DAVID CITT. Neb.. March 7. (8peclal.)
"The attorneys for the defendant In the
Llllle murder esse yesterday filed a mo
tion for a new trial. The motion contains
thirty-eight assignments of error.
The first assignment of error charges lr
rrgularttlea In the proceedings of the court
In allowing counsel for the state to cross
examine witnesses for defendant on Imma
terial sublets, not brought out In the
examination In chief. The second assign
ment of error Is thst the court erred In
allowing Witnesses Derby. Ren, Westovcr
and Sprague to testify over the objections
of the defense, ss to the experiments mad
on the lace curtain. The third and fourth
assignment of error are tbat the court
erred In allowing counsel for the state to
cross-examine certain witnesses. In which
It wss sought to Impeach sstd witnesses.
The fifth and sixth assignments of error
are that the court erred In permitting thf
state to cross-examine sundry witnesses,
and asking said witnesses whether or not
the defendant had not tried to Induce them
to swear contrary to the facts and the
truth. The seventh assignment Is substan
tially as the former assignments.
Sar Jarora Were Biased.
The eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh,
twelfth and thirteenth assignments refer
to certain jurors who, it Is alleged, had
expressed an opinion In the case prior to
the time they were called In the jury box.
Assignment number fourteen alleges that
the defendant la entitled to a new trial be
cause of the fact that they have discov
ered new evidence. Assignments from fif
teen to thirty-five, inclusive, are to the ef
fect ihat the court erred In giving certain
Instructions to the jury, and refusing to
give certain Instructions asked for by the
defendant. The other assignments of error
are to the effect that the verdict Is not
sustained by the evidence, Is contrary to
law, and errors occurring at the trial.
The motion refers to certain affidavits to
support the motion, but the affidavits have
not beea filed, but probably will be In a
few daya.
