wanted to quote Tyner on Brady. Tyner did not give his consent. It afterwards appeared in the columns of 8 leading | newspaper without consulting him. Tyner says that at the commencement of James' term he offered his services freely, and as his resignation was based upon the conditions that no charge existed for neglect of duty he claims that the acceptance of it is an admis- sion that his duty was well performed or at least not neglected, and asked what then becomes of the statement apparently inspired | by the department that the Postmas- ter General could not prosecute his ssre- 1 forms" unless Tyner was out of the road. 1 He is willing to rest his case upon any delib- | crate statement the Postmaster General will himself make. He has not joined in the sweeping charges of corruption against everybody who happened to have labored to secure an increase of service on the Star routes, nor approved of the plan of trying l men on criminal charges in the newspapers before 8 court of competent jurisdiction had passed on their cases yet he has not inter fered with those who are engaged in the in- vestigation nor disregarded or lmpeded them He has attended to his own business, and if detectives and others around the Postmaster General had done likewise this statement would have been unnecessary. Guiteau's Trial Postponed-A Decision as to Witness Fees-Additional Counsel in the Case.
 WASHINGTON, Oct 26.-Tn the Criminal Court this morning, Messrs. Scoville and Robinson, counsel for Guiteau, made an ap- plieation for the postponement of the trial of their client, and after hearing arguments pro and con the court stated that, under all the circumstances in the case, he would postpone the trial from November to November 14. MT. Scoville in his argument said that in his opinion the court had jurisdiction over the case, and intimated that he would not raise any question on that point The extension of time was solely to suit the convenience of the assassin's counsel. In the three weeks now left they have plenty to do but Judge Cox says the trial must positively begin No vember IA. The question of paying witness es for the defense is brought nearer settle ment by Judge Lawrence's decision that such witnesses expenses will have to be paid by the government if the witnesses are within 8 radius of one hundred miles of the jurisdic- ton of the court trying him. These expenses are to be paid upon the marshal presenting his accounts therefor. Outside this radius the decision is that the expenses cannot be paid by the government This, it is thought l will materially decrease the number of wit l nesses. District Attorney Corkhil has re- ceived dispatch from Judge J. K. Porter, of New York; saying that he will assist the gov ernment counsel in the prosecution of Gui- | teau.
 CHICAGO, Oct. 26-A. S. Trude, well known criminal lawyer of this city, has con sented to take charge of Guiteau's case. The l letter written by Scoville making the request l is as follows
