article in Sundays Post. in which
Mr.. ScOyille was made 10 say he
should request the withdrawal OF

that he (RobinsOn) could be OF
no assistance, but rather an en-
barrassment, in the conduct Of

some length his connection with
the case, and criticized in severe
terms the discOurtesy he had re-

"yOur honor, | want Robinson TO
stay in" Robinson continuing.
requested the court 10 grant his
discharge from the case and said
he couldn't with proper self re
spect remain in association with

broke out again ard With cOnsid-
cradle warmth, said, That's an
able speech, and | agree with the

should like 10 have them appear
here, as well as Messrs. Scott Il
SWEET and Trude, Of Chicago"
Then adding, after a short pause:
"One word or the question Of
malpractice. My idea is simply
this, that by the physicians own
statement, on the 25th Of July,
the President was not fatally shot.
We don't press the subject: we
only desire to have it go on rec
ord, so that the court, in banc,
may take notice OF it," After Il

when speaking, but he insisted
on keeping his seat. He sad he
