Via. VIM The Verdict bsi-rhs D..t Jads.. Pre-.

The Rest wiz be SAFE Enough.
Special Dispatch to the 1ntslllgsnces.

!
! WASHINGTON, january 1.-THE trial o
Guiteau is practically closed. The testi
mony in the case was finished to-day, anG
the fate Of the assassin Is practically in the
hands Of the jury. The trial has been ad
joarned to Saturday next when the aEgu
ments will be opened, and will in all prob
ability, occupy three or four days. But
nothing that can now be said will change
the condition Of affairs rs they now stand.
The testimony upon which the prisoners
fate hangs is now in the hands Of the jury,
and there Is little question here as to the
direction OF the preponderancs Of 1t. Acute
and thoughtful members OF the bar as
Sert that the jury can not deliberate
over fifteen minutes the utmost, and that
A VERDICT OF MURDER
in the first degree, fixing the full RESPONSE
bility Of the prisoner, will be found in a
much shorter time The case will be sent
to the jury by next Thursday at the latest,
and it is stated that not even the prisoners
friends and relatives expect aught but an
adverse verdict.
Mrs. scoville does not occupy her old
seat in the court room, the little group Of
family relatives being broken up since the
prisoner was removed to the dock. 1t is
stated that this condition ofafFairs pleases
Mr.. scoville much better, as he has been
considerably annoyed by the constant
presence Of his wife and her brother in the
court room, and their continued sugges.
tions, prompted by sympathy for the ac-
cused, as to how he should conduct the
case. She now occupies seat near the
Judges bench, but SO far back that the
prisoner cannot see her, it being her desire
that he should not know Of her presence in
the court room.
TIRE EXPENSES OF THE TRIAL.
The expenses Of the trial have already
reached s5O,OeO. Many witnesses have
been paid who have not testified, and thus
the actualIproceedings have not indicated
the actual expense. Thus, Mrs. ScovilIe's
son and n young friend of his were sub
penaed here, and paid about eighty-fiye
dollars apiece for fees and expenses, but
were not put upon the stand at all, and
there are large number Of similar cases,
both among witnesses for the defense and
the prosecution.
In case OF an adverse verdict the matter
OF jurisdiction is to be pushed to its utmost
limit, and Guiteau is already grasping at
this straw as though it were life raft.

The Reasons for Judge Cox's Conduct OF
the GuItcau Trial.
Special Dispatch 10 the IntelligenSer
WAsHtSoToN, January 4.-The structures
by the press and bar Mt large upon Judge
Cox's conduct of the Guiteau trial have
been most unjust criticisms. The trouble
arises from a misunderstanding OF the case
and the condition Of affairs. The fact is
that in every step he has taken, Judge Cox
has been in consultation with his associ-
ates Of the Supreme Court Of the District
aud the case has been conducted : accord.
ing to the best judgment Of the best jurists
of the District. There has been gener-
Gus bestowal Of advice on the subject Of
gngging the prisoner; much Of it from high
legal authorities, which ought to be cogni.
zant OF the constitutional rights Of a prise.
ncr.
1t may not be generally known that such
a step upon the part Of Judge Cox would
have resulted in the complete nullilying OF
the whole trial, as Judge Cox was notified
early ir the proceedings by Chief Justice
Carter and his associates OF the Supreme
Court that, sitting in banc, they would vote
to reverse a sentence or verdict obtained
in trial where the prisoner had been dc.
prived OF his constitutional rights by gagg-
