Washington special says: District Attorney
Corkhill visited the jail to-day, for the first
time in ten days. His visit was in conse-
quence of a notification from Guitteau that
he had an important communication to make
to him. Upon the entrance of the Dis
trict Attorney into his cell, Cult
teau rose and produced a folded |
paper This was found by Mr.. Corkhill |
to be petition drawn up in the hand of the
assassin, and petitioning for his release from |
Jail on bail in the sum of $1,000 Guitteau |
bases his claim for release on bail upon the |
fact that the President is now regarded as out |
of danger and that his physicians concur |
in stating. that there is no probability
whatever of another relapse. The construc- |
ton of the petition shows considerable |
familiarity with the forms and methods of |
law, and the document throughout is drawn |
up with q conciseness and exactness that in |
dicates anything but insanity. Guitteau was |
very anxious that the District Attorney
should take prompt action upon his prayer |
for release, and intimated in the event of |
favorable consideration of the petition |
he would have no difficulty in securing |
bondsmen in the sum indicated. A
queer feature in this matter is how Guitteau
has managed to get information as to the |
favorable condition of the President and |
opinions expressed by his physicians. The |
appearance of the assassin has changed little |
since his commitment to jail. His COM |
plexion has paled somewhat, and he moves
with languor that is slightly different from
the lounging manner noticeable at the time
of his incarceration.
