Scoville Reinrnti Hie "tntemetit for the Pefense, a net Is Kepentedly Interrupt! ty G Itenn as Wdl as the District Attorney. Washington, Nov. 22. The prison van in which Guiteau was conveyed to the Court this morning was escorted by six mounted policemen in addition to the two officers who rode upon the van. The trip was made without it.cident, and after reaching the prisoner's room Guiteau partook of a hearty breakfast, and expressed himself satisfied with the police arrangements made to insure safety. He thought the same precaution should hare been observed at the outset The . Court room was crowded in every nook and corner. John W. Guiteau was in the Court room soon after 9 o'clock, and obtained subpenas for six additional witnesses. None of the gentlemen publicly invited by Guiteau to assist in the defense have yet responded. It is understood, how ever, that Scoville expects to secure the service ot Trude, of Chicago, Inter in the week. Several medical experts summoned by the defense re in attendance this morning, among them Dr. Rice, of Wisconsin, who has long known the prisoner, and who, it is said, advised his commitment to the Insane Asylum four years ago on the ground of emotional insanity. SCOVILLE RESUMES HIS STATEMENT. Guiteau was brought Into the Court room shortly after 10 o'clock, and Scoville resumed'his argument, lie called the attention of the jury to the piea set ap by the defense insanity and discussed at great length the growth and changes of public oninion unon the suhiect of insanity and its treatment by the Courts when set up as a de fense in criminal cases. .He citea numerous cases and rulines in several noted ones. He claimed that the plea of insanity having been set up by the deiense me ouruwu ot the proof rests with the prosecution. At onenoint in the anariiaaent. Scoville. in detailing the more enlightened treatment of the insane now in vogue in tne asyiuras, said in other words those in charge of asy lums act with little more reason than do inmates. Thia aallv seemed t amuse Guiteau imraensly, and a broad smile broke. over his ieatures, which reappearea iwo or three timei, as though his mind recurred to it. Scoville alluded to the prejudice which undoubtedly existed against the plea of insanity generally, and especially in the cae of the prisoner. He said the newspapers had intimated that Guiteau was only feigning insanity, and such seemed to be the general theory of the public. Guiteau turned uneaoily in hischair, and withaquick, nervous articulation said: "I never feign. I act m vself. sane or Ini-ane." Without noticing the interruption Scoville alluded to the arrest of a man at th time of President Hayes' inauguration, who was sent to the insane asylum. This man, he said, had as carefully

QUITEAU'S APPEARANCE IN COURT" IN CaiROE OP WILLIAMS.

