District Attorney CorkhiI Talks with
 the Prisoner.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-District Attorney Corkhil visited Guiteau to-day and had a long conversation with him. ''Was any per son present besides yourself and Guiteau?" the attorney was asked tonight. 'sYes, Warden Crocker was there" ''Did you go to the cel1?'' No, he was brought out into the rotunda'' ''How did he look?'' 'sHe seems to be in good health. I should think from his appearance he had gained at least ten pounds since he was first imprisoned He was not excited and did not show any ner- vousness. I don't think he appeared cooler in his life. He talked in manner to show that he fully understood all that was being said.'' 'tWhat was the object of your visit?" tsIt was to see him in connection with his case" "What transpired?" ''I told him the grand jury would meet next Monday, and his would be the first case presented for con sideration, and didn't doubt but an indict- ment would be found by them" ''What answer did he make to the anuonce- ment?" "He didn't appear surprised, and said it was all right lie naQ auL1Clpdt6u It WOulu COul0 duu COulu not expect anything else. He knew l had duty to perform and thanked me for coming to. thus see him and notify him." ''Was any thing farther said on the subject?' ''Yes I told him when an indictment was found and the time arrived for his arraignment there might be some preliminary matters that his counsel would like to know about and if he intended to have counsel he had best secure it. I told him if there was any attorney whose services he decided to secure and would let me know the one would let him know. He asked me to send for his brother in-law, MT. George Scoyille, of Chica- go, and I did telegraph for him to-day" :" ''Is that all the lawyer he wants ?" ''No sir, he said he would like to have other eminent counsel as he termed it, and mentioned NIT. Emory Storrs of Chicago, whom he thought would make an able defense for him. He has not then fully decided on what attorneys nor what number he will employ?" Nothing will be done about that until his brother-in- law arrives and then presume the matter will be settled" Has anything been said about the President ?' ''He said, I hear the President is dead, but I didn't answer him and went on talking about something else'' ''What steps have been taken by you towards progress with the case" 'All the subpoenaes on the part of the government for it's witnesses were sent tonight instructing them to be here next DS placed in the hands of the grand jury They will work on it without interruption until they finish D "What witnesses have been summoned ?" 'sAn that I thought had the slightest knowledge of the case. There are fifteen in all, believe; among them Drs Agnew, Hamilton, Bliss, and all the physi- clans who attended the President" How soon will the trial follow the indictment? ?" Every soon, am inclined to think. don't see why any good reason can be offered for delay. He didn't show his victim much chance to do anything but suffer and die; :" stHe will be indicted for murder ?'' 'Of course. and we will try him for murder. :" '"Then you admit that there is law sufficient Lere to cover the crime and try the man for murder?" ''I have never expressed myself on the subject because don't think it proper to do 50 under the circumstances. can only say if the man is indicted for murder, and am sure that he will be, he will un- doubtedly be prosecuted for murder and law sufficient will be found for it."
