PLEA FOR NEW TRIAL.
The Patrick Case Likely to Be Again
Brought Forward.

New York, Feb. 2.-Notice of a mo-
ton for new trial in the case of AL,
bert L. Patrick. on the grounds Of.
newly discovered evidence, was served
on the district attorney.
The motion is returnable Febru.. nv
9. The principal ground urged on the
motion is substantially that new evil
dence has been obtained to show that
William M. Rice did not die OF chloro-,
form poisoning, but instead died n nat
ural death, and Jones. the valet, since
his release here has made many state
ments to persons in Texas to the effect
that he never killed Rice. One of these
statements, all of which appear as
sworn affidavits. is that Jones said he
would return to New York and plead
guilty to charge of perjury if he was
promised only light sentence.
The notice includes many affdavits
and statements by physicians who sig
Nifty their willingness to testify for
Patrick if n new trial is ordered.

NORFOLK MAY BE IN LEAGUE.
State Baseball Association is to be
Formed-Five Now In.

Lincoln News: partial canvass
of the baseball situation in various
Nebraska cities as preliminary to
the formation of a state league In 1907
induces the prediction that such an
organization will soon make it's bow.
G. s. Sherman, a newspaper man in
this city, has just returned from ten
days tour of various cities and towns
and reports a healthy interest in the
state league project. The five cities
reasonably certain of being included
in the circuit are Beatrice, Hastings,
Grand Island, Kearney and Fremont.
For the sixth city, South Omaha, Falls
City, Fairbury, Columbus, York, Nor
folk and Superior have been sugge 3ted
as possibilities, and the town offering
the best inducements as to financial
support will likely be chosen to com
plete the circuit Council Bluffs, Iowa,
is also a possibility.
The present plans provide for a sal
airy limit of $500 or 5000 a month, each
of the clubs to deposit a sum of mon
ely as a guarantee to finish the season,
the deposit also serving as a forfeit
in case any of the clubs exceed the
limit of salaries fixed by the league.
A meeting to perfect a preliminary
organization is to be called in Lincoln
within the next two weeks. At this
meeting officers for the league are to
be chosen and necessary action taken
to apply for admission to the national
association of baseball leagues. This
latter step will permit the various
cities to begin the work of securing
managers and signing players full IT,
tie to the services of the latter being
fixed by the protection afforded by the
agreement governing the national as
sociation.
Practically all of the five cities of
Beatrice, Hastings, Grand Island
Kearney and Fremont have had their
fill of Independent ball. No sooner is
strong club organized than it is raid
ed by the leagues, which hire the more
capable players and leave the indepen-
dents to whistle for their trouble and
also the money spent In assembling
their teams. Operating under a mod.
est salary limit, under the national
agreement and with compact circuit,
the chief objections to independent
ball would be overcome. Meanwhile
the rivalry engendered by a state
league would attract crowds to the
games and work for the general bet
terment of baseball in all of the towns
included in the circuit.

THE MATING INSTINCT.
Not Proof of ImbecIity for an Old
Man to Take a Bride,

Sioux City, Iowa, Oct. 1.-"Yielding
to the mating instinct" even at the
age of II years with ones first wife,
with whom one had lived So years,
cannot be accepted as proof of imbe-
cility, declares the Iowa supreme
court.
BY this decision Charity Dean of
Cerro Gordo county, retains posses
sion of 100000 Iowa farm bequeathed
her a year after her marriage to
George Dean, the before mentioned
septuagenalan. The latter's two sons,
Frank and Arthur Dean, tried to break
the will leaving the 5O-year-old bride
without home. Judge Ladd in writ
ing the decision says.
His hasty marriage should not
stamp him as peculiarly weak-minded
Undoubtedly it was in bad taste and
might well have been criticised by
the sons of his former wife, with whom
he had lived fifty-two years, and by
his neighbors. But yielding to the
mating instinct, even under such cir
cumstances, cannot be regarded as
conclusive proof of imbecility."
