JUDGE JOHN K. PORTER,

OS" COUNSEL FROSECOTIKG GCITKAU. The fame attained by Judge Porter as one of counsel for the great preacher in the Tilton-Boecher trial, great as it was, will probably bo exceeded as the result of liis being retained by the Government to assist in the prosecution of the assassin of the late Chief Magistrate of the United States. In the Beecher trial, as it is callcd in short, Mr. Porter acted subordinate^ or in association with some of the best lawyers in the country. Even under such circumstances his industry and eloquence earned him an enviable notoriety. He was particularly strong in invective. No lawyer engaged in the case made a more forcible use of the weapons, BO terrible in the hands of a fluent and scholarly counsel, of sarcasm and the direct assailment of the man who, according to his theory, had delib erately and shamefully sought to ruin a great and noble minister. So strong then, what an oppoitunity is given him now, as probably the ablest and the acknowledged head of the prosecuting lawyers, to denounce the fiendish act of the murderer who slew his country's head and plunged tiie civilized world in grief. Judge Porter is in the prime ot his powers, and the cause in which he is now engaged is worthy of his greatest efforts. He will doubtless be found oquhl to the occasion.

District Attorney Corkhill is fortunate in his associate, who is an adept in criminal law as well as a mas' effective advocate. His capability in both these directions was very conspicuously seen in the Whiskey Ui»% trials at St Louis.

Judge Porter has his office in New York city.

The Woold-be Assassin Captured After a Fast Ride, and Lodged in Jail-

An Attempt to erminala GuiteauWASHINGTON, November 19.—Guiteau was shot at after leaving the court room to-day, on the way to the jail, his assailant firing through the side of the van.

PARTICULARS.,^

The driver ot the prison van gtves the following particulars of the attanipt t« shoot uuiteau. The facts are substantially these: Upon the adjournment of court the van started as usual for the jail, having one policeman as a guard, who sat on the seat with the driver. Before reaching the Capitol, the guard noticed a young man on horseback riding leisurely behind the van. Near the corner of East Capitol and First street the horseman rode directly up to the rear of the vau and hastily peered through the small graling. Guiteau was alone in the van, and seated on the right hand side, the seats running lengthwise oT the van Alter evidently satiBlying himself of the location of the prisoner, the horseman wheeled suddenly to the left of the van and fired directly through it. He then dashed to the front ot the van and pointed his pistol at the driver, with the evident intention of intimidating him or stopping the van. Tho driver was somewhat excited, and in response to the inquiry ot the reporter, said perhaps he intended to fstbp the van by sfcootiny ope of the horses. Seeing an atoned policeman bv claimed. "I'VE SHOT THE G" I^OF A B1 and putting spurs to.liis horse dashed down East Capitol street in the direction of the Congressional Cemetery. The policeman fired one shot at the fast disappearing horseman and the driver of the .van whipped his horses into a gallop and kept in sight of him for several blocks. The would-be avenger was, however mounted upon a blooded horse, and easily escaped out into the country. He was described as a smooth-faced man about twenty-five years of age and a dashing horseman. He had on a dark brown suit.

ONLY A SCRATCH. "V

The van then proceeded to the jail, and Guiteau was taken out in a state

great excitement. He exclaimed, "I have been shot! Notify Major Brock at once and tell him to arrest the scoundrel and have him dealt with as he deserves." On examination it was found the ball had only grazed Guiteau's left wrist, inflicting a mere scratch. The ball struck the opposite side of the van and fell upon the floer where it was foand UDon reaching he a 5 I

T«E WJc£D-BB SliAYEB:

The announcement of the'attempt upon Guiteau's' life cteated intense excitement upon the streets, and all sorts of rumors were at once in circulation. The wouldbe killer was seen about the Court House this afternoon, and attempted to gain admission during the day, but failed. He was also seen to mount his horse near the Court House soon after the van left, and ride leisurely after it. It was rumored that he hailed from Illinois, but there seems to be no foundation for the report.