THE GREAT TRIAL BEGTX. What promises to be the most dramatic trial in the Nation's history opened on the 14ih inüt.. and developed an ominous difference of opinion between the defending counsel, and indications either of Guiteau' iusanity or of his crafty intention to appear so. The latter will not prove an easy tabk in the face of vigilint ade periencea men interested to protect life from the murderer, and whose best energies accordingly will be to vindicate the case for the prosecution. On the other hand, tne humsn trovisions of the modern administration of the criminal law will be at the service of the prisoner. Indications were not wanting, on the first day of the trial, that the Judge will rule in points proper for his deci-i m with an even handed Justice, dealing impartially with both parties in the terrible controversy upon whe result depends the life of a humati being. The trial is being held in the eastern wing of the the City 1111, Washington, in the Court room of the District Supreme Court, Judge Walters. Cox preiding Arrangements for jurors, con usel, the press and the public are as complete as the size of the r-ora admits. Like so many Court rooms throughout the country, its ceilings are low. and proper ventilation eema to be wanting. There made all his arrangements to kill President Haves as did Guiteau to kill President Garfield, and but for his arrest might have succeeded. CORKHILL OBJECTS. "There was inst as much ground to indi cate Guiteau's insanity, which,'' said Sco ville, "even President Uarheld said: 'Why did this man do it; he must be in sane. Blaino must have believed Guiteau insane." Colonel Corkhill here arose, and with much emphasis, said: ''If you will allow me, Mr. Scoville, the President never said he thought he was insane; he thought him sane all the time. Blaine never thought him insane; he has said it under oath. He believes him sane." Sco ville explained that he spoke from information derived from the newspaers, and would not take issue on the statement He then took up the HisToav or the guiteau family, . who were of Huguenot extraction, and who had. he said, retained to the present day that marked characteristic of the sturdy adherence toreligiousc nvictions which caused the expatriation of the Huguenots. He asserted that insanity was hereditary in the family, and went on to give the story of Guiteau's life in detail. Guiteau apieared to be satisfied until Scoville plainly intimated that lack of capacity on Guiteau's part had reduced Iiis law practice to the collection of bad debts. Guiteau winced and broke out with "I brought a great many suits and gave them all they wanted on the other side." After a moment of quasi explanation to the prisoner, Scoville was about to proceed when Guiteau apparently waived his hand pleasantly to Scoville and said: "Go on, Mr. Scoville, that is AN INTERESTING STOBT, and is correct in detail." Continuing, Sco- ... . m smtm . 1 ville said in ettect that uuiteau maae a goou living and supiorted his family at this time and paid his debts. Guiteau again broke in with: "I had firstclass references as well as mv personal appearances, so I got business. Besides that, I had no bad habits of any kind." Toillusrate Guiteau's f eak-s and as an indication of his Insanity, Scoville related his rambling attempts to make a speech upon a certain occasion when he had been assigned by the Court as counsel for a prisoner on trial Guiteau again interrupted in an excited manner, and shouted: "That's absolutely false; 1 never tried a case with Charlie Keed in my life. I don't want to interfere with your theory but vour facts are false. I want a Jury to understand my peculiarities; that's all right. There are a good many people who will swear I am insane." Recess. Afternoon Session. After recess Soville resumed his story of the life of Ouiteau, using the expression "mentally inconpetent." Guiteau fretted at the imputation of a lack of brain power, and exclaimed: "N t true, and can't be shown. I always tell the truth." And again he broke in: "I had brains enough, but my mind was devoted to theology; that's why I ran behind. There's no money in the theology business. I am out of that now." 8coville spoke of his client's impecunious condition, and Guiteau said: "1 was always well dressed. Don't put that in." Scoville related an incident in Guiteau's life which his friends thought Indicated in sanity." Guiteau, with much warmth, said: "I've heard that story before, and it is absolutely false. Don't tell any such stuff as that again.' Scoville related Guiteau's varied experiences during the Moody and Sankey revivals, and his efforts and failures as a lecturer on religious subjects and the lack of appreciation shown by his audience. Guiteau thus explained: "New ideas on that subject, they hadn't got to them at that time," a id as though thinking he bad not quite made his meaning plain, he added: "I HD IDEAS, BUT KO REPUTATION, and the ideas wouldn't draw." Guiteau's belief that he was serving the Lord, and

