ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. Ex-Governor
Charles p. Johnson, Charles holland
and John w. Booth, Arthur Duestrows
attorneys, have completed their mo-
ton for rehearing by the supreme
court of the motion for a new trial of
the famous case, and it will be for
warded to jefferson City. The motion
will prove one of the sensations of the
year in a legal way. If the allega-
tions contained in it can be substan-
tiated, it will involve the supreme
court in scandal of serious proper
lions. In fact, although the life of
man is involved, this circumstance will
be completely overshadowed by the
gravity of the charges against the
court, or, rather, against the judge
who wrote the opinion (Justice Sher-
wood, for it will raise the question of
the competence of the court and the
legality of it's acts.
Duestrows attorneys virtually
charge that the states prosecutor was
allowed to write the opinion for the
supreme court.
