DELAYS BUTTONS SENTENCE.
The Senator'S Counsel Allowed Two
Days to Prepare a Bill of Error
Before Passing Sentence.

st. Louis, Nov. 2S.-On mo
ton by counsel for the de-
Tense, Judge vandeventer in the United
States circuit court Monday morning
postponed the passing Of sentence upon
United States Senator ]. R, Burton,
Of Kansas, convicted early Sunday
morning Of having acted as the paid
attorney of the Rialto Grain and Secu-
rites company before the post Office
department, until. 10 o'clock next
Wednesday morning, when the defense
will present its reasons for asking a
new trial. '.tii7-
In presenting his motion for a new
trial, Attorney Lehman asked that the
court would not give the matter imme-
diate consideration, He said that the
purely mechanical labor Of preparing
the record of the trial, an absolute es-
sential to the preparation Of bill Of
error, would not be completed for day
or so, and asked that the defense be
given a week to present Its reasons
for a rehearing of the case.
Judge vandevanter replied that It
would be impossible for him to remain
in St Louis later than Wednesday
night, but that II counsel thought the
transcript and bill Of error could be
completed within that time he would
postpone the passing Of sentence.
Judge Vandevanter said that 1t might
be Of some assistance TO the defense
to know that in passing sentence he
would impose penalty upon one Of
the counts charging Burton with agree
ing to receive compensation and upon
one Of the counts charging that Burton
received compensation, The court said
that the terms Of Imprisonment would
be concurrent beginning and ending
at the same time. Judge yandevanter
said that whether or not he would i'm
pose . hns was q matter that be would
give further consideration.

who certainly has shown no indica-

1t is true he failed to endorse the
