HIS REMARES ASHE HAD THEM PREPARED SELECTING THE JURY. ‘The trial of Guiteau for the murder of President James A. Garfleld, at the Baltimore and Potomac depot, on the 2d of July last, begun to-day in the Criminal Court, Judge Cox. The trial will be re- garded as the most’ Important criminal cause ever tried In the District, both on account of the dis- tinguished position of the victim of the murder and the peculiarities of the case. Within the Criminal Court room, there were evidences at an early hour of the important work athand. The platform erected last Saturday out- side of the bar, had been provided with chairs and benches, forming a gallery from which a fine view of the whole court room could be obtained. In front of the clerks desk six tables were ar- Tanged for the benefit of the counsel and re- riers. Pens, ink and paper were provided iberally on each table. Before ten o'clock none except those having official business in the court room, and reporters, and news| Tr corres- pondénts provided with passes were admitted. REMOVAL OF THE PRISONER FROM THE JAIL TO THE COURT HOUSE. ‘The marshal, anticipating that there would be acrowd at the court house and, perhaps, at the Jail, at the hour when the prisoners to be tried are usually removed—9 o'clock a.m.—arranged last evening to have the prisoner ready for departure from the jail an hour earller—that 1s, at 8 o'clock this morning. ‘The prisoner, having had a good night's rest, arose early, eat heartily and appeared to bé in the best of spirits. He arrayed himself in asuit of black and his high-crowned slouch hat. Shortly before 8 o'clock the prison van, ac- companied by Deputy Marshal Williams ‘and Captain Joseph H. Tall in a buggy, appeared at the jail door and Guiteau was brought out. He had been handcuffed in the warden’s office and Was put in the van. ‘Two policemen (mounted) Preceded the van and two rode behind it, Ma}. Williams and Mr. Tall following the latter in’ thelr buggy. The procession arrived at the City Hall about8:12 o’elock a.m., having drove very. fast. Guiteau was at once taken to the marshal’s pri- vate room (over the witni m) where he re- mained until the court convened—two officers being in the room and one guarding the stairway. A reporter gained access to him, when he asked about the crowd, remarked that he had slept well and expressed the wish that “this speech” (printed elsewhere) should appear in type in full. ‘The prisoner at the jail, as Perry Carson was about to place the hanidculfs upon him, Simply Te- marked to Major Williams: “This is all right, I suppose.” Major Wililams answering In the affir- mative, Guiteau quietly submitted his hands, and with alight step entered the van. As it passed through the Capitol grounds Bethard, the man ‘who it will be remembered was arrested for threat- ening to shoot Guiteau when the latter was aT Taigned, was walking along and looked up sharply atthe van, but probably was again unprovided with a pistol, as he made no demonstration. There was not the crowd about the court-house at an early hour that was expected. At9 o'clock there Were not over 200 people about the building. At that time the balilffs were all on duty as well a3 half a dozen special officers, and a number of Hcemen, some of them in Citizen's clothes. marshal’s officers wore badges of red. ribbon, two inches wide, with the words, “U. 8. Deputy ‘Mar- shal, D. €.,* and the specials were as follows: Charles B. Smith, J. E. P. Carlin, Amos Fox, T. F. Shryock, George G. Curtis and’ Wm. A. Morse. ‘These were stationed about the doors and hall- ways, SCENES IN THE COURT-ROOM BEFORE THE PROCEED- INGS OPENED. A few minutes before ten o'clock a steady stream of people begun to pour into the court-room. The first lady who appeared was attended by two gen- tlemen and shown in by Sam, the district attor- ney’s messenger. These three took stats in the front row of the “gallery,” or platform. Mr. Sco- Ville, counsel for Guiteau, shortly afterwards ap- peared carrying a littie memorandum book in his. hand and took a seat at the outer table immedi- ately in front of the judge, reserved for the coun- sel for defence. District Attorney Corkhill shortly appeared. He was accompanied by hisassociates, r. Walter D. Davidge and Judge J. K. Porter. ‘The latter gentieman attracted the most atten- tion, being the most recent addition to the counsel in the case. He was attended by a young gentie- man, who lugged an immense vaiise. The three prosteuting officers immediately took ession Of the district attorney’s table, at the right of the judge. Judge Porter to writing, while essrs. Davidge and Corkhill talked over tile situ- ation. “The seats for the Rewspaper correspond. ents were all taken before 10 o'clock and many had to mingle with the members of the bar. Among