PROPHETIC WHISPERS.

It was whispered in the crowd without the Court House, just previous to adjournment, that to-day would be the last day of the trial. A remark was also heard in the crowd that if one wanted to see Guiteau they had better do so to-day. This would lead to the belief that more than one person was aware that the attempt would be made.

7^ A LIVELY CHA8E. WABHISGTOK, NOV. 19.—-Bill Jones is the name by which the would-be^assassin in familiarly known in the District of Columbia, where he has been all his life. He is well known in ]olice circles. One of the officers at the station said: "Bill Jones Why we know him as well as we know where the sun rises." For many years a man named Bates carried on the business of a soap-maker. He became well-to-do, and purchased a farm, which adjoins the Chase-Sprague estate at Edge-

wood, retired to It and died. Bill Jones who had married Bates* daughter, inherited the property and has since then lived a happy-g«-lucky, dare-devil life. He had a fine farm and sufflcient money for his tastes. Be was, the police say, seldom sober. He is fond of his cups and sometimes has had epileptics fits.

The most that they will do with him, said the officer, will be to call him a "crank" and give him a term at the asylum. He has not made the police trouble generally, but is known as a man who would have the courage to do anything when in liquor. This corresponds with the description of the man on whose trial Capt. Yenner said he was seon after the •hopting.

THE CAPTURE ,i

Of Bill Jones was effected in this manner: The vicinity of the Capitoltgrounds whtn Congress is not in session is so' quiet a place that a horseman madly dashing down the Capitol hill is not likely to escape notice. Bill Jones did not. When he fired at Guiteau he was immediately* in front of the Capitol, at the eastern extremity |of the Capitol grounds He spurred his horse in an easterly direction until he reached the street running north ward near the Baltimore and Ohio, track which he followed to the Baltimore and Ohio depot, when, turning north, thev passed the depot the police officer an a tioned there recognized the rider as he Jones. Soon afterwards this same officer was notified by a general alarm from police headquarters that &uiteau had been shot at by a man en a sorrel horse. Thie officer instantly telegraphed to headquarters that Bill Jones naa just ridden down Capitol hill on a sorrel horse, and was headed toward his farm cn the Glenweod road near Queen's station. The police in all the outlying districts were immediately notified, and before Bill Jones ceuld have reached the city limits mounted police were watching for him on every road leading from Washington in that direction. Two were sent down the Bladensburg road, and that detail subsequently proved to have been a wise one. The officer who first discovered his trail, found him on the Seventh street road at a drinking place bevond the Soldiers' home. The officer had been icif structed to look for him there, as th# place was known to be a

FAVORITE HAUNT OF JONES,

and it was to be persumed that after £|s long, hard rule he would stop fer a drink. The officer found Jones' sorrel horso at the door, warm, but not much blown, and entering ne discovered Jones at the bar. "You are under arrest," said the officer, "come along

Jones had no objection. In fact, he was at the time enteitaining the bar-room audience with the story of his exploits, and had said that he had fought Guiteau and ended the great trial. The police officer had already heard along the road that Jones hid stopped to boast of it to others. The officer did not search Jones or take away his pistol. There he

He also did not ask Jones to exchange horses with himfor to insist that he should walk to the nefieat nrctttftiOK Consequence 4was that the officer lost his prisoner. -They had not left the drinking place very far Jjebind, Wheo farmer Bill Jones said ijomfthln£j,pJi|s littfe sofret The nag id, for in a seemed' to understate few erv scconda the distauce tietwee'^ the brown sorrel and the police horse was very :considerable and "You should have seefa her go," said the officer who kne,w the most about it:. "There is not a horse in the police service that could keep within sight of her." The policeman tried to stop him by a bullet aad Bill Jones returned the compliment. Neither bullet hit and Bill Jones and his sorrel mare started on the back road between the Soldiers'. home towards the Bladensburg country. The officer, rather sorrowful is said to have returned to the nearest police station to tell that he did not have the prisoner. Around the Soldiers' Home park, down the 6teep hill Jones made his way most leisurely arrived at Lamerton lodge, the eastern gate of the Soldiers' home, he turned northeasterly toward Bladensburg,

