Guiteau Once Hors.
 | WASHINGTON, January 30. - In the Criminal Court District Attorney Cork hill applied to the Court 10 fix day for hearing arguments upon the motion for a new trial in the case of the United States against c. J. Gmteau, stating he was willing that tomorrow should be assigned. Scoville called the attention of the Court to the fact that one of the afiidavits n support of the motion had annexed to it copy of the Evening Critic. The allegation was that during the progress of the trial that paper had been read by the jury. Four jurors de- ny that they saw any newspapers or put their names upon any newspaper during the time they were impanelled. This | raised an issue of fact which was very | important to be determined. It was not 1 a matter that the Court could determine on ex parte aflidarits. The jury admit ted that during the time they were im- panelled they gave their autographs to various persons and thought it might be | important that he should have the op- | pOrtunity to cross-examine them in that connection to determine whether the signatures upon the newspaper were genuine. The full names of two of the jurors were on the paper. The District Attorney said one of them was spelled wrong.

The general impression with those who have examin- ed the matter that it is a clever forgery.
