An Effort to Postpone the Trial Still Fur
Their
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-On the opening of
the Criminal Couat this morning motion was
made by Leigh Robinson, counsel in tho Gui-
teau case, for the delivery to the property
clerk of the District of certain papers, &c,
belonging to the prisoner. He specified let
ters written by Guiteau at the time or near
the time of the arrest, newspaper soaps, the
letter found in the possession OF Byron An
drews, and other communications from the
prisoner. He desired them to be in the hands
of the properly clerk where counsel for the de-
fence could have access to them. The District
Attorney stated that these things were not
property but evidence of crime and therefore
belonged to him.
The court said he would examine the stat
utes and make such order as might appear nee
essary but it seemed to him that the counsel
for the defence should have access to the pa
pers. At all events he thought the property
clerk had nothing to do with them.
Robinson also applied for still more time to
prepare for the trial and stated the difficulties
In the way of the defense being ready the l4th
inst Among other things he stated that it
had only to be known that person was to De-
come a witness for the prisoner for a clamor TO
be raised against him, and generally for the
person himself in manner very disgraceful
to him to have a letter published in order to
set himself in the community. The court said
he would consider the suggestion as to post
ponng the trial still further and would give it
due weight.
Robinson also stated that he had been mis-
represented in Washington papers on the last
occasion the he was before the court as saying
that he agreed with Scoville On the gu estion OF
jurisdiction. He had simply stated that he
was not to be considered as committed on
question which he had not examined. he did
not consider himself precluded by anything
said by Scoville at any time on any branch OF
the defense from availing himself at the time
of any defense that might seem to him proper
and that it might be in his power to make.
The court said that was perfectly understood
bv the court, and that the District Attorney
for the prosecution SO understood it.

No Confederate Money in the Bank of

LONDON. Nov, 3.-The Times, in its financial
article this morning, says:-"We are able to
state that the Bank Of England does not hold
a penny available for the payment OF Confed-

buying bonds intrinsically worthless on the
faith Of such rumors.
The st. James Gazette demonstrates the
hollowness of the claim of holders of Confed-
crate bonds and the futility OF endeavoring to
exercise pressure on Southern States by the
means which have been resorted to with indif-
ferent success in the cases of Turkey and Peru.

counsel has been retained to press the claims
of Confederate boudholders to sum in the
