Montgomery Gibbs. will. through their
counsel. Judge Hardesty, apply for a

on Saturday It was decided to make the
appeal as soon as preliminary details
are arranged.
1t Is said that the sensations created
by the trial will be mild compared with
the afIidavits which will be read on the
motion for a new trial.
Eight witnesses for the defense have
been secured who will establish, Judge

secured who will indicate that Gibbs
was killed by another person. This will
constitute the new evidence.
Judge Hardesty feels very certain
that new trial will be granted on this
