John J. JVIcGoIdrick, the_Wheel Pump hotel man, who was found guilty of gambling and leasing his hotel pro¬ perty for gambling purposes, through, his counsel, Samuel H. High, has filed with the court reasons for a new trial.

It is also held that the verdict of the jury  is  aganlst  the  evidence.
It is contended, also, that the trial 'judge extensively <|is<<ussfcd certajo evideniC>e adduOied by Uie- ct>mmon- wealtto fn,tTiminating +^- defendant, and ignored important testimony of defendant and his witnesses that show¬ ed the good faith and Innocence of defendant.
Lastly, it Js held tliat the j-iidge, in his charge, committed errors injuriouB to the defendant.
In view of the filing of these reasons McGoldrick was not sentenced oh Oct. 1.
