StLVeRRCRGS THE SCKANTON KEPU BL1CAN, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1926 SCRAGG OPPOSES NEW TRIAL MO YE Argues Against Granting Kwiat kowski Another Chance to Face Jury Arguing against a motion for a new trial for Joseph KwlatowskI, convicted of murder In the first degree for the killing of a young boy In Throop, District Attorney Harold Scragg yesterday declared that the fact that names of three of the Jurors, who served on the jury, did not appear on the certified Jury list was not sufficient reason for granting a new trial. This was the chief reason advanced by Attorney John J. Owens and William B. Landis counsel for the slayer. The arguments were heard by Judges George W.

Maxey and Albert It. Watson. Judge Maxey, who granted Patsy Stallone a new trial for a similar reason, took the view that no man or woman, whose name was not on the certified list, was not qualified to serve unless called as a talesman. 'Think of the other men who were tried and convicted under similar conditions, and who are now serving time," argued Mr. Scragg.

If this court holds to the view that Kwiatkow skl should be given a new trial on these grounnds then all other prisoners are privileged to come In here and under the ruling are entitled to new trials." Mr. Landis argud that the killing was accidental and that he did not go to the boy's home with murder In his heart. He also declared that the defendant was drunk at the time of the commission of the crime. In answer to a question from Judge Maxey. Mr.

Landis replied they would consider pleading second degree murder. Assistant District Attorneys Joseph B. Jenkins and J. Julius Levy were present for the arguments. Italy manufat res a third of the artificial silk now produced in the world.
