Motions for New Trials Overruled b
the Courts.

Motions for New Trials Oyerruled by
the Courts.
Antonio Nardello, convicted OF the muir.
der Of Canine Rotuuno; Lewis Summer
field, for the killing of bis wife and son-in-
law, aud Richard j. Lee, for the murder Of
his Wife, Mary Lee, were all brought up to
the Criminal Court to-day for sentence, but
Justice Macarthur said he would postpone
passing sentence until January 8, but in the
meantime the motions for new trials would
be considered and acted upon.
The case of Richard j. Lee was first con
sidored and the court said that there was
nothing In the application for a new trial to
justify the granting of the motion and he
therefore overruled 1t. The case of Antonio
NalGello was next called, and the motion
for new trial overruled. In the case of
Lewis Summerfeld, while notice was given
Of the intention to file n motion for new
trial, none ever was filed, and the counsel
stated that no further steps would be taken
in the matter
This virtually leaves nothing remaining
in Summerfleld's but imposing of sentence
and its execution. 1t is the intention Of
the counsel in the other two cases to take
them to the general term on exceptions.
The next motion for Il new trial was In
the case OF Charles Hamilton, convicted of
manslaughtcr in killing George A. Hill.
The grounds for this application were based
upon alleged errors committed by the
Court in charging the jury. After argu-
ment on the part of the counsel for the
defendant, the motion for new trial was
overruled and the case will be carried up
on exceptions. Hamilton was sentenced to
six years in the Albany peDitentiary, but
execution of 1t was suspended, pending
the hearing of the exceptions in the court
above.
