New Trial for Clifton Asked
new trial has been asked for Fred
Clifton. The motion for the new trial
was filed in the district court yester-
day by Attorney W. G. Mott, repre-
senting the convicted negro. Clifton
Is now in the county jail awaiting
transportation TO the state peniten-
tiary to which place he was sentenc-
ed to serve a life sentence for the
murder Of his wifes mother, Mrs. E..
len Mudd. The new hearing is asked
on the grounds that the sentence is
excessive and not warranted by the
evidence and that the court erred in
several instances IN not permitting
certain evidence TO be admitted in
the trial and in not ruling out one
juror because of his racial prejudice.
