In a poll of the jury that con- victed the Bronx carpenter at his trial in Flemington, N.

Two Courses Remain. Since the highest court's one-word refusal to reopen the conviction, only iwo principal courses of action re- main for the convicted slayer. They are: 1. Application to Justice Thomas W. Trenchard, Flemington trial judge, for a new trial on a possible claim of new evidence. 2.
