Guiteza stood quietly. The day for beginning

George SeOvilIe, OF Chicago, Guitea1's
bro'her-ln-law, appeared IS the assassin's
counsel and read Two afid4yi;s. The first sfii-
davit was By Guiteau, and recites that he has
10 Money or property 70 pay number Of vat
Noses necessary 70 his defense aud he there

slst OF two poInt=-the insanity Of the defend
ant and malpractice in the treatment Of Presi-
dent darheld's wound. The affidavit further
gives the names OF number Of per
sons By whom il is expected to prove

expects TO prove By the following naned NELL
cal William A Hammond of New
York, j. Marion 6ims, Of New York, Moses
Gnnn, OF Chicago, and Edmund Andrews. OF
Chicago that The wound was not necessarily
iata, and was not Of itself the cause Of the
death OF James 4. Gzrfieli, but that death en-
sued as the resul. OF malpractice Of the princi-
pal physician in charge OF the wounded man
After reading the afidavits Dir. Scoyalle al
dressed the court, Saving that he had attempted
TO obtain the aid Of additional counsel but had
not yet been successful. Mr. Z. T. Merrick, OF
Washington, however, consented to argue the
matter OF jurisdiction in case that question
came mp. Counsel further requested the Judge
TO allow him time TO get his Witnesses into
court. District-AttorncF Corkhill then argued
IN favor OF a speedy trial. Justice Cox
closed the proceedings OF the day by declaring
that II was Of the utmo2t importance 10 the
interest Of public justice that so grave Gaze
should be ttied as speedily as was consistent
with justice; that he would appoint November
as the day for trial and the Both OF October a.
the day 70 argue the question of jurisdiction;
that with reference TO the application Of de-
PENDANTS counsel for an order to allow the COS
OF witnesses he would examine the statutes and
make such order on the subject as he felt
authorized to do: and as to counsel for the &C.
cused ifhe found that assistance could not be OBJ
tanned elsewhere he would assig proper counsel
The marshal and his assistants then replaced
the handouts on the wrists Of Guiteau, who
manifested throughout the same Lstiess lndif-
ference which be had shown when the indict-
men. was being read to him. He was hurried
out of court IN the same wav he had been
brought IN, and was pnt into a hack in waiting
and driven back to the jail in the custody CT
the marshal and his assistants
The following is a graphic account of
Guiteaus appearance as he was brought into
court: As ne WAS brought before the bar he
awkwardly raised his ironed arms and removed
lis hat. 1t was then that the most startling
effect was produced. His hair, which always
stands on end and is cut short was cut still more
o-ely IN accordance with prison regulations
His face was deathly PALE and had that sa;oR
jail color OF which it is said il takes released
cOnvicts years TO nd themselves. His ewes
we're wild and rolling, and he looked abont III
nervous, terrified sort Of way. Before taking
his seat, and before the handouts were re-
leased, he turned himself fully around and
looked upon the dense mass which filled the
ourt-room--cowardly, shringiugly, almost
with a shudder, as though to max sure that
some avenger with bulldog was not al-o
at his back. Satisfying himself apparently that
the crowd was orderly. and seeing the officers
ma-sed about him, he became more calm and
turned to the judge. His ironed arms were
unbound and he took his s. ar, miserable alb
ject unkempt, seedy- looking wretch, the Presi-
dents friendless murderer.
