HE WILL SWING,

The Court Denies Mr.. Reeds Last
Motion in Guftcnu's Case-NOt Dis
heartened, However, Reed Will
Take Another Stcp-A Letter From
Mrs. Dunslirc.
1t was 10 40 when Judges Cartier, Hagner
and James took their seats on the bench In the
Court In General Term this morning, There
was a large attendance OF lawyers present, the
central figures, of course, being Mr.. Reed,
Colonel Corkhill and Mr.. Davidge. After tho
disposition OF some other cases, Judge Cartier
said ain the case Of Guiteau, the Judges who
listened to that case have come to tho con-
clusfon that they have exhausted their powers
upon IT. that they have heard 1t patiently, fully
and fairly, and that reargument would bring
them TO no other conclusion than that which
at az and ,ss acne Srs TO
there was general exodus from tho court
room. .s.
Thus In Just flfty-seven words Judge Cartier
dsposes OF the celebrated case Of the United
States vs.. Charles julius Guiteau.
Mr.. Reed Interviewed.
As soon as Mr., Reed left the courtroom a
reporter of THE CRITIC pounced down upon
him, and asked:
.what was the object of this petition for
rehearing ?"
"The Indictment" said Mr. Reed, contains
ten counts. In some Of them-five, think--it
is alleged that President Garfield died in the
District of Columbia, which allegation is not
true, and Is wholly unsupported by the owl
time, Mr.. Scoyille and myself asked
the defendant not guilty on those counts,
for the reason that no evidence was
offered to support them, Judge Cox refused to
fendant excepted. The jury found general
verdict OF guilty on all the counts, so that the
the record now appears that President Gar
field died in the District OF Columbia and also
In Monmouth County, New Jersey. OF course,
1t is absurd. What desire is to have the
record corrected according to the facts either
nv having tho M qpp tar ract ted
so as to show that IL vas entered upon the
counts in the indictmeht which was supported
by the evidence, or the District-Attorney can
now enter nolle prosequi upon those counts
nunc pro tune.

sWill 1t be in the nature of a habeas corpus?'
"No, no." said the barrister.
"All right" said the reporter who skipped
on In pursuit. of other game, murmurlng as
he went along, 'The picnic at the jail will take
place on the Goth OF June, all the same, Mr..
Reeds motions to tho contrary notwithstand-
ing."
