one of the quietest days az Meyers

NEW TRIAL
Granted Corwin D. Bach.
tel by Decision Handed
Down by Judge Hole.
THE TRIAL IN OCTOBER

Corwin d. Bachtel, former cashier
Of the Canton State bank, has been
granted q new trial upon the only In
dictment on which he was convicted
b last spring In the columbiana county
common pleas court.
The motion for a new trial was
sustained by Judge w. w. Hole in an
opinion handed down Saturday morn
Ing. The courts decision was de-
pvered in the presence OF County
Prosecutor Upham and Associate
Counsel John w. Craine and Attorney
Nelty and other counsel for the de-
)cnse. The defendant was also pres
Int In court.
After the motion allowing new
Gial was sustained, counsel agreed
that further proceedings would not
De had until the first or second week.
IN October, when 1t Is said the case
will again be tried.
Judge Hole stated as the reason for
ihe long delay in passing on the
mOliOh lHdt lhS iiihOop VI NhO OhhSioi
stenographer Of Columbiana county
prevented her from preparing a rec
brd Of the proceedings, and the
further reason that the briefs or
counsel had only been presented to
him a few weeks ago. The courts
ruling on the motion Is In substance,
rs follows:
JUDGE HOLES OPINION.
"In this case the motion for a new
trial raises numerous questions many
pf them, however, being the same
Mat were ruled upon during the pro-
yress of the trial. SO far as the ques-
Hons of law which were disposed OF
Turing the trial are concerned, the
,ourt, after full consideration OF the
briefs of counsel, is not disposed to
reverse any rulings heretofore made,
Ind at this time will only discuss the
aew questions raised by this motion.
THREE CLAIMS OF DEFENSE,
"Three principal contentious have
been urged by defendants counsel:
First: that the defendant was taken
by surprise by the claim made by the
)tate that there had been an altera-
lion In the date Of certain note Of
lered In evidence. Secondly, that. the
hry, or members thereof, were guilty |
If misconduct In using magnifying |
Jlass while in the jury room. Thirdly,
hat the prosecuting attorney was
guilty of misconduct by reason OF pre-
judicial statements made in his clos
hg argument TO the jury.
FALSE ENTRY, NOT LARCENY.
"Tbe charge in the case at bar is
mat the defendant made false entry
D report to the auditor OF state. and
" course no evidence to show that he
Vas also guilty OF larceny could be
properly considered, nor was such eyi-
hence adduced during the trial.

SALE==KENNY BROS:

the heat OF his argument, so far for
got himself as to directly charge the
defendant with having stolen money
out Of the bank In question. OF course
II appeared In evidence that the bank
had failed and there was evidence
tending to show gross Shismanage-
ment Of the banks affairs, but there
was absolutely no evidence tending to
show that the defendant himself had
committed the larceny. or In any way
profited from his connection with the
bank. in fact the evidence tended to
show that he had suffered loss by the
failure OF the bank In the same way
that the other stockholders had done.
AS has been indicated before the
prosecuting attorney is quasi-judic-
ial officer. The jury knew that he
had access to the grand jury room
and was in position to learn secret
facts not obtained by the general puD-
lie or by other counsel. He tells the
jury that when he uses the word
steal" that he used II advisedly,
which means, according TO the Stand
ard Dictionary, with forethought or
advice, not Hastily"
I'm view OF these holdings | have
very reluctantly arrived at the con-
clusion that the motion for new trial
In this case must be sustained. The
case is one of serious importance, ana
the length OF time consumed in the
trial makes II unfortunate that the
verdict OF The jury must be set aside,
but the court deems II OF more i'm
portance TO preserve the rules and
safeguards which have been adopted
by the courts to insure a fair and i'm
partial trial than to consider any
other question. In making this hold
ing the court does not desire to Sc
verely criticize the action OF the pros
ecuting attorney. He evidently over
stepped the bounds OF his duty In the
heat of argument follwing a protract-
ed and arduous trial.
NO DESIRE TO CRITICIZE.
THAT he knew his duty would ap-
pear clear from the opening senten-
ces of his address and the court quotes |
"fNA Nnlo
guage OF the learned COUNSEL: AT the |
outset OF my argument desire TO say |
TO you that personally or officially |
have no feelings for or against this
defendant. 1 have no prejudice
against him nor no feelings toward
him. And you stand exactly In the
same relation to him as l do. You
and I are here to do our duty. wheth-
er 1t is disagreeable or whether 1t is
pleasant. You have been selected
from among the good people OF Co
lumbiana county to we'll and truly
try, and true deliverance make be-
tween the state of Ohio and the de-
fendant at the bar, and have been
selected by the people OF Stark coun-
ty to present in fair and honest and
straightforward manner the claims OF
the state
1T is much to be regretted that the
zeal of the prosecuting attorney caus-
ed him to momentarily forget the higD
ideals of official duty which he so
aptly stated at the beginning of his
argument"

MARIcoPA TO PUT UP FIGHT FOR

With the return of w. II. Elliott,
deputy mineral surveyor, to Phoenix,
Yesterday, interest is revived in AN old
controversy involving the boundary
lines between Yuma, Mohavc and Mari
copa counties, says the Phoenix Rcpub'
hcan. The chief dispute seems to he
concerning the boundary line between
Maricopa and Yuma counties This IL
presumed to be on meridian line, the
Yuma boundary extending north beyond
the end of the east and west boundary
line between Maricopa and favapah
In other words, three counties come TO-
gctner at one point, Yuma bounding the
southwestern end of YavaPai ms wen
as Maricopa. The boundary between
Yuma and Mohavc is the river know"
as Bill Williams Fork.
1t was contendcd by the haVapa'
county surveyor that the boundary lih''
as fixed between Maricopa and yuma
was about three and half miles 'oo
far west, and that between the northern
Maricopa line and Bill Williams forN
the difference was slightly less py

Mr.. Elliott has resurveyed this line ana
has found that instead Of tareo m''e'
