VRANGLING COUNSEL.
Scenes i'm tho Trial OF Con. Swain
To-day.

The proceedings before the Swain court.martial
this morning were enlivened at the outset Ey a
long and acrimonious wrangle between counsel, In
which much OF the unpleasantncss that has been
developed at times the case has progressed, was
the presentation, by Judge shellabargsr, OF coun-
sci Tor the defense, Of written motion to the
court, stating that, IN view Of the unusual crcum
unfair to the accused to compel counsel for the
defense to make the argument In this case in the
opening, without hearing any part OF the argu-
nouncement made before recess by the Judge-advo-
cate that the prosecution would close the argument
and not make any opening). The motion stated
the request OF the accused that both sides be re-
stricted to one argument or else that the prosecu
ton be directed to state their case in the opening
and be ALLOWED ve the closing argument thus giving
what points would be made by the prosecution.
In presenting this MOTION Judge ShellabarHer
p:ior to the recess, at which time It was under.
stood that the defense would make two speeches
their side no had written to the Judge advocate
they made two speeches he and Mr.. Chandler would
both speak, and OF his further announcement that
the prosecution would make both speeches after
the defense had argued the case, they would only
make one speech and expected that the prosecu-
ton would make only one.
"a TRICK ON THE PART OF THE DHFENsH."
The Judge advocate said that this letter only
reached him on the 3lst OF Dece mber after he had
made all his arrangements for argument, accord
ing to the understanding at the time the court ad.
1ourned He said that he could not now change
mis- arrangements. He added that the letter Ia
dated the 26th December but that it was addressed
to him simply at 'sWashington," when the defense
well knew his address, and that he was In New
YORK. He stated that he looked upon this letter as
ga trio on the part OF the Defense"
Judge ShellaDarger replied very hotly to the as
persiOn upon the defense. He said that from the
beginning OF this case the judge advocate had been
nsinuating various things against the Defense and
had openly charged counsel for the defense with
almost every crime in the decalogue.
