E. HI. Kennedy Argues Motion
Before Judge Phelan, Who
Will Decide Soon
JURY WAS PREJUDICED,
Is LAWYERS PLEA
Influenced BY Fact That Defend
ants Counsel Wanted Him
To Plead Guilty

Attorney Edward n. Kennedy
argued motion for new trial for
Leroy Eastwood. before Judge Phel-
an, Monday morning. The court viii
rule on the motion Tuesday prob
ably. He will have William Giefel,
court stenographer, read him the eVr
dence on which Eastwood was con-
victed, before he passes on the mo-
tion.
Leroy Eastwood and his brother,
William Eastwood, entered Charles
Weinert's meat market. No. 2405
Woodward ave, one night In March.
They were discovered robbing the
TIL by Patrolman. now Detective Ed
ward Corbett. Seeing that one or the
brothers was pointing gun at hlm'
Corbett fired, wounding William East
wood severely and gripping him Tor
life. Leroy Eastwood was tried Tor
breaking and entering in the night
time. was found guilty, and was SEN
fenced to hard labor in Jackson pris'
on for from hve 10 10 years. William
Eastwood was discharged.
"The state refused to take charge
OF William Eastwood, and turned
him over TO his poor old mother, who
Is penniless" Mr.. Kennedy told the
court. "She has no means Win
which TO take care of him. Her other
son is in Jackson prison for nVe
years.
"This motion is TO set aside the
verdict Of the court and TO grant Le-
row Eastwood a new trial. The main
contention OF the defense Is that on
the morning OF March IS, when Leroy
Eastwood was tried, the jury was as
sembled In the court room when the
counsel assigned TO the defense Dy
the court made motion that East
woods plea OF not guilty De WIN
drawn and that he be allowed to plead
guilty. Your honor made inquiries OF
the defendant, and his answers were
sufficient 10 cause your honor TO de-
cline 10 receive the plea or guilty
and 10 order the case to proceed. But
fury had heard the plea oil gllllY-
Human nature is the same the world
over. It was hard for the jury to pre-
sumo the defendant not guilty wheh
Il had already heard him plead guilty
This was sufficient TO bias the jury 10
a certain extent, before any evidence
was LAkeu.
"I have secured the affidavit OF one
Juror that verifes my statements
Mr.. Kennedy then read an aildaVlt
by George w. Sykes, No. 226 Sheri-
dan-ave.. a member OF the jury, say
ing that Eastwood's plea of guilty
was talked over by the jury, and cut
considerable figure In its verdict.
"I find no fault with anyone In the
conduct of this case Mr.. Kennedy
resumed. Apparently. however,
there was not sufficient time TO make
the investigation that the case re-
quired.
81 don't believe that the law should
demand that the service which his
mother needs now. Is to be given to
the state OF Michigan Justice is bet
ter served when II is tempered with
mercy"
"Detective Corbett himself asked
the prosecuting attorney TO drop the
case against william Eastwood, whom
he wounded" said Mr.. Kelly. Leroy
Eastwood did not take the stand IN
his own defense. The prosecutor

Boards Expert Declares Only
Chicago Consumes AS Much,
Per Capita
BELIEVES THAT METERS
WOULD REMEDY MATTERS
Plans to Remove About 10000
Cubic Yards of Mud From
Settling Basin

Detroit consumers daily waste mil
lions of gallons of water. Theodore
A. Leisen, water board engineer, esti-
mates the waste to average between
40 and 90 gallons per day per con-
sumer. Last year, the average num-
ber of gallons used per consumer was
l75, which is very high average In
comparison with other large cities,
except Chicago. Cleyeland's average
is about 10 gallons per day, and
Louisville,s from loo TO los.
There is only one way TO stop this
waste of water. and this is to install
meters" said Mr. Leisen, Monday
morning. The rational way to sell
water is by meter. Water is not a
tax: IL is a salable commodity like
coal. bread, milk or any other neces-
sity that we are compelled to buy.
The universal use Of meters will cut
down the waste fully % per cent. At
present, about 40 per cent of the wa
ter consumption is metered The con
sumption of water in Detroit ought
TO be about 120 gallons per day per
consumer
Engineer Leisen is having compar-
ative tests and analysis made of Lake
Huron water and Lake st Clair wa
ter for the purpose of determining
their relative purity.
81 do not think there is very much
difference between the purity of the
water in the two lakes, but the re-
suits of the tests will not be known

Goes on Firing Line In Person
to Battle for Throne to Which
He Was Raised by Powers
INSURGENTS SURROUND
CITY OF DURAZZO
Feared Capital Must Fall Soon
Foreign Marines Are Sent
Ashore

VIENNA, June 15.-Fighting for
the throne TO which he was raised
by the powers, Prince William, of Al
bania, formerly of Wied was on the
firing line today, repelling at the
head OF his troops constant at
tacks from an army OF his insurgent
Mussulman subjects of DurazZo. the
capital.
At the head Of 5000 men, Prince
William, it is said in dispatches re-
ceived here, has beaten of all day
long the attacks of 27 600 insurgents
storm the city at 4 o'clock this morn
ing. So fierce were the attacks OF
the insurgents, however, that it was
doubted If the defenders Of the city
could hold out until nightfall.
Determined to prevent serious loot
ing or massacre in case the city
should fall, commanders OF the In
ternational feet of Durazzo today
landed troops. mostly marines, who
are on guard at the various foreign
legations OF these the Austrian ma
rines are the most numerous.
ROME, June 15-Dispatches re-
ceived here today from Durazzo, AL
bania, say that the insurgents sur
rounding the city in revolt against
the rule of Prince William, OF Wied,
may effect its capture before night.
One report says that Col. Thomp-
son, commanding the princes troops,
was killed during fight with the
besiegers this morning.
Prince William was chosen as
ruler OF Albania, after the last Balkan
war, following the peace conferences
in London. He is 43 years old. and
nephew OF the queen OF Roumania.
He married Princess Pauline, of Wur.
temberg, in 1898.
The insurgents have repeatedly de-
manded that Prince William abdicate
the throne, and he has sent fiat re
fusal He has announced his deter
mination 10 fight az long as his gar
rison can hold the city. This obsti-
macy has merely served to increase
the determination OF besiegers who
now apparently are on the verge OF
overthrowing the princes stronghold.
