Scoville filed his motion for n new trial in the Guiteau case Saturday. Jle alleges several errors; in the rulings of the court, 'and also that the jury had access to the newspapers during the progress of ! the trial. The grounds of the moi tion are very unsubstantial, and there is no probability that it will be granted. Colonel Corkhill says he “will smash the motion so dead that no living man will speak of | it.”
