SCOvILLE Is VERY MUCH
DEPRESSED.
Nc SAYS THERE Is LITTLE DOUBT BUT cuI
TEAu WILL ss HANGED.


WASHINGTON, Jan. N.-Gu1teAu SAID 10
: reporter yesterday: "You can say to the
American people that / have not given up
hope. I will go the Court in Banc, and l
am satisfied the Judges will give me a fair
show for my life. That Court viii I'M
donbtedly consider the question Of iuris-
diction, aud that is the point / rely on for
a new trial. I have just received . letter
from . very eminent lawyer in Baltimore,
Judge Atkinson, who has kindly yolun-
teered to appear in my behalf before the
Court in Banc and argue the question OF
jurisdiction. l understand he Is thor
oughly posted on the subject. / wrote to
him to come to my assistance"
''Do you have any fears hat you viii die
on the scaffold 2" asked the reporter.
Il en- in the hands Of the Lord" re-
piled the prisoner, land l have no appre-
tensions. Life is but . temporary state.
Ii is appointed to all men once to die. and
no man will die before his appointed time.
No MIA can say to-day that he will be
alive tomorrow"
81 do not anticipate" said Warden
Crocker to the reporter, shat the prisoner
will make any attempt at se~lf-destruction,
but it is my duty TO guard against any pos
sible attempt Of the kind. The prisoner
il evidently badly broken up; in fact, /
have noticed for the past ten days that his
self-assurance was gradually failing him,
but he has an extraordinary amount Of
hopefulness. and to the very last act in the
terrible drama he will continue to hopefor
something"
Seoville was very much depressed. The
reaction resulting from the conclusion Of
the case in which he has played so i'm
portant a part was plainly perceptible in
his careworn face. He said: II will
make an argument for q new trial on Sat
urday, but | have little hope Of its being
granted. The Judges TO whom we must
appeal are prejudicsd by public sentiment
against the prisoner. and there IL not much
doubt but thai Guiteau will be hanged. l
will be assisted in the argument for q new
trial by Mr.. Merrick. who will speak on
the question Of jurisdiction. We will
mention that the Court erred in its charge
to the jury, by making statements which
never should have been made to the jury.
We will allege that the jury were tempered
with, and / can prove that they had access
10 newspapers. Another point in favor OF
q new trial Is that the Court declined to
receive certain national testimony for the
defense, and received improper evidence
for the prosecutions; also, that new evil
dence for the defense has been obtained
that was not admitted at the first trial"
