 The smice box robbers were rather bold returning time and again tu the scene of their pilferug. until. if the three men recently captured are the| persons guilty of this ucfariuus work. they returned once too often.

States Court last week. on the charge
of sending objectionable literature
through the mails. appeared in that
tribunal today, the time fixed for NJ
ing motions for a new trial, and sub-
mtted six reasons why, in his opin-
ion. his client should have new
trial
Mr. Fay filed his reasons with the
clerk of the court. and informed the
court that he would not argue before
the court, but requested that a time
be fixed for some time next week for
court TO pass upon his motions. This
has not yet been done.
Mr.. Fay's reasons for a new trial
follow
1. That there was no legal admis-
sible evidence upon which to found
said verdict, all evidence having been
obtained In violation Of defendant
constitutional rights. ?. That said
verdict was contrary to the instruc-
tions Of the court, in that they were

Of Calling Legislature
Together

An extraordinary session of the
Legislature of Delaware is not likely
to be called for January. and there is
not much prospect of any extra ses-
sion Of the present Legislature. IL
was much talked OF during the last
regular session. principally because
of the necessity for adoption of thc
new Revised Code as soon as the code
commission had completed its work,
but circumstances have made the
completion n, the new code unlikely
fors many months. perhaps nearly a
year.
Governor Pennewill, who was at
the State House this week clearing
up business for Christmas. intimated
that there wsuld be no open session
and that if the Legislature should be
called it would be only for the few
days necessary TO adopt or reject the
new code as recommended as the Re
vised Code of 1912. The Governor is
looking into the subject and. II is
said. has been advised that such "A
session could not discuss the various
statutes they already having been
adopted by a Legislature and signed
by a governor and upheld by the
courts, but could merely confirm or
reject the finding.
