Although a graduate of a medical college, his method of trestment is peculiar to himself, though there have been men in all ages with the same magnetic power over the diseases of the body and mind. Some cail it the ‘Gift of Heal- ing,” yet few have posse: sed it to such an extent over nearly all diseases and persons. It is life and vitality | passed from a strong, healthy body toa weak one, that restores the lost or unequal circulation of the vital or nervous fluid. So powerful is this influence that per- sons who for many years suffered from diseases which have been pronounced incurable, aud to whom me cine has been administered to no good effect, have been restored to health iu au incredible short space of time. It will not restore a lost member of the body or perform other impossibilities, but 1t will always relieve pain, from whatever cause. ‘The practice is based upon the most strict princip'es of science; there isnothing mirac- ulous or supernatural about it; it is in harmony with ali natural laws. By this treatment it takes but a few minutes for invet- erate cases of almost any curable chronic diseae; and sosnreis the effect that but few discaces require a s2c- ond treatment, except Deafness, Broken Bones, Dislo- cation, Bad Curvature of the Spine and Suppurating Tumors, ‘The diseases which yield the most readily to the curative agency of this method, as practiced by me, 5 THE yspepsia, Constipation, Asthma, Angina Pectoris, Chiorosis, Loss of Voice, Rheumatism, Rheumatic Gout, Liver Disease, all kinds of Sexual Weskneas, Dia- betes, Headache, Nervous Irritation of the Brain, Bron- iia, Thrush, Con- estion of Spleen, Irritation of Stomach, Diseases of Kidneys, Ulceration and Displacenent of the Womb, Morbid Appetite, Wakefulness, Gencral Debility, Weak | Spine, Nervous Depression, Difficult Breathing with Pain in tho Lungs, Weak and Sore Eyes of every De- scription, Noise in the Head, Discharges from the Fara, Cancers, Tumors, Tape Worm, Piles, Stuttering, Pim- ples on the Face, Varicose Veins, Impotence and Sterility. ‘The Doctor haa, in connection with bia peculiar treat- ment, discovered a specific for that terrible disease, Epileptic Fits, and particularly invites those afflicted with the Spaema, READ THE FOLLOWING AFFIDAVITS: N.

Bs in the Criminal Court, there was but a small attendance. When Judge Cox took his seat, and the court was opened, District Attor- ney Corkhill and Messrs. Scoville and Reed were present. THE EXCEPTIONS TO THE JUDGE'S CHARGE. Mr. Scoville said that in the case of Guiteau he desired to ask in what time it would be necessary to prepare and submit the exceptions to the court. ‘The Court.—As to the exceptfons,Mr.Scoville,you may take your own time. 5 rinitted to take a gen- Mr. Scoville, —Will I be pe eral exception? The Court.—No, sir. The law requires that par- ticular portions of the charge, &., shoul be ex- cepted to. THE MOTION FOR A NEW TRIAL NOT QUITE READY. Mr. Scoville.—I had expected to file the motion for a new trial this morning, but would prefer to have until Monday to do so. The district attorney said he would insist on the motion being filed to-day. The court sald that he would be willing if the district attorney consented. It was not necessary that it be filed in open court, but could be tiled with the clerk. Mr. Scoville.—If the court will give me until five o’elock I will file the motion to-day. The District Attorney.—t would ask that the motion be argued on Tuesday next. Mr. Scoviile.—We will probabiy not take up much of the time of the court in the arzument of this motion, for it will be more of a matter of form than of substance. I will not be ready probably so soon. ‘The District Attorney.—The matters we seein the papers as to this motion. are 1 presented by affidavit and not by argun ‘The court said he would not tixa day for the argument till the motion is Mled, An Interview With Mr. Scoville. HE WAD ONLY ONR AFFIDAVIT READY THIS MORN- ING—THAT IN RELATION TO THE NEWSPAPER IN THE JURY ROOM. A Star reporter met Mr. Scoville after he left the court this morning. He was wending his way through the mud, wader the shelter of a big um- brella, for the Tremont house. With one arm he struggled with a bundle of books and papers. “I Went Into court this morning,” he said, and was granted until 5 o'clock this evening to Mle my pa- pers.

