Smith was present to represent ! the Attorney General One of Guiteau's 1 first movements was to thrust his hand ! into one of his pockets and half take out ! a roll of paper. ScOville, however, in a dumb play, ordered him to put 1t back and he did so. then the District Attor- hey declared the readiness of the prose- cUtiOn to proceed with the case. Robin ! son then arose to make plea for still more time to procure witnesses | for the defence, which appeared not to meet the approval of | Guiteau. All the time Robinson was speaking Guiteau was carrying on what appeared to Ice a remOnstrance with ScO- ! vIlle, who was apparently trying to quiet and suppress him. At the close of | Robinson'S speech, Guiteau insisted on on being heard. He said it was not ! far that pOstpOnement was | requested. He desired to be heard | in his own behalf at the very threshold ! of the case. So far as he was concerned | he did not want further time. He was | ready to try the case now. Owing to the opposition of Scoville and the prisoner | tO the application of Robinson for an | extension of time, the court stated ! that for the present the case should pro ceed so far at least as the swearing of ! the jury was concerned, and they would | consider the question of extension.
