Mr. Cuppy stated that Mr. Brott had een at his office in the morning and he would give ball when itshould be*fixed. The government said it would be satisfied with $5,000 bonds, and Mr. Cuppy sald Mr. Brott would be in Monday morning. Mr. Cook stated that there was some @imiculty’ in finding Mr. Brott when the case was pending before Commissioner Bundy. Mr. Cuppy replied Uat that was caused by te delay of the government.

When the crier returned from the witness’ room, he answered: “ He is not here, sir. We have tele- phoned for him.” Mr. Scoville then called for Senator Thomas F, Bayard and ex-Speaker Samuel J. Randall, ‘The crier, after making inquries, announced that Senator Bayard was not in town, and Mr. Randall was being hunted for, .GUITEAU’S PACKAGE OF NEWSPAPER SLIPS. There being no witness present whom Mr. Sco- ville wanted to examine at that time Mr. Scoville used upa long time reading the package of news- paper slips which the prisoner left at ‘the depot, and which were identified some days ago by the | prisoner. These slips, from a great many differ- ent newspapers, were. articles referring to the stalwart and antt-stalwart controversy of last summer, ‘The-prisoner, during the reading, was an atten- tive listener, dnd occasionally interrupted Mr. Scoville to make some comment. “I had about 50 or 100 of these slips,” he satd once. “Whenever I w anything that referred to my inspiration or he politica! situation, I was apt to ent it out.” His other remarks were, “That 1s just the strain in which those papers’ talked all the time,” or “That shows that Garfield was trying to crush out the stalwarts,” and other similar expressions. Senator David Davis as a Witness. Senator Davis having appeared in the room Mr. Scoville temporarily suspended the reading. The Senator was placed on the stand and sworn. He testified that he had been Senator from Tlinots, for four years. The witness talked very low, so that some of the words were lost to the reporters. Mr. Scoville asked the witness what attention he had given to political matters. “Thaveciven the same that most other people give,” sald the wituess. “Tum not a member of elthér political organization,” “Did you know,” asked Mr. Scoville, “of the cause that led to the war of the rebellion?” ‘The witness demurring against such a question, the court said It Was not necessary to go Into such matters, ; | ,, tl decline to answer,” sald the Senator, “unless | | the court orders it, for’ I Cunt see the use of it at all.

Yesterday afternoon, on the return of Guiteau to the jail, a member of Congress had an inter- view with him, lasting half an hour. The copver- sation was mostly on political subjects, 1@was | noted that Guiteau answered quickly and intelli- gently every question put to him, but when the tember alluded to the shooting as a calamity he Uurned to look out of the window. On a change of | question he readily resumed the conversation, and until the member remarked “I fear that the coun- try will not recover from the calamity caused by you,” he was in good humor, but then became sui- len and unwilling that the interview should be continued. The impression he made on the mem- | ber Was that he was a sane man, and perfectly re- sponsible. Any one familiar with Judge Porter's gentle and quiet manner in conversation, would hardly recog- nize him when cross-exemining a witness. He as- sumes an impressive air of dignified solemnity, poses with great grace, and uses his index finger with remarkable effect. Sometimes he delivers his words with the stately utterance of a trage- dian, and again gives his manner the softness of a oe ee with his lady love. Altogether, the rapid discharge of artfully constructed ques: Uons, Would be apt to upset a witness of greater mental alae’ than Guiteau.