FOUND IN A JURYMAN’S ROOM. Both Mr, Scoville and Mr, Joseph F. Hayden have pubilshed statements regarding a publication in an evening paper reflectlag’ upon Mr. Hayden. Mr. ville, after stating tht Mr. Mayden’scour: had been honorable and his action had been dit tated by courtesy, says:—* Permit me to say that not a single expression or allezation made by the prisoner against the district attorney In court originated with te or was spoken of between the prisoner and myself at any time, except by way of reproof by me to hin for such’conduct. "So far as Ue newspaper 13 concerned whlch was ob- tained from a room of a juror, Mr. Hayden had nothing to do with ft, and tind no knowledge of It Mntil some time aiterwards, when T requested Mr. Snyder to make affidavit to tt, and Mr. Hayden, y, ab my request.’ administered the | the papers when fied in court will | This mornin; nich to make the 10- | ule governing the nday, Iwill have 1 Mr. Hayden’s statement sets forth that Mr. Sny der 4s not an employé, but a suest at the Natio hotel, aud says: “I calied there at, his invitation, and during the evening be told me, much to my Surprise, tat he had picked up a newspaper from one of the juryraen’s rooms, and on the margin of | Said paper were written ‘in fak the following B : F. W. Brandenburg, H. J. Bright and 1,’ and tie Christian name ‘Michael? I knew that such men were on the Jury and also knew that If these names were genuine, it might be a proper legal ground for settling aside the v diet. equently Mr. Scoville inf@gmed me that had placed that paper tn his posses 9 much for the obtaining of the paper. Yesterday I met Mr. Scoville on the street, and he told me he would like to have Mr. Snyder make an aMdevit, showing how the paper was obtained and from where, aud that, as Iwasa notary pub- He, he wanted me to afllx mny jurat to the aflidavit. ‘The seme was drawn up in Col. Cole’s office and sworn to before me. What fe will amount to, upon Judicial examtnation, remains for the court'to de- termine, but that any irregularity was indulzea in obtaining the paper or my attesting the affida- Vit, is Sheer nonsense.” THE JURORS DENY THE NEWSPAPER STORY. Foreman Hilin, with juryman Heinline, visited the district. attorncy’s office at noon to-day, and had a brief talk with Mr. Corkhill concerning the charge made in Snyder's affidavit. “J feel a little indignant about the matter,” said ea Heinline to a Srag reporter, “as my name was in it” Both gentlemen, as well as all the other jury- men, deny the story of Snyder. Mr. Heiniine sug- gests Chat the paper might have been found in one of the rooms occupied by the bailiffs, as they oc- cupied separate apartments, SNYDER’S RECORD. Mr. Corkhill has received a number of statements concerning Snyder, which are not complimentary tothat person. He is from New Jersey, and has been latterly engaged as a detective collecting evi- dence in the Christiancy case. While the jury was at the National hotel he oc- cupied a room there. He was known to some of the jurymen, who say they saw him about the hotel. One of the jurors asked a Srak reporter how it came that Snyder was in their rooms at all. The district attorney, speaking of the matter, said: “I do not propose & allow sucha jury as that to be insulted, and 1 think this matter wiil be settled very soon after the alidavits are filed.” THE M'FBELY-BRAWNER STORY. ‘The tacts in relation to the reported interview of Messrs. McFeely afd Downs with Juror Brawner, in which it was alleged that Mr. Brawner said several days before the verdict was rendered: “It all the rest are like I am we will be out but a few | minutes,” are about as follows: Some two or three | weeks before the verdict was rendered the gentle- men named were at the National hotel, and Capt. Mcleely proposed to go spas and take some cigars to “the boys” @e jurors.) Mr. Downs re- marked that {t might improper, but consented to go up-stuirs.with Ca; icFeely.
