WASHINGTON, October 14.-After the
star-routc cases were disposed OF it became
known in the courtroom that the arraign-
mcnt Of Guiteau was actually TO take place

tV marshaS, having between them and

figure OF the man for whom they made
way TO a seat reserved FOR him beside his
counsel. Then one OF the guards unlocked
the handouts. giving the prisoner the use
of his hands, which he continued, how
ever. TO hold ne il that was their usual PC
sition. Guteau looked broken in health
and uncmed-for in person. His hair is
closely cropped, but his check and chin
whiskers are worn thick but not long. His
dark clothes were rusty and shabby, and
his whole person presented miserably-
neglected appearance.
After the excitement attending his en-
tmnce had subsidized, District-Attorney
CorkhiIl rose and addressing the Judge
said "The grand jury OF the District OF
Columbia has indicted Charles J. Guiteau
for the murder of James A. Garfield. The

dictment, prisoner standing up with his
/ head most OF the time inclined-to the right
I shoulder; his eyes half closed or wholly so

they still wore the handouts, and his gene
! raj air that Of sickly indifference. The read
/ inc occupied nearly half an hour, and du-
ring all that time Guiteali hardly changed
/ his attitude or bearing and rarely opened
his ewes. He did not manifest the slightest
I degree of interest in the scene in which he
was the chief actor, and, but for an oeca-
sional slight movement, might be supposed
To be asleep in n standing attitude.
Upon the conclusion OF the reading OF
fbe indictment, the clerk, addressing phi
sOner, said:
"What say you 10 TINS mdlctlheht,
