Atlengh Judge Porter paused, and Scoville
| dmanqed that he be allowed to make similar
shtetnstlts in ferIF. a
Jude Porter attempted to go on but SEQ
vile, enforced by the claInor Of the prisoner
succeeded In getting the floor; when. with much
excitement, he demanded that his rights, and
he Gained that he had rights, should be re-
speed. He insisted that Judge Porter had
no tight tostate what the newspapers said or
VIA they didn't say, and he desired an excep-
tio1duIy noted:
COL. CorkhilI insisted that counsel had no
hent to object. The prisoner had been al-
bVed to state what he had received in the way
of letters. He had been permitted to read
them, to read extracts from papers and to
male all sorts of statements as to what the
American people and press were saying of him.
Judge Porter was simply contradicting these
ststements
Judge Cox intlmated that the prisoner was
not allowed to do as charged, but could not be
restrained from doing so.
Seoyille-" Well, can't Judge Porter be re-
strsined?"
The Judge ruled thst the speaker might con-
tradict assertions Of the kind made by the
prisoner.
Judge Porter then read from printed evil
dence several of the more noted examples Of
this effort on the part of the prisoner to deceive
the jury.

AS Judge Porter rose to resume his Address,
ne assassin shouted out that two cranks had
cen hanging around the courtroom and IL
they undertake to harm MIN they will be shot
down. Judge Porter opened by the assertion
that the whole defense has been an imposture.

Of SteRograpner Bailey MIR. Scovllle demanded
TO be heart and Mr. kUed expressed the opln-
ION That the court should arrest Judge Porter Tor

White House, ADDING, Aud don't you forget
IL Judge Porter Replying to this taunt from
tue prisoner, Judge Porter described hlm as
slippery as all orange peel, as yenonlous as a
rattenake, and, speaking OF the act OF tie
maruer, said tlIis WAS a rattlesnake without
rattle, Tut moi without fansss.
Juuge Porter pointed out the cunning, the
dupnclly, the acting OF the prisoner SLICE tue
ueSlnnliig OF the lrlal. Referring to the oft-re-
pcaied assertion that he lad seuC Garfield pre-
ljaled TO meet his God, and lie (Gu.teau), TOO,
was ready to die if God wllied it, Judge Porter,
With deliberate emphasis, said; Il 40 noE be-
