NOT FILED
NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN
THE BARNES MURDER
CASE.

Nothing has been done yet i'll the
matter of the new trial and the ap-
peal in .he Bud" Barnes case. Mo-
tion fur Il new trial has oecn illed.
but the affidavits supporting the case
OF the defense nave not been filed
and in all probability will not be filed
this week Until they are filed the
motion cannot be argued, Barnes has
not been sentenced, as this formality
cannot be complied with until after
the motion for a new trial is settled.
After the motion is argued it will
be either granted or denied. In the
latter case it is understood that Barnes
attorneys will take an appeal to the
superior court.
The affidavits had not been filed
this afternoon and the attorneys for
the defense said it would probably be
next week before anything could b.
done in the matter.
Barnes is taking the wait quietly
and is showing no more concern now
than he did before he was convicted
of murder in the fist degree.
