GUITEAU ARRAIGNED.

APPEARANCE OF THE PRISONER IN coURT-THE
POINTS OF THE DBFENCE oUTLINED-TRIAL
FIXED FOR NOV. Z.
Guiteau was arraigned in the criminal court
at Washington last Friday morning There
was no unusual display of police force in or
about the court room although there were
large number Of detectives present not in I'M
form. At Ills Mr.. Scoville, counsel for
the prisoner, entered and took seat at the
lawyers table, and Immediately afterward the
door of the Witnesses room opened and gave
entrance to Marshal Henry and two deputy
marshals, having between them and hustling
along, the bowed and covering figure Of a
man, for whom they made way TO the seat re-
served for him beside his counsel. Then one
of the guards unlocked the handouts, giving
the prisoner the use of his hands, which he
continued, however, to hold crossed as if that
was their usual position. Guiteau looked
broken in health and uncared for in person.
His hair is closely cropped but his cheek and
chin whiskers are worn thick but not long.
His dark clothes were rusty and shabby, aud
his whole person presented miserably neg
lected appearance. While the indictment
was read Guiteau stood with his head most of
the time inclined to the right shoulder, his
eyes half closed or wholly so, his hands cross
ed over his stomach as if they still wore the
handouts and his general air that Of sickly
indifference. The reading occupied nearly
half an hour and during all that time Guiteau
hardly once changed his attitude or bearing
and rarely opened his eyes. He did not man.
ifest the slightest degree of interest in the
scenes in which he was the chief actor and
but for an occasional slight movement might
be supposed to be asleep in a standing at
titude. He pleaded not guilty and wanted to
read a statement but the court declined TO
hear it, District Attorney Corkhill asked
that the trial be set for Monday morning, but
Mr. Scoville read an affidavit stating that
there were various witnesses who were nee
essary to the defense, but that the affiant
had no money nor property and was unable
TO pay the fees and mileage of witnesses or
the cost of summoning them, and asked the
court to allow the witnesses to be paid in
the same manner as the witnesses of the gov
eminent Mr. Scoville also read an affidavit
OF his own stating that the defence would be
made on the insanity of the defendant and
the point that the wound was not necessarily
mortal and was not the cause of President
Garfeld's death. He outlined the points to
be made in proving the defendants tendency
to hereditary insanity, and gave the names OF
witnesses by whom he expected to prove his
insanity. Mr.. Scovile mentioned as reasons
why he asked further time that he had been
unable to secure counsel to assist him in the
case Tho trial was fixed for Nov. 9TH.
