WANTS A NEW TRIAL.
Radford Alias Randolph Has Friends to Intercede
 For His Life.

Washington, Oct. S.-United States Consul Horran at Medellin, Columbia, reports to the state department that the American, Radford, is still in cus- tody there but otherwise his treatment is good. The consul expresses the opin- ion that the prisoner will be granted another trial. Radford is citizen of Alabama who was convicted In Colom- bia of murdering a native, and was sen- tenced to death. His friends here and in Colombia, believing that the killing was justifiable, have made strenuous ef- forts to secura' a new trial for him be- fore a cempetent tribunal and the con sul believes this effort will succeed.
 It is now generally conceded that Rad ford is none othar than Judge Randolph, of Montgomery, whose defalcations there made him a mark for prison walls had he but remained long enough to have had trial. His sudden disappearance from the capitol cr:ated much surprise though in some circles it was known that his accounts ware in bad shape.
