WOULD NOT SIGN.
Foreman Knights Attitude to New Tuck
er Trial Petition.

Lowell. Jan. 3O.-Foreman j. E.
Knight OF the Tucker jury of Westfora
stated yesterday that he would not sign
a petition for a new trial, that he con-
sidered the defendant guilty Of the muir
der, as charged, and that he had had
fair treatment. Mr.. knight considers
the incident closed SO far as be is con-
cerned.
Regarding the matter of a petition
for a new trial signed by the jurors,
several Lowell lawyers, including a JUS
tice of the local court, pointed out, when
questioned about it, that the signatures
Of the jurymen to a petition would have
no more weight than hose of any other
citizens and that neither would have
anything to do with the matter-prob-
ably would not be considered.
The question of new trial viii be
determined in the first instance by the
superior court, and, later, if there Is
an appeal on the question of law, by the
supreme court, and the determination
will be governed by the law, not by
the wishes of petitioners.
A petition, it is stated might influence
the Governor in his action upon the
final decision of the courts, and only
when addressed to him would it have
any pertinency or effect.
