WHAT BIALL HE DONE WITTE HIM? Spretas Diepater, to Tas Caicaao Tribune, Wasintsatox, D. ©, Nov. 18—Tho out- rageous conduct of Guiteau in the court- room is causing Inwyers to consider whether Judge Cox, under the Constitution, can ex- clude Guiteau from the court-roum, Inits- much as the Constitution of the United States declares that a person being tried for a criminal offense shall have the right to a publle trial, and to be confronted with tis witnesses, ‘Cho Court In this District has once removed & rofractory prisoner pening his trial, but the ense wis never carried up on appeal. ‘The nearest caso that has ever been decided by tha United States Supreme Court was the Mormot case of Reynolds, Reynolds claimed that the vor- dict should ba set aside, becausy he. had not been confronted by the prinofpal witnessus. It was shown by the Government in the rec- ord, howover, that REYNOLDS HAD HIMSELF SPIRITED AWAY one of the prinelpal witnesses. Upon that bellef Chiof-Justice Waite, interpreting the Constitution, sald: ‘Lhe Constitution gives the aceused the right to atrial, nt which he shall ba confronted with the witnesses against him, but If a witness is absent by his own wrongful procurement he cannot complain it competent evidence tg adinitted to supply the place of that which he has kept away, ‘Phe Constitution does not guarantee an accused person agalnst tho legitimate consequences of his own wrongful acts, It grants him the priviloge of being confronted with the wit- nesses, but If ha have tuken the witnesses away he cannot instst on this privilege. If, therefore, when absent by lls procurement, their evidence is supplied in some Inwful way, he Is inno condition to assert that his constitutional rights have boon violated.’ ‘The luwyers think that tho following Inn- sunge in Chlef-Justiee Watte's dectston—- “The Constitution does not guarantee an aveused person against THE LEGITIMATE CONSEQUENCES OF HIS OWN WRONGFUL ACTS" — would prevent Guiteau from insisting upon the vonstitutlonal right to be presont at the trial, which he obstructs aud practically pre- vouts by his own turbulence. ‘Che court oftl- cors ure beg somuwhut criticised for giving Guitean such a liberal allowance of food at the court-houso after hie has had his regular prison fare, It has beon tho theory of those who have been fimniliar with-his Mfo that Tigh-living?

It bueomes dally more evident that Scoville and Guiteau's brother and alster have no contro! over him, | He disregards their pleas and ontreatios as much and as scornfully as lo docs the ropressive ef- forts of tho oflicera. ‘Tho witness to wham Quitenu has patd the most nuttention during the trial was a young Jady who was present in the waiting-rovin In the depot, and who “BAW THE BILOOTING, She seoms to have been the only oug of tha witnesses thus far who saw tho first shot.
