ing that he had newly discovered evi-
dence which he was sure would re-
verse the verdict rendered by the Phil
lips jury.
His Efforts availed nothing. Judge
Scoheld overruled the motion for q
new trial, stating that he saw no reas-
on why disposition should not be made
OF The case according to the verdict
Of the jury.
The Judge then asked the defendant
TO state why sentence should not be
passed upon him. Phillips arose and
addressing the Judge stated that he
obiecte dto sentence being passed up
on him at this time for reasons stat
ed by his attorney; declared he was
not guilty OF the offence as charg-
ed in the Indictment and asked the
lenlency of the court saying that In
case he received long sentence and
his case was not reversed in the high
er courts. he would leave the peni-
tentPary ol dand broken in spirit and

In few well-chosen words. Judge

In part:
"Tt Is a singular coincidence that

convicted of a similar crime In this
county. should be found In such pro-
xlminity TO burglar tools, nitroglycer-
inc. five revolvers and other other in
struments with which criminals make
war on society"
The Judge went on to say that the
defendant had made NO effort 10 ex-
plain these discriminating clrcum+
stances and that he owed an eXplana-
tion TO the court, showing that there
was no criminal intent in his con-
nection with these instruments Of
