Jadge Cox and the

NEW York, January 26th-The charge
Judge Cox was thought admirable by several
able lawyers who heard it. 1t is clear, inn
partial and so concise that the jury could
easily both comprehend it and retain it in
their memory. Now that the long trial is
over, it is proper to say tina. its conduct by
Cox has had the approval Of the most emil
nent members of the Bar and of the District
Judges throughout. He has had their advice,
and he has rigidly persevered in the course
they approved against the ignorant
clamor on the part of the press.
1t was necessary to convince the
jury on the question of the prisoners sanity,
and it was necessary to give him fair and
impartial trial. that there should be no ten
able ground for demand for a new trial.
To give the jury the opportunity to deter
nine whether Guiteau was or was not insane,
he was allowed to exhibit himself to them
daily, and his language probably did as much
as all the evidence to settle the question Of
his entire sanity in the jurys minds
The Gaiteau gury.
WASHINGTON. January 26th-Bright, one
of the Jurors, said after the trial that there
had never been moment since the evidence
was complete when the jurors were not ready
to render verdict, and he did not believe
that the arguments of counsel made any i'm
preston, one way or the other, upon the
Jurors. He had not heard of the report that
it had been discovered that one of the Jurors
favored acquittal or verdict of insanity.
Resume Of the Closing Scenes.
WASHINGTON. January 26tb. tb.-Immediately
upon receiving the charge the jury left the
courtroom Is was now almost dark, and
but few persons could see Guitean. He was
anxious for the Court to adjourn. The jury
will return q verdict in an hour, said Baihff
Tall to him. THAT jury will never agree"
renIied Guiteau. lyon had better come to
the Marshal's Office uutil the jury return"
urged Bailiff Tall Thereupon Guiteau asked
the Court to let him go to the office, and he
was conducted there by the officers. Reaching
there, he was pale, nervous and agitated, but
az once began to declare it impossible for
it who knew that he was inspired.
"Why, these men are not going to be gov
erued by your Oneida Com,nueity idea of in
SEPARATION, +" remarked Bai!if Tall. This dis
pleased the prisoner, who earnestly replied:
s'You dou'G know what you are talking
about. There are bigh-toned Christian gen.
tlemen on thas jury, who understand this
case" At the expiration OF three-quarters
of an hour he was told that the jury had
agreed upon verdict Of guilty. A slight
tremor was visible on his face. He
told one Of the officers at once
that he would set new trial, or
else the Court in banc would override all these
proceedings. He was then taken into the
Courtroom Two oil lamps and dozen wax
candles were brought in, as there is no gas IL
that part of the building. The prisoner
passed TO his seat, AID the people arose to OBJ
serve his features. It was already whispered
that the jury had agreed on verdict Of
guilty, and the fact that they were ready
Co make their return confirmed this.
Guiteau entered the room at thirtY-four
minutes past o'clock. The jury came in
Just one minute later, AID took them saats,,
but held thei1 hats in their hands.
The defense within the next four days
must formally file their motion for a new,
trial and and arrest Of judgment.
John Guiteau, the brother OF the criminal,
has no expectation or hope of securing q new
trial, or Of delaying the case stiil further
Reed is to look up some additional points
of law 1t is not probable at all that tho
Cours will grant new trial. as every point
has been carefully guarded
The Jurors were congratulated by q nula-
ber of persons, both before and after leaving
the Courtroom. Although invited by
Deputy Marshal Williams to dine with him,
they declined, several saying, Thank you,
but we viii go homo"
There was no difference of opinion among
the jury from the time the Government
fairly developed its case.
Ole of the jurors, who, it is said, had had
the assassin as sure to be on his side. 1t
turns out that be was one of the first to be
convinced of Guita&u's sanity. Another
member Of the jury said that, so far as he
had known Of the beiisf Of bis associates,
there had been no doubt about the verdict,
he thought, since the testimony Of the Gov
ernment experts was put before them.
He added that all the attempts of Guiteau
to produce the impression on the jury that
there was great public sympathy with him
had failed to irfiuence any man on the jury.
Generally speaking, bis whole condition and
conduct in Court had badly damaged his case
ia the minds of the jury, because it convinced
them that he was sane and playing part.
When the jury retired they asked the fere-
man to read them the indictment. 4 vote
was then taken and stood on the FIRST poll the
whole twelve for conviction.
Guiteau was furnished with an excellent
supper. and although he had said he was
very hungry, yet ne ate spsringly.
Warden Crocker informed him that here
after guard would constantly be stationed
at his cell door.
Warden Crocker said al do not sntici-
pate that the prisoner will make any attempt
at self destruction, but it is our duty to guard
against any possible attempt of the kind.
The prisoner is evidently badly broken up.
I have noticed for the past ten days
that his self-assurance was gradually failing
him, but he has an extraordinary amount of
hopsfulness in his makeup. To the very last
in the terrible drama he will hope for some
thing to turn up and save him from the gall
lows. You can put it down that he fully
comprehends his terrible situation. He
does not pirate about Providence and the
Lords care as he did in the past"
General Crocker made a prediction that the
prisoner would gradually succumb to fear as
the final days draw nigh. He, as well as the
other prison officials, are fairly of the opinion
that The prisoner has been sane man since
he was confided to their care
John w. Guiteau, by accident, was not
present when the verdict was rendered.
Scoville stood in his usual place, to make the
customary announcement regarding excep-
tions. There was 10 human being near the
assassin at this dreadful moment who had any
sympathy for him.
TIE trial of Guiteau lasted just seven days
less than the agony of Garfield.
The Murdered Pre- idenrs Widow.
CLEVELAND, January 26sh.-All through
the trial Mrs. Garfield ard the late Presi-
dents mother have kept their thoughts as
far away from it as possible, reading little If

jury's short celebration was Immediately

said that there was nothing she could say to
the public about it or that she desired to say.
