rho New Trial.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3O.-In the
Criminal Court, District Attorney
Corkhill applied to the Court to
fix the day for hearing the argu.
inent upon the motion for q new
trial In the case Of the United
States vs.. 9. J. Guiteau, stating
that he was willing tomorrow

ed the attention of the Court to the
fact that one of the affidavits in
support Of the motion had annexed
to it copy of the Evening Critic.
The allegation was thst during the
progress of the trial the paper had
been read by or to the jury. Four
jurors DEFY that they saw any
newspaper or put their names upon
any newspaper during the time
they were empannelled. This rails.
ed an issue of fact which was very
important to be determined. 1t
was not matter that the Court
could determine on ex parts affida-
Wits. The jury admitted that dur
ing the time they were inpannell-
ed they gave their autographs to s
various persons. and thought it
might be important that they /,
should have an opportunity to :
crOss-examine men In that connec- s
ton to determine whether sigma G
lures upon the newspaper were
genuine. The full name of two of
the jurors were on the paper,
"District Attorney" and one of
them spelled wrong. %he Court
stated he could only ask the par.
ties making affidavits and would
do SC. ScOville said when forgery
was alleged it was a serious mat
ter. The Court suggested that the
jury be present Friday and the
matter went over.
