ASK RELEASE Of
J. N. ALBRIGHT
Attorneys Claim Verdict of
Second Degree Murder
Is Invalid

Attorneys for ]. n. Albright made
motion yesterday before Judge W. l.
Fort of the first division of the criminal
court asking that the verdict of the jury
in his case be set aside and the defend
ant discharged. Albright was charged
with the murder of his wife by poisoning
and was recently convicted in the crimi-
nal court of murder in the second degree
and given a sentence Of 13 years in the
pententiary.
The contention of the attorney for ALI
bright is that the statutes make poison
ing murder in the first degree and pun
ishable by death or life Imprisonment, ano'
that the verdica rendered was in contra
diction to the statutes of the state. and
hence was null and void. Judge Fort was
of the opinion that the matter of degree
of murder was left to the jury to decide,
but at the request of the attorneys for
the defendant held up his decision until
next Saturday. The defendant is not
seeking a new trial, and it is understood
has not filed any appeal the motion be-
ing made purely on a proposition Oh law
