ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.-At 9 o'clock
this morning the prison van drove up to
the Criminal Court, and Guiteau, clutch
ing a large bundle of papers in his hands,
shuffied hurriedly into the building.
There was a marked absence of noisy dem
onstrations on the part of the bystanders,
yet Guiteau plainly betrayed fear of sud-
den violence, which always marks his
movements whenever he deems himself at
all exposed to danger. He was taken to
the prisoners room, and devoted himself
to reading the papers. At $3.50 The seats
reserved for the public we're entirely filed,
four-ffths of them being occupied by
ladies. Upon the opening Of Court Sco-
vile requested the Court to take some
measures to prevent the prisoner from.
giving to the public his unauthorized com-
munications, and also to prevent the an
noying Interruptions of the prisoner in
the Courtroom. This brought on a
scene, during which Guiteau demanded
that Scoville should go out of the case;
that he was no criminal lawyer and had
no sense; that he talked one thing to him
in private and another in public. &c.,
vile endeavored to explain to the Court,
but Guiteau became more and more ex-
cited, and addressed himself alternately
to the Court, to Scoville and to the bailifs,
who were endeavoring to keep him quiet.
To the Court he said: 81 represent my
self, your Honor, and I shall do as I
please about COUNSEL Then turning to
Scoville he said: "You have no capacity,
and ! won't have you to manage my case"
Then turning to the bailiffs he shouted:
You mind your business, you confound-
ed fools; you amt got no sense" The
Court again stated to the prisoner, in very
decided terms, that he would order his re-
moval, and proceed with the case in his
absence. To this Guiteau shouted excited
ly. ~ don't care il you do; the Court in
banc will reverse you, and I will get o new
trial. You have got no right to remove
mo-"
The Court replied. in tones which
seemed to convince Guiteau Of their sim
cerity "Well, ] shall do 30 II you per-
sist In any more disturbance, and there
are precedents In this Court for such o
ruling"

fed that he saw the firing could not see
the President, but distinctly saw Guiteau
aim and fire, and saw his arrest. He was
questioned by Scoville at some length,
particularly as to how Guiteau wore his
hat on that occasion.
Guiteau here put on his hat, remarking,
They're all mistaken on the hat business.
This is the way I wear my hat" :
Witness" Well, perhaps that Is the
way he had II on, only not quite so far

and Arthur is now President" Witness
