Col. COrkhfll then read the Affidavits
of each member of the jury ill which
they most positively denied ever having
seen or rea 81 copy af the Critic or any

as Jurors upon the trial of Guiieau
Following these was read the affidavit
Of Norman Wearl tn the effect that he
HAD known Snyder for fifteen years and
TO his knowledge said Snyder is a thief,
forger and blackmailer and that he

Corkhill reid the affidavits of John

Synder alleges to have taken the copy of

The affiant did not purchase Critic dur
ing the trial or have one in his room
that the only persons that attracted the
suspicion of the bailiffs or jury
were +. II. Snyder. Mr. ScoVille
and j. II. Hayden. These parties passed
the room on several occasions
without having any ostensible
business and were objects Of suspicion 10
both the bailitfs and jurymen. The az

when Sydney swOre he found the Critic
in the bailiffs room he (Curtiss) was
there and the jurors werc-alsO in their
rooms and that it was impossible for
Snyder to have taken IL CrItIc from his
room unless he had first placed it there.
The affidavit of A r Srarie, another
bailIf in charge of the jury was then
read. 1t was of the same tenor as the
preceding one.

THE GUITEAU CASE.
The Arguments Presented In the Crimi
nal Court on the Motion for
New Trial.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-When Judge
Cox entered court this morning the
prisoner was brought in and placed in
the dock. Before taking his seat
Guiteau looked over to his counsel and
said in a quiet and rather pleading tone
"Can sit at that table, if your honor
pleases"
Judge Cox-"If there is no objection
from the counsel"
Guiteau-"Have you any objection,
Colonel Corkhill?''
Corkhill-"No, sir"
The prisoner then took his seat at the
table by the side of Scoville, and, taking
out of ais coat pocket roll of manu-.
script, addressed tue court in the appar.
ent belief and with the air of the princi.
pal counsel in the case, as follows:
"If the court please, before this motion
is made desire to correct few errors
that have crept in" -
At this point he was stopped by the
court.
Col. Corkhill objected 10 any remarks
from the prisoner, and Scoville also OBJ
jected and thought anything of the kind
had better be postponed until the bust
ness before the court was disposed Of
Scoville continued: "If your honoI
| please, / have contemplated that some
additional time should be given for thi;

| prominent member of this bar that hs
will assist me next week

ScovilIe declined to give the name a

court. Scoville then desired to make 1

stated, were first, unauthorized con

Philadelphia have been stirring up the
question of Sunday and Monday news
papers. They have passed resolutions
10 the effect that no papers ought to be
published on Sunday, and that those

made up chiefly on Saturday, with such
news as comes in between midnight and
daybreak on Monday morning. The
Philadelphia Methodist is very severe ON
Sunday newspapers and positively re-
fuses to patronize them, extending its
refusal not only to the Sunday issSes,
but tn the week day issues of those pa
