from trip among tho remote and unfrequented
lakes of northern Indiana ran across little cabin
occupied by Attorney Scovill the lawyer who
defended c. J. Guiteau in his trial for the assas-
sination Of President Garfield.
The humble cottage in which Scovill was found
is situated near the banks of Mud Lake. where
he lives the life Of the most rigid recluse neither
seeing nor being seen. His simple wants are
supplied by the merchants OF the nearest town.
He puts In his time nobody knows how as his
unkempt and uncouth figure is seldom seen out
side the walks Of tho little low cottage half hidden
by the growth OF twining vines and underbrush.
From an able. afabo and influential barrister.
Scovil has grown into taclturn, morose, un-
approachable hermit desiring no communication
with the world in which he was such conspicu-
years ago. Scovill feels that he is still Stunned
and despsed by everybody for his part in trying 10

nothing more than his duty. The loss OF his
wife and other miSfortunes that seemed TO pursue
him with a relentless hand added TO his melan-
choy and confirmed him in his determination 10
