AibtiUu*. fl i, Interview with Judgo Porter. “Did you expect such a ver dict?’’ ventured the reporter. “I diil, or I should not have concluded my s|K-ccli. At twelve o’clock I saw the jury wus with us, but I could not stop at that moment. At the recess i went up to Judge Cox anil told him I would stop at three o’clock if lie would deliver bis charge immediately after. He said be would do so. At a few minutes after three I closed. I was a little uneasy when Mr. Scovillc asked that the charge be delayed until to-mor row The judge put the question to the fury, and luckily for us the jury decided to sit and bear the charge. If the jury bad not, I should have spoken until to-mor row’.” “When did you become satisfied that tbe Jury was with you?” “Not until twelve o’clock to-day. I have studied that jury for weeks, and there were several men on it I was convinced were taken with Scoville’s ingenious defense. They came to us one by one, and |whcn I said something about Charlotte Corday I saw the only doubtful man shed tears. I concluded that now was the time to slop. I broke up my speech, and made it appear like patchwork, but it was a verdict I wanted,” be said, pounding the table. “Wlial is the meaning of the verdietr” “It puts an end to political as sassination in this country for all time to come. I hope so at least. Arthur’s life would not have ls:en safe thirty days after tho verdict hud it been otherwise.” A talk wltii th« Forvinan. The foreman of the jury, Mr. John F. Hamlin, was found by a Washington Post nqsorter last night surrounded by a number of his friends, and glad enough that hie tiresome duties wera at last over. “I feel," said he, “as though I had just completed a laborious job of plowing, and am just as tired as though I liad been all this time performing manual labor, in faot, completely worn out, physically and mentally.” “Did you observe the faco of Guitcau when you rendered the verdict?” “No; it was so dark that I could j not sec his face well.” “When out, was there any dis cussion among tho mvmbersof the Jury? If so, upon what points?” “Very little time was spent ip discussion. The indictments were all read over, and, considering tho length of timo it took to do this, ' the fact that we were out hut forty miuutes, you will see that wo hod littlo time left for discussion.” “Wus there any hitch at all, or was it generally understood be- tween you before going out whnt your verdict would be?” “It was tacitly understood, or we should not havo asked that tho court charge us then instead of waiting till morning.” “How long do you think It has been since all the jurors believed Guitcau iuKane?” “Well, that’s hard to tell, think, however, that thorp has bean little or no doubt of his insanity aince the testimony of Dr! Noble Voting. Ho is a Washingtonian, and every man on the jury bad faith in his judgment as an ex pert." “Von think then that his testi mony was elective with tbejury?” "Yes. Hogavo his testimony in such a clear, sensible manner, de void ol technical terms so often employed by other experts, and appeared to know just what he was talking about. He seemed to un derstand Guitcau so well. I am convinced that Dr. Young’s testi mony did more to convict Guitcau than all the other testimony put together.” The testimony of Dr. Voting re ferred to, as it appeared in the Dost at the time it was given, is as follows ; “The next witness was Dr. No ble Young, of Washington, pltysl- sieian to the jail. He had given the ordinary utlenlion tho prisoner for some time after his imprison ment. He hud had several spells of malarial fever and lieen treated for them. With those exceptions the prisoner’s health was normal IDs pulse, temperature und respi ration were perfectly normal •Some lime after the president’s death witness bud a conversation with the prisoner in his cell. He lulked with him nbout the “remov al” of the president, and asked him why lie did the act? Ho said he was inspired to do it. “But,” said the witness, “what was very ic- inarkable .was tlmt he qualified the inspiration by saying that if tho president- should die he would he cull fi ruled in his belief tlmt It was inspiration.” The witness asked him one day why (if ho was com manded to do the deed by the Al mighty) he should now bo willing to lay the president's death on the doctors. His answer was that things must take their natural course. Witness bad never thought of the prisoner’s insanity at llrst, but after tlmt question was pub licly agitated, lie examined him in regard te it, and for the last three weeks before the trial, witness was especially observant of any physi cal changes tlmt might occur, and he saw none.” The District Attorney—“From your conversation witli and obser vation of the prisoner, what is your opinion of his sanity or in sanity?” The witness (with u smile of in credulity)—“He is perfectly sane man; as bright and intelligent man as you would see in a sum mer day; bright and quick and in telligent. I never saw anything in him tlmt savored of insanity.” “Did you receive any letters of sufllcient importance to refer to, during the trial?” “Well, yes. I read nothing, however, until to-night after we were discharged, not even a letter. My mail was in Judge Cox’s hands until this evening. Among my letters I found one signet) by Jack Brown, of Georgia, in which he says tlmt if we (the jury) do not render a verdict of guilty, we would hear from *00 strong in Georgia who Imtl sworn tlmt not a juror should live. They would kill the lust man of us if Guiteau es caped the gallows.” “Were there any more letters of a similar character?” “No. but here is one that may be worthy of note,” said Mr. Ham lin, handing the Poet a letter written evldontly by") signed “Ladies of tl , Chicago.” They donoutice Charles H. Iteed os the “greatest vlllian tlmt ever put foot in Chicago.” They appeal to the jury toflnd Guitcau guilty lor “you knoir full well that our dear Saviour never Inspired any one to do *’ 7 inrOng." !
