Seventh Dav of GuItsau,. Trial.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2l.--,fhe seventh day
ofGulteau's trial opened to-day under cir
cumstances which have added greatly to
the already increased interest which each
days proceedings have developed. The
crowd about the courthouse was three
times as large as the crowd of Saturday and
it was with the greatest difficulty
that those entitled to admission
could force their way to the court
room. Guiteau arrived in the van
at o'clock, having an escort of three
mounted policemen in addition to two Off
GERS on the van. He seemed to have recov-
cred from his scare. Upon being brought
into court he at once devoted himself to his
papers, and, contrary to the general expecta-
tion, made no demonstration whatever
and no allusion to the attempt on
his life. Immediately upon the opening
of court Mr.. Robinson arose and addressed
the court for the purpose of calling atten-
tion to an article in Sundays paper in
which Mr.. Scoville was made to say he
should request the withdrawal of Robinson
from the case, and lie (Scoville) had become
satisfied that he (Robinson) could be of no
assistance, but an embarrassment in con-
ducting the suit. Robinson replied
at some length as to his con-
nection with tae case and criticized
in severe terms the discourteousness he
had received from Scoyille while he was
here. BY the physicians own statement
on the 25th of July the President was not
fatally shot We don't want to press TIE
subject; we only desire to have it 90 on the
record so that the court may take notice Of

pretty well 50 far.
The District A ttorney then called Drs
Woodward and Lamb, who testified as to
the character of the wound that it was
mortal one. They also identified the ball
which was exhibited to the jury as the one
taken from the Presidents body.
The prosecution then rested
their case and Guiteau was
allowed permission to be heard in
opening his defense.
a
saying he was not aware he was expected to
speak. This morning Scoville asked him
to rise when speaking but Guiteau
/ insisted on keeping his seat.
He said he wished to correct
some terrors. He denied he owed anybody
twenty dollars He expected to be put on
the stand examined and cross-examined.
Guiteaus manner is much changed. After
his brief speech he settled back in the chair
and seemed very much exhausted.
Scoville addressed the jury
briefly, objecting to some Of
the testimony, which he thought
had been improperly interpreted and in
troduced as evidence. The questions at
issue were simply whether Guiteau killed
the President and whether the prisoner was
responsible for the act. Scoyille then out
linedsthe ground the defense would take,
and asked that his argument might be
postponed till tomorrow.
