REMARNKADLE SCENHS IN THE COURT YES TERDAY, Soectat Dispatch to The Chteaoo Tribune, Wasuinarox, D, C., Nov. 1%—This has been the most exciting day thus far in the Guitenu trial, and the enormous crowd which Was gathered in the court-room before tho hour of meeting was repald for the long walt and the scanty accommodations, There wero many more ladies in attendance today than at any the before, and so eager were they to etch a glimpse of the imfserable prisoner and to hear the evidence that they CHOWDED INTU TUF PRISONER'S BOX, and seomed unconcerned ng to tha fact of thelr surroundings, and Wore, not mindful that thoy attracted the attention of the audience scarcely Jess than Guiteau, Itis evident that public Intorest In the trial is increasing ng it pro- ceeds, Hundreds wero turned sway from the court-roum today, Mrs, Scoville, forthe first time, was accompanied to court by her little daughter, « girl of 7, and the audience almost shuddered to think thatthe young child should be pormitted to witness such terrible scenes. ‘The conduct of Gultenu grows worse as the trial proceeds. His un- governable temper, overbearing Insolence, and TREMENDOUS EGOTISM become more manifest every hour. Ife went 80 far as to defy the Judge at times, but was pretty woll cowed once, when Judge Cox, conspicuous for his courtesy, dignity, and urbanity, annoyed beyond mgnsure, told Guitean that he must hold his tongue—that his acts a8 counsel must be confined to con- ferences with his associate counsel, and that, ifhe did not preserve silence, the Judge would order him to be ironed and removed from the court-room. Guiteau seemed more scared at this deelnration of the Judge than atanythine that has happened stuee the trial, and shrank into his seat with» palo face and A CRINGING, COWERING AIR, buch as he has when he hurries through the jeering crowds to the prison-van, Gultean evidently hs it firmly In his mind that he fs to make his blasphomous speech to the jury before the trial ends, and he today was en- gaged In preparing an additional statement, Ono mizht almost think, from his bombastic Insolence, that he would willingly go to the gullows provided he could use the drop aga platfurm from which he might help to make WIS MURDEROUS NAME STILL MORE INFA> is 3oUus. It is evident that Guitonu will persist in making the row to the end of the trinl which he threatened unless the court shall take some summary measure, and it is also ovi- dent that Judge Cox and the Government counsel are very much in earnest, and will be Ikely to resort to summary ineasures to suppress the violent impertinence of this su- prome egotlst, TUE PRIGONER was brought in a little late, his-manacled hands full of newspapers, which he tossed upon the table as he took his seat. Le was ereoted, as usual, with a suppressed murmur of disgust. Quiteau’s counse! have evident ly discovered that thelr wrangle in open court on the first day of the trint has not been of advantaxo to them, and Mr, Scovillo today attempted a forced and rather unsatis- | factory explanation of it, Itis evident now, however, that whatever misundorstandings oxlsted have been removed. Directly after Scovillo’s statemont thora followed one of those extraordiuary outbursts of temper an Gulteaw’s part which we may expect all through the trial, Io roso excitedly, and, banging tho desk with his clenched fist, du- clared that he would ‘not have Robinson tn the case, Efforts on the part of the Court to quiet lm only increased hls passion, HE DEFIED THY JUDGE, saying that he wanted him to understand that the country was bigger than any court, and, If gaged here, he would make a nolse before the country, Sald Guiteau: “2 dont want Robinson in this case, and if he had proper respect he would get off, TIRAWs MY OPINION ON HTM,’ Judge Cox warned Guiteau, finally, that If he would not keop still he should remove him froin the court-room and proceed with the trial in his absence. “But I’M LEADING COUNSEL, and t know enough law to _kuow he must be heard,” crled Guiteau. “Your work as counsel,” roplled the Judge, “must be confiued to consultation with your associates." Guiteau svemed dashed by this poaltion of the Court, and sald Uttle more, except to de- clare that a special dispatch telegraphed to Washington from Chicago of n discovery of aconsplracy of which Guiteau was only one member was entirely false, “Chere fs nota word of truth in It," he exclaimed, and he added: “1 camo here as THE AGENT OF THE DEITY IN THIS HUSt- 68 not on my bands and knoes, That's tho Daily Tribune’? — e PRICE FIVE CENTS, ylew I desire your Honor to take of that sub- ° fect, and it is the one L supposed you dia ake,’ Judge Cox was plainly annoyed and por- plexed, but allowed the assasin to have hls say out and subside, After a fow words moro he ceased talking, ending with a hate- ful remark to Robinson: “wouldn't trust him with a five-doltar Inwsult!? he ex- claimed. “He has not brains enough. One or two blundering lawyers like him will com: promise my entire defense, and 1 won't al- Tow it? = So ended TUS VERY SENSATIONAL AND PAINFUL EPISODE, Guitean’s paroxysin subsided, and he began to write on the supplemuntary,statement he {a preparing. Another moment and Corkhill, who