What the Motion for New Trial for
Alex. Tate. the Murderer, Brought

Yesterday. as announced in the Vir-

ed murderer of Allie Malone, appeared
In. the County Court before Judge w. n.
Portlock, and argued n motion pre-
Tiously made for Il new trial for his
client.
The young gentleman based his mo-
ton, and his argument. too. on the
ground that the verdict, guilty of MUIR
der in the first degree" was contrary
to the law and evidence in the case.
Mr.. Martin, during his argument sub
mitted q petition which contained many
names. asking the court to grant to
the names were those of three of the
jurors who sat in the trial and concur
red, as Il matter of course. in the YER
diet rendered, which means death to
the convicted man. judge Portlock at
the conclusion of Mr.. Martins argu-
ment. declined politely. but firmly. to
consider the motion entered by counsel
for Tate until the court could have the
jurors in question before him. that he
might understand from them their rca-
sons for Joining in Il petition to the
court asking n new trial for Tate.
Just what VIII be the outcome of Mr.

for his client cannot. of course. be stat
ed; neither can any one. for mo-

the three jurors will have in securing
