MISS T. HOWELLS
ASKS NEW TRIAL
Justice Adkins Erred in Ac-
cepting Jury Verdict,
Motion Cites.

Miss Elzina HowellS. 48, who is fac
ing a possible sentence of $50 years
in the penitentiary following her con-
viction on Is counts of an indictment
charging embezZlement and larceny
after trust of $500 from Miss Irene
Biggs and Miss Lillian Girard, nurses,
Toronto Apartments, today filed mo-
ton for a new trial.
Through Attorney Paul J. Sedgwick,
the woman charges that her case was
prejudiced before the jury by the al
lowing of testimony showing that she
had sent the nurses on a trip to Europe
on worthless check with intent TO
leave them stranded.
It Is also claimed that Justice Adkins
erred when he permitted the jury to
return a verdict on all Is counts OF
the indictment, eight of which were
laid IN embezzlement and eight in lar
ceny after trust.
Counsel claimed the two charges are
repugnant and the jury should have
been allowed TO say whether it was
embezzlement or larceny after trust and
not both
A further claim is made for a new
trial because of the failure of the prose
cution to show the presence of fraudu-
lent intent when the money was OBJ
| tanned. The other usual reasons for a
new trial are set out.
Assistant United States Attorneys
William A. Gallagher and James r
Kirkland will oppose the granting Of
the new trial.