had left the court-roum, entered with Seeretary Binine and other officers of the State Department. ‘The coming in of this group diverted attention from the prisoner to then. Sesretary Blaine, pale and stern, was shown a seat ut Judge Porter's elbow. Hils son, Walker, and others were ace commodated with sents near by. Cork- hill then made an opening | address for the Government. Mr Corkhill’s opening statement to the jury was delivered with n good deat of oratorleal power, Mrs. Scoviliu was affected by It to tears, aud there were some moist eyes noticed in the jury- OX. GUITEAU PAID CLOSE ATTENTION, and evidently felt the sting of many of the fierce necusations of the District-Attorney. Once he burst out Into an attempted correc. tion, when a scene followed, In the passage where the District-Atturney showed that he had Uireatened ruin to the President, tho Prisoner, who was apparently a careless listener, dropped iis paper, broke ont, and sald with considerable nonchalance: “ Political ruin, your Honor, not personal ruin; that's what I mean? Here Judge Porter aroso and sad, with Breat gravity: “The administration of justiee, your Hon- or, and especiatly of criminal justice, should never be ubstructed by the clamor, or disor- der, or contumacy of the prisuner.” ee think,’? remarked Judge Cox, “that s IN THE POWER OF THE COUNT to have the prisoner removed and to proceed with the trial without 1m. “Twill not offend again, your Honor,” in- terrupted the prisoner, “1 feel a deep inter- est 1u this case,” “I should think, under the circumstances, you would,” remarked the Court dryly, Gulteau then subsided. ‘The testimony of Mr. Blaine was plain and direct, and given with great earnestness, THE FIRST STEP IN THE TESTIMONY is, of course, to establish the fact of the homicide as n matter of legal record. ‘Lhe defense do not try to contest this point, but direct Itiquirles with a view to shed Hight on the prisoner’s behavlor—whuther natural or strange. It wusScoville’s purpose, evidently, in cross-examining Bialne, to show that intenso politival excitement — prevalled, which unbalanced a nind naturally weak. Ue showed his inexperience, however, in the task, und did not make the polut as clear Jy ag ho Intended. Mr. Binine was notwill- ing to make political speech on the Conk- Ing-Robertson matter, although ho was ready to answer any specitic questions, In the coursyof his cross-vxamination, Mr. Blaine did take occasion to say that ho fad nothing todo, personally, with the Robertson mat- ter, a statement which, inasmuch ag it is made In court under outh, Is A RATHER IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTION tocurrent political history, and it ought to end further controversy on that subject, Mr. Blaine manifested considerable interest in Col. Corknill’s opening address, particulorly tu the reading of A NUMBER OF LETTERS which had not been published before, and among them this: (Private. Gey. Ganrieup:. 1 have been trying to bo your frlond. I do not know whether you ap- Preelate itor not. But Lam moved te call your attention to the renmrkable letter from Mr. Blaine which 1 nave just nuticed. According to Mr, Farwell, of Chicago, Blaine fs 2 vindictive Politician and an evil genius, and you will have no peace Wil you gut rid of him. This letter shows Mr. Ittaino fs u wicked man, and you ought to demand bis fimedinte resizuation, otherwise you and the Republican party will come to grief, 1 wilt seu you in the morning, if Team, and talk with you. Very reapectfully, Mays, Citanbrs Gurrgau, IT WAS A SURPRISE TO MANY who have followed this ense yory closely that the Government was In posseasion af so much documentary evidence, most of it writ ten in Guitcaw’s own hand, to show directly that revenge was tho motive of the nssusina- tion, and that it had been planned for weeks, This fict Col. Corknill succeeded In bring- ing out clearly In is opening address, fr. Blaine, in hls cross-exmninntion, also con- tributed to political history the juformation that ho INVENTED THE TERM “STALWART.” Promptly on his reappearance after’ the noon recess, Guiteau mudg another of his hateful demonstrations, He clamored to be heard, Insisting that ho was dissatisfied and displeased with hls counsel. Judge Cox suld he was satistied with them, und the prisoner must keep order, or he would re- move him and place him in frons, “1 don’t euro if youdo!” retorted Gulteau, "TL tell you there Is golug to bea big row in this business, unless I have proper counsel. L want It undarstood that Lam satistied with Scoville, Hels doing splendidly!’ Laying elyon his counsel this eulogy, lie turned to him floreely the next moment, and sald: “You had no business to suppress my appeal to the luwyers, Othurwisy, 1 should have had many replles by this the, YOU OUGHT TO BY KICKED, That's the plain English of it!” Te was finally quieted dowi after anothor poluted admonition from the Court, Seflor Comacho, Chargs d'Affatres from Venezuela, then took the stand, watving his diplomatic privilege, under Instructions from his Government, and told his story of the shooting as he witnessed ft, Gulteau inter- rupted him angrily once or twice to con- tradict his testiniony as to how tho prisoner wore his hat.

