The exposure of the rascality of Baldwin,
the Newark bank cashier who stole two mil
lions, seems to have been but the prelude to a
series of similar revelations that are quickly
following on each other's heels. A week ago
it was found that the city auditor i.f Newark,
one F. A. I 'aimer, had been imitating bald-
win in an humble way and stolen about half a
million of the city's funds, most of which. like

A Baltimore dispatch gives the following
account of a tragedy on thelid near Winches

Andrew Pfousch to dav surrendered himself
to the authorities at Westminster, Mil., declar

wanted to go to jail. He then stated that he
had killed one ot his neighbors by the name of
Jacob Lockniuu. I.ockmun's son passed his
house on the way to school, nnd lToiisch said
he had been in the habit of throwing stones at
him and teasing him. this morning Lock

An account ol a cold-blooded assassination
comes from Pine BlulT, Arkansas, occurring
on Christmas day. A Titnn special says:
The victim was Dr. C. II. Itosenhaucr, who
was shot to death whilo seated in an arm chair
before the fire, in the sitting room of bis man
mn known as the "White House."
weapon used was a shot gun. Thirteen shot
took effect in the right side of his head, and
the back of the Chair was riddled with shot.
The doctor had been a resident of this county
for over a year, having come from Areola,
Miss., and settled near Noble lake, and built
up a lucrative practice. Though possessed of
some good qualities, private life was not
above reproach. About a year ago he induced
a disreputable white woman named Stella
Smith, the wife of Lee Chow, a Chinaman,
whom she married in this city in ISTO, to de
sert her Celestial husband. She lived with the
doctor as his housekeeper till about the first
of the present month, when Lee Chow came
to this city, and while lu re paid a visit to his
truant w ife nnd prevailed upon her to return
with him to the capital. Oil the l'.'t'i of the
present month Dr. lto.-eiihauer went to Little
Kock and tried to persuade the woman to re

At Fort Concho, Texas, on the 'fith i-t.,
John Pendleton, a respected citizt u and con

patch describes it, was shot through the heart
and killed. The circumstances attending the
sad nlfair are thus detailed in a telegram:
Two men named Mike Houston, a gambler,
and Charles Kelna, a bartender, became en
gaged in a quarrel. Both pulled their six
shooters to settle the dispute, and coiniiuiiccd

stepped toward the door, w hen a ball from one
of the pistols pa-sed throiigti the uoor and
through the heart of Pendleton, and struck an
other man in the shoulder: but, It being spent,
the latter was not hurt. Kelna nnd Houston

