of insanity in Daniel H. Wallace, now
serving 20-year sentence in the fed
Leral prison at Fl. Leavenworth, Kan,
it is announced his legal counsel are
about to ask for new trial. Harold
0. Mulks, one of his attorneys, is
scheduled to come to Davenport. 1t
was stated he would file bill of ex-
ceptions in the case The bill of ex-
ceptions. when filed, will be forwarded
to Judge Martin ]. Wade. 1t means
that Judge Wade will be requested to
reconsider his reasons for not grant
ing Wallace new trial. An appeal
for a new trial which nearly ALWAYS
follows the bill of exceptions, in this
case goes to the circuit court of ap-
peals. which for this district is at St.

after the Wallace trial, was barred
from practice in this division of the
federal court, it is presumed he will
have some local attorney file the pa
pers for him.