the newspaper correspondents present were Beck he ford, New York Tritune; Whyte, Chicago Tribune; Andrews, Chicago Inter-Ocean; Murray, Philadel hia Times; Hayes, New York Associated Press; tt Smith, Evening Press Association; Eddy, New York World. At quarter to ten o’clock there were some 400 People outside the court-room clamoring for ad- mittance. A few minutes afterwards the doors Were opened, and the noise was ke that heard in e gallery of a theater during a popular engage- ment when the doors are first opened. ‘The steli- ence was soon seated and arrayed in perfect order before the court opened. The chairs accommo- dated about $0 people. So far as possible, the officers of the court kept the alsles clear. ‘There were four ladies in the audience. Just about ten o'clock Mrs. Scoville, the assassin’s sister, and her brother, John W. Guiteau, entered the room and took seats by the side of the chair provided for the prisoner. ‘The Great Trial Begun. At five minutes past 10 o'clock Judge Cox came in and took his seat on the bench. The hum about the court-room was at once hushed by the words of the crier, “Come to order; hats off.” He then sang out the old familiar words, “Oh, yez; oh, yez;” and the court was at once made ready for business. ‘The witnesses’ door, at the right hand of the judge, was then opened and THE PRISONER WAS USHERED IN by Deputy Marshal Williams and a police officer. Guiteau was led to his seat between Mrs. Scoville and Mr. Robinson, and immediately in front of the judge. Here the deputy marshal stopped and unlocked the handcuffs that bound the prisoner's hands. Two police officers—Cunningham and Slattery—were seated just behind the prisoner. During the opening proceedings Guiteau sat with eyes cast down and hands clasped in his lap, say- ing not a word and apparently paying little heed ‘to what was going on. THE GOVERNMENT READY FOR TRIAL. When the prisoner was seated, District At- torney Corkhill rising in his seat broke the im- pressive silence by saying: “If the court please, Iwill call the case of the United States against Chas. J. Guiteau, for the murder of James A. Gar- field, and say that the government is ready to pro- ceed to trial”, ME. ROBINSON, FOR DEFENCE, APPEALS FOR MOKE ‘TIME AND ADDITIONAL COUNSEL. Mr. Leigh Robingon, who had just arrivéd, di- vested himself of his overcoat and rising, spoke slowly and ;with some trepidation at first. He spoke of the eminent gentlemen who had come into the ease for the prosecution. He spoke at con- siderable length, stating that he had undertaken to secure additional counsel. He referred to Mr. Scoville, saying that his relations with the de- 817 NINTH STRRET, BAVE AN ENTENSIVE STOCK OF GOODS IN ALL THEIR LINES. FURNACES, RANGES, LATROBE STOVES, SLATE MANTELS, GRATES, &c.

He had Just come, he said, from an in- terview with a gentleman who he knew would participate in defence if so assigned by he court, but whose engagements were such that. he could not voluntarily enter the case. He desired the court to grant him Lime to arrange for this additional counsel. A180, he said he had three witnesses to suminon for the defense, whose names were, he said, well known known to the court.“ He quoted at length to show authorities for assigning additional counsel at this time. It was absolutely required, he said, in order to make effectual what the court desired— that the accused should have a fair trial. He would give the names of the witnesses that he wanted a ee court. Assuring the court that my grass grow under his feet in his efforts to obtain assistance, he again appealed for time and additional counsel GUITEAU WANTS THE TRIAL TO Go on. Guiteau, rising here and putting his thumbs in his vest pockets, sald: “If your honor I desire to address the court. I was not aware that my counsel this morning intended to make this application. I want to make my defense—" Judge Cox here interrupted the prisoner, ny tently sa en, oe & eet thine to taake your nse, The question to be settled is ‘he «pplication of counsel for further time.” “I con't wish further time,” rejoined the pris- oner, “We are ready to try this case,” E “The question now 1s,” said the court, “between the court and the counsel" ‘MR. CORKHILL OPPOSES FURTHER re Guiteau having been pulled down into his seat, Mr.Corkhill rose and made a reply to Mr. Robinson- He spoke of the time and privileges already granted tothe prisoner. | He did not think that anything Would ‘be accomplished by granting Mr. Robin- son’s: jus Mr. Robinson saa he would make amdavit tn reference to the witnesses, and if the court pleased hand him the name of he wtitnesses. ‘MR. ROBINSON'S AFFIDAVIT. Mr. Robinson then taking a paper from his pocket, swore fo it, the clerk administering the oath, and then was about to read {t. Then