DIsTRICT-Ar ATTORNEY.
In the Guiteau case yesterday the cross-ex-
animation of DR.. A. E. Macdonald, of New
York, was concluded, and DR.. Randolph Barks-
dale, of Virginia, and DR.. John II. Calender,
of Tennessee, were called to the witness-stand.
Both of these physicians expressed the belief
that Guiteau is sane now, and was sane on
July 2. After the usual recess, Guiteau, who
had been comparatively quiet, became insult
ing to Judge Porter, and precipitated demand
that the criminal should be remanded to the
dock. The District t-AttOrney stated that he
wanted no more special guards about the as
sassiD, and that he wanted the Marshal TO
take him to the dock. Mr.. Scoville accused
the District-AttOrney of giving notice that the
prisoner was to be placed where he could be
shot, and of virtually inviting assassins to
shoot him. Judge Porter characterized Mr.
ScOville's words as a vile imputatiOn on the
District-AttOmey. Justice Cox finally ordered
the assassin to be placed in the dock, and
the order was Obeyed.
