HEARING FOR new TRIAL.
THE FI0HT FOR BRAN STILL
CONTINUES AT BOSTON,
Jurymen's Acts During and After the Trial
We're Ruled Out-End May Come Today.

Boston, Jan. 22.-The fight for a new
trial for Thomas Bran was continued
yesterday In the United states court in
the federal building with unabated zeal
on the part OF counsel for the defense.
The hearing was begun promptly at 10
o'clock a. m. judges. counsel and de-
PENDANTS all being on hand In good time
What with jurors and newspaper men
on the stand and a constant fire Of objec-
tions to the admission OF evidence. the
days proceedings were very interest
ing.
The chief point that came out at the
morning hearing was that the statement
made by Juror Briggs when being ex-
amined by Lawyer Cotter as to his
qualifications for service on the jury. to
the effect that he had not either formed
or expressed an opinion on the case was
at variance with the fact. The evidence
OF two witnesses went to show that be-
fore being drawn on the Bran jury he
had expressed his belief In the guilt OF
the mate of the Herbert Fuller.
Another interesting fact brought to
light by the testimony OF John f. Bent
ley was that Juror Harry j. Booth, who
Is employed by the witness. could not
be found.
The principal features of the afternoon
were the admission of evidence proving
that the marshals in attendance on the
jury ate their meals in the jury room at
the same table as the jurors, after the
case had been finally submitted. and that
the walters who brought the food from
the restaurant were in and out OF the
jury room for period varying. accord
ing to Deputy Marshal Ruhl. from Is to
80 minutes &C each meal.
Somewhat OF a sensation was caused
near the close Of the afternoon session,
when Mr.. Cotter asked for an adjourn
ment at p. m. until this morning at 10
q. m. to give him an opportunity Of serv-
ing subpoenas on two witnesses resident
in Cambridge, whose testimony he be-
lisved would have an important bearing
on the fitness of one OF the Jurors to
eerve on the trial.

WANTS $4,000 DAMAGES,
PELE0 A. WALTON ALIENATED A
YOUNG GIRLS AFFECTIONS.
Her Father Has Brought Suit and the Pro.
ceedings Create a Sensation.

The village of Fishervill, says the Paw
tuxet Valley Cleaner, is stirred up over
the actions Of Ezra w. Atwood Of Paw
tucket, son-in-law of Peleg A. Walton,
one of the oldest and most respected citi-
zens of this village. About 10 years ago
Atwood married Ellen Walton, daughter
of Mr.. Walton, and shortly after re-
moved to Pawtucket.
All went well for time, or until At
wood got out of work, then Mrs. Atwood
had to take in washing and do other odd
jobs to keep the wolf from the door. Later,
Mrs. Atwood was taken sick and sent for
her mother to take care Of her. Mr.. and
Mrs. Atwood decided to break up house,
keeping and she returned to her parents
home here about two years ago.
From that time to the time Of her death
last December, she has been in poor health
and continually under physicians care.
Mrs. Atwood died on Dec. 3 last and her
husband attended the funeral. At that
time he seemed very thankful for the
kindness shown his wife by Mr.. and
Mrs. Walton, and when few days ago
a deputy sheriff from Providence made
his appearance here with writ for
Mr.. Walton's arrest on the charge
Of alternating his daughterb anection
from her husband and naming 5000 as the
damage, he wrought up feeling In the
village that will probably not subside for
some months to come"

Four Young Men Are Now Under Arrest Fol
- Oiviag II Without License.

Lynn, Mass, Jan. 22.-The arrest of
four men last night is the confirmation
from police headquarters OF a spicy and
sensational incident in this city Wednes-
day night. The men are Frank E. Berry,
a shoe cutter. Otis Page. a painter. Err
nest r. Haskell and William H. Holmes,
dealer In shoe supplies, and the charge
against them is that of promoting an
amusement enterprise without license,
In Nontrose Temple hall.
This entertainment was designed to
be q reproduction on q small scale OF the
now famous Sseley dinner, recent In .
cident in New York life.
AS the story is told, q number OF the
members of the Montrose lodge Of Good
Tomplars arranged for a smoke talk.

ty." 1t was quietly given out that There
would be q merry time, and about 16O
men were present. But the police had
been quietly informed that the enter
tainment. would exceed the bounds OF
decorum and possibly decency. Accord
ingly Sergeant OBrien and q squad
went out to attend the party. But they
missed their way for some time, by rea-
son of misdirections, reaching Montrose
hall Just when the fun was waxing fast
and warm.
The main feature of the party, and the
one which has caused trouble for some
of the men at ii, was two young colored
women who gave a few of the dances
which were features of the Midway
Plaisance. Their first appearance was
in sheets, in lieu of more substantial
apparel. Their success as dancers was
instantaneous, and encores were in de.
mand. More than this. something more
artistic for arts sake was called for
and committee appointed to wait upor
the young women to see IL their other
numbers might be danced without
sheets The dancers acquiesced, on con.
dition that art should have its reward
by a contribution from the audience
1t was just at this stage when the Off
