Washington, 26.-Upon opening the
Criminal Court, Scoville read tele-
gram from Emory A.Storrs, of Chicago,
saying he could not possibly at present.
owing to professional engagements, come
to Washington to testify. Scoville said
under the circumstances, he would not
insist upon an attachment for Storrs.
Davidgs, speaking for the prosecution,
was willing to have Storrs put upon the
stand any time during the progress Of the
trial. and this understanding was
accepted by all parties.

stand, and was cross-examined very
closely and at great length By Davidge,

"Ohi well, we'll, prisoner; that will do

satisfied, and nodded with
smile, saying: "That's all right Judge,
I have had my say on Beecher, Pm sat

General Jeha A. Logan then took the
stand and was asked: "Do you know
the prisoner"
"ohl yes, of course you do, General"
broke IN Guittesu. "You know me very
well. I'm very happy to meet you
again"
Witness had frequently been besieged
By Guitteau to endorse bis application
for Office, but had invariably declined
for the reason that the prisoner did not
seem to be such man as he would care
20 recommend for any Office. He had
never known him in Chicago. The first
