broadly sustain the position taken
by the district attorney, that JurlS
dlrtiun Is comDle:e where the ta'al
blow IS struck, without reg ri TO Tie
locality Of actual demise. Tue court
holds that the bullet fired at the
President by Gu.teau the n of July
In this city Nas the cause OF his death
and that the trial could only have
been held in Washington, and that
the death Of Inc Pre- ,i'e!t,n New
Jersey, except rs utfc Ell by local
statutes, could not ch ,n.5e tie Jnris-
diction. Tie assassin had not been
in New jersey, aud had committed
no offense against New Jersey laws,
and the mere fact Of his victim being
removed to Elbepu to prolong hfc
or save it, it possible, could not be
made to effect the character of the
crime. Tue court will hold in ad
ditiOn that there are several grounds
on which jurisdiction as exercised
might be maintained if it were nec-
essary to decide the case: first, that
this IS a United States court with all
powers of any circuit court OF the
Uuited States; secoud. that this Is
judicial district, and that under the
provisions of law when a crime is
begun in one and completed III
another district the offense is com
plete in either; and third, that muir
der being an otf-nse in this district
against the United States, and the
removal of the President to New
Jersey lid not take him beyond
the jurisdiction of the government
against which the Offense was COM
mitted.
Considerable anxiety has been ex-
pressed as 10 the action OF the SUI
ureme court of the United States; it
being announced that application
would be made to that bodv by de
PENDANTS counsel, for writ OF ha-
beas corpus. The only judges re-
manning in the city, court having
adjourned for the term, are Chief
Justice Waite and Justice Miller.
The best legal authorities express
doubts whether such a writ could be
granted by full court in session, and
it is not believed any single judge
will take the responsibility on so i'm
portant question when it is recalled.
It may, therefore, reasonably be
concluded that Guiteau will hang as
sentenced, and that there is no
earthly hope for him.
The Post adds, after delivery of
the opinion, the prisoner will be
taken at once to the solitary cell in
the Jail where he is now confined,
and placed under a continued guard,
better known as the Death watch.
Every action will be observed up to
the fatal moment and not word be
permitted to be spoken to him ex-
cept by bis spiritual advisers, or by
persons specially authorized by the
warden, Croker, who has entire
charge and responsibility for the as
sassin from this time on until the
dead body is ready to be conveyed
to the doctors for post mortem exam
ination. District Attorney COrkhill
has determined upon examination.
