THE GUITEAU CASE.
A UIotlonlMadc by Counsel for a New
Trial The Papers Filed In Support or
the Motion.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star. 1
Washington, January 28. At the Crim
inal Court this morning Messrs. Scoville
and Reed, counsel for Guiteau, appeared,
and the former inquired of the Court, in
respect of the foflJTof his bill of excep
tions, whether he would be compelled to
except specifically or whether a general
exception would suffice ? Judge Cox stated
that under the practice of the Coujrt he
would have to . except specifically. Mr.
Scoville then stated that he had intended to
file his motion for a new trial, but ae would,
like to have until Monday. The District
Attorney objected, "and Mr. Scoville stated
that in that case he would file Ms: motion
"this afternoon in the clerk's office. ; The
District Attorney asked that the Court
assign Tuesday next for a hearing of the
argument upon the motion, but upon repre
sentations from Mr. Scoville that he would
scarcely be able to enter upon the argu
t ment at that time,' tie Court declined to fix
a day at present.
Shortly before 5 o'clock this afternoon
Mr. Scoville filed with the clerk of the Su
preme Court of the District of Columbia
papers upon which he bases his motion or
motions for a new trial. Not being fami
liar with the practice in this District, Mr.
Scoville concluded to file two motions to
assure himself against the possibility of be
ing deprived through any legal technicality
of the right of review by the Court in Gen
eral Term. The papers filed in support of
the motion are the prisoner's affidavit, and
an affidavit of Frederick H. Snyder, as to
the finding of a newspaper under circum
stances indicating that it had been read by
the jury, the affidavit of J. Guiteau that
he is acquainted with the signatures of five
jurors whose names arc written on the mar
gin of the newspaper said to have been seen
by the jury; that he has seen hein write
their names and believes the writing upon
the said newspaper to have been made by
the jurors named. The last affidavit is that
of Mr. Scoville, setting forth newly dis
covered evidence upon which he bases his
motion for a new trial. '
Mr. Scoville's application for a new trial
is based upon the ground of uncertainty of
the verdict ' 'Guilty as indicted." The in
dictment consists of different, varying and
inconsistent counts, and the verdict does
not specify uponjssdiich count or counts it
is founded; the lack of jurisdiction, errors
in rulings and in the charge to the jury, in
excluding some and rejecting other evi
dence, misbehavior on the part of the jury
and new evidence discovered. The main
reliance is placed upon the affidavit of Mr.
Snyder. The latter says he is a resident of
Jersey City, was a guest of the National
Hotel in December," and during his stay
there passed through the corridor and
observed the door of one of the rooms
occupied by a juror open, and on a table
within lay a newspaper, which he secured.
It was a copy of the Evening Critic, of
Dec. 19th, and upon its margin were the
names of several of the jurymen written in
ink. John "W. Guiteau, In his affidavit,
declares that these names are the autographs
of the jurors named. This newspaper was
handed Mr. Scoville, with a statement of
the circumstances. '
Mr. Scoville's bill of exceptions, to which
he refers in general terms in his motion for
a new trial, will be an exceedingly volumi
nous document, and will not be ready for
some time yet. To use his own expression,
"it embraces the record of the entire trial."
Judge Cox has noi-yet set a day upon which
to hear arguments upon the motion, but he
will probably do so early next week. The
main reliance of the defence in this matter
is the affidavit of Mr. Snyder and the copy
of the Critic appended to it, which
it is claimed was seen and read by the jury
pending the trial. A careful comparison
of the writing upon the margin of the
newspaper with the signatures of the jury
men whose names appear there, shows a
striking resemblance and establishes a
strong case of circumstantial evidence. The
District Attorney, however, asserts that
this matter of tampering with the jury, and
irregular or improper conduct on the part
of the jury, as set forth in Snyder's affida
vit,will be disposed of in short order by the
prosecution. T he jury themselves are quite
indignant, and firmly deny the charges of
improper conduct on their part.
The affidavit of Guiteau was taken at the
jail this afternoon. He expressed at first a
lofty contempt for any action that Scoville,
in his blundering way, might be taking in
his behalf. He said that he did not expect
anything from Judge Cox, but looked to
the Court in General Term to review and
upset the work of this jury. He thought
Scoville talked too much; that his whole
family talked too much. As to Scoville
exhausting his energies by sitting up all
night with a view of availing himself of all
legal remedies that was all bosh. Upon be
ing told that unless his own affidavit was
signed, attested and filed in court before 5
P. M. he would have no case on which to
get before the court in banc, Guiteau
quickly changed his tone, signed the affi
davit and swore to it with great fervor.
' I am well, slept well last night, had a shave
and a bath this morning," said Guiteau."
"and I expect to be happy and live a good
many 3'ears yet. As for committing sui
cide," he continued, "I am the last man in
the world to resort to such a step."
No reporters have been allowed to see the
assassin for two days, which is the only
thing that seriously annoys him, and he
intends, so he says, to put Scoville "pe
remptorily off the case" unless he is allowed
to have his mail and receive visitors.

