The Panel of Jurors Exhaunsted—-A New Panel Ordered. Natlonal Associated Press. WasuiNaToN, November 14.— Soon after daylight this morning a great crowd began to gather about thoe dis- trict court house, all anxious to get a glimpse of the assassin Guiteau, whose trial was to begin at 10a. m. For hours they waited. At length the court room doors were opened, As many as could be accommodated with scats were admitted and the others stood near by in hopeless anxiety. The prisoner was brought down from the jail this time in the policevan, but 80 quietly that scarcely any one but the ofticers knew it. Every seat in the court room was filled except four and all available standing room. The audience was composed for the most part of members of the District bar, witnesses and members of the press. Not more than half a dozen ladies had gained admission to the court room. Next to the three or four vacant seats referred to sat Lawyer Scoville, his wife, whois Guitsau's sister, Guiteau’s brother and Lawyer Robinson, his chief counsel. At 10:05 a. m. there was a rushé near the northwest en- trance, snd the marshal entered, followed by two oflicers, between whom was the prisoner. Guiteau was dressed in a suit of dark clothes which his brother presented yesterday. He took a seat by his sister, Mr. Robin- son on the other side, the officers sat behind him, and one of them leaning over unfastened the cuffs ftom Gui- teau’s wrist. The prisoner then shook hands with his brother and sister, handed the latter a small pamphlet and package of paper, and then arranged the articles on the table beforo him rather as if he had been counsel then accused. He appeared much more collected than when first arraigned and had nothing of the frightened look that marked him at that time. When all was quiet Mr. Robinson addressed the court asking for more time before the trial. He said he had reason to know that ho could get needed assistance as counsel before long and that he had some wit- nessess who could not get thore be- fore December 1st. He was willing to give the court the names of said withesses. As Mr. Robinson sat down Guiteau arose and said, ‘‘if your honor please, I desire to address the court,” His manner was calm and business like. Poople roze to their feet all over the room, but there was no dis- turbance. He went on: “I did not and cellar, noar White Lead 8, §1600.

Mr. Robinson renewed his application. Mr. Scoville claimed that the near relatives of the prisoner should at least know who was expected to como for the defense. Guiteau again interrupted, “We don't want Robinson, anyway. This is peremptory and he must go.” Mr. Scoville went on: “If wo have timeenough we could got counsol, and plenty without mon but if the court is going to give us time, and at the samoe timo assign counsel don't agreo with it.” With this Gui- tean jumped up again, rapping the tables with his knuckles. Ho said, “Mr, Scoville is next to me in this case. L intend to do this business myself. Robinson is not wanted.” The ofticers turned to keop him quiet, but ho told them to mind their own business. He was in_tho presence of the court, and would talk when ho felt like it. Col. Corkhill asked the court to try to keop the prisoner quiot, whereupon Guiteau sat down sayimng he would do whatever the court wished him, After that ho was comparatively quiet. Judge Cox then said he was incianed to give the defonse a little more time. Ho intends that the prisoner shall have at least o fair trial, but he thought it would perhaps be better to allow the case to proceed 80 far as the selection of a jury, leav- ing it for counsel to arrange for hun a tuture continuance, and for addi- tional counsel Mr. Scovllle saic it should be understood that he should not even question o jury until he know ctly who was to be asso ciated with him and Mr. Robinson in the defense. The court said no oue couldbeassigned without Mr, Scoville's consent. Mr. Scovillo and Mr. Rob- inson both expressed themseclves os satisfied with this arrangement, and the jury panel thon taken up. The court explained that it was a wrong interpretation of the law to de- mand on such a jury only those per- sons who had formed an opinion Tho only absolutely disqualified por- opinion_that could not be changed any evidence whatever. The first four of the jury panel stated distinctly and finally that they had opinions which no evidence could change and they were speedily ex- cused. 'The fifth seemed all right until asked 1f he had any scruples as to capital punishmoat. He smiled as he answered in the aflirmative and seemed glad to get out of it. The sixth thought he could give a verdict in ac- cordance with the evidence, although he had repeatedly said he should hang the prisoner. This man was in the hardware business. Mr. Scoville said the juror was not wanted. The next man was a mechanic. He had no opinion not very decided though he Sco- could give a fair verdict. Mr. ville asked as to his politics and r: ion. Judge Porter, of the prosecution, objected. Mr. Scoville said he de- sired to know something of the jurors’ conmscience before knowing whether he might exercise the right to a peremptory challenge.

