THE VERDICT.
Judge Cox soon afterward took his seat

sound was hushed save the voice of the CLERK
as he pronounced to the foreman the usual
inquiry.
Clear and distinct came the reply, We
have"
'.What is your verdict guilty or not
guilty"
"GuiltS as indicted"
TUMULTUoUs SCENE.
Then the pent-up feelings of the crowd
found expression in uproarious demonstra-
tions of applause and approval.
"Order r' "Orderl' shouted the bsiliff.
Scoville and counsel for the prosecution
were simultaneously upon their feet:
Scoville attempted to address the Court,
but the District Attorney shouted, . Wait
till we have the verdict complete, and in due
form of law"
Order was at length restored, and the
Clerk, again addressing the jury. said ::
I" Your foreman says Guilty as indicted.
So say you all p
"We do. all responded.
Another demonstration OF approval followed
this announcement, but not so prolonged as
the first.
Scoville, still upon his feet, demanded the
poll of the jury, which was granted, and
each juror was called by name, and each in a
firm voice promptly responded, "Guilty.'
As the last name was called the prisoner
shrieked My blood will be upon the heads
of that jury. Don't you forget it"
Scoville again addressed the Court, saying !:
g Your Honor, do not desire to forfeit any
rights may have under the law and practice
in this District. 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 him in print to-
morrow. and he would be accorded all the
time allowl d by law within which to file his
exceptions, and that he would also be entitled
to four days within which to move an arrest
of Judgment.
Guiteau, who. from the moment Judge
Cox began the delivery of his charge, had
dropped completely his air of fippant AFRO
gance and sat with rigid features and com.
pressed lips, called out in tones of despera-
ton. "God will avenge this outrage"
THE JURY THANKED AND DISMISSED.
Judge Cox then turned to the jury and
said Gentlemen OF the jury, l cannot ex-
press too many thanks for the manner in
which you have discharged your duty. You
have richly merited the thanks of your
countrymep, and feel assured that you will
take with you to your homes the approval Of
your conscience. 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 ten weeks, was
ended.
RETURNED TO HIS CELL.
The crowd quickly left the Courtroom. and
the prisoner, gesticulating with his manacled
hands, was led out. AS he passed the report
ers' tables. he leaned over and called out to an
acquaintance 1.-THE Court in bank will re-
verse this business" His appearance was
that of man deeply moved with indignation
at some outrage er indignity which had been
put upon hinr. As he was being pus in the
van. crowd of men and boys yelled and
shouted themselves hoarse in mockery of the
prisoners constant boast that 1.-The Amer
can press and people are all with me-" The
van was quickly driven away. followed till
out of sight by the jeers and yells of the
crowd.
Scoville will probably file a motion
in arrest of judgment and for new trial on
exceptions. The law gives the defendant
four days to file motion and reasons for q
new trial, and it is customary for the Court
to set some day to hear the argument.
Should this motion be overruleo, defendant
will appeal to the general term, and under
the law the defendant is to cause suspen-
sion of sentence till after the next general
term, not exceeding thirty days. The Janu-
ary general term is now in session, and the
case cannot go there, but will be appealahls
TO the April term. It is the custom to coz
tinue the April term until September, taking
recess over July and August; but should
it be closed by the latter part of May, then
if the judgment is affirmed, the execution
might take place in July.
sCovILLE's INTENTIONS.
WASHINGTON, January 25th.-Scoville said
to night that the next move in the Guiteau
case would be motion for a new trial, which
he expects to file Saturday.
WHAT Is THOUGHT OF THE VERDICT.
LAFAYETTE ind J, January 25th.-There is
but one sentiment here-intense qualification
at the news of Guiteau's conviction.
CLEVELAND. January 25th.-The news Of
Guiteau's conviction was received here with
Of the verdict at the Opera House between
the acts was greeted with round after round
of applause.
Boston, January 25th.-The announce
ment OF Guiteau's conviction was made on
the bulletins of this city while many people
were on the streets. They soon gathered in
crowds in front of the newspaper Offices, and
expressions of relief and satisfaction were
heard on all sides.
WASHINGTON, January 25th.-The news
that verdict had been rendered in the Gui-
teau case brought the people out of their
homes tonight, notwithstanding the inclem.
ent weather, and the hotel lobbies were
thronged. Naturally the trial was almost
the only topic of conversation, and SO far as
expressions at places of public resort could
be heard the verdict was universally ap-
proved and the jury highly commended. It
is evident that Mrs. Scoville was entirely
mistaken in her opinion that the people of
Washington were divided into two classes
one believing that the prisoner should be
acquitted on the ground Of Insanity, and the
other desiring his conviction. Ii there are
any who believe Guiteau to be insane, they
are not openly expressing that opinion to-
night. The general conviction is that new
trial will not be granted, and the indications
are that even counsel for the defense do not
indulge in any such hope.
NEw YoRK, January 25th.-People here
are entirely satisfied with the verdict of the
Jury in the case of Guiteau. $50 say we all

over.
CHICAGO, January 25th.-About the streets

cation that the verdict was so sharp and
prompt. There was very little surprise, and
no indication of sympathy for the assassin.