DEPUTY .MARSHAL . was no remarkable rush to the hall of Justice. It was filled, but not to inconvenience. The auditors were not generally of a select type, and no mrrothanix women braved the discomfort ol the slttiati m in the expectation of peculiar interest. There were present in beha'f of the United State- Government. District Attorney Corkhill. Mr. (Judsre) I'.rnr. of New York, and Mr. DavMg . of Washington. Charles J. Guiteau. the prisoner, was represented br his brother-in-law. Mr. .Vcovill.'. and Mr. Leish Robinson, who had been apjx.liite-d to aMt in the defense. Mr Smith appeared for the Attorney General of the United Ktxtes. Among non-professional persons present were Mrs. Scoville, Guiteau's sister, and John Wilou Guiteau, his brother, an insurance agent of Boston. After the Court had been ope"d. the prisoner was led in by Deputy Marshil Williams, and his hand cuffs removed. He was neatly dressed m a new suit of black cloth, and appealed to be in excellent condition. UN conduct from the first was re-tless and excited. No nooner had he seated himself than he proceeded r. take a roll of paper f om htsp'M'ket, which he was w ita ditliculty persuaded ty Mr. Scoville to replace. it was the Lord's business to pay the debts incurred in his service, wa mentioned, when Guiteau laughingly said, "1 deadheaded from Toledo to Chicago on the impression my appearance made with the conductor: got put oh twice, though." Scoville, while describing Guiteau's religious experiences, was frequently interrupted by the prisoner with, "I left a $5,000 law business to do lhat work, and you all know how I made wiih it." And again, "The same kind of business the Apostle Paul was engaged in. He pot his pay and I expect to get mine some time out of that book I wrote." A moment after, with a show of enthusiasm and rai.-ing his voice. Guiteau exclaimed : "I used to ao around the streeti selling my lectures. People thought I was a book agent, and I was happier when I was doing that work than , ever before. I was working for the Lord, not for money." Scoville then alluded toGuiieau's susceptibility to influence women, and paid such was his disposition in lhat resect, that he would talk to any woman as long as she would listen to him. "That's not true." shouted Guiteau. "I put a notice in my autobiography that any lady wh i wanted to correspond with me, who would send her address, if she was all right, would be well received, and to this notice 1 got a response from a lady WORTrf $100.000. That was'nt bad, was it?" General laugh ter Scoville continued: "It is true, as he says, that the notice brought one response, which shows there is one woman in the United States that probably lias lost her reason also." This remark elicited a good deal of laughter, but not from the prisoner, who angrily exclaimed, "Wrote her two letters and she wrote two. You (Scoville) suppressed the rest. I have been looking for a response to my last letter f r three weeks, and I am certain you have lied about it. 1 tell you so publicly." He continued, raising his voice, "You can't fool me. I am going to follow her." Laughter. Scoville The letters Guiteau wrote I did not send. 'No, you did not send them. I knew you had lied about it. That is not the first lie you have told," cried the prisoner, emphaMzing his words with blows upon the table. "1 knew you had been lying. You told me you had been sending the letters, and now you say you have not." The Court (sternl) ) Be quiet District AttorneyScoville knows that if there were any such letters they never can reach the Jury, and this attempt to go to a public colloquy with this man is reprehensible. Let this man play bis part when the time comes. "I am not playing a part," cried the prisoner, excitedly, and gesticulating wildly. "I knew Scoville was lying." A QUESTION Or COMPETENCY. Scoville--I understand there is evidence coming that is perfectly competent. "As a general thing, evidence obtained from lying is not competent," retorted the prisoner. Scoville "I will not reply to Corkhill at present for his insinuation. When the time comes for the argument of this case he will get his answer." The significant tone in which this was siid brought down a storm of .applause from the spectators. "I had considered," continued Scoville, "this evidence competent." The prisoner "You will not have any success from the Lord by lying. You lie; you lie. I've found you out. When a man lies to me once I never believe him aeain. You have lied to me once, and that is played tout." The prisoner in nmkini? the speech 8eemea to oe convulsed with passion, ana it was in vain ms D rother and sister attempted to quiet him. Seville "Alii want in this case ia that the truth shall prevail." The prisoner That is what I want, and I am going to have it, loo. Scoville (to the Jury) AU I want la the trutn shall prevail, and if you believe I produce an item of evidence for theatrical effect, without the onmt conviction, that it is just and proper to be done, I want you nut only to reject it, but to charge it