pausing, he said it would be more proper for him to hand it to the court. So he handed it to the court. When Judge Cox had read it District Attorney Corkhill reached for it, and, when he had read It over, said there was nothing in the paper which could not be Tead publicly. ‘The affidavit wa not read, but filed with the clerk. It set forth that three gentlemen now ab- sent from the city and well-known to the court, had had contact and conversation with the ac- cused prior to the 2d of July last, and pronounced him insane; and also said there was another gen- tleman ina distant city whose testimony they needed, who had been written to and had not re- plied; the defence wanted the order of the court and time to produce these witnesses. AN UNPLEASANTNESS BETWEEN COUNSEL FOR THE DEFENCE. : Mr. Scoville, here rising, said he thought tt pe- cullar, if not unprecedented, that such an applica- tion should be made and that he should have had No previous notice ot it. “T have no objection to your seeing thes Midavit,” interrupted Mr. Robinson. Mr. Scoville proceeded, epeamang of his connec- tion with the case. He said he cared not for eti- quette, except for fairness, and unless he was to be consulted in this matter he did not want any further connection with this case. The time had come when these things should be said. All he could say was that he was ready for trial, but he did not care to have further connection with it. He referred to his attempt to get assistance. He did not want the matter arranged, and did not think it should be arranged against the know- ledge and desire of the near relatives of the prisoner who were in court. He said the members. of the famfly desired to get Gen. Butler as counsel. There was Some hope of getting him. GUITEAU SAYS HE DON’T WANT MR. ROBINSON IN THE CASE. Guiteau here rising sald, “I don’t want Mr. Robinson in this case. I won't have it. I don’t like the way he talks.” WHAT THE JUDGE SAID. Judge Cox said that as it was the desire of the prisoner and his relatives to go on, he thought it would be best to go on without procuring the as- sistance asked by Mr. Robinson, and to proceed at once, at any rate, to organize a jury. MR. SCOVILLE WANTS THE PENDING QUESTION SET- TLED. ‘Mr. Scoville objected to going further without having it settled at once, whether he was to know of and be consulted in the matter. The judge said no one would be assigned without his consent. GUITEAU EXCITED. Gulteau here struggled to his fect, against the force brought to keep him down, and said very loudly and emphatically: “I don't want Robinson on the case, and I won’t have him if I can help it.” Then pas to the officers who were trying to pull him back in his seat, he sald, loudly and an- grily, “Mind your own business.” THE JUDGE SAYS THE CASE MUST GO ON. Guiteau having been quieted, the Jutlge sald he did not see any way to do but togoon. He would give during the trialto Mr. Robinson such time as was absolutely necessary to arrange for his witnesses, He asked what assurance Mr. Robin- son had that the gentleman he had mentioned would serve. Mr. Robinson said he could assure the court, that if the gentleman was assigned by the ct purt, he would consider himself as under obligation’ to serve. GUITEAU AGAIN. Guiteau, rising again, said: “Mr. Scoville ts next tome. Iam going to do my business my- self. (Turning to the officers) Mind your own business. Iam in the presence of the court and will talk as much as I feel like.” THE COURT'S ASSURANCE OF A FAIR TRIAL. The judge, referring again to the application of Mr. Robinson, said he would grant him all the in- dulgence possible. He referred to the fact that the application was for no greater length of time than Mr. Robinson had originally applied, He was inclinced to have the trial proceed without delay. “I intend also,” said the court, “that the defendant shail have 4 fair trial, and that the re- proach shall not rest on the court that he was urried to the gallows without a fair trial, to ap- pease the public indignation raised by his crime.’ THE JURY PANEL SWORN. He then ordered the business of the court to proceed. The panel was sworn in the usual way by the clerk, Mr. Williams, The first juror called was B. Lewis Blackford. Mr. Blackford took the stand, ready to be questioned. THE COURT'S ADDRESS TO THE PANEL. Before propounding the usual questions the court, addressing the panel, said: Before you are interrogated individually, I wish to make one or ‘two observations: Under the Constitution of the United States the prisoner is entitled to be tried by an impartial jury. But an idea prevails that any impression oF opinion, however lightly formed orfeebly held, disqualifies from serving in the character of an impartial juror. ‘This 1s an error. As the Supreme Court