APPEARANCE OF TITE WRETCIE YESTERDAY MORNING, . To the Western aAstuciated Press, Wastinatox, D.C, Nov. 16,—Tho back entrance to the Criminal Court room was opened nbout 0:0 o'clock this morning, and alinost tinmediately about fifty Indies were ushered In by Deputy Marshals ant given seats in chairs immediately tn tho rear of counsel A few minutes before 10 o'clock tho jurors who hitd beon accepted entered tho rvom and tools seats, Before 10 o'clock the court-room was filled to overflowing, the audlonce being avery respectable one Court was called to order, and during tho calling of the name of Jurors the prisoner was brought fn, Ills appearance was wild and exelted, Tle tossed his-hnt upon the desk before hin, and turning toward his brother-in-law, Sco- ville, hurriedly whispered something to him in an oxtremhely exelted manner, ‘The two entered {nto conversation, and Guitean, while speaking, used his clenched fist vigorously, as if insisting upon A MATTER WHICH RCOVILLE SEEMED TO "DISAPPROVE. The talesmen being called, Judge Cox questioricd' the first, K. 1. Kengla, upon his feelings regarding to prisoner. Kengln re- sponded that he did not think there could possibly bo sufficient ovyldence to change tha opluion he had formed, ‘The next iilesman enlled was excused almost nt onee, having formed a decided opinion, A laborer, named Thotnag, declared that he had neither ex- pressed nor fornier an opinion, eannot read, and had. never held any conversation whit- ever ou the subject. Scoville remarked that this man was about the kind ofa juror the Jaw contemplated, but tho defense did not watt him. He therefore challongéd him peremptorily. A colored barber name Williams was called, and haying formed no opinion, was ‘examined by- Scoville. Le read the papers every morning before 7 o'clock, and, . BEING A TARNET, of course had conversed a great deal on tho subject. In response to inquiry whother he had ever been a juror in a murder case he ald he had, but the jury disagreed. ‘This remark caused considerable amusement thronghout the room, After further ques- tloning Mr. Willits was exensed, Willian HL. Browner, commission merchant, being closely questloned by Scoville, and no objec- tion being advanced by the Government, was necepted and duly sworn, making the tenth juror, George-T. Keone, in response to ine terrogatories, snid there was nothing under the sun which could change the opinion he had formed, and several other gentlemen were as decided In their answer ag was Keene. T, Hetnlein, an sron-worker, was sworn ns tho eleventh juror. Thomas I. Barron, carpenter and builder, answered tho preliminary questions In x satisfactory manner, aud was ‘more closely exam- ined by Scoville, He hnd talked very lit- tie, nnd nover formed opinions until ho had heard both sides, He never had been a Free- mhson. He had onee been an Odd-Fellow, bit had dropped that order becaugo It was the duty of good citizens to help everybody, Being asked whether he belloved IN A NEREAPTER, hié sald that present {mplicd hereafter, and ho belioved evory violation of Inw, whether nat- ‘ural or spiritual, would be punished. When asked whether ho had ever employed any ot the lawyers for tho prosecution, he said the only lawyer he had over employed was Davidge, and his’ experience with Inw then ‘was such that ho had never sucd aman since, Delng asked whether his+ wife was living, he sald: ‘ Yes, what is. loft of her—not much.” Tho dry and caustic humor with which this man replied to ali questions afforded much amusement. Scoville at last made up his mind to accept ‘Barron asa juror, but the District-Atlorney preferred to excuse him, and interposed a peremptory challenge. ‘Thera were thirty- two men examined between the tenth and eleventh jurors, There have been len per- emptory challenges on tho part of tho de- fense, ‘The noxt talesman examined was C, A. Payne, boot and shoo manufacturer, who proved acceptable to the deferise, but was peremptorily challenged by the Government, Joseph Prather, commission merchant, was accepted and sworn us tho twelfth juror, MALPRACTICE, One of the talesman, on examination, salt his opinion of the caso had been materially changed by the bulletins of the attending stirgeons, which had appeared dally in the windows of varlous business hotses through out the city, ‘The Distriet-Attorney ques- tioned the tulesman on this point, and after relterating his changed opinton he was per- emptorily challenged by the Government. After the talesman explained the cause of his changed opinion, Guiteau whispered to a newspaper correspondent: © Put that in.” ‘The prisoner seemed much gratified with the stitement, ns it tended to establish the idea of malpractice, ‘The court adjourned until tomorrow.
