Motions Overruled.

Upon the cOnvening of court this morn
ing Attorney C. A. Douglass, for the de-
fense, made motion for new trial. which
was Immediately overruled by Justice
Pritchard. He then made a motion for ar
rest of judgment, which was also overruled.
Justice Pritchard announced that he was
ready to impose sentence and asked the
attorneys for both the defense and the
government if they cared to discuss the
amount of fine or character of penalty
which should be imposed.
This is a very serious and important
matter" said the court. land l would be
glad to listen to any argument you would
care to make"
Attorney Keigwin of the United States
district attorneys Office was the only rep
reseptative of the government present at
that iuncture.
Where is the district attorney" asked
Justice Pritchard.
Recovering from his surprise, suggest
ed Mr.. Maddox.
IF he is recovering, he is doing more
than we can do a0ued Mr.. Douglass, and
the bailiff raped for order.
Mr.. Keigwin said the gravity of the Of
ferse demanded full penalty on each of the
twelve counts of the Indictment, or total
of twenty-four years Imprisonment and
fine of Sl20'0Oo.
Mr.. Douglass objected. He declared the
court had no power to impose penalty on
more than one count of the indictment. He
said there had been only one conspiracy
alleged, and that no one contended the
same conspiracy had not extended over
the entire period covered by the Indictment
Mr. Tagsart, who had put in an appear
aEce by this time. contradicted this, and
the argument continued until 1920 pm,
when the court took recess until 2:15 pm
Mr.. Taggart. during the course of his re-
marks, urged the court to impose fun SEN
tence in each of tie twelve counts arguing
tEat the jury had returned verdict guilty
as indicted He suggested the sentence
be so arranged that each imprisonment
should take effect a the expiration of the

Declares It an Outrage.

This is outra geous. If the court please"
shouted Mr Douglass. The number of in
dctments depended altogether upon the
mental attitude and mental activity of the
government counsel. They could have
made fifty-siN counts, or 2,0 counts. if they
had cared to further divide up the alleged
overt acts Of conspiracy. On this ground
they could have demanded a penalty of 112
years in prison and a fine of $4,000 If
your honor please. | call this an absurdity"
The justice said he wanted time to con-
slider law appertaining TO the case, and re-
cess was then taken.

Mr, Douglass Makes Statement.


The morning session of the court con-
vened at 1928, but it was 11:10 before there
were enough attorneys in court to beg
proceedings. Mr.. Douglass announced that
prior TO noting appeal to the Court of
Appeals of the District of Columbia he
would make two formal motions one Tor a
new trial and one for an arrest of tudg-
ment. Because of the peculiar status OF
Samuel A Groif. he having been declared
innocent by the senior counsel for the gov
ernment. his name was not included in the
two motions. His case will be taken up
later by his special attorney. AS before
stated, both the motions made by Mr..
Douglass were overruled and executions to
the overruling noted.
The reasons given for the motion for a
new trial were: First, that the verdict was
contrary TO the law and evidence; second
that the statute OF limitations should have
acted as a bar; third that the government
was not defrauded out of a penny; fourth
that Machen was not influenced in the ex-
ercise of his official duties; fifth, that no
more fasteners were purchased than was
needed by the government and that no
excess price was charged the government:
sixth, that the fasteners could not have
been purchased for less, and seventh. that
the justice erred In refusing to admit GER
tain testimony.
The motion for arrest of judgment was
based on the ground that the allegations
as set forth in the indictment do NOT CON
sttute fraud. even assuming that the ale
cations be admitted by the defense Mr..
Douglass characterized the verdict as be-
ing indefinite, vague and legally defect
1ve."
Views of Defendants.
Before the court convened the defendants
walked up and down the halls, looking
much refreshed since the trying scene of
last night.
Good morning. Mr.. Machen how do YOU
feel?' asked friend of the former postaI

piled Mr.. Machen.

REMOVING PREMATURE WRINKLES.
II am too young to have as many
wrinkles on my face as ! have. They
may be the result of recent severe
illness, but Whatever caused them,
want them removed. How shall | go to
work7-Mrs. L..
Wrinkles which come at very early
age are due to some peculiar facial habit,
unconscious or otherwise. If you are a ner-
vous, over-animated woman, constantly
overworlxing the delicate muscles, learn to
control yourself. A person who forms the
MISUNDERSTANDING habit Of expressingytin
pantonnine with eyes and jerks of facial
muscles every thought conveyed in speech,
literally wears out her face at a very
early age. BY a rigid force Of will cult
vate quiet expression. Refraining from
| needless contortion will lesson the strain
and, in a measure, assist in correcting
| evil already done. I fully realize that this
| is not an easy task, but it can be done If
| you will set earnestly at work; then and
only then will massage yield lasting re-
suits. Deep lines in the face after severe
| illness need occasion no serious concern,
as they are due to the wasting away of
| the fat cells beneath, causing the skin to
become habby and wrinkled. The best
remedy for this is to resort to massage
| and good skin food, to assist In build
| ing up the tissues. After bathing the face
with warm, soapy water, rub in pure
unguent literally with the finger tips.
After five minutes wipe away all surplus
and exercise the muscular tissues by US
ing a massage roller this will also in
duce rapid circulation, a wonderful beau
| tifier in itself, and restore the contour Of
| the face. The pressure must be very light
and rather slow. If the skin seems quite
dry after the massage, lightly annoint
again with the urguent, which will be
absorbed during the night.

HYGIENlC EXERCISE
FOR WOMEN

Muscular exercise is indispensable to
good health; but the amount Of it that
is required varies with age, habits, en-
ploment and constitution. Most women
who are free from organic disease are
greatly benefited by properly directed
exercise. Few muscles are exercised by
those in daily office work, and the
others remain comparatively idle. Ex-
ercise under the direction of a physician
who is specialist in therapeutic ply
steal culture acts as restorative both to
the wearied muscles and to the ex-
hausted nervous system Of women ia
tigued, or whose systems are run down.
Invalids may profit by such exercise,
and remarkable cures have been directly
attributed to hygienic exercise. No
other method of known treatment is SO
effectual as systematic hygienic exercise
under a skilIful instructor. In these
days of deficient breathing and excess
i've lung disease, especial attention
should be directed to the strengthening
of the muscles of the chest and abdo-
men, increasing the chest measurement
and lung powers; strengthening the
heart IS action, stimulating the circula
ton, not only righting the wrongs with
the system but really preventing dis
ease, by putting the system in a condi-
ton to ward it off.
