Solomon, for the prisoners, maintained that the wmen not hav prosont when the state supreme court pronounced seutenco of dsath, it was a deprival to them of due precess ot law and coutrary to the provisions of tha constitution of the United States and likewise contrary to law iu refusing to show the facts, The chiof justico suggested that the state supreme court merely hixed the time for exe- cution Mr. Solomon asserted that the court did more by rocording that the,persons were present. He then made another point by af- firming that thero was no authority by which the governor of the state could direct tho en- forcement of his commutation of sentence. The power of pardon aud commutation we conferred by law on tho governor, but there %08 1o manner proviaed by statuts for en forcing impeisonment where ordered in com- mutation of o death soutence, und the gov crnor in directing such imprisoument had assunied a power Lot vested in him, Justice Gray asked if thero was anythiog to show whether or not the prisoner iad ac- ceptea the governor's pardon Mr. Solomon geplied that there was noth ing whatever to show that such would be ac- cepted, “I'he judge asked if the result would be that the men would go free und that a commata, tion would amount to an absoluto pardon, Mr. Solomon admitted this, but maintained that though commutation might, under the Ithuois laws, be ordered, no power existed to enforce the imprisonment ordered. Mr. George Hunt, attorney general of tho state of [llinois, followed M. Solomon in be- half of the state of Tllinois. Ho maintained that tho United States supreme court had no jurisdiction to puss upon the action of the supreme court of Ilinois. The ouly allega- tion on the part of the court, whose judg- ment was sought to be reviewed, was a refusal to amend its record and show thut Fielden and Schwab were not bodily present when the judgment was ren dered. This court had jurisdiction to review the final resort of the several states only whenever a federal question was involved. Ho submitted that no federal question was involved in the record, or that there was uo final judgment to bo reviewed. Thero was simply n decision of the supreme court of the state of Iilinois on a motion made subse- quent to the entry of final juaement in tho origival case. Morcover, the supreme court’s judgment was not a condemnation of the parties, but simply a refusal to interfere with its own record. Mr. Hunt then called attention to the fact that it was not until the next term of court that the men filed their objections, and ho asked when the htigation would end if the counsel could come in at any time and allege errors in the record. There was no reason, he smid, for tho presence of the men in the court. 'There is 1n the case a suggestion that the two men are subjects of Great Britain and Germany. Attorney General Hunt said ho was unable to find unything in the treaties by which the case could be atfected. A for- eiguer stood on no better ground than an American citizen. Goneral Butler ~That is true, Iu tho course of this part of the argument Mr. Hunt quoted from au utterance of Gen- eral Butler to the effect that foreigners were entitled to no greater considoration tnan American eitizens, “and not so much if they dia not behiave themselves,” and paid a_com pliment to Lis opponent by ‘adding that it was thatspirit “which enables him to measure diplomatic swords with Palmer Stone and 1ot como off second best in tha conflict.” Goneral Butler aroso and thanking Mr. Hunt, snid: “What is the court to coma to if the foreigners have here, under tho treatics, exactly the same rights’ that we have, but that whon the rights gnaranteed by treaty to a foreigner are brought in question ho is en- titied to adjudication through the courts of the United States, and that thereforo a federal question would come up in the records.” The 1mportanco of this statement is that it shows the manner in which it 15 expectod to establish the jurisdiction of the Unitqd States supreme court and its right to review the proceedings insthe state court. The attorney genoral of [llinois then closed bis argument by addressing himself to the claims made in behaif of Schwab, that there was no authority for sending Schwab to the penitentiary after commutation of his sen- tence, and that tho letters directing his con- finoracnt and tho copies of tho court’s do- cisions amounted to nothing as authority, therefore Mr. Hunt imaintained that unless the pardoning power was regulated by law the manner of its excrcise was entirely a matter of exocutive discretion, Chief dustice Fuller—Has any application been mauc to the subreme court of Illinois on bohalf of this -an on this ground/ Mr. Hunt—No, sir. Tho chief justice question then' Mv. Hunt argued that there was none and said that the claim that Schwab's imprisou- ment, under commutation by the governor, {llegal, novel and amusing, General Butler will make the closing ar- gument tomorrow, [ | ing been ‘Where is ths federal Jerry Simpson Mk House—Work of Both Branche Wasmyaroy, D, C., Jan, 21, ~The now oil portraits of ex-Speakers Grow aod Randall were displayed in the house lobby today and attracted much attention ant a great deal of well-merited praise, Mr. Grow was upon the floor looking hale and hearty, and apparently bearing youth fully the burden of years which have restod upon him siuce he presided over the delibera- tions of the bouse in the Thirty-soventh con gress.
