In the Fifth Ward conspiracy cases was
filed with the Chester County Court to
day by J. pan! McElrec, of counsel for
the defendants.
Judge Ilnuse granted four rule, two
on each of the bills of Indictment on
which tho defendants were convicted.
These bills charged conspiracy to violate
the Shcrn law and conspiracy to preent
a fiee election. One lule, which applies
to both bills, Is to show cause why a
new Ulal should not be granted An
other rule, which also applies tt both
bills, i to show cause why there should
not be an arrest (f judgment
Judge Hau'se gave counsel for the
Commonwealth until October 1. to siiow
cau-e on both rules. This date is only
temporary and subject to change. Dis
trict Attorney ltotan, and W. A. Gray,
chief counsel for the defendants, hae
not agreed yet as to a date on which
the motion for a new trial Is to be
argued. They will not esnfc-.- until Mi
Gray returns from a. vacation.
If they fall to fix a date the Couit will
set the time. Tho alleged attempt to
bribe William P. Weaver, one of the
Jurors In the Fifth Ward cases, will
form the principal basis for the applica
tion for a new trial. .
