ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

WASHINGTON NOV. 10. AS thomson sat
down, after moving for al extension Of
time yesterday, Guiteau arose and said:
'If your Honor please, l desire to address
the Court" His manner was calm and
business like. People rose to their feet
all over the room, but there was no dis
turbance. He went on: 81 did not know
that my counsel was not ready to make
his speech this morning. 1 desire to speak
for myself. 1 am here on a murderous
charge, and l desire to be heard in my
wi Defense"
'sThis is not the time to enter upon the
Defense" said Judge Cox quietly.
at is only in question whether more
time is necessary for preparing for the de-
fense."
'tIt is not needed" said Guiteau. "We
are ready to go on with the case now"
Robinson smiled at this, and asked
Guiteau to sit down. The prisoner said,
.'You keep still" But he did sit down,
and muttered as he did SO. 1--WE are ready
to go ahead now"
Col. Corkhill said he saw no reason why
the time should be extended.
Mr.. Robinson made affidavit that the
ground on which he asked for delay was
in order to get the necessary witnesses
and counsel. He said he was practically
alone in the case, and he needed some one.
There was an evident split between Sco-
vile and Robinson. Scoville, addressing
the Court, said Robinson's application
was made without his knowledge, which
was certainly q strange proceeding, since
he had not even seen the affidavit, nor
heard what counsel hoped to get. For his
part he was ready to 60 on with the trial.
He knew he was incompetent to go ahead
without assistance, but he had hoped with
Robinson's aid to be able to proceed.
Even now he hoped to be OF some assist
anc to Robinson, but II he was to go on
in this way he (Scoville) should withdraw.
Here Guiteau jumped to his feet, and said
in an excited manner: ~ indorse every
word he says. Robinson came into this
case without consulting me, and I don't
like the way he talks. I order him per-
emptorily to withdraw from the CASE"
Guiteau again interposed: I'VE don't
want Robinson anyway. This is peremp-
tory, and he must CO."
Scoville said, "If we have time enough,
we could get counsel good enough, and
plenty without money, but II the Court is
going to give no time, and at the same
time assign counsel. I don't agree with it.
With this Guiteau jumped up again and
raped on the table with his knuckles.
He said: "Mr. Scoville Is next to me In
this case. I intend to do this business
myself. Robinson 10 not wanted"

he told them to mind their own business;
that he was in the presence Of the Court
and would talk when he felt like 1t. Cork
hill asked the Court to try and keep Gui-
teau quiet, whereupon he sat down, saying
he would do whatever the Court asked him
to do. After that he was comparatively
quiet. After five Jurors had been OBJ
tanned the panel Was exhausted, and an
order for q venire of rs was issued. It
was agreed that the sittings OF the Court
shall be from 10 to 8 daily, and the Court
adjourned.
Unf0unded Runners.
NEW York, Nov. 15.-The Times says
editorially /: Announcement is made in a
Washington dispatch Of the Presidents
intention to appoint George O. Gorham
Assistant Secretary Of the Treasury. Cor
hams desire for the position is probably
all there is in the news. but 1t is an in
structive illustration Of the kind Of ru.
mors which are kept afoat by professed
friends Of the President In regard to his
intentions. Since his accession to office be
has been credited with all sorts Of foolish
plans, including direct interference In be-
half Of the Star route conspirators and the
transfer of the New York offices to the
control Of the machine politicians. 30 far
the President has sedulously avoided doing
the foolish things which are in some quar-
tiers expected Of him, and we incline to the
belief that the rumor Of Gorham's ap-
pointment will go the way Of the other ie-
tions which have preceded 1t. Tit Presi-
dignity, resolution and self-restraint which
has been exemplifed under circumstances
calculated to test very severely the most
evenly balanced nature and best disci-
plined mind.
PARTIES to be Rearrested.
WAsHrNaroN, Nov. l5.-The Star Route
