MAY GET NEW TRIAL.
Attorneys Think They See Chance to
Get Mckay Off.

1t is possible that R. E. Mckay may
not go to the penitentiary or the re-
fOrmatOry for the crime of larceny
by embezzlement of which he was
found guilty by jury nearly two
weeks ago. Mcnay was before the
court Monday morning for sentence
and at that time his attorneys en-
tered a motion for a new trial and
arrest of judgment. The principal
question involved is whether the
crime comes under the general lar
ceny act of 1909 or under special
act passed by the 1911 legislature
defining larceny by embezzlement
for appropriating insurance pre-
miums by an agent of the company.
The law is not perfectly clear on
these points and the court took the
matter under advisement until next
Monday.

Ollie James puts it pointedly
and forcibly to the State Com
mlttee. To an outsider he GER
tainly seems to have the logic of
the issue on his side.
The Courier Journal, not az
customed to intrude in the details
OF party administration, and cary
ing not a rap what the methods
OF selecting party nominees may
be, so that it be fair and repre-
sentative of the masses of the
party, has attempted to take no
part in the question of a conven-
ton or primary this year. But
when the committee, determin-
ing on a convention in prefer
ence to primary for guberna-
tOrial candidates, declined to call
the primary also for senatorial
candidates, the Courier-Journal
commented on what appeared to
be an inexpedient Inconsistency.
1t may not have been inexped-
lent. The Courier Journal is not
in the secrets of the committee.
1t does not pretend to know the
reasons which governed the
committee in this course. They
may be good and satisfactory
reaso ms. But if they are the
public, like the Courier-Journal,
does not know it. The party at
large does not know it. Cannot
the committee enlighten US all?
Mr.. James seems to make a
good case If the committee.
with a word or two of explanat-
on, can make a better, it would
seem to be to the interest of
everybody concerned that it
should do 80.
The. Courier Journal offers
t an open mind and open columns.
