Guiteau, who from the moment Judge
Cox began delivering his charge, had
dropped completely his air of ffippant
arrogance and sat with rigid features
and compressed lips, called out in tones
of desperation:
! 'GoD WILL AvENGE THIS OUTRAGE"
Judge Cox then turned to the Jury
and said:
Gentlemen of the jury: | cannot
express too many thanks for the man.
ner in which you have discharged your
duty. You have richly merited the
thanks OF your countrymen, and / feel
assured you will take with you to your
homes the approval ofyour consciences.
With thanks. gentlemen of the jury,
DISMISS YOU"
With this announcement the court
Was declared adjourned, and the now
famous trial which has absorbed public
interest and attention for more than
ter weeks, was ended.
THE CROWD QUICKLY LEFT THE COURT
ROOM,
and the prisoner, gesticulating with
his manacled hands, was led out. As he
passed the reporters tables, he leaned
and called out to an acquaintance:
The court IN bdnc will reverse this
business" His appearance was that of
man deeply moved with indignation
at some outrage or indignation which
was put upon him. AS he was being
put into the van, crowd of men and
boys yelled and shouted themselves
hoarse in mockery of the prisoners
constant boast that ''the American
press and people are all with me-"
The van was quickly driven away, fol-
lowed till out of sight by jeers and yells
of the crowd.
HE WILL TRY TO GET NEW TRIAL.
Scoville said tonight the next move
in the Guiteau case would be motion
for new trial, which he expected to
file Saturday. The main points on
which it will be based are that the Jury
erred in rendering a verdict contrary to
law, and that they erred in rendering a
verdict contrary to the evidence; that
Judge Cox in his charge did not base it
upon all the evidence, and that the
jury during the trial read the newspa-
pers, and had conversation with outside
persons. Should the motion be denied
an appeal will be taken to the conrt
en- bdnc i'll April. Referring to the yer
dict, Scoville said after hearing Judge
Cox's charge he was not surprised the
jury rendered a verdict of guilty. He
refrained, however, from passing crit
icism upon Judge Cox's charge further
than to say that he had not been ac-
customed to hear judge address
jury as Judge Cox did, but simply to
submit written instructions, and this,
too, upon the law bearing upon the
case and not upon the evidence. Judge
Cox, Mr.. Scoville thought, did not re-
view the entire evidence given in the
case, but only portions of it. Guiteau
is said by some to have appeared the
coolest person in the court room at the
time the verdict was announced. But
Scoville believes that when the excite
ment attending the trial is over, .he
excitement which Scoville thinks has
sustained Guiteau all through it, he
will become a raving maniac. Scoville
does not talk to night like man who
thinks his labor in that matter is at an
eEd. There are good grounds, he says,
for new trial and he proposes to show
this.
AFTER THE TRIAL.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Guiteau has
conducted himself in jail to-day about
as one would imagine, exhibiting all
of the varying phases of his character.
For the greater part of the time he has
expressed confidence in the hope of
new trial, and his absolute acquittal by
another jury-but occasionally deep
ly-anxlous expression would settle over
his countenance, showing the torturing
fear that possesses him that his end is
near.
The opinion in the city is that new
trial will be denied, and that now only
the execution of the law is to be looked
for There is but one opinion as to the
verdict, as / telegraphed you last even
ing, and that is of hearty endorsement.
There is nothing specially new or of
interest to the reader to telegraph.
The people act as If the reaction from
the terrible strain had thoroughly set
in, and they are consequently rather
quiet.
The prisoner has issued another "ad-
dress to the American people," solicit
ing aid from "all good christians" to
enable him to secure counsel in the
new trial which he extects to get.
IN JAIL.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Scoviile and
Warden Crccker had discussion at
the jail, yesterday, as to the propriety
of allowing Guiteau's address to go out.
Scoville at first opposed it, but finally
yielded in this instance, but said that
so long as the papers will print Gui-
teau's creeds he fancies he has the ear
of the press that he is superior to his
counsel, and can manage the case en-.
tirely in his own way, while as a mat
ter of fact he is indebted to his own ut
terances for yesterdays verdict. War
den Crocker suggested: If you will not
supply him with any more stationery, l
will not, so that he does no more writing.
1t was finally settled between the coun-
sci and warden, that for the next week
no one shall be permitted to interview
the prisoner, and that no communica-
ton shall go to the public.
MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-This after
noon Scoville filed with the clerk of
the supreme court of the district of
Columbia papers on which ne bases his
motion or motions for a new trial.
Not being familiar with the practice In
this district, Scoville took the precautiou
to file two motions to assure himself
against the possibility of being de-
prived through any legal technicality
of the right of review by the court In
the general term. The papers fled In
support of the motions are, the pris-
oner's affidavit, the affidavit of Fred
erick H. Snyder as to the finding of
newspaper In the room occupied by the
| jury under circumstances indicating
that it had been read by the jury. The
! affidavit OF j. w. Guiteau, that he is
acquainted with the signatures Of FIVE
! jurors whose names are written on the
margin of the newspaper said to
have been seen by the jury. That
he has seen them write their
names and believes the witing upon