THE GUITEAU TRIAL.
Kxcerpts of Testimony Hint lnelilniils Ity the
May.
(iuiteaii, in the last few days, as the cumu
lative evidence of his sanity is drawing the
gallows nearer to his view, is said to he some
what more subdued in his manner and begins
to show signs of fright.
At the opening of court on Friday morning
of lost week, he rose without any signol excite
ment and desired to be heard in reference to
his attorneys. He said Scoville was doing
very well, but he was not a criminal lawyer
und was compromising his case. He has usk
eil questions for the defense which have been
a positive injury. "1 cannot sit here," he com
tinned, "when my life is at stake and have him
compromise my case in this way. My friend,
Charles II . heed, who was for twehe years
District-Attorney at Chicago, and a first-class
lawyer, has very kindly consented to assume
charge of this case, and I introduce him to
your Honor, lie is a good fellow. Scoville
is a good fellow, too, and I want him to contin
ue in the case and help in every way."
Scoville explained that he had been disap
pointed in procuring the assistance he had ex
pected und asked the court to recognize Mr.
lteed as an attorney in the case. Judge Cox
said he could see no opjection to the arrange
ment. Corkhill said it was absurd to talk
about it, as lteed had been assisting in the case
all the way through.
lteed (quickly) That is not true, Mr. Cork-
hill.
(iuitcnu Oh, Corkhill can't tell the truth,
anvwnv. Heed has quietly assisted just as
scores of lawyers have done in the interest of
truth and justice. That's what we are here
for.
After some discussion between counsel rela
tive tostriking oulcertam portions of Dr. Da
mon's testimony, Corkhill was about to call a
witness, when (Juiteau broke out excitedly :
"There's a vast amount of rubbish getting into
this case that has nothing to do with it. I
want to know what all this has got to do with
the condition of my mind on the 2d of July.
You can't tell what is going on now iu that
foreman's nund, or Judge Cox's. How can you
tell what was in mine on the -d ot July? All
this nonsense about whether I'm insane now
or was five years ago has nothing whatever to
do wilh this case. Mriking the lame ami ue
coming more and more excited. I cuu't get
justice here. I expect an act oi (iodforiny
protection. He has taken away the wife of
one of the jurors, for which I am very sorry,
and. if necessary, he w ill lake one of those
iurors right out of the box to save my life in
the interest of truth and justice.
The first witness called was William L'd
wards, by whom the prosecution proved the
conversation between Lawyer Shaw, of New-
York, and (Juiteau in 1S7:, when (iuiteau said
that before he died he would imitate WiIkcs
Booth, and kill some prominent person. F.d
wards was a clerk in McLean's office and
heard the conversation, lie at the same time
heard (iuiteau propose a crooked real estate
transaction, by which (iuiteau was to he beae
fitted and others injured.
On cr iss-examination by I teed, the witness
was asked: "If Shaw testified that no one was
present, and you testify under oath that you
were present, w hich of you told the truth
Answer Why, I have told the truth. Shaw
is apt to get excited w hen upon the stand.
Mr. lteed questioned the witness at some
length in regard to the alleged fraudulent real
estate transaction, when (iuiteau interrupted
saying: "Why this whole thing is a lie. My
counsel are taking this matter too seriously
Cull it by the right name, a lie, and let it go.
Finally, he Itccame very impatient at the lengtli
of the cross-examination, and culled out jclu
lantly: "Why, this whole thing is a farce
This fellow, ten years airo. was a clerk m
Shaw's office, getting aliout $1 a week. Th
idea that 1 would consult him on a big real ea
tate transaction such a numb-skull m tbN
fellow is why, it is simply absurd, andJudie
Cox ought to kick him off the stand
Spencer H.Talcott, suixriuteiidefit of the In
sane Asylum at Middktown, N. V., who Las
treated more than a thou-and insane patient,
testified that he has thoroughly examined (Jul
teau at the Jail and watched him in the court
room, and pronounced him entirely sane
As he closed Ciuteati shoittisl : "How much
ao you expect V) get for that opinion ? 1 aup
loscyou want five hundred dollars (striking
the table angrily), but I don't care a snap for
your expert testimony." Judge C'oi com
mantled the prisoner to keep silence. "All
right," said be, "I'll be quiet now." Judge
Davidgc called the attention of the Jury to the
right now, as he could keep quiet If he wanted
to. (Juiteau replied: "I don't pretend that I
am any more insane than you are. But on the
Jd of July nnd for HOdays prior I was insane."
The next witness was Dr. Henry P. Stearns,
Superintendent of the Hartford Ketreat for the
Insane. From 800 to 1,000 cases of insanity
had come under his supervision during the
eight years he has been connected with the lte-
treat. The witness had made four examina
tions of the prisoner at the j ul, directed to his
physical anil mental condition. He detailed
at great length tin: results ot his examinations
and interviews with (Juiteau. Pending the
ross-exnuiination, court adjourned to Satur
day.
On Saturday thesomew hat subdued demean
or of the prisoner had entirely left him, appar
enlly under his new claim of being entirely
sane now, but that he had been itisune on the
2d of July and lor a month previous. Today
he became so outrageous and abusive ut times
that Judge Porter said he should be placed in
a regular prisoner's dock.
Dr. Stearns again took the stand and was
cross examined by Scoville, who put the ques
tion "Do you agree with the last witness (Tab
cott) that insanity Is always an outward mani
festation of n diseased brain?" The doctor
said he did substantially, only that there had
been cases where, on examination alter death,
there had been no lesion of the brain detected.
The cross-examination proceeded at some
lengtli, with frequent objections on the part of
the prosecution, requiring the ruling of the
court. As the witnesn was about to retire, (Jui
teau said: "Allow me to ask if you hold the
opinion that a man can not be insane in a spe
cific act without having disease of the brain.''
Scoville assented to the question, and wit
ness replied: "Insanity meant disease of the
brain.''
Giuteaii asked another question, but Judge
Porter suggested to the w itness that he hold
no colloquy with the criminal.
(iuitcnu (angrily) I'm no criminal tiny
more than you are. I'm here as my own conn-
sel, and I have as much right to speak us you
have. Wait until I am convicted before you
call me a criminal. I stand a great deal bet
ter outside than you do. Plenty of people will
gay I'm a bigger man than old Porter."
Col. Corkhill suggested that, if this abuse is
permitted, the prosecution would insist that
the prisoner be removed to the dock.
Judge Cox The court has already consider
ed the advisability of such a course.
Qui teau The court has no discretion in tfie
matter. I appear here as my own counsel, in
accordance with law and usage in every state
iu the country.
The incident was evidently not without its
effect upon the prisoner, who teems to realize,
now that he boldly asserts Luis perfectly sane,
that he will be held amenable to the sane rules
of behavior as other sane people.
Dr. James B. Strong of Cleveland was next
illed, who testified to visiting Guiteau in jail
and was about to state the result of bis exami
nation, when Guiteau looked up and said:
Doctor, let me cut this short by saying that
I'm in good physical condition, nnd ns saneus
you are. i here is n great ileal ot useless rub
bish being dragged into this case. Let's cut
it short."
Judge Porter again rose and demanded that
the court should put a stop to these interrup
tions. The judge said he did not desire to net
hastily but if the prisoner again transgressed
he should punish lor contempt.
Guiteau Very well, your honor, I nm with-
in the discretion of the court, but I do not np
pear here as nn ordinary criminal, and your
honor recognizes it. I appear as my own
counsel, and have so acted for the past six
weeks.
Col. lteed then proposed a hypothetical case
or the defense, und asked if the witness could
;ive an opinion. Witness evaded a direct an-
swer, and counsel insisted upon a categorical
reply. A sharp colloquy ensued between Por
ter and lteed with side remarks by Guiteau,
such as, "Porter, you've got n mouth like an
old cat-fish," and shortly afterward, "Porter,
you'll bring tip in a lunatic nsyluin yet."
Judge Cox ruled that counsel for defeuse
could request a categorical answer, and the
question was again and F.guin put, but each
time the witness insisted upon qualifications
which evaded a direct answer.
(Juiteau sueennglv remarked: "You are the
stupidest fellow we've had yet."
Mr. lteed finally said: "Well, if you can not
answer the question you may step aside."
Guiteau shouted alter the witness: "Now go
and get your $-j()0 and go home."
The next witness, Dr. Abrum M. Shew, su
perintendent of the Connecticut Hospital for
the Insane, testified that be had made two ex
aminations of the prisoner at the jail for the
purpose of discovering bis mental and physi
cul condition, and had noticed the conduct of
the prisoner in the court-room since Nov. 20,
and had formed an opinion that the prisoner
is sane.
Dr. Orpheus L'varts, superintendent of the
private nsyluin at College Hill, Ohio, was next
called, and testified to having examined the
prisoner in jail with substantially the same re
sults as the previous witness Guiteau Ire