says: “In these days of hewspaper enterprise and universal education every case of public interest 1s almost as a matter necessity brought to the attention of all the intel- ligent people In the vicinity, and scarcely one can be found among’ those be: for jurors who has not read or heard of itand who has not some impression or some opinion in respect to its merits.” If the pre- valent idea I have mentioned were correct, it would follow that the most illiterate and unin- formed people. in the community would be the best qualified to discharge duties which require some intelligence and information. It 1s now generally, if not unfversally, agreed that such opinions or impressions as are merely gathered from news- papers or public report and are mere hy- Pothetical or conditional opinions, dependent upon the truth of the reports’ and not SO fixed a8 {to prevent one from givin; a {gir and impartial hearing to the accused, and lering a, verdict according to the evidence do not disqualify. On the other hand, fixed and de- cided opinions against the accused which would have to be overcome before one could feel im- Partial, and which would resist the foree of evidence for the accused, would be inconsistent Pith the impartiality that the law ‘requires. ‘There is a natural reluctance to serve on a case like this, and a disposition to seekto be excused on the gfound of having formed an opinion, when in fact no real disqualification exists. But it is your duty as good citizens to asstst the court in tue administrition of Justice in, just such cases, unless youare positively disqualified, and I shail expect You on your consciences, to answer fairly as to the question of impartiditty, according to the explanation of ft which I have given you.” Selecting the Jury. ‘The first question asked of Mr. Blackford by the court was, whether he had formed any opinion of the case. “I have, str,” replied Mr. Blackford. “Is that opinton,” asked the court, ‘one that would prevent you trying the case impartially?” “It was,” said Mr. Blackford, “a very firm and fixed opinion, and it would require testimony of a ‘ery unexpected and extrao character to “T expect this juror will have to stand aside,” sald the court. “Mr. Blackford then stepped down ou ‘The next juror called was Philip B. Otterback. He had forined a fixed opinion, and was set aside. Mr. Geo. B. Fugitt had conselentious scruples inst capital punishment, and was set aside. Abner C. P.

Brandenburg asked to be excused. He passed a good examination and was about to be accepted. He begged hard to’ be allowed to go home and attend to his business accepted, however, and forced to serve Frederick A. ily stationer, was next examined, ha formed an unchi opinion ae ame. ‘alker Dade (colons) was set aside on John Cum! ‘Boat Mr. Scoville asked one of‘the jurors if he had formed an opinion in reference to Sergeant Mason's case. He asked also in reference to whether there Was insanity in the jurors family; what his Teligious belief was, &c. questioned as to his politics. One of the jurors was. ‘The governinent objected. “Mr. Scoville claimed that it was proper in this case to go into that question, and said he would produce his authorities this afternoon. ; One of the jurors, Cumberland, had had insanito in his family. The defense said'they would accept him, but he was challenged peremptorily by the government. THREE MORE JURORS ACCEPTED. Henry J. Bright, retired shoe dealer, could act impartially, and was accepted, making the third Juror accepted. Charles C. Stewart, flour and feed dealer, sald he could give, he thought, a verdict in accordance with the evidence. He was accepted, making the fourth juryman sworn, Thomas H. Langley, a grocer and provision dealer, was called, and was accepted. ‘MORE JURORS SEP ASIDE. Robert Allen, @erk in a Jewelry store, challenged by thedefence. Oneof the questions put to th: Jurors by Mr. Scoville was whether they were in the habit of forming an opinion from what they Tread in newspapers. Mr. Langley being asked that question replied “No, sir.” “Dt you ever know the newsp2pers to tell a lie?” asked Mr. Scoville. “Of course,” replied Mr. Langley, hesitating, “I seé many things in ‘the’ paper that I don’t _ believe. Warren Armfield (colored) was next examined. He said at first he had never formed an opinion of the guilt or innocence of the accuse: “Do you mean to say,” asked Mr. Scoville, “that er formed an opinion about this case?” not right away.” ‘h did you form’such an opinion?” I formed one a few daysafterward.” “What was that opinion?” “That opinion was that he did the shooting.” The juror said he kK now and it first formed. The ‘court asked him his opinion was so fixed that he not impartially try the case. The if could juror was greatly confused by the big words