Chicago, January 27. Mrs. Scoville,
who has kept herself aloof from reporters
since the news of the conclusion of
the Guiteau trial, was asked last night
if there was any truth in the story that
her husband was about to apply for a
divorce on the ground of insanity. She
expressed great surprise and indignation,
and repudiated the suggestion as ridiculous
and untrue.
She showed this dispatch:
"WASHINGTON,
January 26. -Mrs.
Frances Scoville, Chicago: Have written
fully; nothing new.
Remain quietly at
home. Imperative.
"(Signed):
Geo. Scoville."
He put "imperative" in, she said, because
he feared that she would start
East upon receiving news from her
brother. J. W. Guiteau, that the verdict
was guilty. It could not be otherwise,
under the Judge's charge. She didn't
think the verdict settled anything. but it
was providential, for it probably saved
Charles from a mob. Next time the
case is tried the result will be different.
