NO NEW TRIAL
 FOR WHEATLEY
FOLLOWING LONG ARGUMENTS IN CIRCUIT COURT JUDGE ov-..
 ERRuLEs THE MOTION.
Case May Now Be Taken to the Stu preme Court Under Contention
 of Error in instructions.

Rufas Wheatley, recently tried in circuit court for first degree murder, following the killing of Bud Robbins and Murt Waycasey, and convicted of manslaughter with punishment fixed at two years in the penitentiary, was yesterday afternoon denied a motion for a new trial in the case after long battle of argument by counsel for both sides of the case.
 Every member of the trial jury which had returned the verdict against Wheatley, was placed on the stand and each testified that there had been no outside influences per mittej to interfere with the verdict they had arrived at in the concluson of the case.
 There had been rumors that Juror Van Camp had made a statement pre- vious to going on the jury that the Wheatleys ought to be convicted, but MT. Van Camp stated on the stand yesterday that if ever he made such a remark he had no remembrance of it. and that he only slightly remem. bered ever discussing the case at the time.
 Allegations that Deputy Sheriff Walz had been in close relations with the jury were also made in the motion for a new trial, it being set forth that Walz was relative of Waycasey. who had been killed by Wheatley at the time Robbins was killed. Walz testified that his wife was a fourth cousin of the Waycaseys, and that he did not even know this relationship until recently, and that lie felt as friendly to the Wheatleys as to any members of the Waycasey family. Sheriff Houpt corrobDrated the testi- mony of Walz as to why he went In the directions he did to summon ex. tra jurors, it being anticipated that they could be secured south and east of the city with greater ease. It had been charged in the motion that Wsiz had gone to Sulphur township to get jury where Waycasey formerly re. sided.
 Judge Teague, in arguing the mo. ton, emphasized the instructions Judge Evans had given the jury in the case, charging they were confus. ing instead of being an aid to a jury in arriving at proper verdict under the law and the evidence. He picked the instructions to units with rare legal ability. and his constructions were supported by frequent quota tions from supreme court decisions. Judge Teague made a splendid argu- ment in behalf of the motion. and convinced many of his hearers that there was sufficient technical error in the courts instructions to cause re- versal in the supreme court review of the case. e7 -rt
 Prosecuting Attorney Means and Judge Cobb and Colonel Henderson answered the arguments of Judge Teague in convincing manner and at the conclusion Judge Evans anno-inc ed that the motion for new trial had been overruled.
 It is likely now that Wheatley will be duly sentenced soon and then a stay of sentence will probably be granted until the case can be taken ho the attention of the supreme court

MT. David Warfielu will be seen for he first time in Hot Springs on Satur- day. November 20, for one perform ance only. There is no use going into details regarding Mir. Warfeld, for everyone knows all about the greatest of living actors and his great success in "The Music Master"
 The New Orleans Picayune has the following to say of the attraction, which has just finished an engage nent in that city:
 David Warfield last night at the Tulane Theater in "The Music Mas ter" with divinely gifted fingers touched every cord of love and sorrow and awolSe even the sleeping echoes of Ia thousand sentiments and the sweetest harmonies of life.