used by the Judge and the sound of suppressed lauchter from every quarter of the court-room. He went on to give his views as regards the state of mind of the prisoner. He was set aside by the court. James E. Young had formed a fixed opinion, and was setaside. John A. Von Doren, watch-maker, had partially formed an opinon, which would not prevent him from discharging tits duties as a Juror mpurtially. He had no prejudice against the de- fence of hisanity C “Have you,” asked Mr. Scoville, “expressed any Opinion as to the defence of insanity in a murder al?” “I have, I suppose, sometime expressed such an opinion.” “Is your feeling against that Sort of defence; have you any prejudice against it” “Yes, L have.” Mr. Robinson objected to the juror, but the objection not being sustained, he challenged him peremptorlly. Frank P. May and Thomas W. Phillips had_ formed decided opinions and were aside. J. R. Trem- ed the judge's ex- «was turned over to 3 ‘aid he did not permit newspapers to form an opinion for him. He had gone to the Baltimore and Potomac depot, he said, and made 9 personal examtr f Guiteaw’s ‘uilt. Upon thi on le was set aside. W. ood Garner had formed an opinion and was set aside. THE PANEL EXHAUSTED AND SEVENTY-FIVE TALES- MEN ORDERED T0 BE DRAW! ‘The panel was here exhausted. District Attor- ney Corkhill asked an order for drawing fifty names from the jury box. “Ot cours#,” sald Mr. Robinson, “a lst of the names drawn will be served on the defence.” ‘The district attorney said that under the lberal examination permitted by the court, the necessity of looking up their antecedents before they came into court was obviated. Mr. Davidge suggested that {t would be better, in order to provide for all contingenctes, to draw a hundred. ‘The district attorney said that it would be best to draw a hundred at a time, as under the new law those not needed could be’ returned to the box. The court ordered seventy-five talesman to be rawn. biy, picture-frame amlnati THE CHOSEN JURYMEN CAUTIONED. Two bailiffs were sworn to take charge of the Jurymen already accepted. The court instructed these jurors not to hold conversation with any one regarding this case and not to read the news- papers, Another Scene with Guiteau. At this point a reporter had gone to Gutteau, gotten a paper from him, and was making for the door. Mr. Scoville called the attention of the court to this and asked thatthe paper be brought back. He did not, he said, wantit to go to the public. “If your honor please,” sald Guiteau, springing up, “if you will allow me a moment, I would like to make a speech to-morrow morning. My. post tion Is just this. Itis important that this thing should go out in order to affect public opinion.” Mr. Scoville protested that he did not want this paper to go out. “It the court please,” said Guiteau, “I am not exactly under the control of my counsel. I propose to manage my own case.” “The court has assigned counsel in the case,” re- marked Judge Cox. “Tdid not ask you to do it,” sald Guiteau, as he was forced back into his seat. He then proceeded to mutter against the ruling of the court. Meanwhile the paper had been recovered from the reporter and Mr. Scoville placed it in his pocket. ‘THE COURT ADJOURNED. Mr. Corkhill said that if agreeable to the court they would like to take a recess each day from 12:30 p.m. to 1o’clock. The court, at 1:05, ad- Journed until to-morrow morning. ‘The court was cleared within five minutes, none remaining but a few officials, COURT ROOM SCENES. ‘The scenes in the court room as the trial pro- gressed were exceedingly interesting. Despite the efforts of the officers, the aisles became crowded, and there was a wall of people before noon standing at the back of the platform, On one corner of the platform, an artist took a con- icuous place and spent the entire morning sketching the scenes below him. There were a number Of people of eccentric appearance in the chamber. One bald-headed gentleman, rather Shabbily _ dressed but displaying =a air of delicate kid gloves, was noticed. Bere was also a young man—a sort of amateur Oscar Wilde—with long flowing corn-colored lock and delicate “utterly utter” figure, who haunt the court-room during the star route proceedings. At the left of the judge’s Lee) pour oes ‘stood insquads on tables and other elevat places, to get a view of the prisoner and to hear what was going on. Mrs. Scoville remained a quiet listener during all the proceedings, occasionally smiling at some quaint saying of a juror. Guiteau himself occa- sionally broke out in a laugh. His brother took aseat by his side, soon after the examination of Jurors commenced. Mrs. Corkhilj, and Mrs. Me- Connell, a lady friend, occupied” seats near the district attorney’s desk, ‘THE ASSASSIN TAKEN BACK TO JAIL.

