ton For New Trial In Car
mean Case on That Date
NOT LIKELY TO BE SUSTAINED
If the Court overrules the Motion SEN
tence Will Be Pronounced lmmedi

Course, Be Taken-Judse Burnham
convenes Court at Toledo Today.


Judge Burnham has fixed Thursday
morning as the time to hear the mo-
tion for new trial. which has been
filed In the case of state of Iowa VS.. N.
A. Carmean, for ENLIGHTENMENT. The
motion for a new trial was filed short
ly after the jury brought in its verdict
of guilty, as charged in the Indictment.
1t IS not thought likely, by those who
have watched the case. that the court
will sustain the motion for Il new trial,
and should the motion be overruled,
sentence will be pronounced immed-
lately. The case will be appealed to the
Supreme court, no doubt, If a new trial
is not granted.
Judge Burnham went to Toledo this
afternoon. where he convened the Tama
county court. He will return to the
city Tuesday afternoon, and will take
up the unfinished business of the Oc-
tober term Wednesday morning. II
will probably take the remainder of the
week to clean up the probate matters
that have been assigned for the pres
ent term. The jury was excused for
the term Saturday afternoon.

Wednesday morning at o'clock for
sentence. The motion for new trial
on the usual ground of errors, was
argued Saturday afternoon. and was
overruled by Judge Burnham. The
court stated that he considered that the
defendant had had fair trial In every
respect, and that he had been careful
turnout the entire case to give the
prisoner the benefit OF every doubt.
While the maximum penalty for
assault with intent to commit man

years pronounced by Judge Burnhan
when the case was first tried at ths

maximum. A jail sentence and fine
may he imposed as minimum, and
Gathers friends are in hopes that the
life of the defendant since his trouble
will have sufficient weight with Tho

will not be pronounced. Gather has

ated from each and every one of the
charges against him. In fact he came
out of the ordeal with flying colors. In
connection with his office as secretary
OF the New Hampshire State Law and
order League, many charges were
made against Wheeler, accusing him
of taking hrihes, ETC., but none of these
charges was substantiated, and the.
were soon dropped.
On 1894 Wheeler's colleague, Brown,
got into trouble, being indicted by the
grand jury for perjury. When the
case came to trial it was taken from
the jury on a question of law and ths
higher court quashed the indictment.
In 1900 the grand jury, at the Novem-
her term. returned two indictments
against Brown for accepting bribes.
He pleaded not guilty and the case was
continued At the next term of cour;
he retracted his plea of not guilty and
pleaded nolo. The case was continued
for sentence. and at the next term OF
court was marked not to be brought
forward.
wheeler was not connected with his
assistants troubles. however. and tho
II was generally understood that when
Wheeler severed his connection with
Concord aud the State Law and Order
League he was under a cloud, his
friends claim that this Is not so, and
that everything was harmonious. and
that he went from Concord and the
state with clean hands. His arrest
will. therefore. come as a shock to his
