NEW TRIAL MOTION
IN TOWNLEY CASE
Lawyers for Leaguers Allege
100 Errors Made in County

ST. PAUL, Manufacturers
for A. c. Townley, president of
the National Nonpartisan league
and Joseph Gilbert, former Leag
ue employe, filed a motion for a
new trial in Jackson county dist
riot court last week, alleging
100 errors by the court in the
trial of the case last summer,
when the two men were convict
ed of misdemeanor under the
state sedition act.
Judge Dean, who presided at
what has been termed the most
farcical trial in the history if the
state, received the motion for a
new trial. No oral argument was
made and the court reserved his
decision.
That Judge Dean will deny the
motion for new trial, making
an appeal to the supreme court
necessary, is confidently ex-
pected by the attorneys of Town
ley and Gilbert. Both before and
since the trial JUDGE Dean has.
bitterly assaulted the Nonparti-
san league.
The l09th error cited includes
improper conduct by the trial
judge in "a separate counts. Ex-
ceptions were taken to sarcastic
and prejudicial remarks made
by the court on various occasions
during the trial and his threat to
fine the League mems counsel
for contempt of court" One of
the errors cited relates to the
refusal of Judge Dean to allow
Mr.. Townley to make the closing
statement to the jury in his own
behalf. Others relate to the un-
fair rulings of the court, making
it impossible to impeach the
states star witness, Ferdinand
Teigen, then and now under a
federal indictment for violation
of the espionage law. The courts
action in refusing to permit at
torneys for Townley and Gilbert
to offer evidence showing the
loyalty record ofsthe League and
its officials in the war also was
cited as an error.
That the supreme court will
order a new trial in the event
that Judge Dean denies the mo-
ton made last week is the great
opinion of attorneys who have
followed the case. Judge Dean
has admitted as much himself
In vitriolic statement at the
conclusion of the trial after
County Attorney Nicholas had
recited the poem, Il remember,
l remember, the house where /
was born, Judge Dean declared
that it would be a miracle if
there were not errors in the re-
cord. He explained this curious
statement by saying that the at
terneys for Townley and Gilbert
had "irritated" him.

OLD SORGHUM MILL
STARTED UP AGAIN
Old Mill, Near EIdoradO. Brought In
to Existance By Civil War, Again
Resumes Grinding-Heips Fight
High Cost OF Living,

Sharptown. Md, July 14.-Near
Eldorado on the farm Of J. J. Me-
Gordy, may be seen a sorghum mill
of very primitive construction dat
ing back perhaps rs years. Until
recent years this mill has been idle
and considered OF little value, owing
to the low cost of molasses, but
since the high cost of molasses dat
ing from the opening of the war these
primitive mills, many of which are
located on the MISUNDERSTANDING
peninsula, have been cleaned up and
made to do good work and manu-
facture high-grade sorghum.
Last season Mr.. McGordy was able
to run his mill from early fall, when
the cane ripened until the end OF the
year.
Mr.. McGordy's mill is perhaps the
oldest in this section, having been
used before the Civil War near
Laurel, Del 1t is large and rough
in construction, but it turns out a
fine quality of sorghum juice. The
burrs are made of steel, the frame OF
wood and the pan or tank of copper.
There are three compartments in the
pan. Juice flows into the tank as it
is crushed from the cane. Each
compartment is heated to a certain
degree of heat, which is determined
more by the appearance of the juice
than by any register of the degrees.
1t takes four hours to fill the tank
with juice The tank holds from so
to so gallons The sorghum may be
used for the same purposes as mo-
lesses; in fact if the proper machin-
cry were employed it could be crys-
talized into sugar.
This mill can be operated by two
men and four horses. The horses
are attached to a long sweep and
move around in a circle. The mill
will burn about one cord of good
wood in making 100 gallons of sor-
ghum. If the cane is heavy it re-
quires hard pulling for the team and
it is now a very expensive way OF
getting sorghum. The manufacture
ers have notified the growers that
the price of making sorghum will be
so cents a gallon, due to the advance
in wood, labor and in horse feed.
An acre of good land adapted TO
the growth of cane win produce cane
enough to make from 100 TO 200 gal
Ions of sorghum. The acreage this
year is larger than was ever known
in this section. This is brought
about by the high cost of sugar and
molasses.
