O LOS ANGELES, February 11.—Piling of a motion for a new trial, the first step in legal mancuvering by which de- fense attorners hope they may save Willlam Edward Hickman from the gallows, today gave the slayer of Marian Parker a delay until Tuesday in hearing sentenced passed. Superior Judge J. J. Trahucco post- poned sentencing of the confessed killer after Jerome K. Walsh, chief de- 1928—PART 1 fense attorney, entered the request for a new trial. Arguments on th: motlon were set for Tuesday morning. 1t a new trial is denled, the defense has announced, an arrest of judgment ilf’ be interposed. - If this also is de- nied, the court proeedure calls for the sentencing of the youth, who Thursday was found sane by a jury: Appeal to High Court. After Hickman is sentenced. which, under the law, may be either death by | hanging or life imprisonment, Walsh announced he would file a notice of appeal to the State Supreme Court. unty © Jafler Frank Dewar sald Hickman would be sent to San Quentin Prison’ to’await action on the appeal. In urging another trial, Walsh told Judge Trabucco important evidence had been discovered which was not available for presentation to the jury which found Hickman sane and thus made him legally responsible for murder. The defense motion set forth a score of allegations of errors in the trial. ‘The ssibility of a mistrial being declared was scen by prosecuting at- B 23 422 et torneys in the allegation that the jury had recelved evidence out of court. Keys Ignorant of Claim. District Attorney Asa Keyes declared he knew nothing about it. “Of course, the defense will have to prove it be- fore the hearing could be called a mis- trial,” he said. He admitted that proof of such an allegation would arbitrarily force the court to call a mistrial. Hickman came into court this mofn- ing vth a jaunty step and a smile, pre- pared to hear the court pass sentence upon him. He was before Judge Tra- bucco walting to hear the sentence when Walsh moved for the new trial. . Files Slander Suit. Joseph Silverstone, auto accessories dealer, 1347 H street northeast, has filed sult to recover $20,000 damages from Dantel Gilbert and Jennie Gilbert, 1372 H street northeast, for alleged slander. Silverstone says the woman used de- rogatory statements about him which were indorsed by the other defendant. He is represented by Attorneys Cusick & Hughes.
