THE PRESIDENT’S WOUND CAUSED HIS DEATH. ‘The first week of the trial of Charles J. Guiteau for the murder of James A. Garfield closes to-day. ‘The week has witnessed a much more rapid prog- ress in the case than was expected before the trial opened. Then it was predicted that the trial would drag along into the next calendar year. Now there are people about the courts &perienced in trials who venture to say that the trial will be over within six weeks, Another noticeable thing of the week is the constantly increasing public interest, as evidenced by the growing crowds that assemble about the doors. This morning at 9 o’clock there was a dense mass of people in the corridor of the east wing of the City Hall. There was also a small army assembled on the portico at the main entrance of the Criminal Court room. GUITEAU DON’T WANT RABBIT BUT “GOOD BEEF- STEAK” FOR BREAKFAST. The van containing the prisoner was driven Tapidly up to the curb at the east wing about nine o'clock. The transfér to his room up stairs was made quickly and without demonstration. Gut- teau breakfasted in his room and expressed much disgust because he was given rabbit. “I don’t want rabbit,” he said, “I want good beefsteak.” The prisoner was apparently in a splendid humor. SCENES IN THE COURT ROOM THIS MORNING. ‘The court room, as usual, was not opened tothe public until nearly 10 o’cloc! Mr. Smith, of the counsel for the government,was one of the earliest arrivals, and busted himself writing on some doc- ument, having his nose close to the paper on which he wrote. John Guiteau next appeared, and sp | his mail out on the table before him. Mr. and Mrs. Scoville were also early arrivals, Mr. Scoville had donned a white vest, and looked very’ serene, as if Satisfied with the trial so far as it liad proceeded. ‘The other actors in the dally_proveedings lowed, Guiteau, the prisoner, being, a: last person to arrive. Whe Proceedings To-day. ‘The court was called to order at 10:07 a.m. The prisoner was brought in soon afterwards, carrying as usual a bundle of papers. WHERE GUITEAU GOT THE MONEY TO BUY THE PISTOL. George C, Maynard, electrician, was the first witness called. In giving his test'qsony he re- ferred to memoranda. He sald he had known the prisoner 20 years ago, and met him again last spring. On the 12th of March last Guiteau came to his office; sald he was hard up; wanted to pay his board bill; expected a check of $150 in a few days, and borrowed #10. On the 8th of June he returned; stated that he had received his expected remittance, but had been obliged to expend the money; that he owed money again for board; expected a remittance of 500 soon, ind said that {f witness would lend him $15 he would gave him a due bill for #25, covering both loans. Afterwards Guiteau returned, got the #15 irom his clerk, and lett the due bill. ‘The due Dill, in ordinary form, was submitted in evidence. GUITBAU OBJECTS. “If the court please,” interrupted the prisoner, “I desire to object to this line of evidence. What has thls case got todo with my circumstances— whether I owed $25, or any man owed me $25. I make this objection, with Mr. Scoville’s consent. I can produce a hundred witnesses here who will swear they owed me $25.” The court asked Mr. Scoville if he desirea to make that objection. - Mr. Scoville satd the prisoner had made the ob- Jection in good faith; the defence did not under- Stand what this had to do with ft. ANOTHER INTERRUPTION BY THE PRISIONER. Mr. Corkiiill said that the prosecution proposed to show that with this money obtained to pay his board with, the prisoner bought the pistol. “Not true,” interrupted the prisoner. “Keep quiet,” sald the judge. “I did not ask for the money to board with,” said the prisoner. caadeae GUITZAU COMPLIMENTS THE WITNESS, MAYNARD, BUT CONTRADICTS HIM. Aneffort was made to keep him quiet, but it failed. He broke out with “A good fellow, Mr. Maynard Is, and I owe him $25. I didn’t say any- thing about a board bill when I got the money.” ‘The witness then continued, saying that he first saw Guiteau in October, 1859, In Ann Arbor, Michi- gan, where he was boarding with his (witness?) mother; he had seen htin a few times for five min- utes ata time. He thought he saw him here first during the election, “Twas in New York at that time, sir,” inter- Tupted the prisoner. I came here in March.” he witness was cross-examined by Mr. Scoville 