nuO yob OUuS0 OOX SIaG6m00G or the case was so terribly powerful against him that many people believed that the jury would be out but few moments. Onceor twice Guiteau offered some triv. ial comments, but they were unnoticed by the Judge and almost unheard by the people in the court room. It did not escape notice of members of the bar who heard the charge that in some re- spects Judge Cox had been fairer toward the prisoner even than his counsel had asked him to be, while on the other hand he had brushed away as insignifi- cant and of no consequence some of the points which the prosecution had dwelt upon with seemingly the greatest conf- dence.
 Soon after 5 o'clock, and while dusk was becoming darkness ln the court room, the jury took the case into its own | hands.
 Thirty minutes later the jury made it's appearance in court again. Guiteau sat in his place like block of stone, his figure being just revealed by the dim light. The youthful clerk stood up in his place facing the jury. The silence in the court room was pain ful.
 "Gentlemen of the jury" said the clerk in cold, perfunctory tone of off cial duty, "have you agreed upon your verdict?''
 "We have," responded the foreman, in low, almost indistinct tone.
 "What say you? Is the prisoner at the bar guilty or not guilty ?'
 "Guilty, as indicted" responded the foreman.
 Then the pent up feelings of the crowd found expression in uproarious de- monstrations of applause and approval.
 "Order order p shouted the bailiff
 MT. Scoville and counsel for the prosecution were simultaneously upon their feet. MT. Scoville attempted to address the Court, but the District Attorney shouted:
 "Wait till you have the verdict com- plete and in due form of law"
 Order was at length restored, and the clerk, again addressing the jury said:
 "Your foreman says Guilty as in- dicted.' So say you all?
 We do" they all responded.
 Another demonstration of approval followed his announcement, but not so prolonged as the first.
 MT. Scoville, still upon his feet, de- manded poll of the jury, which was granted, and each juror was called by name, and each in firm voice prom ptly responded, "Guilty."
 As the last name was called the pris- oner screamed:
 "The vengeance of the Almighty God will be upon you for this outrage. My blood will be upon the heads of that iuru nonS% vo,1 fornof i% O
 He was at once quieted and silenced by the guards, nor did he seem disposed to say anything more. He did not, however, show any signs of breaking down, but when the guards came to put the handcuffs on him, seemed the same man that he has been since the trial began.
 MT. Scoville again addressed the Court, saying: "Your Honor, I do not desire to forfeit any rights I may have under the law and practice in this Dis trict. If there is anything that ought to do now to save those rights would be indebted to your Honor to indicate it to me-"
 Judge Cox in reply assured him that he should have every opportunity, that the charge would be furnished to him in print morrow, and that he would be aceo, de1 all the time allowed by law within which to file his exceptions, and that he would also be entitled to four days within which to move in arrest of ldgment.
 "Judge Cox then turned to the jury and said /: Gentleman of the jury-I cannot express too many thanks for the in which you have discharged your duty. Yo1yhave richly merited the thanks of your countrymen, and I feel assured you will take with you to your homes the approval of your con- sciences. With thanks, gentlemen of the jury, dismiss you."
 With this announcement the court | was declared adjourned.
 The crowd quickly left the court room, and the prisoner, gesticulating with his hands, was led out. As he passed the reporters tables he leaned | over and called out to an acquaintance:
 "The court in banc will rever SC this business"
 His appearance was that of man deeply moved with indignation at some outrage or indignity which had been put upon him. As he was being put in the van the crowd of men and boys lpon the pavement yelled and shouted hoarse in mookery of the prisoners constant boast, "The Ameri- ,an press and people are all with me-" The van was quickly driven away, till it was out of sight by the eers and yells of the crowd.
 When Guiteau reached the jail he eemed to have recovered his spirits, if, indeed, he ever really lost them. He Ite readily, and seemed to be sustained y the idea that the Almighty would till protect him. At the same time he aid:
 "If it is Gods will that should 90 o the gallows, am ready but my anne will go laundering down the ges."
