He always seems ready and glad to leave the jail and go to court, as he regards the trial evidently as a sort of triumph for himself. ‘There was a crush for admittance at the doors very early. ‘The inter- est in the trial does not appear to be waning by any means. There was no demonstration at all when the prisoner was taken through the crowd. In the morning the people are too intent upon various stratagems to get into the court room to Pay much attention to the prisoner. Then the guthering ts generally of a very respectable char- acter. In the afternoon, about the time the prisoner 4s expected to be brought out, a legion of hoodiums gatier about the City Hall, and swell the S07 those pouring out {rom the court room. ‘That 15 the time when the prisoner skulks behind his guards, for he seems to think that be is not in dan- ger when surrounded by well-dressed people. He ate his breakfast this morning in his room at the court house EARLY SCENES IN THE COURT ROOM. A few minutes before the court opened, Marshal } Henry made his customary speech to the crowd, enjoining order. “Please observe,” he sald, “that same deportment and quiet that you would in church.” Mr. John W. Guiteau_and Mr. Scoville were the first of those immediately interested In the trial to arrive in the court room, Mr. Scoville held a long consultation with Mr. Charles H. Reed, who sat by lis side. He still curries iS memorandum book, and never hampers hiuself with how books. The jurymen were punctual in their uttendance, their movements being, of course, immediately under the supervision oj the court cificers. ‘The court wa: led to order at 10:10, Mr. Scoville said thitif the prosecution would consent, Instead of proceding with the exemina- Uon of Mrs. Scoville, he wouid lixe to examine two or three witness’s trom the west who desiied to oO home. ‘The prosecution said tuey wo! ime for the examination of these witne: adjournMentif Mrs, Scoville’s examin then not concluded. Further Testimony of Guiteaw’s Sister. Mrs. Scoville was then called to the stand and Mr. Scoville continued the examination. Referring to the visit of the prisoner to her home, in Wis- consin, she said he seemed to have bigger notions then than she had ever known him to have; she thought he spoke about lecturing and buying the Chicago Iuter-Ocean. WOMEN WEDGED IN THE COURT ROOM DOORWAY. At this point the examination wis interrupted by @ great commotion at one of the doors, A crowd of people were wedged in the vestibule and doorway. Women, who were subjected to un- usual pressure, began to scream. One cried out, | “Oh, Vil die it I can't get out.” Others pleaded to be let out. Finally the vestibule and the doorway | were cleared by the officers, und order was re- stored. MRS. SCOVILLE RELATES MORE OF HER BROTHER'S ECCENTRICITIES, Mrs. Scoville then continued. She related an in- cident where Guiteau had thrown a dog over the balusters of a stairway and broken his leg. Her brother overheard her tell a lady that she was alarmed at his condition and became very violent, saying that If she were placed in an asylum, the place would go on allrizht. She described again the Incidents related by the witness Olds respect- ing wn adventure in the Sall-Boat and the sop ns ot hickory trees instead of apple trees.

She was about to produce it, when Mr. Corkhiil here spoke up and said to Mr. Scoville, “Will you tell the object of this testimony, Mr. Scoville?”” Mr. Scoville said he thought the truth of the statement regarding the mother’s sickness might be questioned, cussion, Mr. Scoville said he would After some di not insist on showing the hair. “I did not know,” ‘sald Mrs, Scoville, “but that, Some One might think I was not telling the truth, and I suggested to Mr. Scoville that I should have the hair here and show it.” Mr. Scoville shortly afterwards announced that he was through with the witness. Mr. Davidge arising, with a polite obeisance, Said: “Mrs. ‘Scoville, we will not trouble you, madame,with any questions on cross-examinailon. You may sit down, madame,” “I am very much obliged, str,” sald the wit and leaving the stand she returned to her old seat at the defence table. A WITNESS WHO CORROBORATED MRS. SCOVILLE. Geo. T.

CKOSS-EXAMINATION OF JOHN W. GUITEAU. The witness on the stand, Mr. John W. Guiteau, was then turned over to the prosecution for cross” examination, He sald he had made up his mind that the pris- oner’s mind was unsettled In Octaber upon looking over his old letters, He had never stated to any one that he had no doubt of the prisoner's sanity. or responsibility; What he had said was publishe he had never stated to Mr. John H. Barron that the prisoner was sane; he did not think that he had said the prisoner's Act was one of “pure cursed- ness.” He believed then that his brother's was a case of demonism, that he was possessed of the devil, and he so stated to. Mr. Barron; witness, knew Dr. Charliss Collers, of Boston ; hi ainceting over Which the Doctor presided after the shooting. “Lused to attend these meetings myself,” said the prisoner, “when I was in Boston. A very nice man. : ‘The witness thought he said then that the pris- oner was insane, but responsible; he always said that he believed betore God that he was responsi- ble; but as to his responsibility before the law he could not judge. He held this view until he re- ceived the letters written by his brotier to bis father. GUITEAU SPEAKS UP AGAIN AS TO HIS RELATIONS WITH TIS BROTHER. “It should be stated here,” said the prisoner, in- terrupting his brother, “that there has been no fellowship bet ween my brother and me for some years. I offended him by something I said in the last Interview I had with him in Boston.