35 to Guiteau’s appearance, and sald he looked ungry. The prisoner here safd, indignantly, “I boarded ata first class house and had all I wanted to eat. Twant that Impressed on the public. Thad ac- qualutance with public men and had ali the money wanted. I didn’t want any money.” The witness, continuing, referred to the pris- oner’s a ance as seedy. ‘The prioner broke in again with an atrof injured ride: “I had a $70 suit of clothes on. I did not look very seedy.” ‘The witness explained further that the prisoner impressed him as one who had not had a square meal for some time. “I was well-fed all the time I was in Washing- ton,” broke in the prisoner, “It was mental anx- fety that made me loox thin. I had a heavy Weight on my mind just then.” ‘The witness, continuing, sald Guiteau had a pecu- Mar manner, a skulking gait, and a haggard look. “vhat was from mental anxiety,” persisted the prisoner, “not from lack of food.’ Joseph U. Benkett, 1317 11th street, Mr. May- nard’s clerk, was next called, and simply corrobo- rated the former witness. WHERE GUITEAU BOUGHT HIS PISTOL. John O'Meara, the dealer In sporting goods, who sold Guiteau the pistol, was called next, and iden- tified the prisoner as the person who had purchased a ‘bull dog” pistol. He came first on the éth of June, looked at the pistol, and two days later re- turned and bought it. He was very anxious to know the strength of the pistol and get one of the heaviest caliber. Mr. O'Meara identified the pistol, and, at Juige Porter's request, withdrew the four retmalaing charges, as it Was not considered safe to leave them In’the revolver. Another Outbreak of Guiteau. ‘When Mr. O’Meara left the stand Guiteau ad- : “If your honor please,” he said, stand. ‘The doctor's name Mas become familiar all over the world asthe Ys physician.

Dr. Bliss thereupon endeavored to translate the story intoordinary English. The wound made by the ball, he said, was the immediate cause of death. While waiting for the vertebre: of the dead Presi- dent to be brought in, Dr. Bliss was cross-exam- ined by Mr. Robinson, who Bad the doctor describe at length the symptoms n in the President’s case and the treatment. On the morning of the 8d of July, the President appeared more refreshed and cheerful; there were simple dressings applied to the wound; efforts were made to induce retention of nourishment. On the 4th there was very Httle change; on that morning Drs. Agnew and Hamilton arrived: a consultation was held, in which all the physicians that were in subsequent attendance were present; there was no change in the treatment. ane Robinson asked what had occurred on the or % of an hour; was ‘House; he remained witness was in con- ‘and_accom| with him till his of his death was the abdomen; wit- mortem examination. jed_ description of “To give you a daily history of the case, I would have to refer to our notes of the case,” sald Dr. Ss. Mr. Robinson said he would give opportunity for the production of these. Mr. Corkhill sald that Dr. Woodward had a com- Plete record of the case and he would be called as a witness, Dr. Bliss, continuing, said these notes were in Dr. Woodward’s possesstom; there were a number of physicians who came in voluntarily at the depot, and afterwards came to the bedside; there were examinations made of the President, reading of records and other usual proceedings before the arrival of Drs. Agnew and Hamilton; one of the physicians expressed the opinion that the liver Was lacerated and that the President was dying of internal hemorrhage; the general consulta- tion among these physictans was on the morning of the third; when Drs. Agnew and Hamilton ar- rived they ‘were given a careful history of the case, and they made President; Drs. Town depot when the witn: end and Purvis were at the ed; Dr. Townshend told witness he had examined the President, but | the wound had not been probed. ‘THE STORY OF THE WOUND. At this point the portion of the backbone of the President, as 1t was found at the autopsy was handed to the witness, and also a diagram show- ing.a section of the human anatomy. The doctor went over the story of the wound again, tracing the ball from its entrance to the point where t was encysted. The doctor was here surrounded with bones, and looked like a professor giving a lecture on anatomy. He talked slowly and dis- Unetly, twirling his eye-glasses on his thumb. At the request