il is expected that the principal ar
g1fnents for the new trial viii be
that new evidence has been disCov-
cred, that the defense was rushed into
a trial without having time 70 make
preparation. that at the time of the
trial two valuable witnesses for the
defendant could not be secured. and
that Congressman Thomas W Hard
wick, one OF the defendants counsel,
was unable 70 be present because Of

Attorneys for the defense also will
argue that the Grand Jury which in

presented the case to the Grand Jury,

stating at the tine that he thought
defendants counsel had had sufficient
time to prepare the case.
In the event Judge Hammond de-
c!ines to grant a new trial the case
will be appealed to the Supreme
Court, and unless IL decides to send
the case back to the Superior Court
of jenkins County, the defendant will
be compelled to serve the sentence

lands are not in a solid and compact
body. The bulk of the land so far
leased is scattered over the western
part of Potter county from the north
to the south border of the county. Mr..
Fox has made earnest efforts to lease
the lands near the site of the well that
Is being drilled. but the owners of the

COMMITTEE WITHOUT POWER
TO COMPEL TESTlMnNY

Pierre, S. d., July 22.-The action
OF ex-state treasurer Schamber in re-
fuslng to talk about his administration
before the state Investigating commit
tee further than to give his name. resi-
dence and occupation, has disclosed the
fact that this committee really has no
power to compel anyone to testify on
anything. 1t has been learned that
there is no penalty for refusing to obey
their or answer questions.
n this will undoubtedly cut short the
investigation of the committee so far
as It's work is concerned where in
formation is wanted other than docu-
mentary evidence already i'll possession
of the state.
Schamber having settled with the
state according to the official records
takes the position that he Is not under
obligation to anyone to further talk
about the administration of his office.
1t is very likely that the work of the
commission will be greatly shortened
by the discovery that the committee is
powerless and that there is no law for
compulsory testimony. The fact that
no penalty was prescribed makes the
law under which the committee is
operating something of a joke.
