WHAT SNYDER saw.
WASHINGTON, January 2S,h.-The affidavit
which Frederick Fl. Snyder offers, sets forth
that.he was at the National Hotel during
portion of the month Of December, and occu-
pied room near those occupied by the jury
IN the Guiteau case. On one occasion he saw
the door OF one Of the rooms 80 occupied
standing open, but with no person therein,
and on the table Of said room was news
paper ; and knowing it was forbidden the Jury
to have newspapers, he (Sayder) slipped in
and took the paper, which he found was a
copy of the Evening Critic, containing an &C.
count of the attempt of Jones to shoot Gut
teau, and an editorial denouncing the prison.
or. On the margins were either the names
or initials of five of the Jurors. In the interest
of jus.ics he took the paper to Scoville.
Attached to this affidavit and copy of the
Critic alluded to, with the names of the Jurors
mentioned written in ink upon the margins,
is an affidavit of Scoville to the effect that
he believes the names of the jurors were writ
ten on the margins of the paper described in
Snyder's affidavit by the jurors themselves.
The main reliance of the defense is the
affidavit Of Snyder and the copy Of the Critic
appended to il. A careful comparison of the
writing on the margin of the newspaper with
the signatures Ct the jurymen whose names
appear there, shows striking resemblance,
and establishes strong case OF circumstan-
tial evidence. The District Attorney, how
ever. asserts that this matter of tampering
with, and the irregular or improper conduct
on the part of the jury, as set forth In Sny-
der's affidavit, will be disposed of in short
order by the prosecution. The jury them
selves are quite indignant.
