THE ROLLINS CASE.
Judge Weber Has Not Yet Filed
His Decision.

The motion for a new trial in the
ease of the State VS.. Lester Rollins,
under sentence OF ten years in the
Saltwater prison for carnal abuse,
was before Judge Weber Thurs
day morning, and it occupied all of
the morning session. Judge Web
Der took the motion under advise
ment, and up to the time of writing
this article on Tuesday morning no
decision had been filed in the case,
but it is generally believed that a
new trial will be denied.
D. A. Stuart alone appeared for
the defendant, Lester Rollins, who
Was in the court room during all of
the proceeding, Mr.. Olson of Spring
field being i'll at his home and being
unable to be present. Mr.. Stuart
read all of the affidavits and all of
the motions for a new trial, the full
synopsis of which was published in
the last issue of this paper, and then
argued that while the jury might
have been justified in bringing in a
verdict for attempted carnal abuse,
which could not have resulted in
more than a naxium sentence of five
years, it was not justified in bring
ing in verdict of having committed
the crime. He then contended that
the conditions were such that Rol
Inns could not have done more than
make the attempt; and hence was
entitled to new trial. Mr. Stuart
went over the ground thoroughly
add his arguments were considered
we'll made and worthy of some con-
sideration.
He was followed by Mr. Clague.
who presented all of the afidayits in
rebuttal denying misconduct on the
part ofthe jury, misstatements on the
part of witnesses. and he then argued
for enforcement of the sentence and
for the denial of the order granting a
new trial.

in corner, it had only two sides.
but every visible detail was complete

could be carried in an ordinary dress

it looked like an ordinary business es-
tablishment, with desks, ratings, maps
on the walls, safe in the corner and

folded together and slipped into clos

the curtains were pulled down, and the

sleeping apartment. By that means
the poor dupe was never able to find
