WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 10,-The
crowd about the court house this morn
ing was far greater than upon any form
or day. 1t was with great difficulty

court room could gain admission. To
avoid the otherwise inevitable scramble
il has been found necessary to issue
tickets of admission, and only ticket
holders are permitted TO enter.

Guiteau's alleged new counsel, Judge
MagrudeE Of Maryland. He stated he
was not aware of any tender of services
from Judge MagruGer. He had received
several offers from lawyers, strangers to
him, but feared he might make great
mistake by taking, at this late stage of
the trial, counsel unknown to him rath-
er than proceed alone. He does not ex-
poet other assistance than Robinson.
The court opened without incident
and Geo. c. Maynard, electrician, was
put OH the stand and testified TO looming
