HIS LAST HOPE.

4A ~ t.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5--In the Guitcau
case, Judge Cox is preparing his rulings
upon the law points. Dayidge will be
ready to morrow morning to proceed with
the opening argument, but il is thought
an adjournment win be taken until Mon
day The prayers of the defense have
been subjected to general discussion
among lawyers, particularly the twelfth.
which sets 70 rth: If the jury shall believe
from the first that the prisoner was of
sound mind, or not so insane as to be ir
responsible for the act at the time of the
shooting of the President, July second,
and that he then unlawfully and
wilfully, but without malice in fact in
July shot at and thereby injured the
President, of which shooting and injury
the person SO injured subsequently died
in the state of New Jersey, and within the
United States, the prisoner is fguilty of
the crime of manslaughter. and the jury
shsuld so find" This is looked upon as
the last resort. The defense claim that as
the shooting occurred in the District of
Columbia, and death took place in New
Jersey, the crime is manslaughter, as de-
fined in section 5,347 of the United States
Statutes at Large. This section reads as
follows:
Every person within any place, or upon
any waters described in section $3.50, un-
lawfully and wilifully, but without malice,
strikes, stabs, wounds, or shoots at, or
otherwise Injuries another, of which strik-
ing, stabbing, wounding, shooting, or other
injuries, such other person dies, either on
land or sea, within or without the United
States, is guilty of the crime OF man.
slaughter.
As the absence of malice must be shown
to remove Guiteau's crime from the mur-
der class, it is not believed Judge Cox can
rule fayorably upon this prayer.

THEATRE INSPECTION.

CHICAGO, Jan. THE report of the
committee of the citizens association, who
haFe been inspecting the city theatres since
the Vienna disaster, is a lengthy document,
and reviews in detail each theatre and pub
lie hall The substance of the report is
that the theatres and halls are now gener-
ally in a far better condition than they
were at the last inspection, and those rer
constructed and newly erected since then,
show a decided improvement.
The report says, however, that in no
public building here is there fire proof
separation between the stage and audience
The necessity of municipal officer whose
sole duty it shall be to enforce the ordinan-
ces bearing upon theatres and public halls
The report also says that Mr.. McVicker
has remedied the defects to which his at
tention was called. Mr. Haverly declined
to admit the committee on their rounds of
inspection, but the committee have been
informed that several improvements have
been made, At Haverley's new theatre
they find spacious openings and as much
chance for egress as circumstances win
permit The committee regard the Grand
Opera House as undoubtedly one of the
safest houses thus far observed.