ME GIVES A SYLLOGISM TO PROVE THAT GEN.GARFIELD DIED BY MALPRACTICE—HE THINKS THE DIETY 18 DISPOSED TO FATHER THE PISTOL SHOT—SOME REMARKS ABOUT HIS EX-WIFB—HE DISCUSSES THE INSANITY QUESTION. Gutteau had in his “pocket this morning the manuscript of an elaborate address, which he had prepared to deliver when the court opened. He, however, was checked in his frequent attempts to speak. ‘The following ts the text of the address: If the court please, I desire to address your honor atthe threshold of this case. I am tin the pres- ence of this honorable court charged with “mall- clowsly and wickedly murdering one James A. @arfeld.” Nothing can be more absund, because, Gen. Garfield died from maipractice. ‘The syilo. gism to prove it Is th's:—Three weeks after he was shot his physicians held a careful examination, and officially decided he would recover. Two months after this oMclal announcement he died. Therefore, according to his own physicians he was not fatally shot. ‘The doctors who mistreated him ought to bear the odium of his death, and not his assailant, 7ney ought to be indicted for mur- dering James A. Garfield and not me. But I have been indicted and must stand my trial for the alleged homicide. Gen. Garfield was Prysident of the United States and I am one of the men that made him President. His nomination was an ac- cldent. His election the resuit of the greatest activity on the part. of the stalw: rts, and his re- moval a spectal Providence. Gen. Garfield was a 00d man, but a Weak politician. Being Presi | dent he Was in a position to do vast harm to the | republic, and he was doing it by the unwie use of patronage, and the Lord and I took the RESPONSIBILITY OF REMOVING HIM. I certainly never should have sought to remove himon my own account. Why should Teshoot him? He never harmed me. From him I expected an important office, I considered him my pollti- cal and personal friend. But my duty to the Lord and to the American people overcame my personal feeling, and I sought to remove him. Not being n a man, he was not fatally shot, but incom- petent physicans finishe ‘and (ey and not me, are responsibie for his death. Nothing politicalsituation last spring justified Gen, Id's removal. ‘The break In the republic party last spring was widening week by week, and I foresaw a civil war. My Inspiration was to Temove the late President at once and thereby close the breach before It got so wide that nothing but another heart rendering and desolating Wat could close it. ‘The last war cost the nation 4 mniilion of men and a biliion of money. The Lord wanted to prevent a repetition of this desolation | and inspired me to execute His will, Why did he inspire me in preference to some one else? Be— cause Thad the bruins and nerve probably. to do the work. ‘The Lord does not employ incom. petent persons to serve him. He uss the. best material He n find. No doubt there was thou- sands of republicans that felt as I did about Gen, Garfield’s “wrecking the republican party list spring and had they the conception, the herve, the brains and the opportunity, they ‘would have rimoved him. I of all the World was the only man who had the conception. On the trial of my case I propose to summon SOME OF THE LEADING POLITICIANS of the republican and democratic parties; also a the worl the leading New York and Washington editors, to | Show the political situation and the perils which surrounded the republic last spring. I propose to go into this branch of my defense exhaustively. Another reason the Lord inspired me to remove he President in preference to some one else 18 be- cause He wished to circulate my theological work, The Truth. This book was written to save souls and not tor money, and the Lord in circulating the book ts atter souls’ By it He preaches the Gospel, and prepares the world for their Judgment which some people think, and with reason, is not far dis- tant. Ihave been delayed in getting out anew edition of this book, which will Include a graphic narrative of my life; but I expect it will be issued shortly. More than one hundred witnesses have been Summoned by the prosecution. Two-thirds 6f them I know nothing about, and the court, I resume, will decide they aré irrelevant. The sue here is: ‘WHO FIRED THAT SHOT?—THE DEITY OR MET The Deity seems well disposed to father jt thus far, and Texpect He will continue to fathér it to theend. Itis not likely He will aliow me to come to grief for obeying Him. How do you know it was the Deity? I was so certain of it that I putup my life on it, and I undertake to say the Deity ts actively engaged in my defence. I am confident He will check the wise heads on this prosecu- tion. Ibeg they go slow. They cannot afford to get the Deity down on them. “He uttered His Voice,” says the Psalmist, “and the earth melted.” This {s the God whom I served when T sought to re- move the President, and He 1s bound to take care of me. Recently a Washington newspaper litho- of paper graphed a crampted pleve ad carried in My vest pocket a week, under the title of “Gul- teau’s Plea.” It was written when I had the ma- laria, at odd times, and I could hardly read it my- self, and so told the gentleman I gave it to, but he thought he could read it, and took it, as he was in haste. next heard of it asa lithograph. Owing to circumstances beyond my control I have been forced to ask your honor to assign me counsel and furnish me witnesses. I formerly practiced law in New York and Chicago.

Notably, his mixing with “Oneida Noyes,” for twenty-five years Was the curse of my father's life, and for six years I lived under the despotism he wielded ii the Oneida Community. I expressed my detestation of Noy esism then. To-day John H. Noyes, the founder of the Oneida Community, is an can fugitive on British soll. Noyes 1s a cold blooded scoundrel.
