WAsHISGToS, DC, December g6.-Mal
shal Henry, in an interview to-day, re
plying to Mrs. sCoville's statemen
in which she said she did no
go to him and ask him to have he
husband protected, said; "she cam
into my office with bundle OF letters ant
said her husband was in danger | tolC
her did not think that any one woulC
hurt him, but II she needed guard hat
not the men at my command to furnish II
She said she did not want guard stationed
at the house. She said she had seen Mayo
Brock and failed to get any satisfaction
and came to me. When / told hel
could not furnish guard sht
said she would see Judge Carter
She wanted the authoritiesto be warned
and on the lookout to prevent any harm
being done. Now, II she was not seeking
protection ! don't know what she did
want"
"Is there any danger Of scoville being at
tacked2" asked the reporter,
"None at all; why should any person at
tack him2 Mrs. SCoville Is peculiar wo.
man, and reminds me considerably OF
Guiteau, l think they are q good deal
alike"
"In what other way has she complain
ed?"
"Well, she says that the whole country
Is against her brother, and that the Gov
ernment with Its boards Of money Is doing
n,,np,,Nbtou nnuutIN1o N bunu him Az tho
same time she is pushing down In her
pocket 5000 Of Government money that she
has been paid for coming here TO testify
for her brother. She don't think how much
money the Government is paying out to
let her brother have airtrial,"
"What does she think you ought 10 do?"
"That Is hard to toll. She complained
the other day that | did not protect Guiteau,
and 1t was my duty to do so | told her
my first duty was to see he did not escape,
and that was being attended to- She seem.
cd surprised at this statement, and'wanted
to know where In the world h0 could 60 II
he got away. told her l did not know;
that was not my business, but 1t was my
business to see that he did notget away. 1
think she Is strange woman"
an what respcCtW
"Why look at her In tho Court room. Do
you know any lady OF your acquaintance
that would 90 into that Court room and
question witnesses being examined on the
stand don't believe you do. Then shU
will sit there and laugh at tho sayings OF
Guiteau rs II she thought them smart, and
II only encourages him TO keep up. ! tell
you she Is like him, only she may not have
as much egotism MS he has got"
elias she gone homer"
~ believe she has. She got her money
from the government that she says Is
against them and is doing nothing for them,
and ! understand has left for home."
"What do you think OF the idea Of put
ting Guiteau in the doCk?'
~ think ho should have been put there
long ago. II | had my way he would be
there. would move the ladies from TINT
locality and let men occupy those seats. ]
think then he would behave himself and
DO more decent. 1would not be surprised
II tho Judge sent him to the dock pretty
soon, for he Is getting tired OF his condnct." !"
"Do you think the jury will convict
him?"
Certainly. How can they do other
wiso2 1t is II pretty plain case against him,
| should think, and one that ought not to
require much time to deliberate over"