MASSING HIS OWS FARM,

In the direction of a gin mill in the doubtful border country near the famous Bladensburg duelling ground. This, by the way that Bill Jones took, was fully six miles from the spot where he took leave of the policcman with his heavyfooted steed, At this rum-shop the two mounted police that had been sent eastward from the Capitol hill along the Bladensburg pike, found the trail of the rollicking fugitive. They knew nothing of the cxperiencc of the other policemen, but they took pains not to luse their prisoner. They took his pistol from him. They tied his horse between their horses, and the fleet-footed brown nag, tired from a jaunt which could Hot have been much less than twelve miles, seemed pleased at not being forced to another race, for which it was not to have an opportunity.

The officer took their prisoner to the neitest station, the Seventh street precinct, near the boundary, at the foot of Howardcollege hill. There he will be kept in custoay till Monday.

WASHINGTON, NOV. 22.—The van in which Guiteau was conveyed rm esc in ad( two officers who rode upon the van. The trip was made without any incident and after reaching the prisoner's room Guiteau partook of a .hearty breakfast and expressed himself satisfied with the police arrangements made to insufe his safety. He thought the same' precaution should have been observed at the outset The court room was crowded in every nook and corner. John Guiteau was in the court room soon after 9 o'clock and obtained subpoenas for six additional witnesses.

None of the gentleman plublicly in-

vited by Guiteau to assist in the defence have yet responded. It is understood, however, that Scoville expects to secure the services of Trade, of Chicago, later in the week. Several medical experts, summoned by the defense are 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 an insane asvlum four years ago on the grounds or emotional insanity.

Guiteau was brought into the court room shortly after 10 o'clock and Scoville resumed the argument. He called the attention of the jury to the plea set up by the defense, of insanity and discussed at great length the growth and changes of public opinion upon the subject ot insanity and its treatment by the courts when sot up as a defense in criminal cases. He riled numerous cases and the ruling in eral noted ones. He claimed that "the of insanity having been Set up by the ense, the burden of proof rests with the ution. one point in the argument Scoville, detailing the more enlightened treat-

Cid.

ent of of the insane man in asylums, In other words those in„charge of •fetylums act with a little more reason ^ban do the inmates. This sally seemed to amuse Guiteau immensely and a broad •mile broke over his features which re-appeared two or three times as if his mind recurred to it. Scoville alluded to the prejudice which, undoubtedly existed ^gainstthe plea of insanity generally, esipeeially in the case of the prisoner. He the newspapers had intimated that itean was only feigning insanity, and ich seemed to be the general theory of the public. Guiteau turned uneasily in is chair and with a quick nervous articulation said, "I never feign, I act myself %ane or insane." Without noticing the interruption Scoville alluded to the arrest of the man at the time of President Hayes' inauguration who was sent to the Insane asylum. This man, he »aid, had ,af carefully made all his arrangements to kill President Hayes as did Guiteau to kill President Garfield and hut for his arrest might have succeeded.

There was just as much ground to indicate Guiteau's insanity. Why, said Scoville. even President Garfield said, "Why did this man do it he must be insane." Blaine must have believed Guiteau insane.

Col. Corkhill here arose and with much emphasis said, "If you will allow me, Mr. Scoville, the President never said he thought Guiteau was insane he thought him sane all the time. Blaine never thought him insane he has suid under oath he bfclievcs him sane."

