ST. LOUIS, March 20.—The hearing of the motion for a new trial in the McKee case came up in the United States District Court to-day and was postponed until to-morrow in consequence of the illness of Judge Treat and the absence from the city of two of the counsel in the case. If the motion in this and the Avery case is overruled, District Attorney Dyer will move that the sentences be passed at once on all persons convicted and those who pleaded guilty of defrauding the Government of its revenues. If sustained in either case, he will move the sentence of all persons not needed as witnesses.
