new trial. according to a decision handed
down yesterday by Judge Mott IN Cen

based on ahldav!ts of three witnesses
against Madden, All three rccdnted
their testimony At the trial and sw"re
before Judge Mott that the evidence

onerated Mr.. deuel. and Mrs. Goldman

trial OF Madden. As a result Frleda
