JUDGE COX'S QUANDARY AS TO THE TREATMENT OF
THE PRISONER IN COURT.
Judge Cox has consulted with his associates on
the bench In reference to the prisoners treatment
In court. 1t has, it is understood, been decided
| among them that the prisoner should be allowed
no greater Indulgence than man undoubtedly
sane. 1t is doubtful, however, whether the trial
would be constitutional II the prisoner was re-
moved from the COURTROOM he is entitled to the
right to confront witnesses against him. Rather
than run the risk OF having the results OF the trial
rendered void and NULL the court allows him to
main in the room. The court is evidently in a
quandary as to how the prisoner can be kept
quiet.
Judge Cox is daily receiving letters, most OF
them anonymous, and some enclosing newspaper
cppings), rejecting On his conduct OF the Guiteau

making a farce OF the Guteau trial. 1t is a dis
grace to the nation and the world. For the love
of God and country charge that jury to convict
him OF murder In the first degree" Another
