DOBBINS ASKING NEW TRIAL
Attorneys Allege Misconduct by
Attorney General Byers.
NO RIGHT TO APPEAR IN CASE
Undue Influence Exerted Upon Jury
as Result--AIeged Errors of
Court Set Forth I'm
Motion.

That the attorneys for the state were
guilty Of misconduct in the argument to
the jury in that they stated to the jury in
substance that it was the duty of the jury
to find the defendant gully in defense, Of
the good reputation Of the city of Council
Bluffs and the county Of Pottawattamie
is one of the forty-one reasons alleged by
counsel for John r. Dobbins why he
should be granted a new trial in the dis
trict court of Pottawattamie county at
Council Bluffs. Dobbins was recently con-
victed on the charge of larceny of $1,000
from T. w. Ballew, a banker and lumber
king at Princeton, Mo.
The motion in arrest of judgment and
for a new trial was filed late yesterday
afternoon.
1t is further alleged in the motion that
Attorney General H. w. Byers was guilty
Of misconduct in his argument to the jury
in giving his reasons for his appearing for
the state in that such reasons were not
the reasons fixed by law authorizing him
to appear as a prosecutor and that said
reasons were presented to the jury for the
purpose of influencing the jury to believe
that there were charges of official cor
rupton in connection with the defendant,
and that 1t was the duty Of the jury to
find the defendant guilty in order that
there might be vindication Of public Of
fcals.
The defense also contends that the court
erred in admitting the evidence Of the
Mikes" George f. Castle, w. H. Bedford,
John Hermelbrecht, G. A. Nelson and
George Brown as to other alleged swim
ding transactions in which Dobbins was
not implicated and with which he had no
connection
The instructions Of Judge Green to the
jury are attacked in twenty-three particu-
lars and the indictment itself is attacked
on the ground OF being insufficient and
unat the charge as made I'm the indict-
ment does not charge the defendant with
the crime Of larceny committed in the man
ner in which the state claims the same was
committed"
No date has as yet been set for arguing
the motion Of a new trial,

OMAHA BALLOON FLIES WELL
Lieutenant Haskell Pilots Dirigible
Over Fort.
SHIP SCARS TO DIZZY HEIGHT
Signal Corps AerOnauts Remain in
Air Eighteen Minutes and Land
SafeIy--Officers EIated
over Success.

Aerial navigation in the vicinity Of
Omaha was given market impetus Wednes-
day afternoon when an army drigble
balloon quartered at Fort Omaha was
safely plloted over the grounds by Lieu
tenant william Haskell and Sergeant Smith
of the signal corps.
Soaring gracefully over the fort and en-
circllng the park, attaining at some times
a height Of 800 feet, the dirigble attracted
considerable attention in the vicity Of
Fort Omaha and ecipsed all records for
flights in this vicinity. It is estimated
that the aeronauts Travelled ten miles
through space during the afternoon trials.
Lieutenant Haskell not only demonstrated
his mastery over the dirigibe in rising
to dizzy height but brought the flyer to
earth at the starting point near the balloon
house At all times he was in perfect con-
troll Of the alrship.
Three flights were made during the af-
ternoon, the first one at 4:1O o'clock On
the first trip the aeronauts remained in
the air eighteen minutes, coming to earth
only as a matter of practice The other
flights were Of ten and fifteen minutes
duration.
Everything worked splendidly during
the trials" said Lieutenant Haskell, when
the dlrigible was housed for the night.
I'VE flew through space at a steady gait
and at no time did the engine bak or go
back on u.s. During several stretches
through the heavens we must have been
80 Ofeetin the air, but our average height
was probably 800 feet
Descent Made Safely.
TT was all very simple. We rose easily
from the balloon house and on our first
flight sailed over Miller park, returning
safely to the forth. We came down Just
as easily as We went up, with the big

While there was more consumption, of open shop
pie yesterday at restaurants and quick lunch
ters than last week, the effect of the strike was
still felt in many places. The leaders the strik-
ing piemen gleefully proclaimed that the efforts
OF the strike pickets had kept the strike from being

Association that the strike was being steadily
broken. President Henry c. Paradies of the Bakers
Employers Association said last night: I'VE took
into consideration when decided to break the
strike that the union pic1ets would be busy, and
that also out of the large number of applicants for
positions there would be some who would not suit
We had 10 discharge some OF them for ncom-
potency but easily filed their places"

sand union pies had been sold for the independent
employers by volunteers among the strikers

unions. said that the Journeymen Bakers and Con-
fectioners' International Union had agreed to aid
the strikers by equipping a plant with twenty pie
ovens for baking union pies on the cooperative
plan.
