GUITEAU.
The AffidaVits SubmIGted-ScOviIIe
Asks for More Time and Begins His
Argument for q New Trial.

WASHINGTON, February 9.-When Guiteau
was brought into court TO- day he requested
permission to sit at the counsel table, and,
Colonel Corkhill not objecting, the court
allowed him to do so. He commenced to
address the court, but was stopped by
Judge Cox.
Mr.. Scovllle asked for more time, stating
that prominent members of the bar had
promised to assist him next week. He also
desired to make q new motion relative to
additional grounds that he had discovered
for asking for new trial. These grounds
were unauthorized conversations with the
jury by outside parties, and second, the
subsequent admissions OF an expert that he
thought Guiteau insane but did not dare say
so for fear that it would iDjure him in his
business and the public estimation.
Mr.. Scoville read an affidavit sworn and
subscribed to by himself, setting forth in
detail the grounds stated. He had not pre-
pared formal motion, but presumed it
would be sufficient If he should do so dur
ing the day.
Col. Corkhill said the time for filing such
motion and afidavits had expired. The
matter should be postponed until the mo-
tion before the court was disposed of.
Mr.. Scov1lle then read the afhdavits and
other papers filed by him with his motion
for new trial.
Col. Corkhill said he would prove the sig
natures base forgeries, and read the atfida-
Wits of members of the jury denying that
they had bought or seen the
Cflttc or any other paper
during the trial. He also read afidavits to
show Snyder to be forger, thief and un-
worthy OF belief. He submitted the affida-
Wits without argument.
The Judge said he would render his de-
cision tomorrow, and would now hear ar
gument.
Mr.. Scovllle then proceeded to argue in
support of his motion for new trial.
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Scoyille's re-
marks Judge Cox toUk all the papers in the
case under advisement until tomorrow.
The jury were requested to be in attend
ance tomorrow, which was looked upon by
some as an intimation that the court may
accede to Scoville's request.

Charles F. Adams, a watchman at the
Winchester Arms Factory in New Ha-
ven, died on December Goth. Not long
before his death he showed an acquaint-
ance a mOney-belt which he said con-
tanned $4,000. Consequently much sur
prise was felt when a search of his effects
brought to light only about $40. The
people at whose house he died were sus-
pected of having the missing money.
Adams clothes, after his death, were
taken to the undertaker's, and the ad-
ministrator of the estate went to the
establishment to appraise the garments,
preparatory to selling them by auction.
An overc0at had been valued, and was
about to be laid aside. when a dirty piece
of cloth dropped from one of the pock-
cts, wrapped around a large cartridge
shell, which, on being opened, disclosed
a roll of bills that counted up 81 800,
there being one 81 600 note, one Of $500,
and three of 500 each. A mere chance
prevented the whole from being thrown
into the rubbish barrel.

LONDON, February 3-The Paris cores
pondent of the Times vouches for the fol-
lowing: "On handing to M. De FreYcinet the
portfolio of Prime Minister Gambeta, said
he deemed it necessary to communicate
his views on three points. Firstly, a

treaty adjusted to the real interests of
France as much as to those. of England.
Secondly, he had instructed NJ. Roustan to
study the means of giving Tunis an organi.
zation, embracing the administration of
financial, judicial and military matters
in the spirit of what had been
done in Algeria. He had intended
carrying this out as speedily as pos

at his disposal, protected by the presence of
special troops to be created for French pro-
tectors. Thirdly, he reminded De Frey
cinet that England had accepted the project
of an armed intervention in the event of
Egypt's falling into anarchy.

LIVERPOOL, February 3 "A leading grain
circular says: /: "The grain trade during the
week has been very quiet. On spot prices
were with difficulty maintained, and there
was an occasional slight decline in the in
ferior grades of wheat. Some cargoes off
coast were rather dearer. Buyers were re-
served, awaiting arrivals. Corn on the spot
was scarce and a penny dearer. In to oday's
market wheat was in moderate demand.
Choice qualities of red and white, on ac-
count OF the scarcity of other kinds,
brought about the previous rates. Flour
was in average request. Corn was rather
dearer."
