To see if he is drunk. Or it could be because most people who are harmful have bad hand righting.
Atticus asks Mr. Ewell to write his name to show the court his dominant hand, as he is trying to prove that Mr. Ewell could have been the one to harm his daughter, Mayella. This questioning helps to establish doubt about Mr. Ewell's credibility and the events surrounding the case.
Atticus was showing the Ewell was left handed and that he could have beaten Mayella.
Atticus asks Mr. Tate if he sent for a doctor when he arrived at the Ewell house, to which Mr. Tate replies 'No'. Atticus then asks Mr. Ewell why he didn't call a doctor, to which Mr. Ewell hesitates and does not provide a clear answer, indicating their lack of concern for Mayella's condition.
Atticus had Mr. Ewell write his name to show that he was left-handed. The girl was beaten by someone who lead with his/her left hand. Tom Robinson could not even use his left hand, therefore he could not have beaten her; just proving further that the trail was a farce. Atticus was trying to suggest that it was Mr. Ewell who beat Mayella, not Tom--Mr. Ewell was left-handed, and Tom couldn't even use his left-hand. Atticus then proceeds to question Mayella about her home life*, further driving his point home.

Mr.Ewell's said, "One down two more to go," and Jem told Scout if she told Atticus then he would never speak to her again. Jem was copying how his father reacted when Bob Ewell spat at him - by not reacting at all. Also he didn't want Scout to tell Atticus because he didn't want his father to become angry or to realise that Scout was scared of Bob Ewell. They also didn't want to scare Atticus with his comments, and Jem thought that they were probably just empty threats.
That Mr. Ewell is left handed. The reasoning being that Mayella's(the victim's) right eye was a black eye. She could only have gained this black eye if the person who threw the punch led with their left hand(since that person would have been facing her). Atticus was creating reasonable doubt that it could not have been Tom Robinson who hit her because he could not use his left hand at all.
Atticus Finch asked the sheriff to smarten up, and just shoot the neighbourhood dog which was had mad dog disease. During the trial, he asked "was a doctor called?'
Atticus wants Mr.Ewell to sign the envelope to see which hand was his best meaning that he could have possibly beat his daughter.
