WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Pressure to obtain
admission to the court room this morning
was notably greater than yesterday. After the
ushers had exercised the right of selection and
admitted two or three scores of well dressed,
respectable looking people, including Penn
sylvania member of congress accompanied by
ladies, the doors were thrown open. Then came
sudden and impetuous influx of representa-
| tives of the rougher element.
The five jurors sworn yesterday were early
| in attendance. Court was formally opened a
few minutes after 10 o'clock, and Immediately
afterwards counsel in the case, and the brother
and sister of the prisoner entered. After the
lapse of few minutes Guiteau was hurried
| into the court room in custody of half dozen
policemen and deputy marshal. His hand
cuffs were removed and he shook hands with
his sister and brother, and all took a seat
reserved for him between them and his
counsel.
ScovilIe then submitted an affidavit, and
made application for an order for an addition.
al number of witnesses, which order was
made by the court. Then the additional
panel of Is summoned last evening was called,
most of the persons responding when called.
Guiteau manifested less uneaslness and ex-
citability than yesterday, although in his
whispered conversation with his brother he
was quite demonstrative and earnest in his
manner.
A colored barber, named Leonard, was the
first juror to be called and examined as to his
fitness to serve. His answers showed him to
be not disqualified from service but tho
defense challenged him peremptorily, 1t being
the fourth peremptory challenge.
Next was man named Lynch who had a

hanged or burned. He was excused, as was
also the next, named Bailey, who declared his
belief that Guiteau was crazy.
The next was a colored man, remarkable
for his frilled shirt front and dramatic pos.
teures, and the manner in which he related the
history of his past life. He was peremptorily
challenged. In fact it is understood that
Guiteau is resolved not to have any colored
man on the jury.
Sheehan, with very pronounced brOgue,
who had no opinion on the subject of Quit
eau's crime, except that the man was out of
his head. He was sworn as the sixth juror.
VIM. Tabor, an iron molder, having an
swerd all questions 10 the satisfaction of the
defense, saying he had never bothered his
head on the question of Guiteau's guilt, was
challenged peremtorily by the prosecution.
Several others in succession were excused
decided opinions. One of them believed Gui.
teau ought to be hanged, ana another would
require convincing medical testimony to
change his opinion.
A long-faced, young colored man, named
Foster, declared he was perfectly free from
any prejudice in the matter, but he had men-
toned the murder of Garfield to several par
ties as quite serious accident. He was chal-
lenged peremptOrily for the defense.
2Qmrn1 HnhhS q nqfiVa Nf MARYLAND rlac-
terer by occupation, answered all questions
satisfactorily, and was sworn as the seventh
juror.
G. w. Gates, young man, native of
Washington, machinist, was sworn as
eighth Juror.
After that for about an hour every man
called confessed he had formed decided opin-
ion or unalterable views on the question Of the
prisoners guilt and was excused. There were
one or two exceptions. One was the person
Of colored man named Ralph Wermley,
plasterer by occupation, who thought he
could render far verdict, and VIII o said he
had not read more about the case than he did
in ordinary cases; he did not believe every
thing he read in the newspapers, because they
had published things about himself that was
not true; he could not say whether the presi-
dent was shot by the prisoner until he would
hear the testimony; of course
If an insane man did the
shooting he would be as much guilty as any.

something else; no sensible man could have
done such thing. After consultation be-
tween counsel and the prisoner and his broth.
er, Scoville said the defense would accept the
juror, and SO Wormley was sworn in as the
ninth juror.
The list of IS having been exhausted, the
court summoned another list of IS for to-
morrow and then adjourned.
There was some difficulty found in MAIN
tanning order among the crowd Of spectators
present to listen to the proceedings. There
were no manifestations Of ill will against
the prisoner, except now and then a Slight
disposition to applaud the expressions occa-
sionally made by those being examined for jury
duty, to the effect that they were of decided
opinion that the assassin out to be hanged.
The cause of the disorder was the over-crowd-
ing of the platform assigned the public, and
efforts of o number of young men, of whom
the audience was chiefly composed, to secure
more available places.
Secretary Blaine, principal witness for the
government, to prove the shooting of Presi-
dent Garfield by Guiteau, was notified to appear
In court tomorrow.
