NO MORE OF eUITEAU's APPEALS"
A Washington dispatch says: SEQ
vile and Warden Crocker had a dis
cussion at the Jail yesterday as to the
propriety of allowing Guiteau's address
to 60 out. Scoville at first opposed,
but finally yielded in this instance. He
said so long as the papers will print
Guiteau's screeds he fancies he has the
ear of the press; and that he is superior
to his counsel and can manage his case
entirely in his own way, while as a
matter of fact he is indebted to his own
utterances for yesterdays verdict. War
den Crocker suggested: eff you will
not supply him with any more station
cry, | will see that he does no more
writing" 1t was finally settled be-
tween counsel and the warden that for
the next week no one shall be permit
ted to interview the prisoner, and that
no communication shall 60 to the pub
lie.
A Chicago dispatch says: Mrs. Sco-
vile, who has kept herself alOof from
reporters since the Lews of the cOnclu-
sion of the Guiteau trial, was asked
last night if there was any truth in the
story that her husband was about to
apply for a divorce on the ground of
insanity. She expressed great surprise
and Indignantly repudiated the sugges-
tiOn as ridiculous and untrue. She
showed this dispatch:
WASHINGTON, January 20.
Mrs. Frances Scoville, Chicago:
Have written fully. Nothing new. Remain
quietly at home. Imperative.
GEO. SCOvILLE.
He put imperative" in because he
feared that she would start east upon
receiving the news from her brother,
j. w. Guiteau, that the verdict was
guilty. 1t could not be otherwise un-
der the judges charge. She did not
think the verdict settled anything, but
it was providential, for it probably
saved Charles from mob. Next time
the case is tried the result will be diff
ferent.
GUITEAU's EXCEPTIONS.
Seville bases his motive for new
trial on the ground, that the indict-
ment consists Of different counts, and
the verdict does not say on which of
the counts it was founded; that the
trial OF the case was not concluded in
the same term in which it commenced;
that the court had no jurisdiction in
the case because the death occurred out
side the district; that the court erred in
Overruling the prayers and questions
of the counsel for defence, refusing to
instruct, and in admitting improper
evidence on the part of the prosecution;
that the court erred in commenting
improperly during the trial on the con-
duct of the defendent; on account of
the misbehavior of the jury in reading
or having read to them the news papers
calculated to prejudice their minds; by
reason of new and material facts come
to light since the trial; because the
verdict is contrary to the evidence, and
also contrary to the law.
eUITEAU's BODY.
A scheme is ON foot for the exhibi-
ti0n of Guiteau's remains, and it seems
that some of his own relatives are
parties to it. J. H. Ridgeway, of
Philadelphia has received tue follow
ing despatch:
WARRINGTON, Jan. 80, 1881.
Yours OF the 28th inst. received. The
relatives are inclined to regard your
proposition favorably. In case of the
death the brain will have to be re-
moved for post mortem examination.
(Signed) GEO. SCovILLE
ScOville, in explanation, says it will
be next to impossible to save the body
from the body y-snatchers, and it may
thus be made to subserve some worthy
object. Mrs. ScOville refuses to enter
tain such proposition, and says she
has refused $4,000 cash order for it.
If he dies she will have post mOrtem
examination by experts of her own
selection. Mr.. Reed says the PROPOSE
tion to publicly exhibit the body is
mOnstrous, and an outrage upon COM
mon decency. He says such thing
would not be allowed; that person
seeking to make The exhibition would
be liable to arrest and punishment as a
public nuisance.
Lawyers outside of the case the gov
ernment will have authority over the
body. The supposition is that the body
will be delivered to the family, if they
request it.
