excellent jury is expected.
 All who were witnesses to the opening | scenes in the case were impressed with the | cratic and vehement manner of the prison | er In appearance he has improved during | the past few weeks He conducted himself l quietly at the jail and until he took his seat | in the court room. There for while he | busted himself writing or talking to his l brother and sister, now and then leaning over and making an apparently intelligent suggestion to Mr. Scoville He paid little or no attention to Mir. Robinson except In h1s violent outbursts of dissatisfaction. When they first came in Robinson sat next Guiteau,
 but subsequently he changed his seat. The apparent misunderstanding between Scoville and Robinson was a surprise to I the public, although there were those 1 who professed to believe that it was part of a plan Both gentlemen refuse
 to talk on the subject, having apparently ar rived at mutually agreeable understanding. It is thought they have decided to interpose no further delay and that the case will pro ceed at once on the empanelhng Of the jury. Unless Judge Cox is more stringent with Guiteau it is feared he will cause endless an- noyance during the trial. He is slngularly
 amenable to the commands of the court and it is hoped can be kept quiet. The efforts of his counsel, brother and sister were unavall
 ing to-day. When he arose his face bore an
 exceedingly vindictive look and he seemed
 
 ious to get his speech before the public. Of
 course he will not be allowed to deliver it in
 court. Guiteau had in his pocket this morn
 ing the manuscript of an elaborate address
 which he had prepared to deliver when court
 opened. He, however, was checked in his
 frequent attempts to speak.
 This statement has been given to the press
 tonight. In it Guiteau claims that while he
 is charged with the murder of one James A.
 Garfield, his real murderers were the physi-
 clans in charge, from whose malpractice
 death resulted, and that they, not he, should
 be indicted. General Garfield, by an unwise
 use of patronage, was dividing the Republi-
 can party and bringing on another civil war; and therefore the Lord inspired him (Gui-
 teau) to remove him. The Lord selected
 him in preference to any other because he
 had the brains and nerve to do the work, and
 God uses the best material to accom-
 pIish his designs, and he of all the
 world had the conception to remove the
 President. He disclaimed all personal
 feeling in the matter, claiming that he was
 merely the instrument of the Deity. He also claims that he was selected by the Lord to remove the President in order that his theo-
 logical work on Truth might be circulated, and says the Deity will stand by him and checkmate the wise heads of the prosecution.
 He denounces Scoville for bringing ''Oneida Noyes'' into the case and says Moves was tn @ curse of his and his fathers life, and makes an indecent attack on Moves. He proposes to conduct the case himself and says he will summon 'uany of the leading Republican and Democratic politicians and leading New York and Washington editors to show the political situation and the perils which surrounded the Republican party last spring. On the in- sanity point he says
 Scoville is developing plea of hereditary insan- ity which may have important bearing on my case Insanity runs in my family My ia her had two sisters and niece in insane asylum. He him. Oneida community He could sec no evil in the con cern aud good out of it. He thought Moves a enough outside the community idea on that he a lunatic He would get greatly excited discussing he was gooi business man He was cashier of bank and attended to his duties promptly and faith that got into the Oneida com ,uunity when boy | Once under Moves influence it was impossible to get for six long and V ary years was in that commit niry from 1880 to 1866 Sin, then known and there has taken up himself to write on this case and among other si ly and impertnent statements the Premier of England, etc. Such statements are false My father frequent visit at the con- my stepmother opposed it. I wish this Oneida com munity business to pass into oblivion"
 He gives history of his married life and | protests against the prosecution summoning | his wife as witness against him. He says | certain parties whom he need not mention have been benefited financially by his inspiration, | and he proposes to ask them to contribute to | his defense The word assassin grates on his mind, and he claims that in his case there | is not even homicide, as the shooting was the | act of an insane man, insane in law because the act was Gods; there can be no murder tinues his statement at great length and con- dudes as follows:

 After adjournment Guiteau was conducted through the door he entered. He was hur ried immediately to the prisoners room up stairs Here handcuffs were placed on his | wrists and he sat down to wait for the jail | van to arrive. He had to wait fifteen min 1tes. Meanwhile great crowd collected on the portico and front east wing of the City Hall When the van drew up 8 passage way was made through the crowd by the officers. He was brought down by his guardsmen, Percy Carson and Bailif Fall He carried in his new pair of shoes purchased for him by his brother and small bundle of supplies His face bore marks of confusion and terror. He hung his head down and tried evidently to slink out of sight between his two stalwart keepers They hurried him rapidly through | the corridor and alleyway formed by the hv- | ing crowd outside. When they rea"hed the van Guiteau gave spring into it, hardly | touching the steps. The door was sprung | behind him immediately. Guardsman Car | son mounted the step, the driver cracked his | whip and the prisoner was taken at 8 sharp | pace back to jail No one undertook to fol- | low the van and no one was allowed to see | him after he reached the jail The agent of | the National Associated Press was refused | pass to the jail on general principles.
