The at~ torney for the defense atonco uppented tu the Supreine Court, which granted 4 atay of the execution to March 17 to give it tae to decide whethor togranta writot supersedens, A writ was granted, which postponed the onso till the vourtvould degidy whether the prisoner had bud w fale trial, ‘This devision was arrived at, tnd nue public sosterday. “Tho point of Which tho caso was decided ‘by the the caso the Suprewe Court was about as follor When tho record of thy testimony wi tudo our it showed that one of tho witnesses for tho people, Onticer J.

If, however, the asensin (for I will not write hte name) had been taken to tho’ Jail, a mob had broken in, taken bint out and Hung binton a tren ever so quietly, or If they had murdered him without taking him from tho fall, there would havo been many who would havedoprecat- ed tho act and many who would baye approved and rejoiced over It. And even now there aro Hoamail numbers of persons in overy commu- nity who. would profer that this murderer should bo killed by a mob or by some frregular means than hanged after a trial by a Jury and conviction of tho crime for which he is answerable; . while n grent: many porsons . dectare, themselves = in favor of inoli-killing, because as they pretend, of o foar that through somo fallure of the Inw or of tinding by a Jury he will not suifferdeath as a ponalty for his crine. The former of thes chisses favor the mob, because, ae they know, the erlmninal will bo not outy killed, but, becauso Af killed by the inub, he will be subjected to INDIGNITY AND HORRMLE ‘TonTUnES, and the animal ferucity of thoir natures will bo satiefied, and, os thoy claim, the people witl be avonged. Both classes do vot care that by mob aes the Inw will be vioiated and deftcd, u int the vame apirit in the murderer which led bin to avenge the funcied wrong tone to bim by the President ia Senoring his demands for oltice will exhibit itself in just so much ureater degre in the inob as ite numbers, and the atrocitics attendant upon — its violence of action shull excced the one erlininal.