He was willing to let that question rest until he could present authorities. This man was William P. O'Donnell, and in his case the defense made thoeir first peremptory challenge. The eighth was excused because he held firmly to the opinion formed shortly after the shooting. The ninth man was John Hamlin, a well known res- tauranter of Washington. Heanswered all questions satisfactorily, some as to whether he held to any infidel belief. John A, Vandusen seemed qualified unlees in that he had a sort of preju- dice against insanity. On thisground the defense ordered their third per- emptory challenge. Hiram Trimble the next man or the panel said he never allowed himself to be intluenced by newspapers. He investigated things for himself and was satisfied that Guiteau did the shoot- ingbut as not to whether he was guilty of murder. Col. Corkhill said he was too much of an investigator for this trial and he was excused. This exbausted the panel. An order was issued for a new panel of 7O citizens, At this point Guiteau arose and stated that he should like to make a speech to-morrow morning, The court told him he would be given a chance to be heard in his own de- fense, Guiteau—‘‘But that must’ go in now your honor, as it must influence public opinion.” The Court—*¢ are here for.” Col.

Besr SAciNAw, Mich.,, November 14.—At the little town of Zilwaukee yesterday o battery of ten boilers in the brick boiler house attached to the saw mill and salt block of Hamilton, McClure & Co., six miles below this city, exploded with great forco, scat- tering the buildings like chaff and causing immense destruction. Eight of the boilers were torn in shreds and pieces flew in every direction, one boiler head dropping nine hundrel feet distant. Not a brick of the hoil er house was left standing. The large brick chimney, one hundred fect high, was completely leveled to the ground. The west end of the large steam mill was torn to piccos and the entire structure wreck- ed and demolished. ‘The large stean doms was lifted high in the air and court would insist on the prisoner kecping still. Guiteau—*“Never, Colonel I know my business and I hope you do yours.” He was finally quioted by the ofticers but he managed to get his written speech 1nto tho hands of a reporter who started for the door. Mr, the paper was not given out with the Mv. Robingon swmiled at this and asked Guiteau to sit down. The prisoner said, “You keep still,” but he did sit down, muttering as he did so, *‘We are ready to go ahead now.” Col. Corkhill said he saw no reason why the timo should be extended. Mr. Robinson made an aflidavit that th> soleground on which he asked delay was in order to get the necessary wit- nesses and counsel. He said he was practically alone in the case and There was devol- bped an cvident split botween Messrs, Scoville and Robinson. Mr Scoville, addressing the court, said that Mr. tobinson's application was made without his knowledge, which was certainly o strango proceeding, since he had not even seen the aftidavit nor heard what counsel hoped to get. For his part he was ready to go on with the trial. He know he was incompe- tent to go ahead without assistance to bo ablo to procced. Even now ho hoped to bo of somo assistance to Mr. Robinson, but if he was to 2o on in this wuy he (Scoville) should with- draw. Here Guitcau jumped to his fest and said in an excited mauner: *I endorse overy word he £ays, **Robinson came into this caso without consulting me and I don’t like the way he talks. 1 order him 16th and Dougl as Ftreet BUE OVIUUNCY LEBL.

He says that the Deity scems disposed to favor the shooting of (iarfield, and he will continueto do so until the end. Insanity seems to run in his family, The word ‘*‘agsassin” grates upon his mind, yet people delight in using 1t. Ho concludes as follows “To-day 1 sufler in bonds as a pa- triot.

Bricks and timbers wero found half a mile from the mill. The salt block was badly wrecked by the explosgion, timbers and iron being driven through it. A salt drill-house 200 feot distant was struck by a piecs of boiler that shattered thoe tower. Another smashed in one side of the voof. 1t is impossible to give an idea of the tremendous force of the oxplosion and destruc- tion that followed. The beilers wero fired at night to supply steam for the saw mill, and the firemen at the works were all killed, not one escap- ing to tell the story. Michael Lebeau, head fireman of the hoiler house, was buried in the debris and his body was dug out an hour after the oxplosion occurred. Both legs weae broken be- low the knee and the body badly bruised. Joseph Lebeau, brother of the tirst mentioned, was found thirty feot distant, his right arm crushed and tho abdomen badly bruised, moen were 38 and 22 yoa of age respectively, and resided at Zilwaukee, They came from Montreal two ago and havo relatives living in I8 ada, Frank Blanchard was blown into the bayou two hundred foot distant.

J. Howard Wells, of No. 367 Fifth avenuo, was arrestod and passod the night at police headquarters. The story, which has few parallels in the history of crime in this city, opened October 7, when a lctter threaten- sent Mr. ing nssassination was Gould through the editor of The Wall Streot News. They have continued almost daily since that date. Dotectives finally spotted the author of the lotters as he was leaving a mail box, having first deposited a lotter to Gould. Col. J.
