Judge Cox in reply assured him he
should have every opportunity. that
the charge would be furnished him in
print tomorrow, and he would be ac-
corded all the time accorded by law
within which to file his exceptions, and
that he would also he entitled to four

Gulteau, who from the moment Judge
Cox began delivering his charge. had
dropped completely his air of fippant
arrogance and sat. with rigid features
and compressed lips, called out in tones
of desperation:
GOD WILL AVENGE THIS OUTRAGE"
Judge Cox then turned to the Jury
and said:
Gentlemen of the Jury: | cannot
express too many thanks for the man.
ner In which you have discharged your
duty. You have richly merited the
thanks OF your countrymen, and | feel
assured you will take with you TO your
homes the approval ofyour consciences.
With thanks, gentlemen of the jury,
l DISMISS YOU"
With this announcement the court
was declared adjourned, and the now
famous trial which has absorbed public
interest and attention for more than
ten weeks was ended.
THE CROWD QUICKLY LEFT THE COURT
ROOM,
and the prisoner, gesticulating with his
manacled hands, was led out. As he
passed the reporter s tables, he leaned
and called out to an acquaintance:
"The court in banc will reverse this
business" His appearance was that of
man deeply moved with indignation
at some outrage or indignation which
was put upon him. AS he was being
put into the van, a crowd of men and
boys yelled and shouted themselves
hoarse in mockery of the prisoners
constant boast that 'the American
press and people are all with me-" The
van was quickly driven away, followed
till out of sight by jeers and yells of the
crowd
HE WILL TRY TO GET A NEW TRIAL.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Scoville said
tonight the next move in the Guiteau
case would be a motion for a new trial,
which ne expected to file Saturday.
The main points on which it will be
based are that the jury erred in render
ing verdict contrary to law, and that
they erred in rendering verdict con-
trary to the evidence; that Judge Cox
in mis- charge did not base it upon all
the evidence, and that the jury during
the trial read the newspapers and had
conversation with outside persons.
Should. the motion be denied an
appeal will be taken to the court
en- banc in April Referring to
the verdict, Scoville said after hearing
Judge Cox's charge he was not sur
prised the jury rendered a verdict of
guilty. He RETAINED, however, from
passing a criticism upon Judge Cox s
charge further than to say that he had
not been accustomed to hear q
judge address jury as Judge
Cox did, but simply to submit
written instructions, and this, too,
upon the law bearing upon the
case and not upon the evidence. Judge
Cox, Mr.. Scoville thought, did not re-
view the entire evidence given in the
case, but only portions of it. Guiteau
is said by some to have appeared the
coolest person in the court room at the
time the verdict was announced.
But Scoville believes that when the
excitement attendin. the trial is over,
the excitement which Scoville thinks
has sustained Guiteau all through it, he
will become raving maniac. Scoville
does not talk tonight like man who
thinks his labor in that matter is at an
end. There are good grounds, he says,
for new trial and he proposes to show
this.
THE ASSASSIN SINCE CONVICTION.
WASHINGTON, JAN. 26.-Guiteau in
Jail to day has tried to act in the same
strain as before his trial, and fain would
make the public believe that he is
wholly indifferent as to the outcome,
relying as he says on the court en- banc
to make it all right for him. He has
delivered himself of another, of what
he calls IAN Address to the American
People," beseeching all good christian
men and women to come to his relief
and send or bring him such amounts of
money as they can spare, to help in Sc
curing prominent counsel in the new
trial which he expects to get. That
the role he is trying to play is very
hard indeed, can plainly be noticed, as
occasionally a deeply anxious express
sion would settle over his countenance,
showing the torturing fear that possess
es him that his end is near.
WASHINGTON, Jan. N.-It was said,
tonight, after consultation with able
lawyers, that Guiteau's counsels are
thinking of raising the issue against the
jurisdiction of the District Of Columbia
court, and of applying for writ of
habeas corpus, to bring the assassin be-
fore the district supreme court. The
defense will claim that the court in
Washington had no right to try the
nrisopar bccause his victim died in
