All attempts for the defendant who
had fought the cane bitterly since last
Monday in the face of public indigua

a new trial on the* urounds that the
court wax illegally eonstltuted and
the venire was not drawu according

the 1'iilted Stales. ^
Their motion wtt* overruled. They

in passing sentence, Judge Sease
said that he preRUtned that -\flhy the

many that.there might 4>c h possibility i
of un acquit fa 1 and It appeared when
the jury stayed out as long as it did
that there might be a mistrial.
On the same verdict which -on

"AVe are facing lute spring. Wea

perhaps the shortest Crop In live years.
"Recent conditions in Kuvope can
not continue. Christianity and hu
inanity demand that these people be
allowed to go to work that they may
have the opportunity of making a liv

tremendous demand for raw material.
Tliln. combined with weather condi

a much higher 'price for cotton. The
