The death of the wife of juror Hobbs,
one of the jurors in the Guiteau case, and
the adjournment of the court to allow the
juror to render his last sad duties to his
wife, has created a disquieting impression.
1t is held by some attorneys that it may
eventuate in new trial for Guiteau, as if
a verdict of guilty is rendered it may be
claimed that during his absence the juror
was influenced and the court be thus in
duced, out of an abundant caution against
the possibility of hanging man not men
tally responsible, to grant new trial, On
the other hand it is claimed that as the ju-
ror was excused by express agreement of
all the parties, and no exception noted in
behalf of the defendant, he cannot come
in, in the event of conviction, and claim
new trial.
