After'the indictment hat b dur.read.Guitenu skcd to bo allowe < to make a statoinunt , but Judge Cox Baid Hfwould bo' out of 'ploco. Gin term's counsel then entered a plea o not guilty. ' District Attorney Cork hill asked that the trial bu sot 'dowt fornextMonday. Mr. Scovillo , counse for defonso.8aid B fair.irial coulll mo bo had ifit , occurred next week. He should-neod al leasi thirty days to . nccessary-witnesaes for tlie defense. Ho elaimed , the right to get the same number of witnesses for- the dufeusr that the government had , (44) ( ) , and that the state should pay for thorn. He wanted a number of witnesses in the 'first place to prove Guitoau's insanity. He expected to provo by exports and long life acquaintances that the defendant V was of an imtano lineage and was irresponsible at the time of the act al leged. He also expected to provo by Dra. Hammond , , Sim's and others that the wound alleged to have boon in- wan not necessarily fatal , but made BO by malpractice. Ho also desired time to get counsel to as eist him. Colonel /jorkhill argued that the c-inrtTiad no HghTto promise to pay the expenses of any experts or other witnesses than to pr6ve the alleged insanity. Ho said the gov ernment was willing to attord all. just righto for the defense , but had no right to order summoned wit nesses beyond a radius of one hun dred miles. The district attorney said ho desired the court to definitely de termine the day of the trial and make it as soon us possible. Hu also asked that tlio question of jurisdiction bo argued before the day of trial. Then followed a long discussion of what was tailed by the dufenso a legal right of a penniless defense to have witnesses biimmonod. Justice Cox said hu fully appreciated the cir cumstances of thu defense , and ho thought that tlr ; time most , convenient for all partio3 would bo on Monday , the 7th of November , and that day was fixed. It was decided that the question ol jurisdiction should bo argued October 30th. George Scovillo , attorney for Gui tcau , his brother-in-law , then asked for'timo to obtain proof of insanity. Ho presented afliduritH , , in which he gavu the linu of tlio defense which ho said would lbo. mainly two , insanity and modioal malpractice , ' , lfi'hoAlatter jWas unexpected and made somewhat of a sensation. Ho desired , thirty days delay and an opportunity to call the same number nf witnesses as the government On the question of in- canity ho proposed .to call among otherd tlio following witnessesFrench Uromloy and FrancisScovillo should toitify that Fivthor Guitenu , 'tho father of the prisoner , was H monomaniac on the subject of religion Homo yous ; Eyorcttl'ox , Do ver Mius. , who saw the shooting und heard Guitoiu use words which show ed uniristnblu insanity. On the sub ject cf malpractice ho proposed to bunimon Urn. Hammond and Sims- of Now Yoik , and Drs. Andrew and Gnnn , of Chicago. Mr. Scovillo , on behalf of Gniteau , plodded with thu , xc > urt for moru limo and for money 'or expemu'Q under the federal statute to obtuin testimony. His linu of de fense , hpivuvor , IH to ho somewhat dif ferent from what has bcon expected mid from what in fact ho has himself stated heretofore. * He had said be fore , for instance , that hu should only plead insanity , but now ho indi cates that ho shall also attempt to defeat on the ground of malpractice. Ho also proposes to test the question of jurisdiction. Mr. Kcovillo'ntdppcd this plea to hold a conforunco with Guiteau. Thu latter talked with him 'iu ' u most rational may'ner , District Attorney rkliilJ opposed thu delay asked for by Gui- teau's counsel and mid the -Jaw was voiy liberal with persons charged with erimo , so liberal us too often to defeat - feat the ends nf jualicu.
