Guifeau's Arrangement.
| WASHINGTON. October 15th.-At the close of the
proceedings in Court the Marshal and his assistant
replaced the handouts on Guiteau, who manifested
| throughout the same stless indifference which he
had shown when the indictment was icing read to
him. He was hurried out of the Court in the same
way he had been brought in, and was putin a hack
in waiting and driven back to Jail in the immediate
custody of the Marshal and his assistants.
| Anxious to XIII Guiteau.
| WASHINGTON, October 18th While Guiteau was
being arraig ned, arge.sized man approached some
of the officers OF the Court and asked for the loan
OF pistol His inquiries causing suspicion, he was
taken to police headquarters, where he gave the
name of George II. Bethard, and showed diploma
as lawyer, issued him June 23d in Columbus, Ohio
He said ne fought in Garfeld's regiment, and showed
| two gunshot wounds in his legs and bayonet
wound in the head, which, he said was received at
Shiloh. He heard Guiteau was to be arraigned and
| intended shooting him at the City Hall. He had
been drinking.
i Lawyers Trick.

Scoville, stated in his affidavit that he expected 20
| prove by DR.. Hammond and DR.. Senison, of New
York, and DR.. Gum and DR. Andrews OF Chicago, that
the wound inflicted by Guitsaus buiipt was not
! fatal, death ens~ssi,n lSEsiia .ire. Both
the Chicago physicians believe that tnsise of their
names was simply ruse to get continuance DR..
Andrews believes the wound was fatal, while DR.
Gum has expressed no opinion.
Not an Easy Task.
WASHINGTON, October Jacksonville, counsel for
Guiteau, since coming to Washington, has had as
large daily mail as Cabinet officer. He has en-
deeyored to read and dispose OF his correspondence
but the task increases with each day that he has
sent to Chicago for his stenographic clerk who is
| expected to arrive here tomorrow morning. He
has not received reply from General Butler, and
therefore wrote again last evening. He thinks
Buffers telegram, recently published, indicates
willingness to defend Guteau rather than that he
should not have thorough defense. He expects to
summon almost every one who attended Garfield
during his illness, especially Swain Rockwell and
the surgeons.
In reply to question Scoville said: Guiteau was
terribly frightened while in Court. AS I have said
often before, he is very timid man. He was under
great excitement in the Courtroom yesterday, and
that made MIN look bad. When he returned to Jail
and recovered his equanimity he felt better and
looked better. 1 intended to suggest to him to let
his hair grow, but neglected it. When / returned
to Washington found that he had it cropped short
