Supreme Court.
MUST SERVE HIS SENTENCE
Application of Capitol Architect
For New Trial on Charge
of Conspiracy to Defraud
is Denied.

Harrisburg, Pa. May 24.-The SUI
preme court affirmed the decision Of
the superior court, which upheld the
action Of President Judge George Kun
KEEL, of the Dauphin county court, in
refusing a new trial to Joseph NJ. Hus-
ton, of Philadelphia, the capitol archi-
tect. The opinion was per curriam and
was delivered by Chief Justice Fell.
Judge Kunkel refused a new trial
last fall and an appeal was taken to
the higher court.
Huston was tried year ago on the
charge of being a party to the conspir-
acy to defraud the state in the fur
convicted after the jury had given a
verdict of guilty of defrauding the
state, and the jury was sent back.
The sentence imposed in the Dau-
phin county court by Judge Kunkel,
and upheld last March by the superior
court and now by the supreme court,
was that Huston should serve from
six months to two years in the east
ern penitentiary and pay fine of $500
and the costs of the prosecution.
The opinion in full was read by
Chief Justice Fell as follows:
1.-THE order allowing this appeal linn
tied the argument to the assignments
of error which relate to the actions Of
the court of quarter sessions on send
ing the jury back for further deliber-
atoms after a verdict of guilty of de-
frauding the commonwealth had been
presented to the court and the fore
man of the jury had attempted an ex-
PLANTATION of the verdict in colloquy
between himself and the trial Judge
after a consideration of the whole
colloquy as it appears in the report
er's notes of the case a majority of
the court are of the opinion that the
judgment appealed from should be af-
firmed on the opinion of the superior
court. Judgment affirmed"
Huston was not in court. The ap-
peal on which the decision was based
was taken on March 25 last in Phila-
delphia and argument began there on
