Of June Term, A.D. 1881. THE UNITED STATES VS. CHAI J. GUITEAU. Points on Application of Defendant for an Order of Court Allowing Witt eee, iC. May it please the Court: ‘The defendant in this case has applied for anorder under the Revised Statutes, relating to the District of Columbia, as follows: “See. 839. In all criminal trials the Supreme Court, or the judge trying the case, may allow such number of witnesses om penal of the aetend- ant as may appear necessary, the fees thereof, with the costs of service, to be patil in the same manner a8 government witnesses are paid.” statute was enacted February 22 1867, and was copied verbatim into the Revised Statutes as ction 839, under an act of Congress entitled “An. act to revise and consolidate the stitutes of the United States, general and permanent in thelr na- ture, relating to the District of Columbia, in force on the ist day of December, A.D. 1873.” Approved June 2, 1874. ‘There has been no repeal or modification of this statute since Febru 3867, unless it may be held t9 have been absointely repealed by a general statute of the United States hereinafter referred to. ‘Twenty-one years before th ee of the act above quoted an act was passed entitled “An act to regulate the proceedings In the circuit and dis- {wet courts of the United frites and for othr purposes,” approved tf section of Whirh was incorporated into th= Revised Statutes of the United States as section 878, and reads as ! follo “Whenever any person indicted in a court. of the United States makesaMidavit setting forth that there are witnesses whose evidence is nite his defer hat he cannot safely go ty t out them; What he expects to prove by each of them; that they are w'thin the district in which the court fs held, or within one bunured miles of the place of trial; and that he fs not possessed of suficient means, an. Is actually unable to pay fees of such witnesses, the court in term, or any Judge thereot in vacation, may order that such Witnesses be subporaned If found within the | ‘ts aforesaid. In such ease the costs incurred the process and the fees of the witnesses s aid in the seme manner that similar co fees are patd Incase of witnesses subpanacd in Tnited States? sbeen in fullforce as a general law ates since If was enactad. T ‘This law ofthe United actice in the Supreme Court of the ‘columbia, abeve referred to, tuibarises in this case is, he law of 1867 repealed by the law of 1846, by Virtue of a statute approved. February 21, 1671, in- corporated as section $3 in the Revis-d Stitutes re- lating to the District of Columbia, as follows, to wit c. 93. The Constitutl United States which are n and all laws of the locally inapplicable, District as elsewhere withth the United States.” The arswer to this question would seem too plain to need to be announced. Yet, since the prosecution seriously maintains the affirmative, let us look into It. Of course, the solution of the question depends upon ascertaining the inteat of Congress. ‘The Passage of the act of 1867, While that of 1846 was In Tull force and effect, 18 evidence of an intent to a specific law for this District different from the general law of the United States. ‘The power do that cannot be dented. When, if cver, las that intent been changed? Was It shown’'to be changed by the act of Fetruary 21, 18717 Aside from the settled rule of construction, that a special law, for a specific purpo, will’ not be held to be repealed by a general act, Pearce vs. Bank of Alabama, 33 AYa.,683; Blain vs. Batley, % Ind., 165, we have the tntestion of Congress tn dicated unmnistakably on this subject subsequent to February 21, 1871. An act was passed in 1874, approved June 32, 1874, entitied “An act to revise and consolidate thé statates of the United States, general anc t in their nature, relating to the District, of olumbia, In force on the first day of December, A. D, 1873.” Section 839 of this act is the one first above given, and is | thereby declared by Congress to. have been “gene- id permanent Mh {ts hatere,” and to have been n force on the first dy of December, A. D. 1873.” When ‘ter, and through what repealing power, did It cease to be “in force?” Certainly not through the act of 1871, nor through that of 1846, nor through beth combing, for both hid been opera- tive from and after the 2st. day of Febraary, 1871, yet Congress solemnlydeclared in 1874 that | the act of 1867 was in Tull fome 2nd unrepealed on | the first day of December, $873. And tt was re- enacted conjointly with the declaration 6f Con- gress that ft was th force Déeoember 1, 1873, on the | 2A day o!

