Closing arguments in the Guiteau trial cast doubt on insanity
Lawyer Davidge delivered a forceful closing arguing the assassin Guiteau was sane and his crime reflected ambition for notoriety rather than madness. He contrasted evidence, cited Spitzka and Reynolds, and denounced the plan to imitate Wilkes Booth while Guiteau retorted about Corkhill and Davidge. The courtroom remained crowded despite bad weather as the trial nears its verdict.
