 Death Penalty

Wilkes Barre, Pa. Oct 15-(UP) Attorneys for Robert A. Ed wards, American tragedy" slayer, today began their fight for a new trial on the ground that juror had preconceived belief that the young mining surveyor was guilty.
 In the courtroom where Edwards was convicted of first degree mur- der and sentenced to die for the slyaing of his sweetheart, Freda McKechnie, three witnesses were called by Chief Defense Attorney Frank A. McGuigan.

 When examined by both prose- cution and defense counsel as a prospective juror Luff admitted knowing both the Edwards and McKechnie families, but was said to have stated that he had formed no opinion on the case.
 The witnesses called today, Le- royd Wolfe, Krancis O. Gibbons
 
 and Charles Henness, testified that before the case came to trial Luff had been heard to remark that if he were selected as juror Ed wards will burn"
 When the hearing opened before Judge w. Alfred Valentine no ref erence was made to the seizure of printed copies of Edwards uncen- sored letters to Margaret Grain, East Aurora, N. r., music teacher. the "other woman" in the case.
 Police confiscated several hun dred copies of the books shortly after they appeared for sale on the newsstands here.

NEW HAVEN ROAD IS DEFENDANT IN
 $1O,0OO ACTION
Mother of Ten-Year-Old Lad Killed on, Bridge
 z Is Plaintiff

The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Co. Is named defendant in a $10.000 civil action l instituted today in the superior court by Mrs Minnie Santone Blanchard, who seeks to recover for the death of her 10-year-o,d son, Daniel Santone, who was kill ed when run over by train at the Washington avenue bridge, near Lafayette street.
 The complaint, in which Mrs Blanchard is identified as adminis- that the boy was unable to extri- cate himself from the trestle over which the trtin was to pass.
 The accident happened Oct IA. 1893. The boy with another lad was attempting to cross the trestle when the train appeared and ran over Daniel. The other boy es- capped injury.
 The complaint, prepared by Att torney George J. Crocicchia, alleges that there was clear view 800 feet ahead of the train and that the operators of the train were negli- gent in that they failed to stop the speeding train in time to avoid the accident. The suit alleges also that no approach signal was given.
 The complaint further alleges that there is a high signal tower maintained by the defendant com pany in which an employe can see for over a thousand feet up and down the tracks. It is charged that the tower operator was negligent in failing to see the predicament of the boy and to set up the red signal which would have stopped the train.
 The complaint says the boys head was severed from the body when the train passed over the bridge and that the head was dis- covered about 150 feet beyond the point where the body was struck. The body dropped through the trestle railroad ties to the street below. The case is returnable to court next month.
