SKIRMISHING BETWEEN COUNSEL. iG CROWD AT THE COUKT HOUSE. The east portico of the court house presented a most animated scene this morning before the court opened. ‘There were about 200 people crowded upon the steps,each struggling stoutly for adinissien. Those whose business required them to get into the court house were appalled at the sight. It was impossible even to get to the doors, and at the doors stood policemen, who turned an indifferent ear to the claims of every- one who did not. hold squeezed in their hand the uch-coveted red tickets. Reporters, law: and others who had to make their way through, by foul means or fair, adopted all sorts of devices! Muny climbed into the window. Others made perilous explorations among the naked jotsts of the “new wing,” hoping to tind some passageway into the building. Others stood outside, on the curb, and vented their disappointed spleen upon such individuals as crowded against them. Scores of ladies had their Gainsborough hats or crinoline crushed out of shape. Inside the court room the Spectators were crowded in so tightly that there Was not room for the officers to move around. uitenu’s Opening Harrangue. HE ANNOUNCES HIMSELF A CANDIDATE FOR PRESI- DENT. ‘The court was called to order at ten o'clock, and Gniteau was at once brought In and placed in the dock. As goon as he had arranged his papers he uted the court, saying: “Some of the leading people in America consider me a very fine fellow. Last night at8 o'clock I received a telegraphic dis- patee from Boston which I will read for the edifi- cation of this court and Jury and the American People, It 1s as follows: ‘Mr. Chas. J. Guitean, Washington, D.C.:—O1 Boston sympathizes with you. You are yet to be President. (Signed) A’ Host or ApMrnene.’ “J don’t know but two men in America,” contin- ued the prisoner, “who want me hung. One 1s Judge Porter, who expects to get $5,000 for it. The other is Corkhill. Corkhill {8 booked to be re- moved anyway. He wants to get even with me, because he thinks Tam the man that did 1t” ‘The prisoner stopped awhile and then, catchin, a new idea, continued to talk, saying: “It is sal I am too severe in my talk. I'have Somethin sayon that. What do you think of this: ‘Woe unto you, ye hypocrites, scribes and Pharisees! How can you escape damnation in hell? Ye gen- eration of vipers! How can you escape the damna- tion of hell?” Who said that? Who uses that lan- guage? The meekly and lowly, Jesus, I put my ideas In sharp language and have the example of the Saviour for it.

Dr. Walter Kemster, the Wisconsin expert, was then called to the stand, and Mr, Scoville proceed- ed with the cross-examin:tion. Mr. Scoville taking one of the witness’ annual rey examined him upon certain statements therein contained relating to hereditary insanity. It was true, the witness sald, that some insane persons exercised a gre: deal of selt-contrel when they bad an object in vie It was not an uncommon thing among the ins: to use the word pressure, but they ‘applied it to a feeling in their head. He would not suspect the Use Of the term as an evidence of Insanity. It was A fact thatinsane people génerally used strong expressions and som-times colned new words to express their feelings, but It was in connection only with the delusion’ that them. The wituess did not think it possible for any person to be insane for an hour and then recover. . THE CASE OF MARY HARRIS. “Did you ever hear,” asked_ Mr. Scoville, “ot the case of Mary Harris, who shot Burroughs in this city?” “Yes, sir.” “Do you think she was insane?” “I would not like to express an opinion on that. Ido not know enough about the case.” Mr. Scoville then briefly narrated the salient points of the Mary Harms case, and asked if they gave any indication of sanity or Insanity. “The circumstances would show neither one thing or the other,” replied the witness. THE SICKLES CASE. ‘The witness having remarked that he was familiar wita the Sickles case by reading, Mr. Sco- ville asked: “In your opinion was Sickles sane or insane?” “I think he was sane,” replied the witness. “You and the Jury don’t agree on that” culled out the prisoner. “The jury said that Sickles was insane.” The witness referring to the Cole-Hiscock case in Albany, said he belicved Cole was Insane. He ‘Was insane, he thought, for about 18 months pre- ceding the tragedy. Mr. Scoville landing | the Dlaster cast of Guttear ess, asked him to indi- ne z head to the wil cate any person within sight whose head was so misshapen as the one represented by the cast. Dr. Kempster said he could not do that without making a personalexamination. Herepeated that, ‘the cast Was very Well shaped, and represented an average hea Mr. Scoville finished his eross-examination of Dr. Kempster at 11:15 a.m.,and Mr. Corkhtil hav- ing asked one or two questions, the witness Was excused from the stand. ONLY ONE MORE WITNESS FOR THB PROSECUTION. Mr. Corkhill stated that he had but one more witness to examine for the government. He would like to inquire if Mr. Scoville intended to occupy any time after the government closed. ‘The court remarked also that it would like to know, if possible, how long the defence would re- quire to introduce its ‘surrebutting testimony. Newly Discovered Testimony for De- flemce. Mr. Scoville said that they had. some witnesses. There were several witnesses whose names had come to him since closing the evidence in chief. He intended to ask the court to allow them to be sworn on the same grounds that he would ask for a new trial; on the ground of newly discovered evidence. He understoo¢- the rule to be that the Poctpeg Grr Re A Ei hy ag eee of evidence new and material q points.

