the jury.
After the charge Of Judge Cox. and
after the jury had been out about twenty
minutes, . recess vas taken until 6:30'
p. II.

ing that they were ready with their YER
dict. They were informed that . recess
had been taken and that the Judge bad
left the court. so they remained In the

was quickly spread from n to another,
and the excited crowd surgsd back into
the courtroom and anxiously awaited

In the dock, perhaps for the last time.
the light OF . solitary candle fell full
upon his face. and disclosed more than
the usual pallor- Not Q trsmor Of the
lips or o movement OF the muscles Of his
face was observable % he threw back his
head and fxsd his gaze upon the door
through which the jury were to enter.
Judge Cox soon afterward took his seat.
The crisr called "0rdsr." and the
Jury, al 5:35, filed slowly into their seats.
Every voice was hushed save the voice
of the Clerk, as be propoundsd to the
foreman the usual inquiry. Clear and
distinct came the reply: 1--WE have"
"what il your vsrdict-guilty or not
guilty?"
With equal distinctnsss came the 70.
ply: equity, as indicted"
The psnt up feelings OF the crowd
found expression In %uproarious demon
STATIONS OF applause and approval.
"0rdsr!" "0rder!" shouted the bail.
IFS.
Scovills and counsel for the prosseu-
ton were simultaneously upon their
feet.
scovills attempted to address the
Court, but the District Attorney shouted:
"wait till We have the verdict complete
and In due form OF law"
Order was at length restored, and the
Clerk. again addressing tho jury. said:
"Your foreman says guilty, as indicted
30 say We all Of us2"
1--WE do" all responded.
Another denomination OF approval
followed this announcement, but not 20
prolonged % the frst.
Scovills, still upon bis feet, demanded
q poll OF the jury. which was granted. and
each juror was called BY name, and each
In . firm voice promptly responded
"Guilty."
As the last name was called the pris-
oner shrieked: "My blood will be upon
the heads Of that jury. Don't you for
get It,"
Scovills again addressed the Court,
saying: "Your Honor. I do not desire to
forfeit any rights / may have under the
law and practice in this District. II
there is anything that I ought to do now
to v those rights, I would DO indebted
to Your Honor TO indicate It to me-"
Judge Cox. In reply, assured him that
no should have every opportunity; that
his charge would DO furnished to him IN
print tomorrow. and he would be accord
cd oil the time allowed by law within
which to fle his exceptions, and that be
would also be entitled to four days within
which to msvs In arrest Of judgment.
Guiteau. who. from the moment Judge
Cox began delivering his charge, has
dropped completely his air Of fippant
arrogance, and sat with rigid features
and compressed lips. He called out In
tones OF desperation: "God will avsnge
this outrage"
Judge Cox then turned to the jury and
said
Gentlemen Of the Jury: I cannot ex.
press too many thanks for the manner
in which you have discharged your duty.
