Richard J. Hinton, editor of the Washington Gazette, had seen the prisoner at the Republican headquarters in Now York. After expressing a very unfavourable opinion on Guiteau'sspeech "Garfield versus Hancock," at which the prisoner indignantly protested, the witness confined by saying that the prisoner seemed to be a perfect nuisance about the rooms, but was terrupted by Guiteau, who retorted, You were nuisance yourself. 1d rather be hanged as a man ihan acquitted a fool, and I won't have any more of this kind of evidence." The witness added that Guiteau was a Iaughing-stock, as far aa he could see, and, turning to Scoville, shouted. If you put any more of these cranky fellows on the stand T'll yet square with you again, It was a great piece of pertinence on your part to put Judge stand without consulting me fool, and L won't allow you to make me out one."