C.,, Nov. 1%—Mr. Blaine, after giving ‘hls name, and stating that he was at present Secretary of State, and thal he was acquainted with James A. Gartleld from 1803 tH! the hour of his death, answered, as follows the questions of counsel: Question—Are you acquainted with the prisoner at the bar? Have you ever seen lim before? “Answer—1 saw him occasion: ally-diring the months of Marel, April, and May—notso frequently in May. Q.—Were you in company with the Presi- dont nt the tine of the shooting ? A.—I was by his side. Q.—WHI you narrate to the jury an ace count of the proceedings In your own man- ner, so they will obtain a full narrative of the elrcumstances ns they ore familiar to you? A.—I wish to take directions a3 to what point to begin the narrative, Q.—You met the President by apnointment on the morning of the assasination? A.— Yes, sir. On tho night of July 11 was ene gaged with the President until! nenr mid- night on public business, On parting, ho suggested that [had better call and seo him in the morning before he left, because there might be some matters to which he desired, to call my attention, I went to .the Whito House In tho morting, reaching there at 0— not later thuu thrve minutes past. I was de- talued some little thie in conference with the Presidentin theCabinot-room and Mbrary —ayory few minutes, 1 thon STARTED WITH 1M FO THE DEPOT, he ridlug In the carriage In which I went to the White Houss—the State Departinent carriage in dally use by myself—following out of the White House grounds his own carrluge, In which his children wero carried, under conduct of Col, Rockwell. We rodeo down the avenue without any noticeable iuctdent, and at a moderate speed, On renehing the depot on the B street side— Jadies’ entrance, commonly called—we sat moment Jinishing the subject on which wo were then conversing, and the President turned round to say " Good-by.”” “ No," sald 1, “I will escort you.” I thought it not proper the President should go entirely un- attended. I will escort you,” I said, “and, besides, I wish to soe the gentlomen of the Cabluet who are golng to leave with you.” With that he alighted, He had got in, of cottrse, firktat the White House, and that brought him on the side next to the pave- ment at the depot, and, as the carringe was a sumll coupé, lo got out first ag a matter of convenience, Ho took my arm as we as« cented the steps, and turned on the left (he was on my left) to speak to some one, I think a police ofitcur—the same oftcer who had told us wo: hod ten or twelve minutes remaining, When ho turned to speak to.him, our arms became disunguged, necording to my -impression, and, as wo walked through the Indles’ walt ing-room, we were not arm-In-arm but side by-alde, He had got two-thirds across the room, when, suddenly, without any pre- monotion whatever, there was A VERY LOUD REPORT, a pistol-discharge, followed, in a very brief {ntorval, by a second shot, At the Instant I first heard the report, it occurred to mo it ‘Was some trouble between persons to whom we were in no way related—some such deed of violenco—and E touched tho. President as though to hurry him on, as 1 thought there might be somo danger to his person or my own. Just og 2 did that, tho President kind of threw his hands up, and said: “My Godt What ls this?’ It seoms to have been al- , most between the shots ho said this. Of course, in so exciting aud horrible a scene, Tecan only give an impression, not a minute statement, Then there rushed past mo & man, According to my recollection, he passed on tny right, though Iam aware this statement must be taken merely as my im: presslou. Ilnmediately followed after the man Instinotively, and went, “I- suppose, a distanco of elght fect. I remember 1 stopped Just outside tha door which led from the Judies' walting-room to the maln room, ‘Then a shout came up: “Wk HAVE aot uml" Tfound tho President had quite a-ak, He,
