SOLEMN SCENES IN COURT EXCITEMENT OF THE PRISONER. ——-+-—_ JUDGE Cok's IMPRESSIVE REMARKS ON OVER- RULING THE MOTION FOR A NEW TBIAL AND IN PASSING SENTENCE, oes The Criminal Court room was only comfortably filled when Judge Cox came in this morning. AN ‘of the counsel in the Guiteau case, except Mr. Por- ter, Were present. Guiteau was Drought into court aS soon as It was rapped to order. Nearly all of the jurymen were present. Mr. Scoville, rising, sald since the court ad- Journed last evening he had been informed thet Batlif Curtis, who made an affidavit,was not pres ent with the jury when it was alleged that the newspaper was found. His place then held by @ man named Shryock, whom, Mr. Scoville had been Informed, had safd he would have to leave town if this matter about the newspaper came out. Mr. Corkhill said this case could not be further delayed, and, after some discussion, Judge C proceedéd to give his opinion on the pending motions, Judge Cox’s Decision Overrnling the Motion for a New Trial, Judge Cox said this was a motion fora new trial ‘There were but two grounds which it was necessary for him to consider. The first ground alleged In substance was that certain newspaper matter, calcul to prejudice the jury, had been found in the possession of the jury. Undoubtedly, i€ any undue influence had prevailed with the jury, tt would form good ground for a new trial. Ordinarily, the fact of a newspaper coming to the attention of the jury might form sufficient ground for reversing a verdict. ‘The legul intendment fs in favor of the verdl and no Verdict ought to be set. aside, espect: after it had been reached after a Jong and careful trial, without a very clear ad satisfactory reaso! There was, he sald, some remarks appileable to this case in the People agt. Gathney, Ist Sheldon, New York. Judge Cox read this decision, hoiding that a new trial Should not be granted for every slight {rregutarity, where it was not lield that the verdict had been influenced by such irregularity. AS TO THE AFFIDAVIT OF SNYDER. The first testimony relied upon in support of this motion, was the affidavit of Snyder. It was in the power, Judge Cox said, of anybody to place a newspaper in the rooms or the absent jurors. He did not mean to express any opinion as to Snyder's complicity in anything of the kind. If a court could act upon that tact alone, it Was obvious that a prisoner could alw ays defeat the objects “of justice. It wa further testified in the afidavit of John W.. Guilt that certain signatures were in the handwriting of certain persons. It was some- What surprising at first to find the av the affiint (John W. Guitean) was acquainted With the handwriting of these jurors. ‘The Infer- ence Was that such acquaintance was required by obtaining the autographs of these Jurors. It may have been red for the express purp making the afiidavit, a1 2 doubt if a knowledge acquired that way would qualify one to testify as to Nandwriting, He quoted authorities to the effect that knowl- edge acquired for the express purpose of giving an opinion was incompetent. On these grounds he bie doubt au Was comn- re of Mr. Guit in bias “Therefore he Lt this affidavit Was one Of doubuul com- enicy or doubtinl weight. THE EGE D JURORS’ SIG He had not given careful critielsm to the stzna ut had noticed that the letter H in Mr. ten in two distinct and the name of Heintine was spelled two and both were wronr. eau’ s opposed by appeared on the paper, the unan Uimony of all the jurors aad ba ere Wes No newspaper In the ju Suppos? s y effect.

