ary was brought into court at 10
o'clock Tuesday morning to receive

quested by J II. Wise. counsel for

to stand up and read the prelim-
mary portion of the sentence, re-
lating to his arrest, Indictment and
conviction. When the court ask
ed: Have you any legal cause
to show at this time why judgment
should not be pronounced against
YOU Judge Bonnield arose and
presented lengthy motion for
new trial. which alleged % errors
at the trial The principal grounds
assigned were that the indictment
contained two separate causes of
action, was not signed by the fore
man of the grand jury, did not
state that Quilici died within
year and a day from the time he
was shot, and that the confession
should not have been admitted in
the first instance The court re-
lplied by stating that he had passed
ION all the questions raised; that
under the Nevada statutes it was
be signed by the foreman of the
grand jury; that the Indictment
} stated that defendant killed Jean
Quillici by shooting him with a
gun and pistol, which was sufi-
cient. The motion for new trial
was then overruled and denied, to
which order Judge Bonnifield ex-
cepted
For the second time Uric was
commanded to stand up, when the
court inquired:
