Yesterday on the motion for rev
trial of the Donovan forgery case on
the ground that the states attorney
tempered with the jury by treating
them to cigars in card game. The
states attorney produced atfidsvits
from every one of the Jurors that the
charge was not true. But for such
disproof the motion would have had
to be granted. And why not in every

it can be shown that the judge rode