Scoville explained that he spoke from information derived from newspapers and would not take issue on the statement. He then took up the history of the Guiteau family, who wore of Huguenot extraction and who had, he |said, retained to the present day a." a marked characteristic, the sturdy adherence to religious convictions, which caused the expatriation of the Huguenots. He asserted that his insanity was hereditary and went on to give the story of Guit eau's life in detail. Guiteau appearedto be satisfied until ScOvillc plainly intimated that a lack of capacity on Guiteau's, part had reduced his law practice to tnecdljectioh of trad, debts. Guiteau winced and broke qut with, "I brought a great many suits and I generally gave them all they wanted on the other side," After a moment of quail liplpndtion to the prisoner, Scoville was about to proceed when Gyiteau apparently waved his hand pleasantly to' Scoville ard said, "Go on Mr. ScoVille, that's an interesting story and is correct in detail." Continuing, Scoville said iu effect that Guiteau made a good living and supported his family at this time and paid his debts. Guiteau again broke in with, '.'I had first class references as well as,my personal appearance, so I got business. Besides that I had no bad habits of any kind."

To illustrate Guiteau's freaks and as an indication of his insanity, Scoville related his rambling attempt to make a speech upon a certaia occasion when he had been assigned by the court as counsel for a prisoner on trial, when Guiteau again interrupted in an excited manner and shouted That's absolutely false. I never tried a case with Charlie Reed in my life. I don't want to interfere, with your thecry, but your facts are false. I want the juxy to understand my peculiarities that's all right. There are a good many people who will swe^r I am insane''. ..." ..?*

BCOVILLK'B MAIL.

.u Spealal to Boston Herald, i-'-rv' Scoville's mail is, perhaps, the oddest ever received in America. Cranks are the principal correspondents, but many letters are received from men who send valuable suggestions, or who sfej that' they are ready to give evidence in the ease that will Mnefit the prisoner. One ferious letter received today from a negro in Georgia, contained a skull and cross bones vety neatly drawn and a few appropriate epithets. Ordinarily Guiteau would not have sees this, but it fell by accident into some paperr carried to him at the jail this morning by his brother. The latter picked it up as it dropped from the folds cf the papers, and strove to conceal it, but Guiteau saw it and insisted that it should be given him. He opened it, and, looking at it for a moment, said: "You need never conceal anything of that sort from me. I don't mind that a particle I spit on it," suiting the action to the word,

spit on it," and

threw it, torn in two, on the floor. Another letter received to-day was from a man whowas a roommate of Guiteau's at the Oneida Community settlement. He spoke of his self-love, which caused him to be mnforgetful of self, no mattei what the crisis might be. There was an alarm of fire one night at the settlement. All the inmates of Guiteau's room, save himself, ran down into the court-yard and assisted to put out the fire. Returning to the room, having ex

tinguished the flames, they found Guiteau completely dressed in his best suit, his face and hands neatly washed, and his hair newly brushed. His bed had been placed to air. He was feady to go to the fire.

From" Wednesday's Dally. YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.

vV ASHING TON, Nov. 22.—After reccss Scoville continued the story of Guiteau's life, his attempts at lecturing, his evan gelical work &c., being frequently inter* jupted by the prisoner. Guiteau said he was in the same business that the Apostle Paul was in and that he was happy where he was selling his lectures because he was working for the Lord. Scoville alluded to Guiteau's susceptibity to the influence of woman and said he would talk to one all day if she would listen to him. Scoville read a number of letters from Guiteau to himself and Mrs.

WASHINGTON, NOV. 28.—The attend ance at the Criminal Court this morning was sensibly diminished on account of a rain sterm. While Guiteau was taking his second breakfast at the City Hall he expressed dissatisfaction at he release of Jones on bail.

When court opened Scoville made a formal request for the papers taken from Guiteau* at the time of his arrest, stating that they were material evidence for the defence and since the prosecution had not needed them he could see no reason why they should be withheld. The DistrictAttorney offered to furnish copies of the papers hut Scoville insisted upon rights in the mstter 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 my arrest I had thirty or tortv editorial slips showing the situation in May and June. These slipe show the action and one of the forces that impelled me on to the President. Thev are very important, as showing the gist of the whole matter. There were forty or fifty slips denouncing President Garfield. It was living on such ideas as these that I was finally impelled to fire on the President with my inspiration."

