WASHINGTON, Nov. 2l.-The seventh day
ofGuiteau's trial opened to-day under cir
cumstances which have added greatly to
the already increased interest which each
days proceedings have developed. The
crowd about the courthouse was three
times as large as the crowd of Saturday and
it was with the greatest difficulty
that those entitled to admission
could force their way to the court
room Guiteau arrived in the van,
at o'clock, having an escort of three
mounted policemen in addition to two Off
GERS on the van. He seemed to have recov-
cred from his scare. Upon being brought
into court he at once devoted himself to his
papers, and, contrary to the general expecta-
tion, made no demonstration whatever.
and no allusion to the attempt on
his life Immediately upon the opening
of court Mr.. Robinson arose and addressed
the court for the purpose of calling atten-
tion to an article in Sundays paper in
which Mr.. Scoyille was made to say he
should request the withdrawal of Robinson
from the case, and he (Scoville) had become
satisfied that he Robinson) could be of no
assistance, but an embarrassment in CON
ducting the suit. Robinson replied
at some length as to his con-
nectlon with the case and criticized
IN severe terms the discourteousness he
had received from Scoville while he was
here. by the physicians own statement.
on the 18th of July the President was moi
fatally shot. We don't want to press the
subject; we only desire to have it 20 on the
record so that the court may take notice of
It,. After q brief space Guiteau added;
That's all there is to be-mal-
practice business-short and TO the
point. want il understood
appear as my own counsel here. | am an
agent OF the Deity and expect Him to take
care for me. ! think lie has managed IL
pretty well so far.
The District-Attomey then called Drs
woodward and Lamb, who testified as TO
the character OF the wound; that it was a
mortal one. They also identified the ball
which was exhibited to the Jury as tbe one
taken from the Presidents body
The prosecution then rested
their case and Guiteau was was
allowed permission to be heard in
opening his defense.
Gniteau from his seat began speech,
saying he was not aware he was expected to
speak: This morning Scoville asked him
TO rise when speaking but Guiteau
insisted on Keeping his sent
He said he wished to correct
some terrors He denied he owed ANYBODY
twenty dollars. He expected to be put on
the stand, examined. and cross-examined.
Guiteau's manner is much changed. After
his brief speech he settled back in the chair
and seemed very much exhausted
Scoyille addressed the iurv
briefly, 81. obiecting to some Of
the testimony, which he thought
had been improperly interpreted and In
troduced as evidence. The questions at
issue were simply whether Guiteau killed
the President and whether the prisoner was
for the act, Scoville then out
lined.the ground the defense would fake.
and asked that his argument might be
postponed till tomorrow.
