day to Get His Evidence For a New
Trial.
ST.. Louis, June l2.-When the motor
for new trial of Maxwell was discussed
in the Criminal Court, neither Judge Var
Wsgoner nor Attorney Fountleroy were il

pleasant review of MaxWelfs reasons for q
new trial, particularly 80 as Mr. Fsuntleroy
had at his house a partly finished brief
that be had intended presenting the Chi
nese cases. His particular errsnd was to
ask for time to file sffdsvits as to Juror
Caolahan's prejudice. He wanted ten
days.

Wagner, very briefly.
"Butyour Honor" protested Mr.. Faunt-
leroy, this is q very important matter. a

still more eurtly, "and | am tired OF It. /

sarcastic courtesy, "but we are very much
obliged to your Honor for that favor"
Ii is understood that several additional
sfidavits will be fled in support of Mr..
Mielert's statements that Cuolshsn had
hoped that he would have chance to help
hang Maxwell Should the motion for e
new trial be oyerralsd, tbs defense have

able rulings straight through, they viii go
