National Associated 1'rutw , AN INTKUVIKW WITH HIM HOW HK LOOKH. WASHINGTON , November 12.The following special dispatch was sent to the Now York Evening Post this after noon : "I was allowed a short talk with Guiteau in his cell. Ho was lying on the cot , and cam a to the door with his hands under his head in a reflective mood. When ho 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 ho felt this gloomy weather , ho said ho was enjoying good health. "Do you feel prepared for the trial ? " "Yes , I am ready tohavo | it coiuo oiF on Monday. " Ho then asked if I was a member of the newspaper fraternity. On learn ing that I was he handed mo a note which he had written for the public which the warden subsequently took , as is done with all his correspondence and.manifestos. Its purport was that with the permission of the court ho intended to deliver "a graphic speech , setting forth his defense. " Ho made the announcement thus in order that the prominent gentlemen interested in the caap might hoar it. Owing to the prevailing wet weather his cell was damp. Iu appearance ho has improved somewhat since the indictment , but is a repulsive looking object and his manner very disagreeable. After I loft the jail a carriage containing Messrs. Scovillo and Robin son , his counsels drove up. No spe * cial precautions have been adopted up to this time by Marshal Henry with a view to the safety of the prisoner in transit to and from the jail. Thu au thorities say they have no apprehen sions of violence. For the lirst few days ho may bo moro closely guarded than subsequently. In case all goes well , ho will probably bo brought to the court-room in a carriage as was the case when ho answered the indict ment. He fools less fear now than heretofore , although ho has still some doubts and yesterday sent a note to a detective to have him see that proper arrangements were niado to secure safe conduct between the jail and court-room. PIIHI'AKATIONS FOR THIS TKIAL. The platform which has been erected in the criminal court for the accom modation of the spectators of the Guitoau trial will furnish seats for about 500 , who must have tickets from proper ofticers. The trial begins ut 10 a. in. Monday. Judge Cox presides. . Judge Porter , Col. Corkhill and Mr. Davidgo , who are counsel for the gov ernment , express themselves thorough ly prepared. They have boon in close onsultation most of the day and ivoning , but decline to say anything kbout the line of prosecution further ihun that they will first legal ly establish tlio death , cauao ; md general roaponaibility of the if igout , leaving the details of insanity a juoationfor robuttal. Mosira. Scovillo md Robinson find It of no uio to con- mlt with their client at present. Clioy will make insanity the solo rround of defense , all the witnosios m lubpmneaod being for the support of G1 : hat theory. On the question of the ury Scovillo saya : "Wo cannot ox- tu oct to find jurors who have not 'ormod or expressed an opinion on the 01 wiu , and aa far aa I am concerned will to lot try to get such jurors. It ought ta lot to take moro than two dara to got tii jury. " Ho thinka the trial will last fu least a month and probably nearer BU hreo .months. One hundred wit- III leases are on the list made out by the Oil liitrict attorney. The defense have aa iUminonod about seventy-five. Quos- th ions of law will arise which will be mvo ( o bo argued and will th irolong the trial , llo has not given of ip all hope of asainUnco from other au awyors. Triulo , of Chicago , may yet isflint. The trial cannot get far ad- i" rancod in a week or oo and by that hi imo Trudo's business maj permit hi.i th loming , Scovil'o ia in conatant ro- dc eipt of letters from different parts of tu be country from persons offering to an urro on the jury. The writers think th that became it is A United Statoa couil they can aorvo. llo received two let ters to-day from people in this city saying that they will servo impartially and they will give reference . Ajso a postal card from n friend in Chicago fmying that ho has boon around to jjet some men to "chip in" to help the do- fensa and closing by nayiiiR that while ho was willing o help the defense ho hoped Guiloau would bo hung. That is vho kind of men Scovillo says ho would not have on the [ jury Robin son declines to talk to the press on the mtbjuct of the trial but it is understood that while ho expects to put the most work on the insanity plea , ho waives no log , l point or right that may be < o the advantage of his client , and is prepared , if necessary , to go into the question of jurisdiction , ni well as malpractice. Among other things , it ia known that the defense intend to place on record the direct responses of experts on insanity to the allegation that Gnitean is of unsound mind. They propose to show that hia father was not a person of well bal anced intellect ; that he had two un cles , his father's brothers , who died insane , and two aunts , his father's sisters , who also died insane , lioth of these aunts had insane children. The assassin's brother and sister will both bo examined on this point. OUITKAU atinwjNn ANXIOUS. Warden Crocker reports Gnilean nn apparently growing anxioiu for the day of trial. To-day he repeatedly requested to know whether hia sister had arrived. Mrs. Scovillo lias boon ill since her arrival , but expects to visit tbo prisoner to-morrow , in com pany with her husband and her brother , who arrived to-day. WASHINGTON , Novembei lit. All the arrangements for tbo trial of Ginteau which begins to-morrow have been completed and counsel on both sides profess to bo ready to proceed without Any delay. The court officials have made adequate accommodations for the press. No person will bo allowed in the court who can't be seated and an oxtr.i number of chairs upon n raised platform have been placed in position. McDonald , superintcndontof Ward's Islam ! , New York Insane asylum who was summoned by the govern ment as an expert on insanity , Mas closeted to-day for several hours with Guiteau at the jail. Ho talked with him on all subjects with n view of finding out the bent of bis mind Guiteau talked freely on all subjects