he gazed on Mckinley Manual Training

women, and yesterday there was only one
row of white-frocked sweet girl gradu-

out attempt at fancy business, but the
simplicity of the graduation gowns was
made extremely attractive by the great
punches Of sweet peas which each Of the
girls wore.
The exercises consisted simply Of mu-

Henry P. Bair, DR.. Babcocks talk. and
the presentation of the diplomas by E. c.

NEW TRIAL IS SOUGHT
BY J. BARTON MILLER

He Was Convicted.

John Barton Miller. convicted last

Georgetown and Of destroying or secret
Ing the books and records Of the asso-
citation, today filed motion for a new
trial on both charges. He declares the
verdict Is unsupported by the evidence
and charges Justice Wright with commit
ting errors Of law In admitting govern
ment testimony and excluding certain
testimony offered by the defense. Other
rulings of the court are excepted to and
error is alleged In the refusal Of instruc-
tons to the jury. asked for by the de-
Tense.
The motion for a new trial is brief and
does not set out the specific errors al
legged to have been made by the presid-
ing justice during the trial.
To Arrest Judgment.
The indictment charging the destruc-
ton of the books of the association as
we'll as the statute on which it is based
is attacked by Miller in motion to ar
rest judgment on the verdict that Miller
was guilty of secreting OF destroying
the books.
Laskey for the defense declare the in
dictment fails to allese that there was
any one, whether a stockholder or mem
Der Of the association, who was inter
ested in the books or any of them or In
any entry therein contained. There is
no allegation, they contend, in the In.
dictment In what manner the estate OF
right Of any person was, could or might
be defeated. injured or altered by the
taking away Of the books. and 1t fails
to name any person whose rights were
or could be adversely affected by the
destruction Of the books.
Statute Declared Void.
According to the defense. the stat.
ute on which the verdict Is based
and known as section $40 OF the
code is void and Of no effect in that /,
purports to denounce as an ofense the
| taking away or conceaIing Of a writing
| whereby the estate or right OF any per.
| son shall or may be defeated. injured OF
altered, without indicating how, In wha,
manner or In what particular any writ
Ing could or might defeat, injure or alter
| the estate or right Of any person, OIL
| the taking away or concealing. the same
could be to the prejudice Of any person
or constitute an offense at law.
| The claim is made that the statute Il
nonsensical in law and void. Counse
point out that as wTded, the law re
| quires that writing itself to be such a,
could injure, alter or defeat the right O
person and not that the taking away OIL
destroying of 1t should defeat or affec
the estate or right OF another.
Hearing on the motions will probably
come up next Friday before Justic,
