Especial Dispatch to the TRIBUNE.l
Boston, Feb. 12.-The judges of the
United States Circuit Court have again
denied Thomas Bran new trial.
Judges Colt and Webb, after consider
ing the case submitted to them Wednes-
day, decided that the affidavits did not
present new evidence OF sufficient import
ance to justify them In giving the defence
an opportunity to place 1t before Jury.
Messrs. Cotter and French have now
done all that 1t is possible for them to do
for Bran before the Circuit Court, and all
they have to depend upon are the excep-
tions, which will be taken to the Supreme
Court of the United States.
Judges Colt and Webb will pass upon
these exceptions, and il they are allowed
by the Supreme Court Bran will get new
trial.
II new trial Is not granted by the Su-
preme Court, the duty of the Circuit Court
will end when the sentence of death is
pronounced.
When Bran heard the decision OF the
court today, he broke down completely.
His last hope seemed to have fed.
