The motion for new trial argued I've
fore Judge Butler ten days ago wa:
denied in the West Side court thu
morning for the reasons appended. nn''
the famous prisoner promptly sen
fenced.
Judge Butler had scarce announced
his decision ere Albert Il. Foote. coun-
sci for Downen, arose and announced
his exception to the courts decision
and expressed his intention of taking
an appeal to the supreme court. AS
sistant District Attorney Hayes there
upon moved for the immediate sen
tencc of the prisoner Downen. who
appeared In court unshaven and weary
from n night of unrest, listened in
tcntly as Judge Butler calmly dis
cussed the case prior to announcing
his decision. A noticeable chang,
came over the face OF the convicted
criminal when 1t became apparent that
there was not the remotest possibility
OF his obtaining a new trial. His face
paled, his jaw dropped and an expires
sion of unutterable detection possessed
him.
He arose like one in dream nnf
slowly tottered from the prisoners box
with the apparent decrepitude OF n
man of 80 when the court pronounced
his name and asked him to step for
ward. With bowed head and down
cast eyes Downen humbly faced the
court as he was asked II he had aughi
10 say why sentence of death shoulc
not be pronounced.
After n few seconds hesitation hr
replied In indistinct tones while his
frame shook with suppressed excite
ment: II have nothing to say excep,
that am innocent of this muI,ier"
Judge Butler then sentenced him to
be hanged.
