LITTLE HOPE FOR
FORMER ICE KING
Slender Legal Technicality Only
Chance for Charles w. Morse
Escaping Long Prison Term
Motion for New Trial on Ground
of Jurors Misconduct De-
MED Bank Wrecker

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Only tech
nical legal shadow now stands be-
tween Charles w Morse. banker and
one time ice king, and a 10 year SEN
tence in the federal prison at Atlanta.
Judge Hough in the United States
for a new trial. but Martin W. Little
ton, his counsel. announced that one
more stand would be taken. Tomorrow
he will move in the circuit court for a
writ of error If this Is denied Morse
will begin the new year serving his
sentence for violation of the national
banking laws. the supreme court of
the United States having previously
refused to, interfere in the case
CHARGE AGAINST JURORS
Littletons recent application for a
new trial for Morse was made on the
ground that the jury was improperly
guarded and that some of the jurors
drank to excess in the trial.
With respect to this charge the court
holds that the fact that the jurymen
were in the custody of secret service
men instead of regular deputy mar
shals was well known TO both counsel
and jurors when the trial began. The
court also notes that more than year
has elapsed since Morse was convicted
and sentenced.
AS to the drinking charges Judge
Hough says:
Legislation must advance a good
deal before prisoner may claim to be
entitled to a jury of teetota1ers in
New York. at all events"
Judge Hough points out that it was
by direction of the court that the
jurors be permitted to lead their
usual lives" and that the affidavits
submitted by Morses counsel showed
merely that in the entire trial only 20
bottles of liquor and some individual
drinks had been consumed by the jury.
NO ONE INTOXICATED
And it is not pretended that any
one was at all intoxicated" adds the
court All parties agreed, the memo
randum continues, that no liquor was
served to the jury after the case had
been given to them.
''The same juror who has deposed for
the defendant as to the drinking hab-
its of the jury, says the court, 'is by
the defendant alleged to have been
himself so sodden with drink as to be
incapable of clear, cool and undis-
turbed Judgment"
As to the charges that the jurors
were permitted to read newspapers
with hostile accounts of the trial
Judge Hough said:
This case was dull: it took long time to
exhibit necessary preliminary facts; newspaper
there is evidence that they were so hostile or
biased as even probably to affect the minds OF
men quite. able to perceive their incomplete.
daily journals by jurors Is unlawful, this point
requires no further consideration.

Trial

Every technicality known to the ad-

this city is being raised in behalf of
Michael Joseph Conboy. the former
captain of police charged with the
murder of Bernard Lagan

posed a motion to set aside the infor-

two technical grounds-first that Con-
boy had not been legally committed by
a magistrate, and second, that the in
formation was not signed by the dis

AS the attorney for Conboy wished
an opportunity to argue the point a
continuance was granted to Friday. II
the motion is overruled, and if some
new technicality is not made use of.

The railway had admitted the over
