New Trial Is Asked.

Brainard H. Warner, defendant in tn,
libel suit instituted by United States At
torney Daniel W. Baker, which resulted il
a verdict of $4,000 damages for the
plaintiff, has filed motions in the Dis
trict of Columbia Supreme Court for new
trial and for arrest of judgment. through
his attorney. j. j. Darlington.
The motion for a new trial is made on
the ground that the verdict is contrary to
the evidence ; that it is contrary to law
that it is contrary to the instructions of the
court that the damages awarded are ex-
cessive, and that it was based on errors of
law in admitting and excluding testimony,
in granting, modifying and rejecting prof
fered instructions, and in over-ruling OBJ
jections to comments made in argument to
the jury.
Arrest of judgment is asked, the papers
declare, because of the fatal defects appar-
ent on the face of the declaration stated
to the court because no basis is laid in
either the indictment or the cOlloquim of
the declaration to admit of the construc
ton of the article in the suit by the court,
or any construction of libelous or action
able character; because the declaration
does not allege that the Washington Jockey
Club, or bookmakers, or any one interested
in gambling at the race track were sources
from which the plaintiff. by reason of his
official position, or otherwise, might I'M
lawfully or Improperly obtain money; be-
cause the declaration does not allege that
the words complained of in the article were
written or published with reference to any
illegal or improper obtaining of money by
the plaintiff.
Arrest of judgment is asked further, the
papers declare, because the declaration
does not allege that the words complained
of were written or published with reference
to the nonprOsecution of the race track
gamblers or with reference to the perform
ance or nOnperformance of any official
duty owing by the plaintiff; because the
declaration does not allege that the words
of were written or published
with reference to the obtaining of money
at all, or with reference to the Washing
ton Jockey Club. or its race track, or
to gamblers or to gambling at the race
track, and because of other defects on the
face of the declaration.