Scoville The name, as I understand it,was Julius Charles. The prisoner My legal name is Charles Uuiteau. THE DErENDANT'8 LETTERS. Scoville then proposed to read a bundle oi letters written by tbe prisoner dating back to 1858, as showing the bent of his miml. The District Attorney objected to their introduction a not connected with the crime. The prisoner We will show they are aunieniic. The Judge admitted the letters. Scoville then read the letters.most of them being addressed to Mrs. Scoville, and some to himself. Those oi the earliest date (1508) show riothing peculiar, but gradually thej drift into a religious turn, quoting texts of Scripture, and appealing to his sister to turn to God. -This feature f them is marked after he had gone to the Oneida Community, the first letter from which is dated February, 1871. In this lie lays down and supports the doctrines of theConitnunity. When this latter letter wa read the prisoner said, "I forgot that letter. It is a very good representation of the influence under which I have lived for six years. I was not aware it was in existence." The last letter fr- m Oneida was dated October 18GG, and stated his views had changed; that he desired to leave the Community and go to New York to qualify for a position in some bank, and asking Scoville to send him $30. The prisoner I was recovering my insanity then got up under their inlluence. I was getting my eyes open to them. Away from these miserable people. I had been six years subject to their fanaticism. Scoville explained othersof the prisoners letters had been burned up in his office in the Chicago fire. These letters had happened to be kept. at. home. The next letters read were from Xew York and Brooklyn in 18G7 68. There were no striking peculiarities in any of these letter except where they dealt with religious subject'. Adjourned till m-m-.rr w. Conclusion of svovule' Opening State ment lie Demands the Papers Withheld by Corkhill Testimony for the Oefrnse. Washington, Nov. 23. The attendance at the Criminal Court this morning was sensibly diminished on account of a rain storm. While Gui eau wes taking his second breakfast in the City Hall he expressed dissatisfaction at the release of Jones on bail. When the Court opened Scoville made a formal reo uest for the papers taken from Guiteau at the time of his arrest, stating that thev were material evidence for the defence, and since the prosecution had not used them he could see no reason why thev should be withheld. The District Attorney offered to furnish copies of the papers, but Scoville insisted uion his riahts in the matter, and asked for the originals. Pending the discussion, Guiteau insisted upon being heard, and said: "I can throw light upon this. At the time of mv arrrest I had some forty or fifty editorial slips showing the political situation in May and June last. These slips show the action and one of the forces that impelled me to nre on tue rresident. They are very important as showing the gist of the whole matter. There were forty or fifty ot these slips denouncing President Garfield. It was living on such ideas as these that I was finally impelled on to fire on the President with my inspiration." Colonel Corkhill interrupted again, saying: "If it will enable yo to get through to-day I will send for them." During a momentary lull in the proceedings Guiteau desired to make a personal explanation, saying he used an expression yesterday that "Julius was too suggestive of a negro, and for that reason he had dropped it from his name." His prejudice was begotten twenty years ago. He meant no disrespect to any person or race, particularly to the colored race, for the were more highly thought of than the white race now-a-days. HEADING GUITEAU'8 LETTERS. Scoville continued by reading Guiteau's letters. Scoville read a letter written by Guiteau to his father, in which he spoke of having got into some trouble, and in which he asked for money. Guiteau explained the letter, saying: "One of my clients, a miserable little whelp, had me arrested on account of a little di fference of $20 betwe en us. As soon as the District Attorney's attention was called to the matter I was released. I never ought to have been srrested. but it got into the papers and did roe a good deal of harm. I had been in the theology business some time, and, as usual, was out of money. Thai's all there was in that." As the reading of the letter concluded Guiteau agiin interrupted by saying: 'l never got much from my father. He got down on me because I left the Oneida Community. We could never after that agree on that miserable, stinking community business. I am mid every time I think of it. It kept me out of fellowship with my father up to the time of his death." THE DEFENDANT A8 A POLITICIAN. Scoville resuming al.'udeJ to Guiteau's career as a politician, and drew the conclusion that his intellect was deficient. This view aroused the prisoner at once, and he began a series of interruptions protesting against Scoville's conclusions as false when reference was made to his running around from one Committee room to another seeking to be employed as a campaign speaker, and his failure to get Blaine to recognize him. Guiteau shouted angrily: "It wasn't because I had no ability, hut because I was not known. I had ideas but not reputation. They wanted big guns like General Grant and Senator Conkling, men who would draw." Then, in direct contradiction to his counsel's declaration to the Jury, yesterday, that Guiteau was a man who never made a joke in his life, he looked up with an amusing smile and added: "I presume I'd draw now." This provoked general laughter, which was promptly suppressed by the Judge, who struggled to disguise a smile upon his own features. BECOMES INDIGNANT. Scoville continued upon the same line, and criticised Guiteau's 8eech entitled "Garfield vs. Hancock." It was, he said, a mere jumble of ideas collated from the newspapers and from the speeches of others. No one but a crazy man would have imagined, as Guiteau did, that this speech posses.-ed any merit. Guiteau became more and more restless, and in the most excited manner yet shown by him shouted to Scoville: "I object to your theory on that score, and when you try to make out that I'm a fool I'm down on you. I want you to tell the truth, but you need not make me out a fool. I say the Deity inspired my act, and He will take care of it I want the truth, and that is all there is about it." Colonel Corkhill arose to protest against the interruptions of the prisoner, when Guiteau waved his hand to him patronizingly and said: "It is not necessary to make any remarks, Colonel; just let the matter drop." ANYTHING AGREEABLE TO SUBDUE HIM. Scoville was willing to agree to any measures the District Attorney might suggest to restrain the prisoner. Davidge desired to suggest a way to prevent the outbreaks. He attributed them entirely to Scoville's course in commenting upon the evidence already submitted and bis attempt to argue from it a mental infirmity in the prisoner. Guiteau

Gukeau continued to interiect his ob servations upon Scoville's theory that he (Guiteau) was deficient in intellect and protesieu mat ne would not allow his counsel to make him out a fool. After a few minutes Gateau subsided and promised the Court ho w uld keep quiet, WITNESSES FOR THE DEFENSE. Scoville concluded his ojeninr without furtl er interruption or accident. At the request of - the District Attorney the witnesses for the defence were excluded from the Court ro r,i. with the exception of Mrs. Scoville. l te prosecution, at the rennest of Mr. Scoville. made an exception in her case. The first wi.uess for the defensp. H. X. Burton, was then examined. lie testified hedidn tth.nk the prisoner K) derangtdas to be irren -nslble: he thoticht him not nranged. but very badly arranged. There was no cross examination. II. M. Davis, of Erie. Penn.. testified tn tbe knowledge of the insanity of Guiteau's aunts.