Ev in the room of this bail- raise a the paper were brought tot That was an infereu that ‘There Was no confict of t that the paper had not fre that this paper w t the unanimous testimon had not y of all of them Whiie there. GRITY OF THE There was, therefore, no room for mistrusting the jury and he bad not the silghtest reason for ing the jntegrity of.the jurors. He could e that any was presented that threw a spicion upon the conduct of Uhe jw RULING AGAINSY THE PROPOSED COMA TESTIMONY. In reference to the proposal to app a com- inission to take testimony, he sald that would be contrary to the practice of celsmon law courts. Such questions were always tried by aMldavit, and ina suromary manner. If he felt that he had dt cretion in the matter, he Goudted whether there yas any sugzestion Ur : he exerc ch power. ‘The only 5 ston Was that there were witnesses who might be fou t, it amounted to asking the court to send out a roving or fishing comm: n. He did not think, if ne had the power, there was anything to just'fy him in sending out such a commission. ‘The slatement tat outside parties had conversed with jurymen had been made on Information and bellet. “ Such a statement to have ght should be thade on personal knowledge. Another suggestion was that the Jurors and others Suonld be cross-examined. He had never heard yetof a juror belnz compelied to testiiy as to al- leged misconduct of a jury. He did not see any- thing that called for an Hiquisition into the con duct of tie jury. AS 10 THE ALLEGED NEW EVIDENCE. Another ground alleged was the discovery of new evidence. The evidence In question was that of two individuals, who would testify to supposed insane conduct of the prisoner in Lafayette square, The defence had already introduced evidence as to the appearance, manner and conduct of the pris- oner, covering the period from March down to the ‘sination. ‘The evidence now proposed to be was of the Same character, and was esson- tlally cumulative evidence. ‘The question arose as to whether such evidence would have changed the result of the trial Itappeaved to the court that this evidence was so slight and inconclusive that it would have had no influence upon the verdict. In addition to that, Bragdon’s aMidavit showed that Mr. Scoville would be disappointed in refer- ence to this testimony. Anotler averment was that the defendant expected to prove utterances by one of the expert witnesses, made since the trial, in contradiction of his testimony. It was a rule that newly-discovered evidence tending to impeach a witness did not furnish ground for granting a new trial COMPELLED TO OVERRULE TRE MOTION FOR 4 NEW TRIAL * The judge, in conclusion, ‘salghe had considered, he thought, all the grounds, and he was compelled to overrule the motion for a new trial. The district attorney, rising, said: “ Your honor, it becomes my duty now to nove —” Mr. Scoville’s Desire. “One moment, please,” said Mr. Scoville, rising. Mr. Scoville said he desired to file the additional motion he had mentioned yesterday, so as to have the record show tt. He understood that it was overruled. He would like before the court passes judgment to rule uy his motion yesterday to ex- punge certain portions a: ‘tie affidavits. dudge Cox said had ajready ruled that so much of Mr. Wiurd’s eflidavit that did not to impeach bis credibility should be suppressed. He did not think the averments made by the jurors wore impertinent. Mr. Scoville’s Motion fm Arrest of Jnag- ment Ov. Mr. Scoville then filed a ment, handing the paper to court entered as overruled, The mction is based on the fotlowing reasons: “Uncertainty in the verdict of the jury, in that ‘the jury merely found ‘whereas fu arrest of Juig- clerk, which the ent that | ious tht the knowledge was | n it it were | counts being substantially different. from the others, the defendant 1s not advised by the form or substance as to the finding of the jury upon the material facts of the death or place of the death of the deceased. That the trial yas not completed at the same term in wich it'was commenced. That this court had no jurisdiction, by reason of the death having taken place outside of the Dis- trict of Columbia. Guiteau’s Desire as to His “ Reserved Rights.” The prisoner, speaking up, sald: “It your honor please, I desire to ask you, in tay own behalf, if there is anything I ought to do to preserve my rights. I expect to have two or three of the best lawyers In the country to come into my case, and I want the record straight for them.” “Every right will be reserved,” sald the court. “How miich time will T have,” continued the prisoner, “to prepare a bill of exceptions?” Mr. Scoville, who wanted to speak, tried to qulet the prisoner, who turned upon him with angry de- nunelaton, and then proceeding said to the court: STdow't desire that any of me. Texpect these I the court in bane.” The Coming Bill of Exceptions, Mr. Scoville asked how long he would have toMle his DUL of exceptions.
