Motion for a New Trial
Made BY Attorney
HambitZer
:, the Sensational Craig Case


n Hambitzer, attorney for William
Craig convicted OF rape at this term OF
.ho c;rcuit court, has made motion tor
. new trial and the arguments on the
same will be heard next Monday. The
Grounds for the motion are four in num-
sor. First. that the verdict is contrary
- tbe evidence; second, that the court
erred IN emarking "where was the
nriest?" when the matter OF Annie
Drapio's confessions to the defendant
we're being talk about by the witness, to
Tho preiudice OF the defendant in the
minds of the iurymen; third, that the
written prayers OF Annie Drapio ought
TO have been admitted as evidence on
equal grounds with her letters OF comics
sion. az they tend to show that she had
mania for writing such things; fourth,
that the prosecuting attorney erred in
stating to the jury that the horse driven
nv Craig on January 8 was lame, the
same not being evidence and. to the preju
dice OF the defendants case Ora'e at
torney says that on another trial add
tional facts can be shown that Annie
Drapio wrote the letters used In evidence
Of her own free will and that some
them, together with others containing lik
disclosures, were never mailed to defend
ant, but were found, after her departure
in her room.
In the circuit court Monday the tria
of William Pichie, charged with assault
with intent to rob, ended in the jury RI
turning verdict OF guilty. This wa
the last criminal case on the docket 10
