THE VERDICT STILL STANDS.
Judge Pugh Overrules the Mo.
tiOn for a New Trial in
the Lewis Case.
A Petition in Error 10 DO Filed in
the Circuit Court.
Is There n Law Which Might Have Kept
John Lewis From Going to Jail?

The motion for new trial in the
Lewis case was overruled by Judge
Pngh on Saturday. The priuci,,al
grounds on which the motion was based
were, the illegality of the jury by
which the case was tried, the miscon.
duct OF the States attorneys in the clos
ing argument and the claim that the
verdict was contrary to the weight Of
the evidence. The Court decided that
these we're not sufficient grounds on
which to set aside the verdict. On mo.
ton of the prosecution the Court pro.
ceeded to pass sentence upon the defend.
ant, who stood up to receive it. In an.
swer to the usual inquiry Lewis answer.
ed that he had nothing to say in his
own behalf. Judge Pugh then pronounc-
ed the sentence, which was, that he be
confined in the penitentiary at hard labor
for the term of seven years. Lewis at
torneys Immediately made motion for
a suspension of sentence for sixty days
until they have time to file q petition of
error to the Circuit Court. This was
granted and the petition was taken to
Columbus on Monday to receive the sig
nature Of Judge Pugh, after which it
will be filed with the Circuit Court,
which will be in session at Chillicothe
next week. As the prisoner cannot be
admitted to bail after being sentenced
until after the sentence is suspended by
the Circuit Court. L wis was remanded
to Jail. Judge Pugh stated that he was
under the impression that bill had
been recently passed by the Legislature
under which the defendant could be ad.
mitted to bail without awaiting the
action of the Circuit Court. AS there is
no way of ascertaining the exact nature
of the new law except by consulting the
manuscript in the Office of the Secretary
of State, Judge Pugh agreed to find out
as soon as possible whether the law
would apply to the case of Lewis, and if
he should find it so, to Immediately ad-
nit him to bail. Otherwise he will re.
main in Jail till the suspension of SEN
tence is granted by the Circuit Court,
after which the trial Judge may admit
him to bail. a.H,'s-s...a.' anna
After the above was in type an order
was obtained from Judge Pugh at Co.
lumbus admitting Lewis to bail on Tues
day evening. He was released on the
same bond as heretofore.

A Suggestion in Regard to the Pro.
posed Band Stand.
For the NEws-HERALD.

For the NEws-HERALp.
The band boys have been discussing
among themselves for some time the de-
STABILITY of having band stand some
where on the square which can be used
while playing on public occasions or
during the regular open air concerts,
which they propose giving this summer.
A stand which could also be used as a
speakers rostrum would be of some
advantage, as suggested by the Gazette,
and would probably save Ollie Ross and
his man Friday, good deal of labor
building Prohibition platforms and tear
ing them down again. The objection to
stand of that kind is that it would
become harbor for the loafers that
infest the square of evenings and would
soon become nuisance. Then, too, the
sort ola band stand that the musicians
would like to have should be high
enough to keep them free from all dis
turbance from the crowd as we'll as give
them comfortable seat somewhat pro-
tected from the weather.
How would it do then to put second
story on Uncle Henry Foraker's weigh.
Officer Let the second floor flare little
SO as to give plenty of room and the
whole thing be designed and trimmed
up in some way that would be orna
mental. This suggestion seems to meet
with the approval of the boys. They
think they could play better in some
such place. Their effort at present is te
raise money for this object, and if the
project of having a tournament meets
with success they will have enough IL
erect something that will look well anG
at the same time serve useful purpose
I believe that the time has come to give
the band some encouragement in thi'
matter.

EXCHANGE NOTES.

Martin & Wedding, merchant tailors
OF Hillsboro, o are placing number of
elegant suits here. They make only
first.class work, and at prices consistent
with such work. k.-Blanchester Star.
Mr.. S. A. Turner, of the Hillsboro
Marble and Granite Works, has been in
the city for the past week and taken
several large orders for fine monuments,
etc., from some of our best people.
What is the reason that Washington is
without extensive marble works? There
is no better field in Ohio for such an
enterprise, and thousands of dollars are
taken away from the county every year
for cemetery work, most of which goes
to Hillsboro.-W Washington C. II. State
Register.
The genial, jolly Ellis Pence, of the
Hillsboro Marble Works, was in town
last week on business connected with
his duties as salesman. Ellis is one Of
the most popular men on the road and
sells as much work as any man who
travels in this end of the State. He has
been in the employ of his firm for six
years which is sufficient evidence that
his labors are appreciated by those who
employ him. If you want anything in
his line it will he to your interest to
notify him or wait until he calls.-George-
tOapn Ne,ys Democrat.
Mr.. George L. Garrett, of Hillsboro,
came over on Saturday evening, to look
after the bill of exceptions in the Britton
murder case.
Mr.. Garrett's position as regards his
connection with this now somewhat
famous case, is perhaps as singular as
any case known to the bar of this county.
When the crime was committed for
which Britton has been adjudged guilty
by the Court of Common Pleas, Mr..
Garrett was employed by Britton as one
OF the counsel to conduct his defense,
and he acted in that capacity, participat.
ing in the active trial of the case until
its conclusion, which found termina
ton only day or two before the time
when Mr.. Garrett was to enter upon hiE
duties of Prosecuting Attorney of the
county, to which he had been elected
the previous fall. Had the trial lastee
forty-eight hours longer, he would have
stood in the attitude OF defending mar
in the courts when his oath called upor
him to lead in prosecution.
The conclusion of the trial in Commo,
Pleas, however, did not end the case, fo
there was notice of motion for nev
trial, which being decided against tn
defendant, was followed by an appeal t.
the Circuit Court, so that Mr.. Garrett i
still, we presume, looking after Britton'
interests, although Judge Pugh ha
helped the matter out somewhat, by ap
pointing Branson Worley, the late pros
ecutor, as assistant prosecutor of tn
county. Thus Mr.. Worley still look
after the prosecution end of the cas-
while Mr.. Garrett, the other prosecutor
| and the chief, still continues to loo
. after the defense.-C Chillicothe Leader.
