National Associated Pross, AN INTERVIEW WITH LOOKS, WasiiNeroN, November 12.—The following special dispatch was sent to the New York Evening Post thisafter- noon; ‘I was allowed a short talk with Guiteau in his cell. He was lying on the cot, and came to the door with his hands under his head in a reflective mood. When he saw the visitors he arose from the cot and pushed his feet into the slippers which were by the bedside. In answer as to how he felt this gloomy weather, he said he was enjoying good health. **Do you feel prepared for the trial?” “‘Yes, I am ready tojhave it ccme off on Monday.” He then asked if I was a member of the newspaper fraternity. On learn- ing that I was he handed me a note which he had written for the public which the warden subsequently took, a8 is done with all his correspondence and manifestos. Its purport was that with the permission of the court he intended to deliver ‘‘a graphic speech, sotting forth his defense.” He made the announcement thus in order that the prominent gentlemen interested in the case might hear it. Owing to tho prevailing wet weather his cell was damp. In appoarance he has impreved somewhat since the indictment, but is a repulsive looking object and his mannor very disagreeable. After I left the jal & carriage containing Messrs. Scoville and Robin- son, his counsels drove up. No spe- cial precautions have been adopted up to this time by Marshal Hoenry with a view to the safety of the prisoner in transit to and from the jail. The au- thorities ssy they haye no apprehon- sions of violence. For the first few days he may be more closely guarded than subsequently. In case all goes well, he will probably be brought to the court-room 1n a carriage a8 was the case when he answered the indict- ment. He feels less fear now than heretofore, although he has still some doubts and yesterday sent a note to a detective to have him see that proper arrangements were made to sccure safe conduct between the jail and court-room, HIM —HOW HE PREPARATIONS FOR THE TRIAL, The platform which has been erected in the criminal court for the accom- modation of the spectators of the Guiteau trial will furnish seats for 10 a. m. Monday. Judge Cox presides. Judge Porter, Col. Corkhill and Mr. Davidge, who are counsel for the gov- ernment, express themselves thorough- ly prepared. They have been in close consultation most of the day and evening, but decline to say anything about the line of prosecution further than that they will first legal- ly ostablish the death, ecause and general responsibility of the agent, leaving tho details of ins m, a queation for rebuttal. Messrs. Scoville and Robinson find it of no use to con- sult with their client at present. They will make insanity the sole ground of defonse, all the witnesses subpmneaed being for the support of that theory. On the question of the jury Scovillo says: ‘“We cannot ex- wet to find jurors who have not lormed or expressed an opinfon on the case, and as far as I am concerned will not try to get such jurors. It ought not to take more than two days to get s jury.” He thinks the trial will last at least a month and probably nearer three months. One hundred wit- nesses are on the list made out by the district attorney. The defense have summoned about seventy-five. Ques- tions of law will arise which will have to be argued and will prolong the trial. He has not given up all hope of nssistance from other lawyers. Trude, of Chicago, may yet assist, The trial cannot get far ad- vanced in a week or so and by that time Trude's business may permit his coming, Scoville is in constant re- ceipt of letters from different parts of the country from persons offering to I‘ werve on the jury. The writers think | that bocause it isa United States court they can serve. He received two let- and they will give reference . saying that he has been around to get yiug hoped Guitgau would be hung. That is the kind of men Scoville says ho would not have on the jjury Robin- on tho subject of the trial but plea, he waives no legal point or right client, and is prepared, if necossary, to go into the question of jurisdiction, as well as malpractice. things, it is kaown that the defen: intend to place on record the direct of theso aunts had insane children, The assassin’s brother and sister will both bo examined on this point. GUITEAU GROWING ANXIOUS, apparently growing anxious for th dayof trial. To-day he repeatediy Scovillo has been , but had arrived. Mrs, ill sinco her arriv visit tho prisoner to-morrow, in eom- sides profess to be ready to proced without any delay. The court o upon 2 raised platform have been placed in position. MecDor Tsland, New York Insanc asylum who was summoned by the govern- ment as an expert on insanity, was closeted to-day for several with Guiteau at the jail. He tulked with him on all subjects with a view of finding out the bent of his mind Guiteau talked freely on all subjects broached and showed no disposition to refuse answering any que: He did not in the least appear excited, Mr. McDonald refused to give any opinion as to his mental condition at this time, but from what is gathered he will be the most important witness for the government on the point when the trial comes up. GUITEAU'S RELATIVES CALL ON HIM. yoars of age, the daughter of Scoville, is represented by Scoville as most af- fecting. Mr. John W. Guiteau had not seen his brother for two years and Mrs. Scoville for three years. Gui- teau talked about the crime for which he was under arrest quite frecly. Ho said he would to-morrow, in the open- ing of the court, make what ho termed a ‘‘racy and essential speech,” setting forth the wotive that prompted the deed. He upbraided the name of President Arthur, ex-Senator Conk- ling and Gen. Grant, who, he said, had neglected him in his conftinement. He discussed at length the line of do- fense, and said he was not insane, but had been commissioned by God to do what he had done. “The timo will come,” remarked the prisoner, with a good deal of emphasis, accompanied by gestures, ““when the name of Gui- teau will be sounded with praise in- stead of being denounced.” The prisoner then donned a new suit of black clothes bought by his brother, aud strutted around before them with as much pride as a hoy who has just taken off his swadling clothes and donned his first pair of pants, Ho then piloted the party around the jail, showing them the cells in which he had been confined. He con- versed all the time and said he had been allowed froo access to the corri- dors, Hoe took pleasure in showing the cell he occupied wheu Sergeant Mason fired tho shot at him, pointing out the spot whore the ball struck and assumed the position he was in at the time. The party, after remaining somo three honrs, left, the prisoner accompanying it as far as the inner door. To-night Judge Porter, of New York, W. A. Davidge, of Washington, and Attorney Corkhill held a confer- ence of several hours at the parlor or Judge Porier in Willard's hotel. All the points in the case were carefully gone over and much sworn testimony of witnesses for the government who will testify at the trial and which hasg been taken from time to timo, was read. Counsel refuse to msy what course will be pursued by the prosecu- tion, but it is known that tho govorn- ment will beat the plea of insanity set up by tne defense and charge that Guiteau was of sound mind and ac- tuated by a desire for rovenge, The roport that Elihu Root, of Ohicago, would succeed District-At- torney Corkhill and proceed at ones to tako charge of Guiteau's trial, is var- tially confirmed. He is hero, but ro- fuses to talk to tho press upon the subect. He will probably qualify v morrow, Corkhill, who has had charge of the caso so far, will, it is sald bo retained as special counsel, thus giving the govermment the benefit of his knowledge, 5o that being out of the case officially Lo will not interfero with its successful prosecution. Tt has hean upon the question of whether or nota iury would be had to try Guiteau, but court oflicials are of the opinion that ono can bo impasnelled . without delay, sud to that euda panel of twenty-four men has been summoned and will be ou hand at the opening of the court, Under the local ters to-day from peoplo in this city saying that they will serve impartially Also a postal oard from & friend in Chicago some meh to “‘chip in’ to help the do- fenss and elosing by saying that while he was willing to help the defense he son declines to talk to the press 1t is understood that while he expects to put the most work on the insanity that may bo 1o the advantago of his Among othor Warden Crocker reports Guitean as requested to know whether hie sister expeets to Guiteau which begins to-motrow lave been completed and counscl on both als seated and an extra number of chairs d, superintendentof Ward's Bours | v, At 10 o'clock Scoville and his wifo | of and sister and brother to the prisoner and the niece of Guiteau, about eight called at the jail.
