with him, and later on his brother called.
THE SUPPOSED sHooTIsT ARRESTED.
The description given of the man who did
the shooting was so very meagre that the
police had very little to work upon. An
alarm, however, was sent out and the mount
ed police instructed to scour the country and
bring in all suspicious characters. The officer
who patrols near the Soldiers home finally
saw man answering the description that had
been sent out and cried to him to halt. he
got blast of profanity IN reply and
the man rode on rs fast as
possible. The policeman followed
in hot pursuit and the chase was continued
beyond the district line. Several shots were
fired during its progress, the man finally dis
appearing in the woods. The officer then
laid in wait for his man and he soon reappear-
ed. AS he rode into the yard of farm house
he was overtakan. He was found to be VIM.
Jones by name. He was arrested and brought
back to this city. He has been very reticient
ever since his arrest, and the officers having
| him in charge will not communicate any
thing in regard to the prisoner. 1t is report
| ed, however, that Jones is another member
of the great family of "crooks," and that he
| does not seem to realize that he has done any
thing, which is liable to involve him in ser
| ious difficulty.
Additional precautions will be taken here
after to guard Guiteau from assault when he
| is being conveyed to and fro. His condition
| is being described as being one of abject fear
and his appearance said to be in strong con-
trast with that presented this morning in
court, when he gave public notice that he was
secure from any attack contemplating his
physical harm. Now instead of being defiant
he appeals piteously to be protected from fur
ther molestation and points to the fact that
this is the third time his life has been attempt
ed since he has been imprisoned.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-The crowd about
the court house this forenoon was far greater
than upon any former day. It was with great
difficulty that those whose presence were
needed in the court room could gain admit
lance. To avoid the otherwise inevitable
scramble, it has been found necessary to is
sue tickets of admission and only ticket hold
ers permitted to enter. At $40 the court
opened and in few minutes every seat was
occupied, the larger portion OF the spectators
being ladies.
Guitesu arrived without particular demon
stration on part of the crowd, and was taken
at once 10 the prisoners room where he ate
breakfast and expressed himself well satisfied
with the progress of his case. Scoville being
questioned in relation to Guiteau's alleged
new counsel, Judge Magruder, of Maryland,
stated that he was not aware of any tender of
services from Judge Magruder. He had re-
ceived several offers from lawyers, strangers
to him, but feared he might make a great
mistake, by taking at this late stage of the
trial, counsel unknown to him than by pro-
ceeding alone. He does not expect other as
sistance than Robinson.
GEORGE MAYNARD's TESTIMONY.
The trial proceeded without further incident
and Geo. Maynard electrician, was put on the
stand and testified to loaning Guteau $40 one
time and SIS another time.
Guiteau protested against this line of evil
dence. He did not think it any ones business
whether he owed S25 or some one owed him.
Maynard is a good fellow" he said "and
owe him S25. That's all there is in it,
District Attorney Corkhill desired to prove
by the witness, Guiteau borrowed Sf5 with
which he bought the revolver.

Guiteau looked seedy and hungry.
The prisoner showed much feeling, and fire.

he lived in first class style and wore a $40 suit
of clothes. He knew plenty of public men and
could get all the money he wanted. His men

had a big load on his mind about that time.

JAS. BURART,
clerk to Maynard, also testified. and thought
Gulteau's walk and the way he held his head,
little peculiar.
THE GUNSMITH.
The next witness was John Mera keeper of
a gun and cutlery store, corner Fifteenth and
F. streets. He testified as to Guiteau's CON-
ing to his store about the 9th of June, look
ing at the show case, pointing to the largest
calibre revolver and asking to look at it. He
examined it carefully, inquired as to its &C
curacy, made some common place remarks,
then left saying he would call again in few
days. A few days afterward the prisoner
called, examined the pistol again. inquired
as to where he could test its accuracy and was
told the river edge would be good place. He
also inquired as to the force of the pistol and
witness told him it was very strong shoot

pistol was handed witness and he was directed
to draw the four remaining cartridges.
While the witness was engaged in doing so
the prisoner said he might as well take ad.

Townsend, an eminent lawyer of New York.
Leonard Sweet, distinguished criminal law;
J er of Chicago, and Mr.. Trude of Chicago to-
appear for him next Monday, if the court had
no objection.

is willing to assist. If it is possible for Sweet
to leave his business he will assist. We have
been expecting to hear from Trude for the
last two weeks. expect them all here Mon

That's all there is about it." Then nodding
to reply, he said, "put that down.
