advertisement Saturday the motion
of Jules (Nicky) Arnstein and 9TH
ers, for q new trial on a charge of
conspiracy to bring stolen securi-
ties into the District. His decision
will be announced next Friday.
Attorney T. Norris Wampler, on
behalf OF Arnstein and his alleged

against his clients in the indict-
ment-to wit, the alleged conspir-
acy to bring bonds belonging to H.
p. Goldschmidtt & CO.. OF New York

tended that the evidence in the case
showed that the bonds did not be-
long to the Goldschmitt Arm but
had passed on to a customer OF the
hrm.
The attorney also tried to show
the court that section 81 of the
penal code. relating to conspiracy
to defrsud the government. did not