broached and showed no disposition to refuse answering any question. Ho did not in thu least appear excited. Mr. McDonald refused to yiyo any opinion as to his mental condition at this time , but from what is gathered ho will bo the most important witness for the government on the point when the trial comes up. QUITKAU'S KHLATIVES CALL ON HIM. At 10 o'clock Scovillo and his wife and sister and brother to the prisoner and the niece of Guitoau , about eight years of ago , the daughter of Scoville , called at the jail. Guiteau was brought from the cell into the warden's oflico and there for throe hours remained alone with hia family. The interview is represented by Scovillo aa most af fecting. Mr. John W. Guiteau had not seen his brother for two years and Mra. Scovillo for throe yonra. Gui teau talked about the crime for which ho was under arrest quite freely. Ho said ho would to-morrow , in the open ing of the court , niako what ho termed a ' 'racy and essential speech , " aolting forth thu motive that prompted the deed. Ho upbraided the name ot l President Arthur , ox > Senator Conk- ling and Gen. Grant who ho said 11J I41l V U4I ValaU , TV UV/i 4AU t3 ( IUa had neglected him in his confinement. Ho discussed at length the line of de fense , and said he was not insane , but had been comnitsaionod by God to do what ho had done. "Tho tinio will como , " remarked tbo prisoner , with a deal of emphasis , accompanied by gestures , "whon the name of Gui toau will bo sounded with praise in stead of being denounced. " The . prisoner then donned a now suit of block clothes bought by his brother , and strutted around before them with ns much pride as a boy who has just taken off his swadling clothes and ai donned his first pair of pants , Ho si then piloted the party around HI the jail , showing them the culls in a which ho had boon confined. Ho conversed - n versed all the time and Haid ho had H been allowed free access to the corrin lors. Ho took pleasure in showing n the cell he occupied when Sergeant it Mason fired tbo shot at him , pointing II [ nit the spot where the ball struck and issumcd the position he was in at the .irno , The party , after remaining lomu three hours , left , the prisoner ' iccompanying it an far as tbo inner . loor. To-night Judge Porter , of Now hi fork , W. A. Davidge , of Washington , stHi md Attorney Corkhill hold it confer- Hi inco of several hours at the parlor or sthi Fudge Per or In Willard's hotel. All hi ho points in the case were carefully til i one over and much sworn testimony 1" witnesses for the government who VIW rill testify at the trial and which has W leen taken from tinio to time , was ute oad. Counsel refuse to tmy what to ourso will bo pursued by the prosoou- lx > ion , but it ia known that thu govern he ; ment will boat the plea of Insanity aet IK p by tfio defense and cliarga that on iiiiteau wo * of Bound mind and ac- th untod by a desire for revenge. la The report that Elihn Hoot , of Ihicai < o , would succeed Dlstrict-At- ut uniey Corkhill and proceed at once to nn rvko charge of Guitoau's trial , is nar- in i ially confirmed. Ho is here , but re * th uaoa to talk to the press upon the to ubect. Ho will probably qualify to ve Kt morrow. Corkhill , who bus had hargo of the case so far , will , it is th M bo retained no as special counsel , lius giving the government the COmi enefit of his mi knowledge , HO lint being out < > { the c.iso flicially ho will not interfere with its ucccssful pronccution , It ban honn th pen the question of whether or noLu thC < ury would bo had to try Gnitean , Wf ut court ofllcmln are of the opinion tal hat ono can bo inipaunolled .without cy olay , and to that end a panel of cywl wenty-four men ban boon Bummoned wlM nd will be on hand at the opening of to ho court. Under the local ui ; law the fact of man hav ing o\proNied an opinion docs not disqualify him as v juror if ho enn wo r that ho will render a just ver dict on the evidence adduced. From this leniency of tlio law it h brlicved that a jury can bo had in a day or two. To prevent any possible delay in this direction a deputy innrshal will bo stationed at several police stations R ( tnoy can , when the panel is oxhaimtei' ' , go upon the street and summon nn > citizen wanted and lake hinuo court. It is thqught thnt this will accomplish the desired result. Guito.ui will bo in convoyed from the jtiil in a police van , a largo commodious vehicle of iron. It is drawo by two homes and can bo readily handled in case of nny attnck upon it. The prisoner , in such an event , could conceal himself in the bottom and would bo perfectly secure from small lire arms. No such assault , however , is anticipated , but every precaution ha * been taken. A pqmul of policemen will uccomp.my the van to court and return by forinini * a hol low sqnato and then pr.uitioilly cover ing the van from view. At court the prisoner will occupy a box in charge of Marah.d Henry or Deputy Marshal \Villimun. No ono bo allowed ID approach thu box during llio tri.il. The utmost undo.ivor.s of tlio olllcers will bo culled into requisi tion to preserve/ order , and anyone act ing in a boisterous manner will be ojt'Oted. Orders to this ull'oct have been issued and will be impartially obeyed. The trial will bo befoio .ludj.'o Cox who is one of lhemo.it learned judges on thu local bench , llo in of old family and born here. His attainments in l.iw pointed him out to the picsidont , who , upon ( ho recommendation of the district bir ; , appointed him. "In knowledge of local laws he i ? , perhaps , tbo first judvo on the bench , and the trial will certainly be fair to both'side * .

One ofjtho president's most intimate friends stated to-day thai ; there would be no change ? in the cabinet before December unless , indeed , in the case of tbo attorney-generalship.

The fact that , lloo was in consultation with-Fudgo Portoi to-day adds weight to the announce ment , as the president J'H known t < have said that he doiired Judge Per lor to have nioro capable assistance ii the Guiteau trial. A POUTIIKIIH UAN I'OU Till CAHINkT. The republicans of the south are itill urging the president to appoint i louthcrn man in thu cabinet.
