WHY NEW Ml IS ASKED
Arguments That Were Made Yester
day in the Merolo Case.
REASONS THAT ARB ADVANCED
It I Said That the Diitrlct Attorney
Want Too Far In Uia Address to
the Jury Change of
Venue Refuted.
Murderer Crexenio Merola, firmly
handcuffed and in charge of Warden
Thomas Jay, was brought down from
the county jail to court yesterday after
noon and as he )eered wistfully over
the balustrade of the prisoner's dock
In the corner of the court room, he heard
argument made by Attorney Joseph
W. Brown for a new trial for him.
District Attorney John R. Jones, just
out of a sick bed, opposed the grant
ing of a new trial. -
The three judges were on the bench.
Mr. Brown's argument was directed
principally to set up in the minds of the
court that certain remarks made by
Mr. Jones during the progress of the
trial, were of nature serious enough to
warrant a new trial for the condemned
man. The district attorney was charged
by the prisoner's counsel with having
expressed himself aa not wishing to be
a party to Merola's adding perju-y to
the crime of murder. Another remark
attributed to Mr. Jones was that the
defense could not get a single resident
of Old Forge to come forward and swear
he Is not the rlsht man, and that Mr.
Jones had personal knowledge that the
prisoner's counsel did all they could to
find someone down there to testify in
this manner, but they failed to do so.
Other Reasons Advaneed.
These were the two principal argu
ments for a new trial. Other reasons
given were that the verdict was against
the weight of the evidence and the jury
had not given the defendant the bene
fit of a reasonable doubt. Mr. Brown
argued sreclflcally on the remarks of
the district attorney and said the de
fendant is, entitled' to a new trial from
the fact that Mr. Jones' words created
an unfavorable Impression In the minds
of the jury and made It Impossible to
render the defendant a fair and Impar
tial trial. Mr. Brown also touched on
the charge of Judge Edwards in taking
the consideration of manslaughter way
from the Jury. '
The district attorney, when he began
his argument, was told by Judge Arch
bald that the court would like to hear
from him on what ground he justified
the use of the remarks attributed to
him, as they were serious ones. Mr.
Jones with much warmth and In a sharp
and logical style replied that when he
was elected district attorney he took
treat pains to know how far and no
further he could go In his comments,
and that he was convinced that he had
not overstepped his domain In the Mer
ola case. He assured the court that he
had not made the remark which he did
make, In heated manner; but that they
were made by him with due delibera
tion. He complained that Merola's at
torney had not quoted him correctly
with reference to the failure of the de
fense' In getting a resident of Old Forge
to swear that the prisoner was not
Merola.
Argataent He Old Make.
Mr. Jones said that what he did say
was that It had been proved that Mer
ola lived two years in Old Forge and. ho
rilE
That Wonderful Weber Tone
GUERMSEY
had not put a single witness on the
stand from Old Forge to swear that he
was not the right man. He said that
he had a perfect right to mane this ar
gument to the Jury. In regard to the
other remark that he would not be a
party to the perjury of the defendant,
as he was already guilty of murder, Mr.
Jones said that he had put thirty wit
nesses on the stand; everyone of them
knew Merola and they unequivocally
Identified the prisoner at the bar as the
right man.
When the prisoner was arrested In
Boston two letters were found on his
person addressed to Benianlnnl Mor
ettl, a man who used to board at Joseph
Salvi's house In Old Forge and who
went away a month after the murder.
These letters contained references to
the Merola family and the names of ...e
prisoner's parents In the letters tallied
with the names found on a military cer
tificate in the trunk of Merola In Old
Forge five days atfer the murder.
Under those circumstances the only
hypothesis was that the defendant was
committing perjury. He would use the
same expression again If the case were
tried over. Attorney John T. Martin
was not present during the argument,
which did not occupy more than three
quarters of an hour all told.
The Hums-Smith Cane.
Judge Ounster handed down an order
refusing to grant a change of venue In
the Burns-Smith cases. Argument was
then made on the rule to set aside the
award of $15,000 made by Arbitrators
Fred. W. Fleits, George M. Watson and
Thomas P. Duffy. Arguments were
then mado to strike off the appeal and
set aside the award and the court tooic
the gapers. -
OF A REL1CI01S NATIRE.
Like the ten days preceding Thanks
giving Day, the present period In the
church world is being almost wholly
devoted to rehearsing church and Sun
day school music or In preparation for
the variously planned Christmas tree
or other church functions for Christmas
eve or Christmas night. This condi
tion necessaiilly overshadows all other
usual church doings, and church people
who are not working for Christmas In
the church Itself are devoting . their
time to the house, store or office In con
nection with the pleasure or profit that
this season brings. All this portends
that whatever may be the absence of
the usual week-day . trimmings of
church life, the famine will be more
than bountifully balanced by the good
cheer and good things that the holidays
always bring.
"Jim" Burwlek's Work.
Tomorrow afternoon at 3.15 o'clock In
the railroad branch of the Toung Men'
Christian association will be held the
last of the meetings which nightly for
two weeks have been .addressed by
"Jim" Burwlck, the freight-conductor-preacher
of the Evansvllle and Terre
Haute railroad. Burwlck, without any
attempt at advertising or assumed ec
centricity, which might have been ex
pected In his peculiar combination of
railroader-preacher, has attracted large
crowds, and, what Is better, has brought
about an Unusually large'' number of
conversions. What . he says la ex
pressed In the vernacular peculiar to
the railroader, and this style Is more In
telligible to his hearer than Greek or
fountain talk. His-knowledge of the
Bible and fund of practical argument
have done much In contributing toward
his success. .
