and the court took recess for half an hour.
| GUITEAU AT IT AGAIN.
The prisoner, as he was being taken from
| the room, addressed his counsel in a violent
and angry manner, making use of
such expressions as: "There is going
be big row." and 81 am going to have a
fight" But the deputy marshals prevented
was renewed, Guiteau, who had just been
brought IN by officers said, "will your honor
allow me to address the court 4 moment. In
spite of counsel have rights here that should
be recognized want to state my position" !"
Judge Cox-"You cannot he heard now.
The court is satisfied with your counsel"
Prisoner-"But / am not. l think it an
outrage to have incompetent counsel forced
upon me. Scoville is doing splendldly. l
most distinctly appreciate his services. I
want chance to defend myself, and there will
be a row all the way through If don't have
| it.''
All this time Guiteau was resisting efforts
of the officers to make him take seat,
and was talking in his usual jerky, discon-
nected way; 81 am not satisfied with Il this ls
''and will not have it,"
Judge Cox (severely)-'If you do not keep
silence l will have you removed"
The Prisoner-'I do not care if you do. The
American people have something to say about
| this matter. 1t is an outrage that l should
not be heard in my own defense.
| THE VENEZUELAN MINISTER.
Upon the reassembling of the court the
resident minister of Venezula was called to the
stand and examined. He gave description
of the scene at the depot the morning of the
shooting. The prisoner impressed him as
wearing look of fear.
| In his cross-examinatiOn, the witness eX-
planned how the prisoner wore his hat, and
Scoville placed Guiteau's hat upon his (Gui-
teau's) head partly on one side. Witness stopped
counsel saying, "that's the way he wore the
|
hat this way" placing 1t on his head perfectly
straight. He added, 81 wear my hat this way
and don't go sneaking around.''
| The minister was interrogated further, but
nothing was elected beyond what has hereto
fore been published.
| MRS. WHITE.
| Mrs. Sarah B. White, matron Of the Baltl-
more s. Potomac depot ladies' waiting room,
was next called. She explained the circum-
stances of the shooting in detail, substantially
as published in her statement obtained after
| the shooting. She recognized Guiteau as the
person who fired the shot. She had seen the
| prisoner walking up and down the gentle
mems room previous to the arrival of the
presidents party on the morning OF July 2. She
did not observe pistol in the assassin's hand
when she went to the presidents assistance.
| Guitead, she said, was only about three feet
back of the president when he fired at him.
Cross-examination- saw nothing
remarkable in the prisoners appearance ex-
cepting that he walked to and fro in the gen.
tlemen's room, keeping his eyes constantly on
the ladies' room, as if waiting the arrival OF
some one. She explained the manner in which
he wore his hat, stating that it was on his
head straight.
Guiteau's hat was here placed on his head
again in the manner indicated by the witness
and she said that was the way he wore it.
The prisoner bowed with his approval of the
reply of the witness.
ROBERT A. PARKE.
Robert A. Parke, ticket agent of the Balti
more & Potomac railroad, at Washington

of the-2d of July; witnessed the firing of the
second shot by the prisoner; rushed from his
office out into the corridor and as Gulteau was
fleeing seized him ana kept hold OF him until
relieved by police officers.
In his cross examination Parke reiterated in
detail his statement of the circumstances OF
the shooting, and said the prisoner was NOV
ing very rapidly when he seized him. He did
not see the first shot fired but rushed from
his office Immediately after it occurred Wit

testimony was unbroken. He explained that
the prisoner mentioned several times that a
letter to Gen. Sherman would explain every
thing.