of the district attorney he descended from the witness box, and going over to the jury, walked up and down explaining the difrerent points. The district attorney, taking the ghastly relic of the President in his ‘hand, aided in the operation of impressing the jury’ with a clear notion of the nature of the wound. The doctor sald that the fractured vertebne, as It was formed at the autopsy, had commenced to rot. Mr. Robinson then proceeded with his cross-ex- amination, questioning thedoctor closely in refer- ence to the course of the ball. ‘The doctor supposed the pall turned upon its axis when it struck the eleventh rib and was de- flected downward, backward and outward sufi- clent to fracture the twelfth rib and was then turned to the left. ‘The fi was for the pus sac under 5 of the body imple incision into it evacuated the pus; the cavity was outside of the rib, down- ward and backward near the spine; neither of the incisions were cut into the traek of the ball; the Dall did not cut the spinal cord; two small frag- ments of the fractured bone were found during life. “Tt was discovered at the autopsy that there was a division of an artery which had formed an aneurism ; the sac thus formed had ruptured and the blood had passed into the abdomen; beyond this sac the track of the wound had closed and the ball had encysted. The ball emerged from the spinal column above the panereas and was found out 334 Inches at the leftot the center of the spinal column and behind the pancreas. THE BALL FOUND IN THR BASIN. “Was not the ball found in the basin?” asked Mr. Robinson. ‘Yes, sir. When the soft parts were taken out, the ball was found.” “Did you know before the operation what artery operation fe Skin on the Outs erformed was injured?” “No, sir, we did not know.” After other questions Mr. Robinson asked: “Was not the track of the ball leit in the corpse?” “I think not.” “Nor (Lthink not.” “If the break in the artery and the ball were discovered in the basin,” asked Mr. Robinson, “ what showed that the artery had been divided ?* “The parts,” sald the doctor, “are recognizable by anatomist. Again, the condition of the artery Was such as to indicate that the division of the artery had occurred a long time prior to the autopsy or to death.” A GHASTLY SPECTACLE—THE ASSASSIN HANDLING THE DEAD PRESIDENT'S BONES. Atthis point of the examination the section of the President’s backbone was placed in Mr. Sco- Ville’s hands, and taken from him by Guiteau ‘The prisoner examined it very criticaily, and then, whispering to Mr. Scoville, pointed out with his finger, showing the place where the rib had been fractured. Dr. Bliss, to further questions trom Mr. Robin- son, said, With the exception of the artery, the Test of the wound was doing as well as could be exponten: Mr. Robinson said he wanted to learn as well as the doctor could give it the entire record of each a: Mr. Consent cones, 1 for Dri Woodward, for. the of Ing the which Dr. Bliss Ticeded to refresh his memory Dr. Woodward was notin the court,and the crier said that Dr. Woodward had made arrangements to be telephoned for when necessary. “With whom did he make the arrangements?” asked the district attorney. “With the marshal,” was the reply. qHe had no right to make any such arrange- ments,” szid the district attorney. Mr. Robinson went on with examination. ‘The witness sald that Dr. Wales sald the witness had pased his finger into the wound on the night of the 2d, and expressed his opinion that the ball had passed through the liver; several physicians “Tdesire to request John B. Townsend, of New York, to assist in my defense; a well-known criin{- nal lawyer; also, Hon. Leonard Swett, of Chicago: also, E..8. Trude, of Chicago. Ihave heard from Mr. Townsend, and he says he will assist. I have not heard from Mr. Swett. Thave been expecting Mr. Trude for two weeks. I give the public notice of this now. There is plenty of brains on the other side, and I desire and request an equal amount on this side, in interest of justice, and I intend to have it.” GUITEAU SAYS HE HAS NO FEARS POR HIS PERSONAL SAFETY—HE KELIES ON HIS “BODY GUARD.” ‘The prisoner was quiet for a moment, and then broke out again: “I desire to say something else in this connection. I understand that there are one or two disreputable characters hanging around, tls court. The chief of police has kindly given me aguard. Lhavea body guard.

