WASHINGTON, October Ig.--Sc0ville,
counsel for Guiteau, is becoming dis
couraged by the difficulties of the situa-

gal assis tance, and witnesses every
where refuse to testify. The behavior

induce him to enter upon a discussion
of his defense. He told his council
that he was attending to all that was
necessary. He refused to give any
names of persons with whom he had
come in contact in this city, as they
would merely traduce him to add to his
modification. He said all that was
needed was more time to let the full
consequences of his act be seen, when
he will have plenty Of friends. Mr..
Sccyille said that he fully expected to
be discharged as counselby the prison.
er at his next interview. He will ask
the court to at once assign additional

in a verdict for $500 for the plaintiff.
The evidence was that Mrs. b.. re-
cived an injury IN the foot caused by a
fall. resulting from bad condition of
the side walk. and that injury would be
to Il certain extent permanent. Our
side walks in many places have been in
such a shamefully neglected condition
for years that the great wonder is that
there have not been many more seriourS
injuries, ana suits for damage. This
judgement rendered by twelve disinler-

produce little more attention to the