Let us see if! tuls is so. Briefly stated, the question in that case | Was Wlietticr a proviso enacted March 3, 1865, a8 an amendment toa general law of July 2, 1864, was also applicable as an amendment to a special law Telating to this District of the sare general char- | acter a8 the general law of 1864; and the court held | It to be so applicable by virtue of the act of Febru- ry 21, 1871. ‘This statement shows at a glance th difference in the two casex. In the one case, t give the construction asked absolutely repeals special law by implication; in the other, the deci- | on of the Supreme Court extends an amendment oue Inw affecting the whole country so a3 to make it apply to a ike statute of this District, But let us examine the case of Page agt. Burn- stein more at length. At the time of the enactins of the amendment spoken %f, to wit, March 3, 180 there was a gencral law permitting parties to suits to testity in thelr own behalf. ‘The spectal statute relating to the District of Columbfa was to the 5 ‘Mect, though in somewhat different lan- guage. The amendment to the general law Was 43 1ollows: “Provided further, Thit in actions by or against executors, administrators, or ae 3, 11 h judgment ‘may be rendered for or against, them, neither party shall be allowed to testify against tie other us to any transaction with or statement by the testator, intestate, or ward, unless called to testify thereto by. the opposite party, or required to testify, thereto by the court.” rhe question was, whetherthis amendment should @ held applicable tothe special law of this rict by virtue of the act of February 21, 1871 being section 93, aforesaid, which — provided tat’ all laws of the United Stitrs, not locally inapplicable, should have the” same foree and ifect within the District as elsewhere. The Supreme Court held the amendment applica- ble, and the gist of the whole opinion 4s contained in A single sentence, pige 67, to wit: “The same vensiderations of public policy which would re- March 3, 1875, in the ciréwt and district courts of the United States, ‘without regard to the laws of the seopeaave States on the sume subject, would ruagest Its application in the administration of Justice In the courts of this’ District.” ‘The court | of necessity would be a_ prolonged one; th “the conclusion reached in those cases have no .pplication to the quest‘on before us” May not the same rensoning apply to, the case under con- ideration? Cot itself, the legislature for the le of this District, “had enactad laws covert he same subject as those to which the general statutes of the United States referred,” to wit, Te- lating to procuring witnesses for a defendant in # criminal proceed.ng. It should be, “therefor, ruled that the territorial [District] enactment regulating the practice and proceedings of tert- torial (District) courts were not displaced or super- seded by general statutes upon the same sudjesi paterd by Congress in reference, to courts ot te United States" In the territorial cases referrc to there was in each instance a similar statute to that of February 21, 1871, relating to the District of Columbia. ‘The attention of your honor has thus been called to the points of law on the application of the de- fendant. He asks no forced construction of any statute in his favor. His counsel belleves a proper construction, saving and fiving full effect to al the acts of Congress, will enable your honor to make such an order as he asks, to wit: that he may have summoned a like number of witnesses as are arrayed against him on behalf of the prosc- cution. 5 ‘The court ts assured that the order asked will only be availed of so far as may be necessary to a fair trial. Having failed to obtain the services of counsel who have been asked to undertake the de- fence, and the responsibility devolving entirely upon myself at last of indicating what the defence willbe, T have no hesitation in saying to your Honor that T shall summon no witnesses except on the question of insanity. The question of mal- ractice has only been held in abeyance, so that leading counsel who might come in nevd not be hampered in organizing a defence according to their own views.” It is now abandoned, so far as I have any connection with the case. Respecttully submitted, Gxo. ScovILLE, Def't’s Atty. Wasuincton, D.C., October 18, 1881. AN APPEAL FOR EVIDENCE.

Please communicate at once with George Scoville, Washington, D. C. GUITRAU MUST APPEAR IN COURT. There are some expressions of opinion among the learned in the law to the effect that it will not be necessiry for Guiteau to appear In court during the argument on the question of jurisdiction, which argument fs to commence on the 30tia inst. peremn; torily. A Stan reporter approached Judye this morning on the subject said that every step taken ih the consideration of ju‘teaw’s case will have to be taken In his pres- ence, and that he will have to be in court during argument on the question of jurisdiction. WHY GEN. BUTLER CANNOT TAKE THE CASE—HIS LETTER TO MR. SCOVILLE. Mr. Scoville has received the following from Gen. Benjamin F. Butler, dated at Boston, October 15th: “I have the henor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 10th instant, which did not come to my hands until after Thad made answer to a Rewspaper correspondent about the case of Guiteau, contalning the following. strong appeal on your part: “I appeal to you for the sake of justice,and to Save the Anerican people the disgrace of a historic record. that. a save citizen of the Republic would assassinate the President, to accept the defense of Guiteau. Will you not act 1f assigned as counsel by the court?” I have waited before I answered your letter to see what time would be assigned for the Cox and that able jurist trial by the court, so as to ascertain if my pro-! fessional engagenients would permit me even to entertiin your request. I see by the newspapers, which I suppose are correct, that the trial Is per- emptorily set for November 7 proximo. If the trial was set Tor a time when Tcould possibly devote toysclf to this case T should very carefully welgh your applicatioa before I refused it.
