Pigg Motion Is Argued.

A.. E. Crane of Holton and George
Hayden, attorneys for Ransom Pigg,
who was convicted in the district court
of stealing a considerable sum of money
from his cousin, argued the motion for
a new trial for their client before Judge
Dana this afternoon. One of the chief
grounds raised by Pigg's attorneys for
a new trial was that an error had been
made in the certification of the papers
in the case by the clerk of the court
of Topeka. ]. J. Schenck, county at
torney,. opposed the motion for a new
trial, and argued that the error, if
there was any, was not of such char
acter as to warrant the granting of
new trial. Judge Dana took the matter
under advisement.
