Progress OF sne Trs"i this Morning.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-The
crowd about the Court House this
morning was three times greater
than on Saturday, and it was with
the greatest difficulty that those
entitled to admission could force
their way through the corridors of
the criminal courtroom. The OPEN
ing of the Court was delayed some
minutes in consequence. Guiteau
arrived in the van at 8 O'Clock,
having an escort of three mounted
policemen In addition to the two
officers of the van. He was at once
taken to his room, where he break
tasted aud read the morning papers.
He seemed to have recovered en-
tirely from his scare. He attrib-
uted his escape Saturday to an in
terposition of the Deity, and de-
sired his hearers to understand that
he was not afraid to die, If the
Deity desired it, but he did not
want to be shot down like
q dog, before he had time to fully
vindIcate his conduct in Court
of Justice. Upon being brought
ipto Court, Guiteau at once devot-
ed himself to his papers,
and, contrary to general ex-
notation, made no demon
strations whatever or illusions to
the late attempt on his life. I'm.

Court, Robinson arose and address,

made to say that he should re-

from the case, as he (Scoville) had

An embarrassment ip the conduct
Of the defense. Robinson criticised
in severe terms the discourtesy he
had received by Guiteau, who broke
ia with "Your honor, I want Rob-
inson to stay in" Continuing,
Robinson requested the Court to
grant his discharge from the case,
and positively stated he could not
with proper self respect remain in
association with Scoville. Guitsau
who had been closely following
Robinson all through the latter
portion of his speech, broke 10
again with considerable warmth
and said "That's an able
speech. and I agree with most OF
it. II he had OILY made it last
Monday there never would have
been any disturbance between u.s."
Scoville here tried to quiet Guiteau,
when he retorted upon him "Keer
quiet yourself. Pm talking now.
i sympathize with him In this
matter"
The District Attorney then called
Drs, Woodward and Lamb, who
testified to the character of the
wound, that it was a mortal one;
they also identified the bal, which
was exhibited to the jury, as the
one they had taken from the body
of President Garfield. The prose-
cution then rested their case.
Guiteau was allowed permission
to be heard In opening his defense.
