TWO CASES TO BE TAKEN TO STATE SUPREME COURT Motions by counsel for the defense in the cases of the state vs. T. J. Keclen and the state vs. C. K. Dooley asking new trials were denied this morning by Circuit Judge J. W. Knowles. Both men were found guilty, in separate trials, of larceny in connection with the sale of an auto mobile said to belong to George Robertson. Kcelen's attorneys asked for a new trial on the grounds that the evidence presented by the state did not show reasonable cause for leading to the belief that he knew the car when sold by him for Dooley did not belong to Dooley and also that if a crime was committed the crime of larceny by bailee and not larceny was com mitted. Dooley's attorneys asked for a new trial on the grounds that the evidence showed, according to their interpre tation, that larceny was not com mitted and if any crime was commit ted it was larceny by bailee. Judge Knowles sentenced e-ich one year. Notice of an appeal to the su preme court has been filed in both cases by the attorneys who handled the cases in circuit court. Appeal bond is expected to be filed this after noon. Both men are at liberty on bail pending the filing of their ap peal bond. PORTLAND. July 8.
