The admission Was free 70 all, and the
large court room WAS deDsely packed.
The other ''bOOdleIs" were conspicuous by
their absence. MCQuAde was escorted
into the court room by Under Sheriff Sex
ton. He took his old seat very quietly
and waited for the hour Of sentence. Al
IL q. N. Recorder SmYth entered the
court. and with the memory Of the Jaehne
Case fresh in their minds, the audience
had the idea that there WAS no hope tor
M Quade and that he would at once re-
ceive sentence.
NewOombe asked that the proceedings
of Friday be read. The request was granted
and after the reading General Tracy SAID:
ave moved the arrest of sentence because
the indictment was on insufficient ground
and that the evid nee was not sufficient to
convict because Of the mischarge
certain jurors were illegally ex-
cluded from the box; because the trial was
suspended December IA b for the bring
ing of NesbItt and Vickerman who
signed af1davits before and Ia the pres
sence of the jury, as set down in the sffl-
daVits at the defense and served
on the district attorney on
Friday. We also move that
the verdict be set aside on these gTounds."
General Tracy also moved that the officers
who had charge of the jury during the
trial be called aud sworn. TINS was on the
strength of statements made TO them by .
MIR. o. Brien TO the feet that on Decem-
Der 18th the jury were taken 70 the Astor

Rosenberg charged with being friend of
the BoOdler." Martin, In reply,
read an affidavit OF Juror Ros-
Influenced In any way In favor or against
the defendant by outside influences, but
that he acted on the evidence alone.
Recorder Smyth said he thought 1t WaS
his duty TO take more than usual caution
in all details of this case. The officers
were picked and q respectable hotel Wss
selected for the accommodation OF the jury.
The jurors were conscienciously warned
on each occasion of their leaving the court
room. Special caution has been used and
the court is satisfied that the interests OF
the prisoner had been carefully guarded.
In the matter OF the affidavit Of Wicker
man and Nesbit, the recorder said that it
was the action which the district attorney
had the right 20 take, and the case Of
Jaebne was cited regarding the form of in
dictment, the court declaring the McQuade
Indictment to be like it was sustained by
the general term and court of appeals.
The motion for q new trial was denied,
General Tracy taking exception. McQIade
