WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-By half-past 9
this morning the criminal Court
was well filled. There was o notice
able increase Of ladies. The doors were
thrown open at 10 o'clock. This was the
signal for a general rush for seats. Mrs.
Scoville entered the Courtroom at 10
o'clock, accompanied by her little daugh-
ter, about 5 years of age. A story is pub
lished in the morning papers purporting
to give the details Of the arrest of an ac-
complete of Guiteau at Kensington, Ohio,
yesterday, and stating that a telegraphio
correspondence had occurred on the SUBJ
ject with the authorities of that place and
District Attorney Corkhill. The latter Of
icer denies that he has had any such cor
respondence. He knows nothing, he says,
of the story, and if he did, should not feel
at liberty to talk about it for publication.
After the Court opened, Scoville arose to
make q personal explanation, in which he
said there had been no disagreement be.
tween himself and Robinson, as would ap-
pear from certain publications. Robinson
would render all aid possible in the case,
and they would work in harmony. At this
point Guiteau rose and objected to Robin
son taking any part in his defense. He
said he would manage his own case; he
would not trust Robinson with anything,
as he had no brains. He wished the Court
to understand him on this point, and il
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 it. Two
or three blunderbuss lawyers would loose
the case for him, and he did not propose
to submit to anything Of the kind. The
Court informed the prisoner that II he did
not remain quiet he would be removed
from the room. After q few minutes the
prisoner burst out afresh with the remark:
"There Is not o word Of truth in the Chi
cago dispatch published in the Post this
morning. 1t is a lie from beginning TO
end" This is the dispatch referred to
above, in regard to the arrest Of q supposed
accomplish of Guiteau. For some time
after this last remark the prisoner CON-
versed'in Q very excited manner with Sco-
Vile and his brother, at intervals using
his clenched fist upon the desk before him
in an exceedingly demonstrstive way.
prosecution, in which he enlarged upon
the Nervousness Of Guiteau's crime. The
order Of proof on the part Of the prosecu.
ton will be: First, the shooting; second,
the death; third, the motives. Secretary
Blaine was called and testified that he was
with Garfield at the time he was shot. On
reaching the depot on the morning Of the
assassination he heard o pistol shot, fol-
lowed almost Immediately by another, and
thinking there was some trouble touched
the President for the purpose OF hurrying
him through the crowd. At this moment
the President threw up his arms, exlcsim-
ing, sMy God, what is this ?" Mr.. Blaine
detailed the circumstances OF the removal
OF the President to the White House, and
other matters pertaining to the shooting,
all OF which have been published.

ment will be held responsible, and be La
