by her little daughter, about five
years of age, A story ia published
in the morning papers purporing
to give details of the arrest of an
nccompli of Guiteau at Kensing-
ton, Ohio, yesterday, and stating
that telegraphic correspondence
had occurred on the subject be-
tween the authorities at that place
and District Attorney Corkhill.
The latter officer denies that he
has had any such correspondence.
He knows nothing about the story,
and IL he did should not feel at lib

After the Court opened counsellor
Scoville arese to make a personal
explanation. In making his per-
sonal explanation to the Court.
Scoville said there was no disa-
greoment between himself and
Robinson, as would appear from
certain publications. Robinson
would render all the aid possible In
the case and they would work In
harmony.
At this point Guiteau rose and
objected to Robinson taking part In

manage his own case; wouldn't
trust Robinson with anything, as
he had no brains. He wished the
Court to understand him on this
point, and If counsel were
forced upon him he would make
a noise about it to the
country. He represented the Deity
In this case, and wished the Court
to understand that two or three
blunderbus lawyers would lose the

many, but the countenance OF the
prisoner remained unchanged. To.
ward the close of the argument,
Guiteau leaned back in his chair,
covering his eyes with his hands,
evidently endeavoring to con-

undoubtedly felt. He then drew
apackage Of manuscript from his
pocket and commenced writing in
hurried and nervous manner.
The prisoner constantly shook his
head in approval or disapprov-

argument by Corkhill. At one
time he interrupted the District
Attorney, which action was called
to the attention Of the Court by
Judge Porter, Of counsel for the
