The Indictment Against Guiteau.
Washington, October 8.
The following is a synopsis of the several
counts of the indictment against Guiteau
presented to the Grand Jury to-day:
The Grand Jurors of the United States of
America, in and for the county and district
aforesaid, upon their oath present that Charles
J. Guiteau, late of the county and district
aforesaid, on the second day of J uly, in the
year of our Lord one thousand eisrht hundied

there had and held, then and there feloniously, willfully, and of his malice aforethought, did discharge and shoot otf to,against
and upon said James A. Gat-lield; and that
said Charles J. Guiteau, with a/Teaden hullct
aforesaid, out ofthe pistol aforesaid, then aid

said James A. Garfield, then and there
with a leaden bullet aforesaid, so as aforesaid discharged and shot out of the pistol aforesaid, by said Charles J. Guiteau,
in and upon the right side of the baclc of
him, the said James A. Garfield, one mortal
wound of a depth of six inches and of a
breadth of one inch; of which said mortal
wound, he, thp said James A. Garfield, from
the said second day of July in the year last
aforesaid until the nineteenth day of September in the year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and eighty-one, at and in the county
and district aforesaid, did languish, and
languishing did live, on which said nineteenth
day of September in the vear of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and eighty-one, at
and in the county and district aforesaid, the
BaidJamesA. Garfield, of the mortal wound
aforesaid, died.
The second count is precisely like the first,
with the exception of the last clause, which
reads: "Of which said mortal wound, he, the
said James A. Garfield, then and there instantly died."
In the third count the last clause is varied as
follows: "Of which said mortal wound.he. the
said James A. Garfield, from the said second
day of July in the year last aforesaid, until the
nineteenth uay of September, in the year of
our Lord one thousand eight hundred and
eighty-one, as well at, and in the county and
district aforesaid, as at and in the county of
Monmouth and State of New Jersey, did languish, and languishing did live, on which said
39th day of (September, in ihe year of our Lord
1881, at and in the county of Monmouth, and
the State of New Jersey aforesaid, the said
James A. Garheld, of the mortal wound afore-
seid, died."
The fourth count is identical with the third,
except that it omits the last twelve words of
the final clause and substitutes the following
—to-wlt: "At and in the.county of Washington and District of Columbia, said James A.
Garfield, of the mortal wound aforesaid."
The only variation in the fifth count is a
change in the order of mention of the places
where death is said to have occurred, the
county^of Washington and District of Columbia being put first.
The sixth count is like the third, except in
reciting that the offense charged was committed in the Baltimore & Potomac Railroad
depot in the city of Washington, which building stands, and at that time stood, on the
ground belonging to and under the exclusive
jurisdiction of theUnited States. The seventh
count repeats the recital of the sixth, with
regard to the place where the offense was
committed, andin all othe.-respects is like the
fourth.
'Ihe eighth count also repeats the recital of
the sixth with regard to the place where the
assault occurred, and is in all other respects
like the fifth.
The ninth count is varied by the introduction of a recital that the district in which the
offense charged was committed constitutes a
Judicial Circuit of the United States, and that
the c nmty of "Monmouth and State of New
Jersey, where the said James A. Garfield died,
forms part of a Judicial Circuit of the United
States other than the Judicial Circuit ot tho
United States consisting of the District of
Columbia. In all other respects this count is
like the third..
The tenth count recites that the district in
which the offense was committed constitutes
a Judicial District of the United States, and
that the State of New Jersey, within the limits of which the said James A«/Jarfield died,
constitutes a Judicial District of the United
States other than the Judicial District of the
United States consisting of the District of
Columbia. In other respects this count is like
the one immediately preceding.
The e.eventh and last count it* a repetition
ol' the third, with the following addition:
"And that thereafter—to-wit: on the twenty-
first day of September, in the year of our Lord
one thousand eight hundred and eighty-one,

and State of New J;ivey, and brought intothe
county of Washington and District of Columbia, within which last-mentioned county said
dead body of him, the said James A. Garfield,
lay and remained from the twenty-fust day of
September, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eighty-one, until the
twenty-third day of September, in the year of

putting in fall crops, building shelter for his
family, and looking bravely in the face ofthe
future. The courage and thrift of these unfortunate men will in a few years be rewarded by rich farms where now are black

down in the mouth.—Somerville Journal.

there is no love?" solemnly queries an
author in a book on marriage. Not
much happiness, perhaps, but if the
girl is awfully rich there can be lots of
fun.
—Here rests his head upon the lap of
earth; a youth to fortune and to fame
unknown. Too much benzine crept
underneath his girth, and played the
mischief with his temperate zone.—Detroit Free Press.

join the fire department, but as it took
him over fifteen minutes to climb a ladder, and then he had to go down again
for something he had forgotten, they
didn't employ him. —Boston Post.

thing to wear a little bit of black necktie twisted under the left ear. Nothing

will provide the entree of our young
men in the best society.—New Haven

pounds, while it is a poor trout four and
a half inches long that doesn't weigh
seven pounds and a quarter, and the
man who caught it will swear to it.—
Burlington Hawk-Eye.
