On tho 21st, the crowd about the
court house was very large, perhaps
three times greater than it was Sat
urday, aud it was with the greatest
difficulty that those entitled to it
could obtain admission to the court
room. This morning Guiteau ar
rived uuder tho escort of three
mounted policemen iu addition to
two officers ou the van. Immediate
ly upon the openiug of court Robin
son, one of Guiteau's counsel, asked
tho court to bo relieved from taking
any further part in the case, basing
his request upon tho ground of a
disagreement between Mr. Scoville
and himsolf in tho conduct of the
case. Judge Cox granted the re
quest. Drs. Woodward aud Lamb wero
then examined, and testified to the
character of the wound, that it was
a mortal one. Thoy also identified
the ball which was exhibited to the
jury as tho one they had taken from
the body of President Garfield.
Hera the prosecution rested their
case, and Guiteau was allowed per
mission to bo heard in opening his
defense. After some other romarks,
he said he did not caro to say more
than was published in his address
on Monday, the 21st inst., to the
public. He presumed the jury all
saw it. He thought the true way
was to interject bin statements as the
case proceeded. Ho said he had no
set speech to make, but would say,
however, in regard to malpractice,
that at certain times tho doctors said
that the wound was not fatal and
that he wbb out of danger, and that
therefore if it was fatal afterwards,
that tho doctors were to blamo. This
much I want to have shown.
Mr. Scoville, iu opeuiug tho case
on the part of ttio defense, did so at
considerable length, in an able, calm
and appropriate manuer, claimiug
that he expected the defenso would
erect an impregnable wall and fort
ress which all tho power of tho other
side could not shake. If ho came
short in this, he know ho could rely
confidently on tho court's learning,
integrity and seuse of justice. With
out concluding, Mr. Scoville re
quested the court to allow him to
finish his address tho next day. This
was granted, and the court ad
journed. On the morning of tho 22d, Mr.
Scovillo proceeded with the contin
uation of his argumont relative to
tho question of the insanity of the
prisoner, citing a variety of instances
which he regarded iu point. Iu con
nection with this subject he entered
into a detailed history of his life,
showing his peculiar traits aud sin
gular conduct, all of which he pre
sented in a logical and able manner,
notwithstanding tho mauy interrup
tions of tho prisoner.
It was 3 p. in., and Mr. Scoville
being interrupted by tho counsel on
the other side, said he could finish
in the course of an hour or two, and
on motion of Mr. Corkhill tho court
adjourned.
The crowd yelled and hissed as
tho prisoner was led to the van, and
some ono phouted"Kill him," but he
was safely locked in and returned to
the jail.
On the morning of tho 23d, a storm
was prevailing, but tho criminal
court convened and the room was
crowded, as usual. Mr. Scoville
began the proceedings by calling
upon Col. Corkhill for the papers
taken from the prisoner at tho time
of arrest. Tho counsel for tho pros
ecution will hand over the papers.
At this point Mr. Scoville resum
ed his opening address to tho jury
which was presented in the same
calm and able manner as his pre
vious addre8se8,delineating facts and
circumstances connected with the
life of the prisoner to show his men
tal character, concluding with the
utterance of tho following declara
tion : "The verdict ho wanted was,
'not responsible because insano;'"
tho responsibility then rested upon
the political system of spoils, and on
both parties alike, and the verdict
would bo a rebuke to this great evil.
Tho jury would not tako into con
sideration the president's sufferings
wero uot to try the case on emo
tions. The prisoner was unfortu
nate, and tho jury must say whether
he must bo sent to the gallows be
cause ho was unfortunate.
At this point tho rule separating
tho witnesses on the part of tho de
fenso was enforced except as to Mrs.
Scoville who was permitted to re
main iu tho court room, and then
the examination of witnesses was
begun for the defense. During the
day quite a number of witnesses
wore examined, principally confined
to the mental condition of the pris
oner. On the 24th court did not convene,
and tho prisoner was confined in his
coll during tho day.
Under instructions from Marshal
Henry, tho jury in tho Guiteau case,
