THE MOTION OVERRULED
Court Denies the Application for New Trial
in Funk Case.
Notice Given of nm AppenI-sentence
Suspended Until Further Hear
ing Can He Had.

Justice Cole late yesterday afternoon
overruled the motions for a new trial and
in arrest of Judgment in the case of Frank
W. Funk, convicted several weeks ago of
the murder of William H. Brooks. The
United States attorney suggested that sem
tence be imposed, but Attorney Baker, for
the defense, entered objection, at the same
time giving notice of an appeal to the Court
of Appeals. Attorney Baker explained that
the preparation of the record of the case
Will be task of some magnitude, and his
time would be curtailed should sentence be
passed Immediately. hearing upon GER
tain matters relating to the appeal will oc-
cur next Monday, and at that time the de-
fondant will probably be sentenced to be
hanged.
AT the hearing yesterday, which began
shortly after O'Clock, Attorney Wolf read
to the court the affidavits of George Busey
and Tom LyleS, setting forth that the after
noon of the Brooks murder, about $50
o clock, they saw a Uan and woman in
Washington circle, acting in a manner that
attracted the attention of the atlantis.
These affidavits. it was claimed, corrobor
ated the statement of Funk that he met
Sophie Brown at Washington circle at the
time stated, and took from her the money
that had prompted the murder of her father.
Attorney Wolf pointed out that in aft
davit prepared in the office of the United
forth that he could not remember the day
or date he saw the couple in the circle. In
the affidavit Lyles furnished the defense 1t
was emphatically declared that the occa-
sion was the afternoon Of the murder of
Mr.. Brooks. When the matter was called
to the attention of the United States attor-
neys office it was admitted that Lyles had
said he saw the couple in the circle the
afternoon of the murder, thereby definitely
fixing the time, and that the same had been
inadvertently omitted from the statement
prepared for the signature of Iyles.
The prosecution argued that the state
ments of Busey and Lyles strengthened
the governments case more than they
helped the defense. The court held that the
newly discovered evidence did not consti-
tute sufficient ground to warrant the grant
ing of new trial.
Funk was entirely unmoved by the de-
ctsion against him. and appeared calm
as though he was merely a spectator ina
stead of the most important character in a
proceeding with his life as the stake.

BITTEN BY A DOG.
Emp1oye of the Pound Victim of Skye
Terrier,


William T. Young, colored one of Pound
master Einstein's assistants, was bitten
through the thumb by a skye terrier yes
terday when he was about to put the ami
NAL in the wagon. Young lives at No. Al
c street northwest. He was at once con-
veyed to the Emergency Hospital. After
the doctors had dressed the injury he re-
stunned his work on the wagon. Since the
pound service was increased by the en-
ployment of additional men and the put
ting on of two more wagons almost every
man in the service has been bitten. Police
man Grove who was detailed to accom-
pany one of the wagons, once suffered in
jury. few days ago he caught a dog
which had escaped the net, and although
ne succeeded in holding 1t for the employees,
the animal bit both his hands.
The three wagons are still in the service
and while the number of stray dogs with
out muZziS or tag has been reduced. there
are enough of them at large to keep the
men busy. Yesterday forty-nine dogs were
tmpounded. Among them was one which
belonged to a health department official
He had to pay 81 for the return of his I'M
muZZled canine.
The restraining order issued against the
poundmaster to prevent his picking up the
dog that has tag 1876 and is not muzzIed
will be heard next Friday. Until the court
hears the case this animal will not have to
wear a muZzle. Seldom a day passes that
some citizen does not complain because his
dog Is captured. Poundmaster Einstein is
anxious that the Commissioners should
adopt regulation to prevent certain an
noyances- 1t sometimes happens that boys
on bicycles follow the wagons or ride
ahead of them and prevent the capture of
dogs

FAVOR THE MEASURE,
The COMMISSIONER Comment on Sen.
ate Bill 2724,

ate Bill 2724.
In q report to Senator Mcmillan, chair
man Of the Senate District committee, on
Senate bill 2s24, relating to certain railway
corporations owning or operating street
railways here, the District Commissioners
state that they know of no reason why
favorable action should not be taken on the
measure.
"The object of the BILL" say the Com
missioners, appears to be one of manage
ment for the several lines of street rail-
ways in the District which have associated
themselves, and it is believed that such OBJ
Ject should be encouraged. The Commits
sioners see no objection to the form of the
bill. 1t is believed there is some opposition
to that portion of the bill which relates to
the purchase of stock of those holders who
do not assent. Inasmuch as the question so
raised does not involve any interest which
is strictly municipal, the Commissioners
respectfully suggest that they do not deem
1t within their province to advise your conn