THE BOARD OF HEALTH AND THE
- , WATER WORKS.
' The" County Board of health is a" volun-s
tary organization, legalized, it is true, by
State' law, but an association chiefly of
licensed physicians, meeting monthly to
study and discuss questions pertaining to:
the public health, and performing other im
portant functions which is no more their
duty than that of other citizens.' Their
work; sometimes expensive, sometimes un
pleasant, and always incurring grave re
sponsibility, is performed without pay. The
Superintendent of Health, who is physician
to the public institutions of the county, for
his service receives compensation. This
much to explain the relation of the Board;
of Health to the people.
I desire to criticise so much of the report
of tho committee from the Board of Aider-.;
men, as contained in the Star Of Saturday,
the 28th, as pertains to the action taken by
the Board of Health in pronouncing upon
the quality of the North East river water.
. The committee, after giving the proposi
tions submitted to the Board of Healthgo
on to say: 'The Board of Health' irrelevant
ly discussed the fitness of the water at two
meetings, producing other analyses made by
Prof. Dabney, of the State University," &c.
Now it would have been quite natural for
the Water Work6 Company to consider the
discussion of the Board of Health irrelevant,
upon the ground that in considering the
fitness of the water they offer for domestic
use we did not apply ourselves entirely to
the consideration of the two analyses by
their own chemist; but for Aldermen repre
senting the interests of the city, their duty
was to seek for all the truth, not to formu
late an opinion for us, - to lead us on
to an inevitable conclusion. See how this
committee puts the proposition : Are you
satisfied with the trustworthiness of Prof.
Nichols as a chemist, and can his analyses
be reliedyin ? The reply, of course, would
be yes 1 If the analyses of Prof. Nichols
are trustworthy state the reasons, if any
exist, to doubt the fitness of the water for
domestic use? The analj'ses" of Prof.
Nichols arc correct. It was at this point
that the Board of Health instituted a com
parison of analyses by different chemists at
different seasons of the year ; they discussed
the present and prospective sewage contam
ination of tho .river ; they discussed the
experience of physicians who have been
living on this river half a century ; these
were matters all supposed to be relevant,
and they are relevant to the question as
propounded. The Board of Health dis
tinctly stated that the analyses of water for
domestic supply, to be of use in deter
mining such an important question, in
volving, as it does, tho money of the stock
holders and the health of the city, could
not reasonably be based upon Prof Nichols'
analyses, or Prof. LcDoux's and Prof. Dab
ney's, all combined.
The proposition from the committee of
the Board of Aldermen Is analagous to this:
Gentlemen of the Board of Health, we have
respect for your opinion, and the city we
represent is about to buy an expensive
building. The question is whether on cer
tain points the contractors have fulfilled
their part as to the sanitary construction of
this building. A disinterested party has
furnished us with two specimen! of the
bricks said to enter into this structure. Do
you know the character of our expert? If
J'ou believe him to be correct, do you be
icve that the building the contractor now
offers for occupancy agrees in the particu
lars stated with the terms of his contract?
It would be quite disparaging to the intelli
gence of that body to believe that they
could give any other reply than the equiva
lent: We have heard your proposition. We
too, are like you citizens ana tax-payers,
interested in seeing that our city is dealt
fairly with. We have given the matter
some study, but wo must be guarded in our
opinion. What you state in your proposi
tion is only a fragment of the matters to be
considered. If we are to rest upon your
testimony, and have nothing else to offer,
we reply that your account is so meagre
that we must reek further, both., for your
information aud ours, that the public we
are serving may not suffer.
What follows then? Why the Board of
Health take the question and discuss it
upon its collateral bearings, and the com
mittee, apparently so willing to get the
truth, pronounce our discussion (the greater
part of which they d'u not hear) as irrele
vant But as the matter of relevancy seems so
important to this committee of Aldermen,
let us return to Prof. Nichols' explanatory
remarks appended to his analyses. He
says:
"Permit me to say that as far as I ex
press an opinion it is with some reserva
tion, for while the chemical examination
assists in indicating the character of a wa
ter, it only assists. The question of the
surroundings and of the liability to pollu
tion are of even greater importance, and
on these points I am without information."
If Prof. Nichols, who is an eminent ex
pert, could not decide the whole question
upon his own analyses, the Board of Health
could hardly be expected to do so; and
however irrelevant it may be, they sought
other information and discussed the liabili
ty to pollution.
The Board of Health did answer the
questions propounded by the committee of
Aldermen, and from that day to this, no
member of that committee has enquired
into the reasons upon which the resolution
of the Board of Health was founded.
It is not necessary to discuss the proprie
ty of tl0 Bxard of Health .preferring that
the discussion on the subject should be
done in executive session. They are the
advisers of .the public in all matters apper
taining to the public health; they were
called upon to give their opinion; they be
lieved that their opinion would be more
fearlessly given in executive session, than
in the . presence of even invited guests.
This communication Is not written to de
fend the resolution of the Board, because
time will test that sufficiently; and time
will be the only proper test.