Col. Corkhill interposed again, sayidg, "If it will enable you to get through today, I will send i"or them at once."

During a raomentarv lull in the proceedings Guiteau desired to make a personal explanation, saying he had used the expression yesterday that Julius was too suggestive of the negro race and for that reason he had dropped it from his name. His prejudice was begotten 20 years ago. He meant no disrespect to any person or any race, particularly not to the colored race, for they were more hiphly thought of than the white race now a-days."

Scoville continued by reading Guiteau's letters. Ho read a letter written by Guiteau to his father in which he spoke of having gotten into som« 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 difference of $20.00 between us. As soon as the District Attorney's attention whs called"y to the matter I,: was relc&sed. I never ought to have been arrested but it eot into the papers, and did me a good deal of harm. I had been in theology business some time and as usual was out of money., That's all there Was in that."

As the reading of ihe letter was conclu ded Guiteau again interrupted saying, "I never got much from my father. He got down on me because 1 left the Oneida Community. We could never after that agree on that miserable, stinking Community business. I'm mad every time I think oi it. It kept me out of fellowship with my father up to the time of his death." a

Scoville, resuming, alluded to Guiteau's career as a politition and drew the conclusion that his intellect was deficient. TTiis view aroused the prisoner at once and he began a series of interruptions, protesting against Scoville's conclusion as false. When reference was made to his running around from one committee room to another seeking to be employ as campaign speaker, and his failure to obtain recognitton was mentioned, Guiteau shonted angrily, "It wasnt be1 had no abltity, but 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 of his counsels declaration to the jury yesterday that Guiteau was a man who never made a joke in hia life, he looked up with, an amused smile and added, "I presume I'd draw now." This provoked a general laughter which was promptly suppressed by the Judge who struggled to disguise a smile upon his own features.

Scoville continued upon the same line and criticised Guiteau's speech, entitled "Garfield vsHancocK." It was, he said, a mere jumble of ideas collated from newspapers and from the speeches of others. No one but a crazy man would have imagined, as Guiteau aid, that this speech possessed any merit. Guiteau be* came 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 rou nekl not try to make me out a fool. I say Deity inspired my act and he will take care of it. I want the truth and that's all there is about it

Col. Corkhill arose to protest against the interruption of the prisoner, when Guiteau waved his hand to him patronizingly, and said, '"Tis not necessary to make any remarks, Colonel just let the matter drop."

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 outbreaks. He attributed them entirely to Scoville and the course pursued in commenting upon the evidence already submitted and his attempt to argue from it mental infirmity on the part of the prisoner. Guiteau listened intently, and striking hig

clenched hand upon the table in front of him, exclaimed, "I agree with that all though, and I desire to thank the prosecution, every one of them, for the liberal

and I commend him for it." Guiteau continued to inteiject his observations into Scoville's theory that he, (Guiteau) was deficient in intellect, aad protested that he would not allow his counsel to make him out a fool. After a few minutes Guiteau subsided and promised tho court he would keep quiet.

Scoville concludra the opening without further interruption or Incident. At the request of the District Attorney, the witnesses for the defense were excluded from the court room with the exception of Mrs. Scoville. The Prosecution, at tho request of Mr. Scoville, made the exception in her case.

The first witness for the defense, H. Burton was then examined. He testified that he did not think tho prisoner so deranged sa to he irresponsible, thought him not deranged, but very badly arranged. No cross examination of this witness.

H. M. Davis, of Erie, Pa., testified to at knowledge of the insanity of one of Guiteau's aunts.

Thompson Wilcoxson, of Free port, III., knew Guiteau's father and described hi* peculiarities.

Dr. John A. Rice, of inioe, Wi^ a practicing physiciau of S6 years exp&lence, testified that he had examined the: prisoner in 1876 and came to the conclusion that he was insane. His insanity was emotionalrather than intellectual. There appeared to be impairment of judgment,, but not much if any impairment of intellect. He told his mends Guiteau ought to be secluded.
