Judge Cox Immediately began 10 read
FROM manuscript hls decision upon the
motion. reading from various authorities
bearing lpoa THE case Judge Cox discussed
al some length the circumstances attending
the hndns Of newspaper in the room of
one Of the ba...ti, Of the jury Of this case
First. as 10 the handwriting there are sever
81 circumstances that make II improbable
that ~ least TWO Of the names on the mar
I'm Of the paper were written by the gentle
men themselves. Second, Il as suggested
this paper was. living on the table in the
bailltt, room and the gentlemen OF the jury
in writing in albums. first tried their pens
upon the margin. il would amount TO moth
ing in the face OF the sworn affidavit, Of
every member Of the jury that they did
not see or read a paper at any time during
the trial. No one could swear to the fact
that the jurors did write upon the paper.
while they all swear tina; they did not. and
there Is no reason to doubt their veraci,y.
So far as the discovery Of new evidence is
concerned, the evidence TO be introduced is
as 10 the prisoners manner and appearance
prior to the assassination, if there had been
no evidence introduced upon this subject
there might be some force in the request
but dozen or more witnesses testified on
the trial as 10 bis manner and appearance
covering the period Of time from March
until the commission Of the act The evil
dence now sought to be introduced would
be merely cumulative and would not affect
the verdict. A. 10 the expert, admission,
after the trial are alleged to have been diff
fercnt from bis evidence given on the
trial Judge Cox said an unsworn adj,
mission Of this character could never b,
considered As ground FOR oyeriurnins a yer,
diet that may have been obtained through
the evidence Of a witness who from corrup
ton might seek to reverse q verdict.
From all the papers presented Judge Cox
summed up: Il am unable to find any rea-
son to grant the motion. which is therefore
| oyerruled.'
