LAWYERS ARGUE
FOR NEW TRIAL
IN MACCIO CASE
Judge Larew granted a new
trial to Salvatore Maggie early
fhic affornoop

Argument in the case of Saliva.
dore Maggie, recently convicted on
a charge of manslaughter, was be.
gun in Judge Larew's court this
morning on a motion for new trial
! The defense is basing its argu.
ment on charge that members of
the jury, contrary to an order of
the court, went to the scene where
the accident occurred in which A
c. Peck, tourist had been fatally
injured by truck driven by Mag
, gio.
The defense is seeking to show
that these jurors not only visited
the scene themselves but gave in
formation to other members of the
jury regarding what they had learn
ed. The defense holds that as a
result of their statements the vote
of at least two of the jurors was
changed.
During the course of the hearing
this morning G. l. Farmer, one of
the jurors. took the stand and ad-
mitted that he went to the place
with l.. s. Weed, another of the
Maggie jurors. He further admit
ted that he had talked with other
jurors regarding the matter. Cliff
ford Coggins, another juror was
summoned but declared that he
knew nothing of the alleged trip
and had not heard the matter dis
cussed.
l.. s. Weed was called to the
stand but had not been questioned
up until noon today.
The attorneys are battling over
a legal point in the matter, it being
brought out by the prosecution that
a juror can not impeach his own
verdict. The intimation is that
while the alleged disobedience of
the jurors in going to the scene of
the accident would prove good
ground for a motion for new trial,
the court is unable to accept the
testimony of the jurors alone as suf-
ficient evidence to establish it as a
fact.
Thus far the defense has failed to
call any other witness to the stand
to prove its contention that the rul-
ing of the court was disobeyed.
