After the sen- tence has been passed, Dumas’ attor- neys may ask for a stay of sentence in order to carry the case to the su- preme court for a hearing on the ev- idence and law. The present decis- ion”covers the points certified to the court by Judge McClenahan. Lyndon A. Smith, attorney general for the state, said this morning, “The decision covers the case so thorough- ly that Dumas’ attorneys will prob- ably not appeal from the district court although they will have that right. The decision is believed to shiow the feeling in the court on the case and that an appeal of the en- tire case would have the same re- sults. “In this appeal just decided, the supreme court was asked to decide if the indictment was faulty and if the evidence brought out showed an at- tempt to commit the crime charged. Both points were decided affirmative- ly. This then places the case where the judge will summon Dr. Dumas and pass sentence. After the sen- tence, his attorneys can take an ap- peal of the entire case to the supreme court, although as I said before the present decision so thoroughly covers the case that such an appeal will probably not be made.” Prior to the handing down of the decision of the supreme court this morning, it was generally supposed that if the opinfon was hostile to Dr. Dumas’ case, that his attorneys would appeal the entire case as soon as possible. Relying on reports from St. Paul but without having seen the decision itself, those who have fol- lowed the case locally believe that no such appeal will be made because of the thoroughness with which the case was covered at this hearing. binding was done by the Pioneer.
