 Motion For a New Trial-The Assassin Offers His Photograph For Sale--And Vents His Spleen Against the Press. WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The familiar scenes were witnessed again in the court room to- day, though persons in the historic group of lawyers were absent The crowd was, how ever, large. Guiteau seemed little changed by the weeks seclusion. He occupied seat
 by the side of Mir. Scoville at the counsel
 table. The full jury was present, occupying
 the jury box. MT. Scoville began by reading afidavits of himself, John W. Guiteau, the
 prisoner and Snyder, touching the paper hay
 ing the jurors names Mr. Scoville asked
 permission to make motion for delay of four days to secure the testimony of four
 witnesses who wished to swear that they heard medical expert say that, although he
 believed Guiteau insane, he had testified that he was sane for fear of injuring his business;
 also to secure witness he had heard could
 prove that two government clerks had visit
 ed and talked with the jurors during the
 trial also to secure the assistance of a prom inent lawyer who had promised to assist him in arguing the motion for 8 new trial if argu- ment could be postponed until next week. MT. Scoville refused to give the names of the above persons to Col. CorkhHl, who insisted on proceeding. MT. Scoville argued that the ques- tion of the names on the paper could proper ly be tried only by the testimony of experts as to signatures. He resented the imputation in regard to Snyder's affidavit that forgery had been procured and pronounced Snyder reputable man, who had done what he did from a pure sense of duty. Col. Corkhill said that the signatures on the newspaper were forgeries and that he was ready to prove l it. The District attorney then read the affi- davits of John B.. Hammill and the other members of the jury all to the effect that not one of them had read newspaper during the trial; that no one of them had seen the news paper in question and that their signatures were all forgeries. The afidavits of the jury | further stated that their attention had been \ called to Snyder during the trial, and that ! they all along during the time of his presence at the same time with them had regarded him with suspicion.
 The court said he would take until to-mor- row to consider certain points raised by the ! defense, but ordered arguments on the law and facts to proceed. Arguments then pro- \ ceeded, MT. Scoville arguing for and MT. Davidge against the grounds advanced for ! new trial. Court then adjourned till to-mor- row morning.
 Guiteau went from the court room to the \ jail in good spirits this afternoon. He says he does not suppose that Judge Cox will grant new trial, but he is exceedingly hope ! full of what the court i1a banc will do. After I the proceedings of the day were over Gui- ! teau leaned over to reporter and whispered :: '1 had intended to put Scoville off this case, ! but he is doing so we'll that shall let him ! stick. He is doing splendidly today" Gui- ! teau gave to the press to-day the following | document which he headed ''Some Errors ! Corrected and which he had expected to read in court, but being stopped in that di- | rection he concluded, as he remarked, to 1 .'test the efficiency of the press.'