Davidge inquired how’ the defence would need for their evidence in Hesaidthe prosecution would consider to resistany attempt to reopen the case, The court requested Mr. Seayille to make out his application tn writing. iil ta tbee Gu ‘Mr. Davi aving w long the defence obnte be in surrel Mr. Scoville Bad: “You may say next week, “What, the whole week?” Mr. Davidge, with a comical expression of ste ‘Yes, sir,” replied Mr. POINTS OF LAW, ‘The court said that if there-were any points of law upon which counsel degired the court’s ruling when the arguments were made, he would like to have them submitted in writing some days before the argument. so thathe might have ample time to consider them. Mr. Scoville remarked that to-morrow was Sat- urday, and Monday was a legal holiday, It the ‘court will let the jury go to their homes, as the de- fence had asked, and give the defence to-morrow to look up questions of law, he thought that time might be saved. He did not propose that when duel. The bad feeling between Mr. Blackburn and Gen. Burbridge ts said to arise from the fact that the latter went into the Union army and was as- signed to the duty of preserving peace and puttin; rout the confe erates in the most intensel rebel section of Kentucky.” ‘Tus PRESIDENT.—The N. Y. Sun of to-day says: “Among those who dined with President Arthur at nil-2m_| Gen. Grant’s residence on Wednesday evening were Sharpe, George Washington Gatlas A and J. Drexel. Last even- Oe al ray were the Rev, sustin Devoe P, Ketchum, the: ee creat, had had these gentlemen (referring to the experts) here for five or six weeks consult- meshes around the ‘to be cut off in un- definitely proton He thought a few hours amply st Ment for formulating all the proposi- Hons of law involved in the case. If the defence Uhought a day necessary they could apply to the court, ‘We don’t want to open the case if your honor Please,” interjected the prisoner. “We want a chance to refute some of these false witnesses.” JUDGE PORTER'S PROPOSITION. Judge Porter suggested that the jury might be separated by letting each go home attended by a bailiff. He remarked that it was an involuntary imprisonment to all engaged in the court, and hinted that it might uit in death to some. “Or insanity, judge,” observea Mr. Davidge. ARKS OF JUDGE COX. Tudge Cox sald he thought the tendeney of the decisions was to allow the jury to separate, but he did not care to take the responsibility of sucl mpasure at this time, Mr. Hamlin, one of the Jurors, rising In his seat, sald: “The jury don’t destre to be parted at all.” THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY RESENTS AN IMPUTATION. Mr. Corkhill sald that he did not think the J were so anxious to gethome as they were to get to the end of the trial. As district attorney he would not like to risk having to go over the trial again. He gave notice that the court would sit to-morrow. The imputation cast upon the ex- perts, that they had been meeting nightly and Weaving meshes about the defendant, was dis- honorable. “They. te prisoner, pstified to it themselves,” broke in the ‘every man there.” MANIFESTATIONS OF APPLAUSE. He had, the district attorney continued, woven the meshes around himself. He (Mir, Corkhill) eulogized the professtonal standing and tategrity of the medical experts for the prosecution, The only two men, he said, who dared to say this man Was sane were two spawns of the profession, who were unable to say that they believed in God. {Sensation and manifestations of applause.) “These men are all high-toned Christian men, broke in the prisoner; “and good men, soclally put Corkhill's money "has been too much 161 eane Judge Porter suggested that if this clamor was continued that the court should remove te dock to such a distance from the jury that it would not be annoying. Judge Porter having made quit: Speech, the prisoner remarked: Judge.’ That's very sweet.” ‘MR. SCOVILLE RESENTS IMPUTATIONS. Mr. Scoville said it was unfair for the prosecu- tion in this case to throw out imputations upon the defence that they were unnecessarily prc- longing the trial. He asked the prosecution to be fair and courteous. He said they had been six fe an impressive Do that again, | Weeks trying this case in order that the trial may not be a disgrace to American jurisprudence. The defer@e intended not to be irried with an un- Seemly haste In this matter. When Mr. Scoville sat down the prisoner ap- plauded him, sayiig: “That isa speech.” The Gevernment’s Last Witness. Dr. John P. Gray, of Utica, N. Y., medical super- intendent of the New York State Lunatic Asylum, a position he has held for thirty-one years, was then sworn. As the government’s last witness he was asked the usual preliminary questions as to his experience, the meaning of the term in- sanity, hallucination, delusion, &. He had, he said, never formed or expressed an opinion of the prisoner’s mental condition before the trial. ‘The witness having referred to a change in the mind In insahity, the prisoner said: “that's my case. Ishot the’President on the 2d of July. J | Wouldn't do 1t again for $1,000,000.” THE ABRAHAMIC CLASS. The witness having described In detall the vari- ous recognized forms of Insanity, the prisoner sid: “You are a very learned man, doctor, but you for- got the Abrahamic class. Give us something on that. That is the class to which I belong.” DEPRAVITY NOT INSANITY. Applications, the witness said, had often been made to him to receive as patients persons of very depraved lives, their friends believing that they were insane, As their conéition did not arise from. disease they could not be considered insane. The ‘witness said he had not for many years believed in moral insuntty. The term was intended to signify a condition of perversion of the moral faculties, leaving the intellectual faculties still sound; the witness could not conceive of any moral act with- out intellectual action. He could not dissever the mental unity. No physical sickness could reflect itself through a man’s moral nature only. The fact. that a man was an habitual Har, an habitual cheat, ingrate, &c., would not indicate insanity, but depravity. He knew of no form of insanity among people outside of the asylums which had not been witnessed among the patients inside the asylums, At 12:2 the court took a recess till 1 o'clock. LIVELY SCENES DURING THE RECESS. During the recess there were scenes of great confusion in the court room owing to the desperate struggle of the “outs” to oust the “ins.” Deputy Marshal Williams mounting the railing of the bar, surveyed the tumultuous host and shouted out his orters to the various officers about the room. Some boys, seeking an eligible place, clambered to the top of the little enclosure built ‘around the main entrance.
