Brady and Brown, and at "a 500 in the cases o
Turner and French. A short but unimport
ant discussion ensued between Cook, Assistan
District Attorney Totten, and counsel Tor de
tense, in the course of which the latter statet
| that he might have other motions to subml
besides that to quash the Information, bu
that he would probably formally file that mo
ton tomorrow. It was agreed that before
any motion be argued, two days notic'
should be given to the opposite
counsel Bondsmen then justified as
follows: John F. Olmstead, N. w. Fitzgerald
A. L. Roche and Lewis Cephane for Brady;
w. Humphrey and ]. 8. johnson for Turner,

probably be argued until next week.
THE INDICTMENT OF GTITEAU
was not sent up to the grand jury this morn
ing, and the district attorney decided not tc
bring the prisoner into court for arraignment
until tomorrow.
Y. W. Scovlll visitad Guiteau this morning
and remained two hours. He found his client
trial than yesterday and in more humble
mood. Yesterday he wanted to map out the
plan of defense and was full of suggestions.
To-day he was quite ready to3submit. He has
furnished Scovill with minute list of places
where witnesses may be sought for as to his
acts and for his mental condition during the
last ten years, and especially during the last
three years. Guiteau was yesterday
averse to the plea OF insanity,
one in his case. He was willing to-day
to allow his brother-in-law to plead this point,
and promised to obey implicitly his direction.
Mr.. Scoville relies much upon testimony to
be obtained in this district. There are many
who came in contact with the assassin at no.
tells and boarding houses, in the libraries, and
at the depots, between March 5 and July 2,
who, he thinks, will, if called on to swear, be
Obliged to say that they Thought him de-
ranged man. Such opinions will now be re-
called reluctantly, but they will be all the
more powerful as evidence.
District Attorney Corkhill is expected to
have the Indictment of Guiteau ready for final
presentation tomorrow. Geo. NJ. Scoviile,
Gulteau's counsel, was, on motion of the dis
trict attorney to-day, admitted to the bar of
the supreme court of the district.
PRESIDENT ARTHUR
passed the morning very quietly. Beyond a
few representatives in congress there were no
callers of any note. Up to IL o'clock no bust
ness of public importance was transacted.
Arrangements were made this morning for a
ceremonial call of members of the supreme
court of the United States upon the president
at IL O'Clock Monday next. During the after
noon President Arthur received number of
callers, among them Solicitor General Phillips
and Secretary Kirkwood. These gentlemen
had somewhat prorracted interview with the
president.
HOwGATE'S BAIL.
This afternoon Capt. Howgate was brought
before c. 8. Bundy, United States commits
sioner, on the last indictment for embezzling
from the United States the sum of S94 900.
Judge Bundy said, as there was no application
by defense to reduce the bail, he would fix it
at $4,000. Counsel for defense, as before,
stated that they regarded the bail as excessive,
and their client was totally unprepared TO pro-
cure it. Judge Bundy hereupon proceeded to
draw up a commitment. Counsel for defense
have already drawn an application for habeas
corpus.
Howgate looked well. He said he felt
better, and had no intention of running away.
He simply wanted to rest for short time.
He was ready to face the inevitable, believing
himself to be an innocent victim of circum-
stances.
