THE ELLIOTT MURDER.
Small Chance for a. New Trial for Thomas
Itrennan.
During tho past two woeks Judgo Bechtel
has given considcnblo time to tho considera
tion of tho motion for a new trial In tho caso
of Thomas Brcnuan, convicted of murder in
tho first degree in tho Schuylkill countv
courts last Juno.
While tho Judgo will not announce his de
cision until an opportunity to do so in open
court arrives, it is known that there Is very
slight prospect of a now trial being granted.
Since tho trial Judgo Bechtel has stated that
he could not havo ruled otherwise than he
did without violating the precedents estab
lished by the Supremo Court, or disregarding
his oath of olllco. Brennan's open con
fession on tho witness stand, tho fact that no
now ovldenco has been adduced, and that all
the points raised wero fully and exhaustively
discussed during tho progress ef tho trial aro
additional reasons for tho general belief that
a new trial will bo refused.
Tho most omiuous feature of the Brcunan
trial was the Icnioncy accorded to tho de
fence, by Judgo Bechtel, and tho able lawyerfl
who aro trying to save the murdercrof Harry
Klltott from tho gallows are now laboring
under this disadvantage If a now trial is
refused tho caso will bo at onco appealed to
tho Supremo Court, and If tho lower court is
confirmed thero it will bo taken before tho
Board of Pardons. In tho meantime Judge
Bechtel will imposo sentence of death, and
the Governor will fix tho date of oxecution.
