ASK new TRIAL
Attorney for Rufe King Files
Motion Today.
New Evidence Is Found, De-
fenSe Lawyers Say.

Lyndon, Kan, Nov. IA motion
for a new trial for Rufus KING. con-
victed here last Thursday of first de-
gree murder, was filed in the Usage
county district court today by A. b.
Crum, one of the Maple Hill man S
attorneys.
The main contention of the defense
in asking a new trial is that new evil
dence has been discovered and that
the court erred in admitting evidence
of the killing of Reuben Gutshall and
William Ringer when King was being
tried on a charge of numbering John
Woody.
1t is probable that the motion will
not be argued before the last of this
month, attorneys Faid. King is now
in Topeka on bond, working at his old
