The motion has been prepared, based
on the grounds that Juryman Jerome A.

examination that he had not formed or
expressed an opinion as to Mr. Graham s
guilt or innocence, did in fact express an
opinion in 1918 and again in 1919, and
therefore was disqualified to sit as Juror.
Aridavits of three persons will be fled in

persons avowing that he heard Juror

w. MURRAY CRANE, DIES
AT HIS DALTON HOME

Dalton, Mass. Oct 3.-W. Murray
Crane, former United States senator
and for years a prominent figure In Re-
publican politics, died yesterday at
Sugar Hill the family home. The M
mediate cause OF death was given by
Mr.. Cranes secretary as sleeping sick
ness, following inflammation OF the
brain.
Once governor of Massachusetts and
for two terms United States Senator
from that State, winthrop Murray
Crane had been a well-known political
Figure for IA generation. For many
years he belonged to the Inner circle
of Republican leaders and helped by
his political shrewdness to mold the
careers Of several presidents as well An
of lesser statesmen. An outstanding
chara cteristic Is the fact that he at
tanned eminence in public life without
being an orator,
Although he served eight years in
the Senate it was said OF him that he
never made what really could be called
a "speech" in that body. The successor
OF Senator Hoar, whose wit and elo-
ouence rang through the halls OF Con-
gress, Cranes chief claim to distinc-
ton was that Of silent leadership and
OF a party mediator.
On moro than one occasion In the in
terval from 1904, to 1918 when Republi-
can differences developed and party
measures were endangered. Senator
Crane demonstrated his ability as a
harmoniser and by using his persuasive
powers In personal interviews with
other Senators. with whom he was
popular as well as feared, restored

said that ne wns in favor of the League
Of Nations, but preferred to take his
chances on the league with Senator
Harding rather than with Governor Cox.
The statement quotes Mr.. Crowell as
follows:
"Now that President Wilson is retir-
ing from active political life it Is wise
for his supporters to pause and take
stock of the situation. have always
favored League of Nations and am
sorry we did mot enter 1t long ago. The
Democratic party, however. has no
monopoly ON the league. Indeed the
present Democratic administration has
tailed to get this country into the League
Of Nations in spite of the fact that Il
per cent of the Senate were In favor of
il. Nor does the opposition to the league
lie wholly within the Republican party
many prominent Democrats having con-
sstently opposed 1t.
