new TRIAL
FOR FRANTzES
IS REFUSED
CONTINUED from First Pcge)

Continued from First Pcge.)
torney General Switzerland repre-
sented the State in the argument.
Mr.. Harman stated his reasons for
asking for a new trial were two
fold. First. he claimed that that
part Of the charge to the jury re-
lating TO acts. statements and dec
lsrstions OF a co-cohspirator was
ambiguous. The second was on thu
question OF the admissability OF
Councilman Arthur Johnsons testi-
mony. Mr.. Hsrman argued that this
should not have been admitted.
Councilman Johnson testified that
he had been offered 5000 by How
ard r. Frantz to hold up payment
for the incinerator. Mr.. Harman
maintained the indictment charged
the defendants had attempted to
bribe members OF the Board OF
Health and members OF Council 10
buy the incinerator. but that this
was not proved by Councilman
Johnson's testimony.
Deputy Attorney-General South
erland replied for the state. In re-
ply TO Mr. Harmsn's second conten-
tion. Mr.. Southerland said that other
defendants are entitled to the portion
of the charge relating TO acts state
ments and declarations OF a cocoon
spirstor.
Mr.. Southerland's first contention
was that proper objection was not
made at the time to Councilman
Johnson's testimony. He also con-
tended that evidence was admissible
in case it Is in the nature OF an ad-
mission. The declaration made by
one conspirator to affect the object
OF conspiracy is admissible and is
on a co-consplrator, Mr.
said.
The Chief Justice in announcing
the decision said that as the court |
feels so clearly that no valid reason
had been shown for a new trial there |
should be no delay in announcing /
the decision, which was then an 1
nounced.
