GRAHAM'S SLIM CHANCES.
Judge FaIligant Has the Case Under
AdviScment

Judge Falligant Has the Case Under
Adviscment.
The question of Brister Grahams
chances for new lease on life rest with
Judge Falligant.
The argument on the extraordinary mo
ton for new trial in this case was heard
before Judge Fallgan yesterday. Mir. w.
e. Morrison appearing for Graham, and
Solicitor General Osborne for the state.
Mr.. Morrison presented an affidavit made
by John Ely, in which Ely gave an ac-
count of the killing as he saw il. This
affidavit, Mr. Morrison held. showed that
Ely was guilty of perjury IN his tesu-
mony at the trial, in that it showed diff
ferent state of facts, and that the dead
man. Ben Wilson, was attacking Graham
with a stick at the time of the shooting.
solicitor Osborne aual.sed The affidavit
presented and compared Il with Elzy's
original testimony. He heh that both
statements were identical, so far as the
facts We're concerned, and by no COMPARE
son of the affidavit and the original testi-
mony could it be shown that Ely was
guilty of perjury. Solicitor Osborne also
presented an affidavit from Ely to the
effect that he had not maze any state
ment in or for an affidavit different from
what he made on the trial He said he
mad never intended to say anything DIFF
ferent, and did not admit that he did
In addition to these matters, Solicitor
osborne called the courts attention to the
fact that Mr. Morrison had already made
one extraordinary motion in Graham's
case and that under no circumstances did
the law allow more chan one such motion
in a single ease.
At the conclusion of the argument, Judge
FaIisant called for the papers, and also
for a copy of Elzy's original testimony
He reserved his decision.

1t is to be hoped that the gov
eminent will not by assuming in
any form the protection of Cuba
be placed in a position in which
it will be compelled to involve
itself in every quarrel which shall
arise between the island and any
foreign power. To stand re-
sponsiblc for the conduct of re-
lations between people scarcely
capable of self government and
all the powers of the old world
will be no small undertaking, es-
pecially if the government is to
be responsible for relations with
other powers which it has moth
ing to do with creating or main
tanning, 1t will be very fortu-
nate If our people shall steer clear
of all entanglements that a peo-
pie entirely unacquainted with
diplomacy or even with self gov
eminent itself will be i'll danger
