Defense i'm Comn Case VIII Go to Su-
preme Court.


The motion for a new trial. to be filed to-
morrow, will be based on about forty ex.
ceptions to the courts Instructions to the
jury. John b. Elam said yesterday that
some of these exceptions were very impor-
tant. but declined to make them public.
''In the event that We do not get re-
hearing in this court" he continued, I'VE
will appeal, to the Supreme Court of the
United States again. In the meantime we
will try to keep Frank 4coffffi out of prison
on supersedeas, as was done before. We
are in this fight to the finish. Frank Cof-
fin is manly. and his conduct all through
these troubles has been too noble to lay
down now"
Speaking for the government, Special
Agent Frank Hayes said last night: The
government is satisfied with the result OF
this trial. The prosecution feels that Ii
has done all that could be done. and the
jury's verdict is satisfactory. There is no
doubt but that the testimony of Frank Cof-
fin, in taking all the responsibility upon
himself and shielding his brother had
considerable effect upon the jury. There
has been a .,s feeling on the part Of many
ernment. that Percival Coffin was not the
responsible man in these transactions, and
had been made to have sentence suspended
in his case had he been convicted There
has been much sympathy for him."
Schuyler Haughey's Trial.
Immediately after the Coffin jury was dis
charged yesterday expert witness Robinson
went to work on the books which will be
introduced in the trial of Schuyler Haugh-
ey. Monday Judge Baker will go to Evans
vile TO hold court for week, and on his
return will prepare for the Haughey case.
The trial has been set down for Tuesday
Oct. 10. John w. Kern will be retained by
the government. Mr.. Haugheys counsel
Will be John ;. Duncan, Smiley n. Cham
bers and Albert ]. Beveridge. The attorneys
for the defense say the operations of
Schuyler Haughey were similar to those
of Percival Coffin, and they have hopes of
his final acquttal. The burden i'll his case
will be shifted TO the shoulders of his
father. The line of defense will be to the
effect that Schuyler Haughey was young
and inexperienced when his father organ
lied the establishments with which he was
connected and put him at The head of them.
Also, that what he did was under the di-
rection of his father. The attorneys say
they do not think it will be necessary to
bring Theodore Haughey here to testify in
the case of his son.

Troop. Would BE Used.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-The action yes
tersiay of the Legislature of Texas having
rendered it practically impossible for the
Corbett- t-Fitzsimmons fight to take place in
that State, the question has again arisen as
to whether there was any statutory or ter
ritorial law against prize fighting in the
adjacent Indian Territory. Attorney-gen-
eral Harmon was questioned to-day on the
subject, but he thought IL would be mani
festly improper and inIudicious publicly to
discuss what measures the government
would take to prevent a fight in the Terri
tory II is thought. however. to be almost
certain that IL found necessary the United
States troops would be ordered TO prevent
the fight. The treaties and laws of the
United States with the Indians OF the five
civilized tribes are being examined in view
of the reports that the fight will take place
in the Indian Territory.