Wis., was a Dracticins Dhvsician for twentr six var and testified that he examined the pri-oner in iib ana came to the conclusion that he was insane.

He was sore the witness va doomed.

Lockwood, of Washington, stated the prisoner had boarded at her house in March, 1881. The only reason she knew for his leaving was he did not pay his board. The prisoner I was there a month. I paid $5. and I owe her $20. They are very nice ladies. That is all there is about it. Tell everybody that if you want to. Scoville What was the particular occasion of his leaving? ( Witness He transacted his' business with the head waiter. ; The prisoner There was nothing said at all. I got money and paid $5. The rest I had use for. I staid a week or two longer on the strength of that, and that is all about it. This kind of evidence is irrelevant, and I object to it. Laughter. lifter a pause): I presume there were people who thought I was a little cranky. There" is no doubt about that at all. If you want to prove it, prove it by them.

The witness Mated that Gtpteau was abrupt in his manner at the tuble. There was want of etiquette. Tne prisoner I did not know anything about ihe peopl. at the tble, hikI, of course, I kept my mouth shut. 1 did not enter in'o conversation with ilictn; lhat wat all the abruptness. Norwood D ;nis'n, of I sor,. who attended a lecture in Whii II II, said all he could understand from tbe lectute was the leop!e of Horton, and l wo-thirt'ä of mankind generally, would go don to perdition. I fcupposed the man ii sme. THE ILOGY AXD S UPIXG TREES Georjre W. O N, of Michigan, testified to Mis. ire vi He charging (m.im au w iih being ctazy and sayn g he hd attt mpt d to kill her, and akin the witness to put him otF the place, the witness re!atd how Gm fau snaoed hickory tr es. insisting they were fruit trees, and bow when weeiii"g, he pulled up more strawberries and turnips than weeds. Tlie prisoner I think we have had enough of this kind of talk. (To Scoville, who tiled to keep him quiet) Keep quiet jourelf. (To the Court) The fjct i that during the tall of 175 I spent several months trying to get hold of the Inter Ocean. I exhausted tnsel on that, and along in the spiinfI had not much law b isiness. Mr. Scoville had a very line farm and a oo imry seat in Wis-coiisitj. and I went out there in the summer of 1STC to spend a couple of months. I I did try t do some fanning woik to pay f;rniy bo.ird. That i.s all there i tn that kind of talk. I went back to C hicago and onened a law cilice, and did well theie. I always did well with law wLcu 1 stuck to my business. The District Attorney objucted to the question put by Soville to the witness. The prisoner (to the District Attorney) I hope you gentlemen will insist upon order in this mat er, and not allow this kind of thing to gxn. It has no bearing on this C -se at all. I w ill not have it. The witness was asked further as to Guiteau's troub! es with Mr-. Seville. The prisoner It is not tme. I nerer made any tr.uble with anybody. I want the absolute truth, and w hen the defence conies in with nonsense I want to protest against it, and I want vou gentlemen (add reding he counsel f jt the prosecution) to assist me in it. Davidge We will pet it all right. The prisoner--Very well, Mr. S ovllie(to witness) l);d you form any opinion as to whether he was sane or in-ane? The prisoner I objict; the wiliu-ss is not an expert. The cross-examination was very searching, and the story of the ax scene with Mrs. Scoville having been again alluded to, the prisoner declared it to be a "iie," lhat was the short way to put it. He had never used any anger to his sister at all, although no doubt fhe thought sj. As a matter ot fact it was all nonsense. In the redirect examination reference was made to the incident oi Guiteau's soaping the hickory tries. The prisoner I remember hearing of that soap business but I didn't care anything: ab tut it. 1 was studying tüeology at the time. Adjourned till Friday. The Milliard Tournament New York.