Col Almon F.

At Mr. Scoville’s request he again went over the ex- planation of the course of the ball. “Did you ever,” asked Mr. Scoville, “pass a probe in beyond the 11th rib?” “Do you mean in the track of the ball,” inquired the doctor, “Yes sir.” “No sir.” “Did you ever pass a probe in any other part of the body beyond the eleventh rib?” nse) sir. 1 passed a probe through the pus rack.” “The doctor explained that they had used a gum tube, which had sunk into this cavity by Its own welght; when Drs.

Mr. Corkhill said he had ascertained that the re- cord in this case, instead of being kept by Dr. Woodward, was kept by Dr. Reyburn, and was in his hand-writing. Dr. Reyburn and the record ‘were in court. DR, BLISS WAS THEN, RECALLED and further examined by Mr. Scoville. He first explained the position and the nature of the artery that was cut. The clot of blood that had been formed closed the track of the wound, he thought, and prevented the blood from flowing through it. “Was there,” asked Mr.Scoville, “an entire agree ment between you and the physicians first called in the case?”, “T think there was, sir.” The doctor, continuing, sald that Instruments were passed into the wound every day, to keep the track open; the wound was cleared every day with a fountain syringe. He thought at first the ball had passed on in the same course as that indi- cated by the first examination; when there were eritonitis he had begun to have it; all of the physicians, except Reyburn, Barnes and Woodward, had been arged after the 8d. “By whose authority?” inquired Mr. Scoville. “ By the authority of the President.” “Who was present when he gave that author- ity?” “Mrs. Garfield and myself.” “Have you not somewhere, in a published re- rt, admitted your making’a mistake in your agnosis of the case?” “Yes, sir.” “ What was that?” Dr. Bliss here explained the error made in calcu- lating the course of the ball. THE MEDICAL RECORD OF THE CASE. Mr. Robinson here took the witness. Dr. Bliss was given the record of the case which Dr. Rey- burn had kept. Mr. Robinson then pursued his questions as to the symptoms noted each day. Dr. Bliss took the record, which had been kept in an ordinary blank or “pass” book. The Doctor stum- bled through the first few lines with some dimi- culty. Then the district attorney suggested that Dr. Reyburn, who had written the notes, could heip him, Dr. Reyburn was then sworn and stood the box with Dr. Bliss, helping him out here and there. The record was @ continous story of the se, beginning from the time when Dr. Bliss ar- rived at the depot, and was very long. THE CRANK WHO WANTED TO SHOOT GUITEAU. Bethard, the crank who wanted to kill Guiteau was in his cell yesterday after the Police eo | had sentenced him to 105 days in the workhouse for drunkenness when a Sak reporter called upon him. Bethard sald that if his friends would not give bonds for him he would have to give up the idea of killing Guiteau. He sald he had the good fortune to secure the loan of a good six-shooter yesterday morning, but took a little too much whisky before he got down to the court house, and was locked up. He remarked here that there are plenty of good chances to shoot Guiteau without Shooting anybody else when he ts being taken to and from the van, and described how it could be done. He also said that there 1s half a million in it for any man who shoots Guiteau, and his state (Onto) will go that much. In answer toa ques- ton, he said that he was playing for this stake. He Said, “It will be some gratification to be near him when he fs hung;” but he would rather ha been sent to jail than the workhouse, so that he could see the execution. DISPOSITION OF THE BAILIFFS. The immense rush for admission to the court room entiils much labor on the marshal and dep- uty, and the bailiffs and messengers, as well as the special bailiffs. The regular bailiffs are detailed as follows; Capt. J. H. Tall in special charge of the prisoner, witm two officers seated always just behind him; Dr. P. G.

Douglass, jr.,in the witness’ room; Mr. Carlin (special) at thé main door of the court room on the east side, and others are stationed in various portions of the Toom and about the building. Mr. Scoville has received a letter dated New- port, Pa., November 17th, and signed by Jefferson Adains, Saying: “As I Bee you have some dim- culty in obtaining a Jury for the Trial of Chas.
