In extending the court term for
thirty days, Judge Hamilton is setting
9 precedent in local court circles, it
was stated Saturday morning Al-
though the law makes provision for
the extension ordered by Judge Hamil-
ton, it has not been found necessary
to lengthen the court's term for such
a period in the past, It was stated.
Only one indictment was made pub-
lic by the grand jury Friday afternoon
when the recess was announced. This
indictment was against Joe Lubert,
charging burglary. Lubert was re-
cently arrested by the police after the
house of a dairyman on the Bull Creek
road, where Lubert was working, had
been broken into and $40 extracted
from a savings bank.
Judge Hamilton indicated that he
would have his hands full disposing
of a large number of cases during the
next thirty days, cases that were
a wafting action by him at this term
of court. Among the number are over
,100 divorce cases, he said.
Under Judge Hamilton's order ex-
tending the court term, the criminal
district court will remain in session
through Saturday, April 29. Beyond

glary. wa* conducted Saturday morn-
lug-in th* criminal district court oy
Warren W. Moore, attorney for th,
convicted man, in an effort to show
that Ashe shouf be given a new trial.
Attorney Moore had previously' filed
a motion to set aside the jury’s verdict
and for a new trial on several grounds.
Pinal action on the motion was post-
joned by Judge James R Hamilton
• Monday.
.among allegations made by the at-
torsBy were that certain jurors were
prejudiced against Ash. that one Juror
was opposed to giving Ash a suspend-
ed sentence, and that the indictment
against the convicted man was in er-
ror in that it did not name the reai
owner of ths Consumers Co-Operative
Supply Company store which Ash ad-
mitted he Lad attempted to burglar-
ise. Attorney Moore also announced
.that new character evidence in favor
of Ash had been discovered.
Questioning of the surors Saturday
morning DFougnt out the fact that the
failure- to antroduce character wit-
nesves in Ash's behalf in th, first trial
had weighed heavily in the jury's re-
fusal to give a suspended sentence.
