"GuiltY as Charged. "

The assassin's exhibition at Washing.
inton, which lasted for ~ days of weary
waiting and watching, has at last closed
and the curtain has rang down upon the
trial of the most infamous and heart
less wretch that ever disgraced the an
mails of crime, the world over After a
most protracted trial, beginning Nov
IA, 1881, long drawn out by the inso
lence, egotistical chatter, abusive til
rades and innumerable Interruptions of
the shameless murderer of the Presi-
dent of a great nation, and after tedious
testimony and prolonged argument, the
twelve men who have daily listened to
the monsters revelings. have entered a
just finding that the tragedy of July 2
shall be avenged, and million of peo-
pie hail their verdict. Through all the
misgivings, impatience and criticism of
the people, the jury, true to the impor-
tant trust imposed in them, and the
common sense law and facts in the case
have appeased the wrath of the nation,
honored themselves, and strengthened
the constitutional bulwarks of our
American system. Promptly and Wig
orously they sustained the cool judg-
ment of the people, and are entitled to
the nations thanks. The verdict of this
jury has to all intents and purposes, de
termined that Guiteau must expiate his
enormous crime upon the gallows. The
counsel for the prisoner will argue a
motion for new trial Tomorrow. which
will be promptly overruled. The next
step will be bill of exceptions to the
Supreme Court of the District, composed
of Chief Justice ID. K. Carter, and Asso-
ciate Justices Wylie, Macarthur, Hag-
ner, Cox and James. The strong point
of law that will be presented, and tue
only one upon which the defense can
hang a hope for another trial, is the
claim that the District of Columbia
courts have no jurisdiction, because the
President died in another jurisdiction.
Should the full court overrule the ex-
ceptions, as they are likely to do, their
decision is final, and there the case ends.
