GuiteauS Arraignment,

THE ASSASSIN NOT TO BE BROUGHT TO COURT
PROBABLY FOR A DAY OR TWO.
He will not be arraigned to-day" was about
all Col. Corkhill would say when asked this noon
by STAR reporter as to the arraignment of Gui-
teau. Further than that you will have to look
out for yourself" AS no notice has yet been
served on Mr.. ScOville Guiteau's counsel it is
thought that the arraignment wilnOt take place
tomorrow either. "We would have crowd
here SO big" said Col. COrkhill, IF we made
public announcement of the time that we could
not get the prisoner near the court house. You
can rest assured the reporters will be here. 1t
would be hard to find time when they are not
here nowadays"
NOTE FROM SCOvILLE.
Col. Corkhill was engaged all the morning in
the Bergevin trial. Mr.. Scoville called to see
him, and left the following note:
OCTOBER 12, 1851. 10 A. NJ.
Dear SRI will attend on notice of Guiteau's
arraignment at any time and think it may as
well be soon now as to wait longer. Please
send a line to my room 3O4 Indiana avenue, or
let me know otherwise when to appear and
Oblige, yours truly, GEORGE SCOvIILE.
Col. Corkhill had not written a reply to this
note this afternoon. Another evidence perhaps
that the government will not arraign Guiteau
tomorrow.
WHAT COL. CORKHnL THINKS
Col. COrkhill does not think that it is neces-
sary to wait two days after the Indictment was
served on the prisoner before arraigning him.
point Of this kind was raised by the defence
In the Hirth trial, and the court ruled that such
notice was not necessary, the arraignment not
being considered part of the trial. As mat
ter OF precautiOn, however, 1t is probable that
at least two days will have elapsed after the
copy Of the Indictment and the list of witnesses
was served before Guiteau will be arraigned.
GUITEAU COMPLAINS OF MALARIA.
Meanwhile Guiteau is passing his time quietly
in JAIL Visitors at the Jail are shown the cell
formerly occupied by Gufteau but few Of them
are permitted to look into his new cell: still
fewer are permitted to exchange words with the
prisoner To visitor who spoke with him
last evening Guiteau complained of being
affected with malaria The hole in the glass of
the outer window through which Aason's bullet
sped is regarded with much interest by visitors
The place where the bullet fiattened against
the wall is also picked out and helps to satisfy
the cravings Of curiosity.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Scoyille had long
interview with his client.
THE STRANGER WHO WANTED TO SEE GUITEAu,
About sun-dOwn last evening, while Mr.. ScO
Vile was In the warden's Office with Guiteau, q
rather genteely dressed man. about six feet In
height, made his appearance, and said that he
had been sent to the Jail to see Guiteau by one
of the latter's friends. The warden,
an unreasonable hour, and he could not see him.
The man then reluctantly left. There is an i'm
preston that the man came to this city for the
express purpose of killing the prisoner
THE PRISONERS SICKNESS.
The prisoner to-day took one or two pills and
complains of having had fever last night, and
Of being sick to-day, but when he is sent for he
will be taken to the court sick or otherwise.
Mr. Scoville is very anxious that the prisoner
shall be afraigned, and that the court shall act
on the motion for q continuance, so that he can
leave the city.
