PARKS'S FATE DEFERRED.
AT Request of Rar'd-Gof to Pass
Sentence T'O-mOrTOzC.

Sau-ae! ]. Parks the convicted walking dele
gate Of the Housesmiths and Bridgenen's
Union Local No. q was not sentenced yesterday
~ Recorder Cor, as expected. Assistant Dis
.rict Attorney Rand asked that Parks's sen
tence be deferred, and Recorder Gon said he
would postpone sentence until tomorrow
morning.
When Parks was arraigned metlon mace pS
the prisoners counsel, Eustace & Robinson
was granted. It was that the records Of
the case be made TO show that henr!
Farley and Bernard Lynch had been called by
the prosecution and not examined. Mr.. Rand
eyplained that they were simply called TO see
81 they were IN the court at the time and were
not needed as witnesses
Next Mr. Rand asked that Parks's sentence
be deferred until the October term OF the court.
lie said that there were at present three other
indictments standing against Parks and other
charges were being investigated. He explained
that II was the District Attorneys intention 10
prosecute the accused walking delegate on all the
charges because public interests required that
the whole series Of charges be thrashed out MI
Rand argued that if Parks was sentenced on the
present conviction and sent prison he would
then be beyond reach and could not then be
secured even as an unwilling witness against
others charged With perjury.
Mr. Robinson said that the reasons set forIh
by MI. Rand were not sufficient grounds TO
seek an arrest Of Judgment which under the
Penal Code was mandatory, the two days after
conviction having elapsed. He therefore asked
for an immediate delivery OF Judgment in his
clients case.
Recorder Gof said that he did not hold with
1fr. Robinson's contention. and added that the
matter which the District Attorney had brought
70 his attention required careful consideration
and for that reason h would postpone SEN
renee until tomorrow morning. The Recorder
told Bir. Rand IN the mean time to submit
r,apers containing the facts concerning the other
indictments and charges under investigation
Parks, who was very pale, was remanded back
20 the TOmbs.
Mr. Rand yesterday showed communication
from one Of the jurors which he received In his
morning mail The juror said that some OF the
newspaper accounts of how the jury stood be-
fore the third and final ballot, which convicted
Parks. were incorrect. Several newspapers said
that the first ballot showed TO for conviction
and the second to 4. The Juror said that the
first ballot stood 10 to 2 for conviction, the
second ballot il 10 ! and that then dinner was
faken. After returning from the restaurant a
third Hot was taken, which was unanimous
for guilty.
Parks slept we'll Sunday night Early yester-
day he was busy reading large amount OF

Judging from the action of the blacksmiths and

demands made for an increase Of wages, and niles
as to overtime and other questions, which had
been carefully considered by both sides.
The agreement provides that during the term II
