Watts Will Get New Trial.-In the Court
of Appeals on Saturday last Judge Pearce de-
livered the opinion in the Watts case. The
appellant was indicted in the Circuit Court for
Baltimore county for the murder OF his wife,
and the case being removed for trial to the
Circuit Court for Hartford county, be was there
convicted of murder in the first degree and
sentenced. It was held that motion to quash
was the proper mode of Directing to the cor
rection by the States Attorney of the misno-
mer Of the party charged with the indictment
to have been murdered, after the adjournment
of the grand jury which found the indictment,
and without their knowledge and assent. Also
that confession by the accused obtained by a
reporter of a newspaper upon the suggestion
that it would be to the advantage of the &C
cused to have the true state of the case appear
at once in the evening paper of the same day
that the act was committed, was improperly
admitted The Court of Appeals reversed the
Judgment and awarded new trial. Mr.. How
ard Bryant is counsel for Watts.
The news that a new trial had been granted
Edward G. Watts was conveyed to him in the
Towson Jail on Sunday and he appeared to be
buoved up with hope Watts has been an ex-
emplary prisoner In early life he was devout
church member. He and his wife separated
and she went to work in the cotton factory at
Phoenix. Watts went there early one msrn-
ing aud shot her to death while she was going
to work. Watts then attempted to kill him
self. but the wound he inflicted was slight
one. The daughter of the prisoner who visits
him frequently, was overjoyed when she
learned OF the new trial.
The first trial of Watts cost Baltimore county
81, 1876 and the second one is likely to cost
considerably more.