is about 50x100 feet, and contains the Eng

mills, &c There vis also a brick building
40x50 feet for opening the cotton. Some
of the machinery was placed in the facto
ry before the close dt, the war. New ma
chinery has been added from time to time,
until the mill house is filled' to its utmost
capacity. There are 3,784 spindles, .mak
ing plaid goods altogether, using three bales
of cotton per day, and turning out 1,100 or
1,200 pounds of goods. Eighty operatives
are jloved, most of them being females.
The goods are sold principally in Phila
delphia. Wilson Advance: ". The blun
ders and schemes of would-be leaders may
disgust many, but every thoughtful Demo
crat will beware of encouraging disaffec
tion or weakening party allegiance on
account of personal grievances. Dr.
Mayo has been invited to visit the graded
school at this place, and though no reply
has yet been received, it is hoped that
such a distinguished gentleman and prac
tical educator will favor us with a visit.
The Graded School seems ever on the
waxing, for it continues to .grow both in
numbers and public favor. Since the holi
days 65 new pupils have been admitted,
making a total enrollment of over 350.
It is not generally known that President
Bridgets took a buggy ride from Fayette
ville to Wilson in order to closely inspect
the line of the proposed road. Men like
President Bridgers do not put themselves to
as much inconvenience as this unless they
mean business. We think all indications
are that the Wilson & Florence Railroad
will be built, and that it will accomplish
wonders for Wilson. The surveying is be
ing prosecuted with vigor.
University Trustees met at Ra
leigh on Thursday. From the report in
the Newa-Observer we cup Ihe following;
President Battle submitted his annual re
port of the condition of the University, and
the trustees were very much pleased with
the exhibit. It showed that the number
of students and the receipts, from tuition
have increased. Up to this date 48 persons
have been aided from the "Deems Fund,"
thus showing the sagacity and wisdom of
the distinguished founder. President Bat
tle reported excellent work by all the pro
fessors. The department of Natural
History is to be organized by Prof. Holmes
on a practical basis, students being required
to perform labratory work in all the
branches. Prof. Grandy has begun a new
class in practical surveying, leveling, drain
ing, &c. The trustees determined to begin
actively to increase the efficiency of the
University library. An annual appropria
tion was made for the increase. The
following were elected as the executive
committee for the ensuing year: Paul C.
Cameron, Wm. L. Saunders, Julian S.
Carr, A. M. Lewis, It. II. Battle, Jr., E.
Grissom and George V. Strong. Gov. Jar
vis was authorized to appoint a committee
of five to visit the University and inspect
its condition.
Raleigh Netes- Observer: It is
said to lie the Terminal Company that owns
the stock in the Western North Carolina
.Road, and not the Richmond & Danville
Railroad, which, however, controls the
.Terminal Company. A railroad is
proposed from Lynchburg, through Gray
son county, to Ashe county. The
Alumni Association of the University met
yesterday, and adjourned until to-day. It
was decided to hold no public celebration
this winter, but to have only a business
meeting. The executive committee
of the North Carolina State Sunday School
Association, having received official notice
that Mr. B. F. Jacobs, chairman, and Mr.
E. Paysou Porter, Statistical Secre
tary of the International Sunday
School Executive Committee, with
perhaps others of their committee,
will visit North Carolina, on the 24th
and 25th of February, 1882, at some
convenient centre, to meet the Sunday
School workers of the State, desire to give
notice, that on the days mentioned there
will be held in the city of Raleigh, N. C, a
special meeting of the North Carolina State
Sunday School Association. . We have
had three fires this month. Small grain
crops never looked better all through this
country, and the best part of it is that there
is an immense crop sown. ; The rumor
of the drowning near Oxford turns out to
be a hoax. It was told here; in good faith.
New Berne Neies: Gambol Dar
den, of Batchelor Creek, was in town yes
terday, and informed us tho his barn was
burned a few nights since, together with all
of his farming implements, ten barrels of
corn, half a ton of cotton seed, all his pro
visions and harness. Raleigh, the
capital of the State, is a fine place. The
streets are so impassable that the fire en
gines cannot be drawn through them with
horses. Last evening Mr. King met
the Board of Trade and Cotton Exchange
jointly in the Board of Trade Rooms. At
the request of President Foy, Mr. Geo.
Allen introduced Mr. - King and his En
gineer, Capt. Holbrook, to the meeting.
Mr. King responded by stating that
he was the pioneer and constructor of
the Elizabeth City & Norfolk Railroad,
hereafter to be known in its extension as
the Norfolk & Southern Railroad, and hav
ing reached the town of Edenton with the
road in operation, the company was looking
out for its extension on the south side of
tho Albemarle sound, and he was in this
section in that interest. He ' stated that the
people of various localities in Bertie, Mar
tin, Pitt, &c., had offered inducements for
the extension of the line through their coun
try, and it was his business here to exam
ine into the facilities and inducements of
fered, and to lay before his people the full
est information to guide their action.
