A NEW TRIAL IS DENIED

HALEY GIPE WILL GO TO THE PENITENTIARY DECISION CAUSES SURPRISE Judge Morris Surprised the Crowd by Making the Decision Yesterday. (Special to the Palladium.) Newcastle, Ind., December 16. Contrary to all expectations, Judge Morris, today overruled the motion for a new trial for Haley Gipe. The ndge had stated that his decision would be pi ven on Saturday and consequently a very small crowd was in the court room when the decision was made. In overruling the decision Judge Morris said that a conviction on the charge of inviluntary manslaughter did not jtfve him sufficient power to order a new trial. The general opinion is that if Gipe is given a new trial he will be hung. He is convicted on the charge of murdering Mollie and Buelah Starbuck on 'the night of July 9, 1904. Gipe was in the court room when Judge Morris rendered his decision. He did not display much uneasiness. A smile was on his face from the time he was brought into the court room until he was removed. However, he slightly paled when he was informed that he could, not have a new trial. His attorney, W. A. Brown, stated today that lie would appeal to the Supreme Court, at once and is now working on his twelve . i i n t t i i j l. a Gipe will be taken to the prison at Jeffersonville on next Monday by Sheriff Christopher.

SMALL RIOT IN NORTH END

WILLIAM RYLE STARTS TROUBLE IN HAZZARD'S SALOON AND IS BADLY BEATEN UP By the Bartender, Alonzo Grice Both Arrested for Assault and Battery. Excitement reigned supreme in the north end about noon yesterday. The chief disturbance was caused at the saloon of Richard Ilazzard at the corner of Fourteenth and North F streets. William Ryle, a colored man, attempted to do the Carrie Nation act on the saloon and the bartender, Alonzo Grice, would not stand for it, Both of the men are now under arrest on the charge of assault and battery. It is claimed that Ryle came up town yesterday morning and became beastly drunk. He then wandered to familiar haunts in the North Side, trying to create a disturbance. He entered the Ilazzard saloon in a verv drunken condition and ordered j Grice to give him a drink. This Grice refused to do and Ryle became insulting. Grice ejected him from the building, after some trouble in which both of the men were severely beaten up. Reaching the outside, Ryle procured a large stone, which he threw through the large plate glass door. By this time a large crowd had collected s and I. by- the v. time Ja&oljnian McManus arrived things looked as though a riot was going on. The patrolman placed both men under arrest. Grice was later released on bond. Ryle was considerably beaten up. He could not see out of one eye and the other was over half closed. Three or four stitches were required to sew up various cuts in his head. The police secured a bloody knife, which will be used as evidence in the case. Many witnesses have been summoned to appear in police court this morning and it is likely that a large crowd will be present at the trial. After the trouble had quieted down the mother of Ryle requested Patrolman McManus to dynamite the saloon. The patrolman had to refuse her as he is not in the habit of carrying dynamite in his pocket.' NEW OFFICERS Were Elected by the Local Carpenters' Union.

IN THEEAST Bannon and Pierce Will Remain this Season. Indianapolis, Ind., December 16. In the reports sent o.it by the Western Polo League regarding the putting in of a team at IndianajM.lis the names of Bannon and Pierce, former members of the Indianapolis club, have always been included. Today the News telegraphed to the parting editor of the Pawtucket (R. I.) Times, asking him if either Bannon or Pierce were coming West to play polo. His answer was: "Both playing in Massachusetts. Nothing doing in the West line." Either the Western League is bluffing about the two players joining their organization of the players have misled the Pawtucket sporting writer as to their intentions.
