WASHINGTON, reD. ou.-W nen
Judge Cox entered the court room
this morning the prisoner was i'm
mediately brought in and placed
in the dock. Before taking his
seat Guiteau looked over to his
counsel and asked, In quiet and
rather pleasing tone, "Can I sit at
that table, il your Honor pleases?"
Judge Cox.-''If there is no OBJ
lection from the cOunsel.n
Guiteau.-"Have you any Objec.
tions, Colonel?"
Corkhill.-"No, sir.n
The prisoner then took his seat
at the table by the side of ScOville
and, taking out OF his coat pocket
a roll of manuscript, addressed the
Court in the apparent belief and
with the air Of the principal coun-
sci in the case, began: "If the
Court please, before this motion is
made, l desire to correct q few er.
rors that have crept inn. At this
point he was stopped by the Court.
Corkhill objected to any remarks
from the prisoner. Scoville also
objected, and thought anything OF
the kind had better be postponed
until the business Of the Court was
disposed of. Scoville continued:
"If your Honor please, I have con-
templsted that some additional
time should be given for the mo.
tion. l also have assurance from
q prominent member OF this bai
that he will assist me next week."
Corkhill asked, "Who is the gen-
tleman
Scoville-!"He declines to give
his name at present, except In con.
fidence to the Court"
Scoville then desired to make Q
new motion relative to the addi.
tiOnal grounds be had discovered
for asking for a new trial
These grounds, he stated, were
the unauthorized conversation
with the jury by outside
parties and second, subsequent ad-
missions Of an expert that he
thought Guiteau insane but did
not dare to say SO for fear it might
injure him in his business and In
the public estimation. Scoville
read an affidavit sworn and sub.
scribed to by himself setting forth
In detail the grounds stated and
added, IL have not prepared far
my motion based upon this aft.
davit, but presume it will be sulii.
cient If l do SO at any time during
the day"
Corkhill-May 1t please your
Honor, the time for filing such
motions and affldavits has ex-
pired.
Judge Cox-Well, we will post
pore the consideration of this
matter until the motion now before
the Court is disposed Of.
Scoville proceeded to read aft.
davits and other papers filed by
him with his motion for u new
trial.
Corkhill declined to comment on
the affidavits read by Scoville. Al
the conclusion of the argument by
Scoville, the Court took the m at
ter under advisement.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2nd.-A 1Ymes's
Washington special says: Blaine
will make the point against Arthur
that Trescott, with his own hands,
wrote the belligerent paragraph in
his instructions after he 1ad had
one or two private interviews with
the President and that he got the
points for the paragraph from him.
This certainly presents q very fun.
ny phase of the situation. Tres
colt has been represented as one OF
the most careful and conservative
of men. Being a man thoroughly
experienced in diplomatic sffait 8,
1t is but natural that he should
complain of part of his instruc-
tiOns being revoked, as was the
portion written by himself, and 1t
Is not unreasonable to suppose the
latter part of the dispatch sent by
him to Secretary Frelinghuysen,
which was suppressed before being
sent to the Senate, was q protest
against the revocation of the or.
ders given him. The publication
of Blaine's first circular will be
used by Mr.. Blaine and his asso-
ciates as an argument against the
claim that he was in favor of in.
volving the country in any war.
