JUDGE HAYNIE REFUSED GRANT MOTION NEW TRIAL
 IN DICK MITCHELL CASE

Three motions for new trials have been presented to Judge Haynie, pre- siding over the session of the Miller county circuit court now in progress. The three cases were presented in behalf of Dick Mitchell, sentenced to three years on a grand larceny charge, which was overruled, but the defendant permitted his liberty under bond of $3,00O, which was made for him.
 The second case in behalf of Law renee Harris, and the third in behalf of Sol Henry, charged with maiming, as result of conviction on which charge he was given one year in the penitentiary. As in the Dick Mitchell case, the motions were overruled.
 It is probable that attorneys for Mitchell will take an appeal to the supreme court in an effort to pro- cure a re-trial of the case. It is now believed that one of the largest num- Der of prisoners ever taken from Miller county to Little Rock will be taken from here at the conclusion of the present courts session.-Four States Press.
