Cnitean's conduct. except at the opening scene,
was an improvement as compared with that Oh yes
terdav. At the opening of the Court before the
prisoner was brought in Mr. ScOvile addressed
the Judge asking him to enforce quiet on the part
of the nrisoper He was continuing with request
that an order be issued prohibiting any ofhclai AT
the iail or elsewhere from giving to the press any
thing which Guiteau might write, when the prs
oner entered and caught the purport OF his remarks
Guiteau, with flashing eyes, and with extreme
anger displayed in every feature, arose ana ue-
noupced his counsel as n double-deaer. MT. SEQ
willie tried to quiet the prisoner, bnt his anger
seemed TO increase. When Judge Cox commanded
fbe prisoner to be silent and proceeded TO say some
thing Guiteau continued his angry defamation
;nterrnnt,np the Judge and asserting that he dli
from the Court during the trial. he would have new
trial by the Court in 6anc When he wasselzed by The
officers he shook them off, snarled at them in
Anrrv of passion. called them scoundres, and bade
them mind their own business. He made remarks
at times during the remainder of the session, but
with the exception narrated he seemed peaceably
and indeed humorously inclined. He passed much
of his time reading the papers and writing. Occa-
sionally he looked up at witnesses and smiled good
bumoredly as the circumstances surrounding the
assassination were alluded TO, occasionally inter
iectng explanatory remarks of his own into the tes-
firlonv given by witnesses. 81 might observe that
to-day have had the first square meal since July
% he said, as a witness expressed the opinion
that he was feshier on the shooting than now. He
enioyed his own salies and laughed heartily at them.
]. Stanley Brown detailed his experience with
Gniteau at tie White Honse, and DisJrct-AttCrney
Corkhill read the letters Guiteau had sent to the
President and others about political matters. The
most interesting witness was Officer Patrick Kear
nev \ broad-shGuldered full-bcarded lrishman.
Ever since the shooting there has been irrepreSs
ble controversy between Kearney and Mr.. Pdrke,
the ticket agent at the Pennsylvania Depot, each
claiming to have been the FIRST TO seize the prisoner
The employees and attendants about the depot have
been drawn into the dispute, and have enlisted as
partisans on either side. Yesterday Mr.. Parkc had
his Innings" He testified to his own part III the
arrest to the effect that he leaped out of his ticket
Office window and seized the prisoner by the collar
and wrist before any other person reached
OF identified him. He was coHoborated
bv two or three witnesses yesterday and to-day.
Mr. DuBalTy, a civil engineer IL the service of the
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad. testified with emphasis that
lie saw Guteau fire his two shots and then turn and
run directly INTO the arms of Officer KeaTney.
Keaneys own testimony cannot be reproduced
upon paper. His brogue ard the merry twinkle Of
bis ewes together with the Quaintness of his eX-
pressions were inimiiable The unnecessary en-
phasis with which he asserted, "before God in
deed that his version the only Trustworthy
one was evidence that he believed the question,
"Who first seized Guiteau /" to be the most i'm
portabt one to be settled by the COurt At the
conclusion of his examination there occurred
a comparison of views between the prisoner and the
witness each addressing the other and ignoring
Judge aud counsel, which reminded pay-gOers OF
Colonel Sellers and his Court. Guiteau fully in
dOrsed Keaney.
Tue prosecution expects to finish its examination
