WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-=Dstrict Attorney
Corkhill, referring to the report of the intend-
ed attack on the Jail, said to-day il is nousensi
cal and exaggerated; II would take 1000 men
one week to accomplish Gaiteau's removal.
Scenes around the Jail indicate that an on
slaught would not be surprising before to-mor-
row. No additional guards have been ordered
and but three guards from the battery are on
duty. This morning they have been stationed
at more distant points leading toward the
roadway by which the approach TO the Jail is
made, so that in a case of demonstration other
military aid can be Immediately brought into
use. motley gathering Is noticed at differ
ent points at a short distance from the Jail
talking in subdued tones, and all along the
roadway leading from the city 10 the Jail small
groups of persons we're noticed approaching
the Jail. The guards do not anticipate any
demonstration before night 1t is probable
that additional troops will be ordered out this
evening, as it is supposed some organizations
for the purpose of lynching Giteau will ar
rive by incoming trains. ThIs evening Ward
en- Croker manifested considerable alarm at
seeing the gathering OF men on the hillside.
The warden lett to visit Gaiieau's cell and
after absence of about fifteen minutes said:
"When 1 entered the cell, after the usual
morning greeting, Guiteau asked, How is the
President?' | replied, L did not know. L
answered him thus in order 10 find out if he
had gained knowledge of his death. Guteau
replied, You ought to know; have you not
read the morning papers?' said | had, but
could not rely on various statements III the pa
pers. He then said he had felt very anxious
about the President the past few days and
feared he was nearing his end. then in
formed him, watching his expression careful
ly, that the President was dead He instantly
sank down on the bed and appeared very much
agitated. After remaining in this position
few moments he arose and paced the floor
lnutter1ng something TO himself as II praying.
He then inquired at what time he had died,
and being informed, said he was glad the Pres
ident at last had been relieved of his suffer-
ings. as he would not have committed the deed
II he had known he was TO sutfer as he did.
Gulteau did not appear so nervous and alarmed
as supposed he would when The news was
broken TO him, and do not think he knew
the President was dead until | SO informed
Kim. AT least he said he did not. He does
not manifest any increased fear this morning,
but has been in constant dread all along tat
he would be dealt with by a mob and earnestly
prays we will protect him.'
New Jersey Abandon their Claim to
Gulteau.
