three Japanese convicted by jury

the course of justice, although Judge
Lindsay gave them no more severe
sentences than the court below. Yano's
was three months and the others six
months each, the offense charged hav-
ing been assault and battery on a
woman, and that of a particularly
brutal kind.
w. T. Rawlins, counsel for. defend
ants, has filed a motion for a new
trial, the grounds being in substance
as follows:
/. That the court misdirected the
jury in matters of law, specifically as
to the different offenses that defend
ants could be found guilty of under
the complaint.
2. That the court erred in decisions
on questions of law during the trial,
by the improper admission and re-
lection of evidence.
8. That the verdict is contrary to
the law, the evidence and the weight
of evidence, there being no evidence
proving that Kakutani committed AM
assault and battery on the complain
ing witness, Asa, and no evidence
tending to support the allegations in
the complaint against Kakutani.

never complained until a day or two |
before the trial ended, and he had /
only asked for release from further /
jury duty on the order of his physi
clan. Even then he made his request
with evident reluctance, as if fearing
he might be thought to be Sinking a
duty.
After the conclusion of the case then
On trial, the court adjourned yester-
lay morning until Monday out of re-
;pect to Juror Garvie's memory.
