MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL
Filed by the Defense in the
Cronin Case.
The Motion Assigns Thirty
Nine Causes of Error.
The Worlds Fair Before the
House Committee.
Motion for New Trial.

CHICAGO, Jan. l0.--Late this afternoon
Attorneys Wing, DUnahoe and Forrest
filed a motion for a new trial in the cases
of Coughlin, Burke, O'Sulliyan and
kuntze, convicted of the murder OF DR..
Cronin. The motion assigns th~irty-nine
causes of error in the rulings of Judge
Mcconnell during the trial of the ease.
These grounds of alleged error embrace
every point contested by the ATTORNEYS for
the defense and range from objection to
the courts o%verruling the motion TO
quash indictments uD to the assertion
that the defense has since the trial dis.
covered new evidence which entities
them to a new trial.
Among other things the refusal Of the
court to permit the defense to show that
Messrs. Ingham and Hynes were EN-
ployed in the prosecution by private par
ties actuated by improper motives and is
alleged to have been preiudicial to the de-
PENDANTS and courts attorney for these
lawyers to assist in the prosecution is said
to be an error. Hynes is charged to have
been moved by a spirit OF personal hostil-
ity toward Coughlin, Burke and O'Sulli-
van and not fit to act as a prosecuting at
%torney. States Attorney Longnecker's
opening address to the Jury is cited as an
error being improper and illegal. 1t is
charged that improper remarks of coun.
sci for the state excited the passions and
prejudices of the Jurors against the de-
PENDANTS and allowing the prosecution to
introduce as evidence clothing. instru
ments, hair and all material evidence in
court.
That the court was in error in the in.
PRODUCTION of Cron;n's knives after the
state had closed its case is also cited.
Objection is made to the instructions
given by Judge Mcdonnell. The YER
dict is pronounced contrary to the law
and not justified BY the evidence, and.
finally it is said, defendants have dis
covered evidence which entitled them to
a new trial "

COLUMBUS, o.. Jan l0.-The Column
bus Disputch says this afternoon. Not
withstanding the fact that Brice received
the unanimous vote of the caucus. he
may be defeated for senator owing to the
fact that the Democrats have only five Of
a majority on JOINT ballot, one of which
is Knapp of Defiance, who is now dead,
p. Lawler of Franklin, who is not ex-
pected to live through the day and three
of which majority, Munson of Licking.
Kounts of Shelby and Smith of Frank
lin did not attond the caucus It will be
readily seen If these three members fail
tc support the nominee of the caucus
the ttate of Ohio may be represented by
a Republican in the senate.
Murat Halstead, on his way from Den,
yer to Cincinnati was in Chicago to day.
10 a reporter regarding the nomination
OF Brlce, he declared it had put the Demo-
Gratis In a hole. 1T is simply a tribute to
money power" he continued. the field
marshal having done so, having openly
endorsed a representative of such power.
how can Democrats ever gain pose before
the country as the opponents OF monop-
ollsts, trusts and grasping ~millionaires?
Brlce is not an Ohioan and his admission
to the senate is simply giving New York
three senators. Halstead did not take
any stock in to days report from Colum
bus that Brice would not be elected in
spite of the nomination.
There have been Several rumors in cir
c%ulation to-day relative to the proposed
bolt of the caucus which last night nomi
mated Calvin S. Brice for the senate.
There were seventy five members at the
caucus. Three did not appear. They
are Smith, of franklin, Munson, of
Licking, and Counts, of Shelby. It. is
reported they will not vote for Brice.
The situation at last has created uneasi-
ness and it will lie before the Democrats
from the caucus to vote for Brice. Brown
of Hancock having sent a note that he
would support the nominee.

Phelps Tribute TO Empress Augusta.
BERLIN, Jan. l0.-Mr. Phelps. United
States minister, made an address before
the Anglo American Society here, in
which he praised the patriotic pursuit of
duty that characterized the German race
in every rank from prince to peasant. He
dwelt upon this trait as revealed by EN-
press Augusta in the last audience he had
with her. The labor of that audience
was evidently beyond her strength.
One thing" he said, Especially
struck me on that occasion. Every topic
seemed to lead her unconscious'y to the
same subject of love of peace, which ap-
peared to strangely occupy and fill her
mind; whether speaking OF Americas
material and moral growth, or Of France
and the exhibition. she always reverted to
peace. Detecting a CLEAN of merrimeut
on my face at this she IN a winning, half
pettish tone reproached me, and added
think what | know of war and
ing something Of which | caught only the
words of father and son, she dismissed
me with an earnest injunction to promote
peace between Germany and America"

Discussing the worlds Fair.

WASHINGTON, Jan. lO-The discus
sion Of the worlds fair bill by the house
committee on foreign affairs resulted in
bringing forward a proposition which it is
suggested may aid in the selection OF a
site for the fair by the house. The com
mittee has already decided it will report
a bill leaving blank the name of the city
where the fair will be held, but it is feared
that if it goes into the house in that
shape and with some arrangements in ad-
vance as to the government OF a selection
Tor q site no. agreement can ever be
reached. Under ordinary parliamentary
rules, the probable course of proceedings
in the house would be for some member
TO move to insert the name of a site,
some other member would thereupon
move to strike out that name and insert
another.
On a vote on this last proposition the
opposition would combine to defeat it
and this would probably be the fate of
original and succeeding motions. AdvO-
Gates of different cities desiring to secure
the proposed fair, killing each other off
in succession. To avoid this the sub
committee charged with the consideration
of the fair bill has taken a hint from the
action Of the appropriations committee in
securing alternative action upon certain
clauses in the District of Columbia APP

special proposition which will provide for
repeated ballots in the house upon the
question of naming a site Cor he fair

number of votes be dropped, and in this
way it is believed a conclusion can soon
be reached.
