= CHANGE IN HIS APPEARANCE-S0ME OF THE LET
TIERS RECEIVED AT THE JAIL
Guiteau appears to have lost some flesh during
the past three or four weeks, and the color ne then
had is fading from his cheeks. Having within
few weeks allowed his beard to grow, his appear
ance is somewhat CHANGED Just now he speJos
TO put his entire dependence on Mr.. Reed, his
counsel, and he seems TO be confident that Mr..
Reed viii succeed in securing a respite, and per
Reed, ne is Teticent 10 what the next move Will
be. He never mentions the name OF Scoville and
SEEMS to have dismissed his relatives from his
mind.
EVIDENCES OF PUBLIC FEELING.
Ju1ging from the remarks made by visitors to
the Jail, and the tenor OF the letters and cards
which come to the prisoner, the feeling against
him appears TO be on the increase or rather to he
becoming intensified. 1t IS so apparent from the
remarks made that IL would not be safe to admit
visitors TO GGiteau's cell; that Gen. Croker and
MS officers state that even II he were awaiting
trtti they would for the prisoners protection pre-
vent him from receiving visitors. A day or two
ago two gentlemen of high standing from New
York were visiting prisoner In the jail. It was
suggested that perhaps they would like to see
Gu!tAau. when one OF them instantly replied, 'sNo,
indeed; could not trust myself and unless You
want the job ended i had better not get my eyes
upon him." Another party who was very desir-
Gus OF seeing him offered so for the privilege and
also 500 for the privilege Of pulling the rope.
COMFORTING LETTERS.
II would seem that in the case OF Guiteau the
postal law against sending scurrilous matter
through the mails has been suspended by common
consent Daily there quantities OF letters and
postal cards of this kind received for him There
are comparatively few letters, his correspondence
being almost altogether by postal card, and about
nine out OF ten have some soothing reference TO
the scanOld, he'll. satan, &c. One received day or
TWO ago contained q pyramid formed OF the names
OF Dfabolus Judas Iscariot. Benedict Arnold.
Aaron Burr. Jef Davis, Wilkes Booth. surmountei
by that OF Guiteau, with the figure OF man hang
ing from beam at the top, and two serpents craw-
words "Gathered To his fathers" Such communal
cations are never delivered to Guiteau
DISTRICT ATTORNEY CoRKHTLI,
speaking OF the Guiteau case TO a STAR reporter
to-day, said there was but one move which Mr.
Reed could make before the courts and that was
e apply for writ OF habeas corpus He said that
no court could grant writ De tW.attco taQiIe1ado
as had been suggested might be done.
