BRAN MAKES NEW MOVE.
A New Motion Filled in the Case of the
Fuller Murderer.

Boston, January 16.-Counsel for
Thomas Bran, the convicted murderer
of Captain Nash, of the barkentine Her
bert Fuller, today filed motion in the
United States Circuit court for an ar
rest of Judgment.
The motion to arrest the judgment is
based upon the ground of legal defects
apparent upon the record of tbs case. 1t
in su distance says that the judgment of
the court should not be pronounced upon
the prisoner, although found guilty, for
the reason that legal objections lie to tbs
Indictment or else to some other vital
pleading in the case. The specific grounds
relied upon by Bram's counsel in this
motion are not known, because, like the
tending motion for a new trial, this mo-
ton was placed among the private files
of the clerk under order of the court, and
Is not open to public inspection until the
day for hearing it, January 20. The effect
of granting the motion is to set aside the
verdict, or it may be to award verdlo
of acquittaI upon that particular indlot-
mont, although such verdict would not
be bar to new Indictment. The judg-
mant sought to be arrested is the last
judicial step by the Circuit court in the
case, namely, the sentence consequent
upon legal and proper verdict Of guilty.
The melton will be argued before the
court with the motion for a new trial on
January 30.

the Accused.

Chicago, Nov. 23.--Capt. Leonard n.
Lowering, of the Fourth infantry, sta
toned at Fort Sheridan, appeared be-
fore a court-martial at that post Mon
day to stand trial on charge of ''con-
duct prejudicial to good order and mill
tary discipline" The specific charge is
causing Private Hammond to be
dragged over the ground by the heels
from the guardhouse to the Office of the
regimental adjutant, after Hammond
had refused to walk. Brig. Gen. Wade
is the presiding officer of the court. The
first witness was Lieut.. John j. Ber-
nard, officer of the guard on the day
Hammond was dragged. He testified
that he ordered Hammond to appear be-
fore the summary court, and that the
latter refused to go. He exhausted all
means to get the private to go before
the court, and these being unavailing he
reported the matter to Capt. Lowering,
who was officer of the day. He heard
Capt. Lowering swear at the private.
The lieutenant was unable to state posi-
lively to the court whether Lowering
kicked or stabbed the prisoner.
damaging Evluence.
Corp. New, who was corporal of the
day on October 9, but who has since
been reduced to the rank of private,
was the next witness called, and stated
that Lowering, as officer of the day,
sent three men to Hammond's cell with
orders to prod him with bayonets if he
would not walk. "He said he would die
1af ha IL md
then / saw lowering kick him twice and
prod him with his sword"
"How much force did the officer use"
asked the judge advocate.
"He kicked him pretty hard; so hard,
at least, that Hammond felt it and
rubbed his side," was the answer.
"How hard did Lowering prod the
prisoner with his sword?" was the next
question.
"The sword must have passed through
Hammond's clothing" said Private
New, "for he cried: Don't do that
When the prisoner had been dragged
down the guardhouse steps saw Low
ering prod him again. That time it was
in the hand, and 1 saw blood trickle
from the wound"
Sergt. Brainard was called and gave
a minute description of how Hammond
was dragged feet first over the sill of
his cell down the guardhouse stone
steps, hundred yards along the walk,
down over the curb, up again to the
walk, down again and across the road
over opposite the curb, up the steps to
d company's quarters, then down over
the curbs and finally up the steps of the
adjutant's Office.
"How did Hammond look when he
arrived at the court?" asked Col. Hun
ter.
HE was crying when the rope was
taken from his feet" answered the wit
ness. "His pants were worn through
to the skin, and when / returned with
him to the guardhouse he showed me
cuts made by Capt. Lovering's sword.
They were all bleeding and were Deep"
Corp. Ward was the last witness and
his evidence corroborated that of Corp.

A Slight Accident



How often a sudden accident, slip or fall,
gives the back twist and deranges the deli
cate iibers of the kidneys which have their
duties to perform and must be in condition
to perform them. They carry off the poison.
Gus acids from the blood and, if they get out
of order and refuse to do this, the whole system
is affected by the poisonous uric acid carried
to all parts in the blood So it is that slight
accidents, a strain, a fall, or little twist in
the back amounting to very little of itself
often results dsastrously if neglected. Doan's
Kidney Pills are designed to restore the kid
neys to healthy action. That they do this is
easily proven by the statements of the public.
A wellknown lady of Muskegon is Mrs.
Emily j. Andrus, whose comfortable home is
at l6 +. Diana Street. She spoke of her ex-
perience as follows:
"Some time ago had terrible fall ana it
affected me in the back and kidneys. Oh, how

boxes and the result is that am now feeling
all right. The pain in my back used to be SO
intense could not sleep, and often had to use
hot applications TO get ease. Now | can rest
and sleep well. Doan's Kidney Pills have
been a grand thing for me. When an article
