BANCROFT
Is Anxious For a New
Trial.
The Court VIII Carefully Con-
slider the Evidence.

Ravenna, O., July 21-Hearing for
new trial in the case Of Ohio vs. Wes-
ley Bancroft, convicted of numbering
Farmer Hickox, was had Saturday,
and decision held for review of the
voluminous evidence in this case,
which will be transcribed at the ex-
pense Of the county.
The defendants attorneys attempted
to show that the person seen by Mrs.
Elizabeth Harwick from the Hosmer
house on the afternoon of the murder
was one NJ. l.. Chalker, between whom
and the prisoner there Is a close re-
semblance. and who was in the habit
of crossing country at that point.
The attempt was not successful,
however. Corroborating, in fact, the
previous testimony of Mrs. Harwick,
that it was Bancroft, Chalker himself
testified that he was at his own home,
nearly a mile distant, all the after
noon in subject
The defense also put Mr.. H. f. Dan
iels on the stand, who testified to hav-
ing crossed Liberty street at the point
where the witness, Thompson, thought
he saw Bancroft enter the Crane
woods on the afternoon of the murder.
The court said at the close Of the
testimony that he supposed counsel in
the case were familiar with instances
in which moral certainty existed. but
in which there was no legal certainty.
He said he must have the full testi-
mony and suggested to the attorneys
on both sides that they assent to what
ever delay might be occasioned by
transcribing and reviewing the testi-
mony. Because" he remarked to the
defense in closing, 'if ! were going
to take the moral certainty Of the stu
alton, you might suffer from It,"

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE WISCO N.
SIN CONVENTION.
(From the Springfield Republican.)

NrroH tne SprlnRneiu hepupiichn.D
The decided triumph OF the La
Toilette faction In the Wisconsin
Republican State convention is of
deeper significance than has been made
to appear. Gov. La Toilette is some,
thing Of a radical and in closer SYM
pathy probably with the Bryan Dem
ocracy than Hanna Republicanism.
This has made him an object of sus-
picion and fear to the old Republican
machine of the state, which represents
the conservatism of property and priv
ilege, and when the so-called stalwart
faction, of which Postmaster-General
Henry G. Payne is leader, failed to
prevent La Toilette from gaining the
Republican nomination two years ago,
they set out to break down his admin
istration through the Legislature.
His pet measures of tax reform and
primary elections were either emascu
lated or killed through the action of
the stalwart faction In control of the
State Senate, and from there the stall
warts set out to prevent his renomi-
nation. But the Governor has triumph.
ed over his powerful party enemies by
vote Of three to one; and he has
moreover compelled United States
Senator John G. Spooner to eat humble
pie if he wants to go back to Wash
ington.
Spooner is allied with the stalwart
faction, but his strength In the state
is by no means so circumscribed. Still
the State convention of his party, by a
very large majority, tells him he must
subscribe to the anti-stalwart party
program if he expects TO stay where
| he is. Spooner is the strongest deba-
, ter on the Republican side of the Sen
ate and man the party there can Ill
afford to lose. He was one of the Few
| Republicans who, in the outburst OF
| the imperiallst craze, kept his head
and advised against the Philippine
venture. But party loyalty and In
fluence soon overbore his better judg-
ment, and in consenting to take q
brief for the defense of the nations
course in the Philippines he became
as the traditional apostate who mani
tests more zeal against his own former
position than many of those who are
responsible for the imperialist plunge
The action of the Wisconcln conven
ton does not necessarily mean his re
tirement to private life, even though HI
refuses publicly to humble himself
by subscribing to the La Toilette creed
he may conclude to enter a fight fol
control of the next Legislature indie
pendent of the La Toilette influence
Thus the Republican party In Wis
consln enters the State and Congress
ional canvass torn with factional feel
ing which is likely to cost the party
several Congress districts - not tht
governorship. The chief Significance
of the La Toilette triumph lies in thu
evidence afforded of strong radicc
tendencies existing in the rank ant
