Judge Cox. tHE

"We are pot here for that purpose, Z"
said the CouN.

said Colonel Corkbill, "and hope the
Court will insist on it,"
"Never 70 exclaimed the prisoner,
looking sternly at the District Attor-

exclaimlng: 81 want no COUNSEL
When l want any help I'll ask for
it." ''... p,
"But," said the Court, 'T have as
signed you COUNSEL" w. 1873
81 did not ask you for counsel" re-
piled Guiteau sayagely, as he took his
seat. ..Y
"I am something Of q lawyer my
SELF" he added, "and l intend to do
some of my own thinking and acting"

to l O'Clock p. m. The court then
adjourned until tomorrow.
After adjournment Gui'eau was

the step, the driver cracked his whip
and the prisoner was taken at sharp
pace back to the Jail. No one undera
took to follow the van, and no one
was allowed to see him after he reach
