After a trial with a special panel of jurors which lasted thirteen days, they were convicted on December 31, 1947, of murder in the first degree. On appeal taken, the said conviction was affirmed unanimously by the Court of Appeals ( 298 N.Y. 564) and subsequent to that time an application was made on their behalf for a stay to the United States Supreme Court which was denied. A motion is now made on behalf of Dunn and Gentile to set aside their conviction and for a new trial on the ground of newly discovered evidence.
