lYutlnnml Ward's counsel will probably
make a motion for anew trial nnd certainly
take f'Ji appeal on the validity of tlie Indict
ment. If Ward Is sentenced for ten years
the in-o ecntlou will probably not try him on
Uio other Indictments. If the full penalty Is
notnlven , another charge may be tried. The
Tilbiino says Ferdinand Ward made the foi
lowing statement to Its reporter : "I feel
thai theio was a conspiracy to convict me
regardless of evidence , and that the Improb-
nble story of the telephone was concoclfld out
of a spirit of spite and a dcslro to place
mo where my hands will be tied and my
mouth closed , hut nevertheless 1
feo.f cotitidont that tlmu and a
full Investigation of tliu business of ( irant
A-Wind will convince the public that what
1 have already said about the disposition of
moneys of the firm , Is true , and I only liopo
( hose who have taken what doe.s not In law
belong to them will IK' made to return JJiu
name so Unit those who lost nmybcnnuie
whole. 1 have done all 1 could to this end
and now leave It to those who are empowered
by law to act In the matter to do the rest. The
hooks and papers of ( irant & Waul will
show Iho whole story and I feel sure some
one will act In the matter and show them up.
1 will not complain , but trust time will tell
what 1 am now restilcted from showing. As
tothe appeal In my case , that rests with my
atlomujH. f mean to bear whatever may
conn1 vtith a brave heart , believing that time
will In Ing about a more Just [ fooling In the
minds ol the public which has for thu past
year and n half been saturated with the vin
dictive stories ol my enemies. "
