COURT STANDS BY
RACE TRIAL RECORD
But Defendants Attorneys
Managed to Win Point
Another Way.

Another move was recorded in the
proceedings today in the trial of L. G..
Race, convicted Of aiding and abetting
in the displacement and abstraction
OF funds OF the Smith.Race grocery
company and the Citizens Dollar Saw.
ings Bank, when the objection of the
states attorneys to the motion of At.
torney Shaw for the defendant that
the record be amended to show the alb.
sence Of Race during a portion of the
trial, was sustained and the motion
to amend overruled by Judge w. S.
Raymond.
The affidavits that Attorney Shaw
for the defense wished to file in SUP.
port OF the motion to amend the rec.
ord were then filed as in the record to
show that the motion had been made
and overruled and the attorneys for
the defense practically gained their
point which was that the record should
finally show that Race had been absent
during the taking Of some Of the tes.
timony. The previous motion Of the
defendants attorneys to arrest the
judgment In the case which motion
was made at the time the Jury return.
ed the verdict of guilty was also oy.
erruled by the court and the defense
thereupon moved to set aside the ver-.
dict as being contrary to the law and
evidence as shown in the record.
The date had not been set at late
hour this afternoon for the hearing
Of the argument on this latest motion,
but 1t Is likely that 1t will be finished
|as soon as possible so that Circuit
court can adjourn to prepare for the
June term. Should this latest motion
to set aside the vredict be overruied
by the court the defendants attorneys
will likely ask TOR new trial. In case
this Is refused an appeal will probably
be taken.

With new uniforms and armed with

Y. NJ. c. A. league will parade the

between the Indians and Yankees, II
the present plans OF the officials arc

perfected today by the Y. NJ. c. A.
officials whereby the opening game
VIII be one of the best attended and
hardest fought Of the season. Each
player is hoping to have the honor Of
making the first run and the first
hit and the first OF the various other
plays that are commonly mentioned.
1t Is hoped that Mayor Bowen will
give his endorsement to the local lea.
que by pitching the first ball. a band
will be secured to head the street
parade, II present plans are completed
and automobiles will carry the hon.
orary guests of the first game. No ad.
mission will be charged to this game
as the Y. NJ. G. A. players do not wish
to be considered as professionals, and
this will undoubtedly insure one of
the largest crowds of the season.
The game- will start promptly at
$3.50 p. m. and will easily be finish
ed before the twilight causes the bali
to be hard to, distinguish. The work
OF putting the South Side park grounds
In shape for the players will be com.
pleted today and clean attractive seats
will be furnished gratis to all OF the
spectators who would rather sit down
than stand up. Every lover Of the
national pastlme will be welcomed at
the game and the umpire has been
selected after diligent search for a
man who will never mind what the
fans may say Of him. This insures
fair and impartial decisions ON all
mooted points and gives each spec.
tator the privilege to argue as much

as no violent assaults are perpetrat.
