thrown open and there was a sudden influx
of representatives Of the rougher element.
The five Jurors who were selected and sworn
yesterday, were all in attendance.
The Judge took his seat and the court was
formally opened few minutes after.l
O'Clock, and Immediately afterward the
counsel in the case and the brother and sis
ter of the prisoner entered. After the lapse
of few minutes Guiteau was rushed into
the court room in custody of half dozen
policemen, and a deputy, marshal.
The handouts We're removed from his
wrists and he shook hands with his sister
and brother and took the seat reserved for
him between them and his counsel.
Mr.. Scoville then submitted an affidavit
and made application for all order for an
additional number of witnesses, which or
der, the District Attorney making
no objection, was made by the
court. Then the additional panel
q seventy-five who were summoned
last evening was called, most Of the per
SONS responding when called.
Guiteau manifested
LESS NERVOUSNESS
and excitability than he had displayed YES
terday, although in his whispered CONVEX
sation with his brother he was quite DEM
onstratiye and earnest in his manner.
A colored barber named Howard was the
first iurorto be called and examined as to his
fitness to serve. His answers showed him
not to be disqualified from service, but the
defense challenged him peremptorily, be-
ing the fourth peremptory challenge. The
next was man named Lynch, who had
decided opinion that Guiteau ought to be
hanged or burned. He was, of course. eX-
cused rs was also the next ramcd Pailey,
who declared his belief tina: Guiteau was
crazy. The next was col-r'd man re-
markable for Il frilled shirt bos aud dra-

defense. In fact it is unde!>touu That

on the Jury. The next was an Irishman.
named Mike Shechan. withvery pronounced
brogue, who had no opinion on the subject
Of Guiteau's crime, except that the
man was out of his. head. He
was sworn as the sixth Juror.
Wm. Talbot, an iron worker answered all
the questions to the satisfaction of the de-
tense. He says he had never bothered his
head on the question of Guiteau's guilt and
was challenged peremptorily by the prose
cution. Several others in, succession we're
excused on their statement that they had
firm and decided opinions. one Of
them believed that GuiteaU ought to
be hanged and another would require
medical testimony to change his opinion.
y long faced, colored young man named
Foster declared that he was perfectly free
from any prejudice In the matter, but adj
mittcd that he had mentioned the murder
Of Mr. Garfield to several parties as quite
serious excitement. He was challenged by
the defense Samuel F. Hobbs, native Of
Maryland, and plasterer by trade, am
swered all the questions satisfactorily and
was sworn in as the seventh juror.
&. W. Gales, young man, a native Of
Washington, a merchant by trade, answered
all the questions satisfactorily and was
sworn as the eighth juror. After that, for
about an hour. every man who was called
confessed he had formed firm or decided
or IN u,eiablc opinion on the question
OF the pris0por's guilt and was excused.
There was one exception, in the person of
by occupation, who thought he coplhren-
der fair verdict. He said he had not tcsa>
more about the case than he did in ordinary .
cases of the kind. He did not believe
everything he read in the newspapers
because they had published things about
himself that were not true. He could not
say whether the President was shot hv the
prisoner until he could hear the testimony.
OF course If any insane man did the shoot
inghc would be as much guilty rs anybody
else. The crazy part Of the business
was something else. No sensible man could
have done such a thing. After consultation
between counsel of the prisoner and his
brother, Scoville said the defense would ac-
cept the juror, and Wormly was, sworn .S
the 9th juror.
The list Of scventy-five talcEmen havingV Y
been exhausted. .the Marshal wa, ordered
to SUMMON another list Of scycnty-liye for
tomorrow.
Court at 1920 p. III. adjourned.
