into a sounder sleep from sheer exhaustion. He rose a few minutes after 5 and breakfasted at 8.30, eating steak, eggs, potatoes and other dishes When the cook took his breakfast into the cell, Guiteau told hint to bring dinner at 11 promptly. Hicks, who remained at the jail all night, was called into the cell soon after the pris- oner rose, and held conversation on re- ligious subjects with him. At 8 Hicks saw the prisoner again, and the latter trade a request for a bath and asked Hicks to go and see the scaffold. Guiteau desired him to arrange with the warden to 11071,2 tawmallelf sig a rat cord i ee I a / tai res_ reeem geeing.Glory kawv.tt. I 'ywdy" 't 1 ars going M , .

He al- so, expressed considerable anxiety lest suave accident should scour, and insisted '`.int Hicks should see that the scaffold and appurtenances were in l roper and safe condition. After Guitea'.t disposed .f•the.e matters he read a poem compos- ed by himself whiohhecalla "Simplicity, ur Religious Baby Talk." Guiteau than talked Bowe time about his future. "I don't think," he said, "I can go through the ordeal without weeping; not because of any great weakness, for the principle in me is strong; but because 1 am nearer the other world. I held to the idea that God inspired me." Guiteau subsequent- ly asked that in his books all complimen- tary remarks about President Arthur and his administration should be elimin- ated. Shortly before 11 o'clock Guiteau called for paper, and for twenty minutes busied himself making a ,'OPT OF HIS PRAYER .son the scaffold. At 11, contrary to 4eneral expectation, Mrs Scoville arriv- ed at the jail and besought admission. She appeared laboring under great ex- citement. Crocker declined to admit her unless the prisoner specially request- ed it. John W. Guiteau, in the rotun- da was informed of his sister being out- side and at first started to go to her, but after a moment's hesitation decided not to interfere, saying, "i will leave the whole matter with Crocker." Guiteau was not informed of his sisters presence. After • short conference with the war- den, John W. Guiteau went outside the jail to see his sister. He found her in great excitement, bordering upon hys- teria, but he soon calmed her and dis- suaded her from an attempt to gain ad- mission She acknowledged the pro- priety of such a course, but aaidshecould not possibly remain in the city during all these ' WS=TCHJD HOt'aa OF THZ MO&NIl4O She brought with her the flowers Gui- teau asked for, and they were taken to the primmer.

The body hung with the feet just touching the ground fur over half an hour when it was lowered to the coffin. THE AL'TOP.T. The physicians who performed the autopsy were Laub, Hartigan and Sav- ers Dr. Bliss and a number of other prominent doctors were present. The brain was found in normal condit'on and weighed 49 ounces. The heart weighed a little over 9 ounces and was healthy, as were all the other internal organs. Dr. McWilliams said there was nothing abnormal about the brain as far as he could eee. The general viscera he said were in perfect condition. The physicians were disinclined to go into details regarding the results thus fa.t reached. Dr. Hartigan took with him Guitesu's brain All the physicians agreed that there were lyinphe in the duremater. None care to express a po- sitive opinion -until the examination is completed. Numbers of physicians and surgeons repaired to the army medical museum late this afternoon, where the autopsy was continued. It was the in- tention oJ the surgeons to snake a plea - ter cast of the brain with a view of the permanent preservation in that form of its configuration and external charac- te.iistics, but the organ was found so soft and yielding as to render this im- practicable. Reopen was therefore had to photography. A number of nega- tives were taken from various joints of views with more or less success. The an:itoniical examination which will in- clude a careful miscroecopical study of the tissues and structural characteristics of the brain will not be finished before to -morrow afternoon and may occupy several days. The surgeons pledged themselves nut to make public any indi- vidual conclusions in order that the offi- cial report may have full weight and value ;us representing the conclusion of all the examining physicians.
