i to his advisers.

sion on Wednesday evening a com
mittee was appointed to promote

SEEK NEW TRIAL
FOR TONY PALMO
Counsel Charge That His Con
viction Was Due to Errors
of Court at Trial
Wllkes-Ilarrc, Sept. 5. Tony
Palmo, convicted of first degree mur
der for cutting the throat of Benny
Myskowskl at Plains in the night of
January 27, sat it. court yesterday
for over three hours while his coun
sel, Joseph F. Cohan and A. P. Con
ni(T, argued and pleaded reasons for
a new trial in his behalf. The pris
oner, while thinner and paler look
ing than at the time of his trial,
seemed bouyed with the hope that
he would receive another chance for
his life.
Judges Fuller, Garman, Strauss
and Woodward were on the bench
and followed the arguments care
fully, at t times interrupting the at
torneys to ask questions. At ad
journment they took the case under
advisement and will announce their
decision later. The attorneys for
the defendant are hopeful that a
new trial will be awarded.
Assistant District Attorney Arthur
B. Turner represented the Common
wealth in opposing a new trial. He
argued that the conviction of Pal
mo was a just and legal verdict, that
the defendant had had a fair and
impartial trial and that there are no
errors that should set aside the ver
dict of the jury. I
Palmo was convicted principally
on circumstantial evidence, after a
sensational trial lasting two weeks
the verdict being returned on April
18. He was charged with entering
the home of Myskowskl at midnight
and slashing the latter's throat as
Myskowski lay asleep by the side of j
his wife. The motive charged was ,
jealousy and it was proven at the
trial how Palmo followed Mrs.
Myskowski to Heading and Atlantic :
City, lived with her, quarreled with
her husband and made threats.
Although no person saw him en
ter or leave the house, his conviction
was brought about mainly by the
burned remnant of a razor found in
an ash pile in rear of the house
where he boarded, and by a piece
of blood stained feather, similar to
the kind in the pillow that was slash
ed open when the murder was com
mitted, found attached to a blood
stained handkerchief in his pocket.
The Commonwealth has all the ex
hibits, blood stained bed, etc., should
a new trial be granted.
