PERHAPS HE ISN'T.
frank White May Yet Show He Is
Not a Vagrant

Attorney w. A Anderson yesterday
filed with City Justice Davis a motion
for a new trial in the case of one Frank
White, who was recently convicted of
vagrancy and sentenced to serve 100
days in the County Jail
The motion sets forth that since the
trial new evidence has been discovered
that the arresting officers, Dolan,
Hayes and Douglas. had been deceived.
and now believe a conspiracy had been
Matched to land White in Jail. and that,
had they known the facts, White would
not have been arrested.
Attorney Anderson requested Justice
Davis to take the matter under advise
ment until he could make further inves-
tigation. and it was so ordered.
