The Su- preme Court will be asked for a stay of proceedings until it can be deter- mined whether there is any law under which he can be executed. The authorities of this county are placed in a pecullar situation regarding Armstrong's execution and he may yet escape punishment entirely. Armstrong was convicted under a law which re- quired all sentences for murder t> be éxecuted at the county seat, and was duly sentenced to be hanged May §, 1902. His case was taken to the Su- preme Court on errors, and psnding its hearing a stay of execution was granted. In the meantime a new law went into effect requiring all executions for mur- der to take place at the State peniten- tiary. Armstrong’s attorneys contend that he cannot be executed under the old law because it had been repealed. —————————— DAUGHTER LOSES A SUIT BROUGHT AGAINST MOTHER Mrs. Julia Hayes Denied Judgment to Compel Mrs. Anna Barnes to Deed Her Property. OAKLAND, Dec. 12.—Judge Ogden decided the suit brought by Mrs. Ju- lia Hayes, to compel her mother, Mrs. Anna Hughes-Barnes, to deed to her property to the value' of $25,000 at Twelfth and Jefferson streets, in favor of the mother to-day. The daughter claimed that her mother had deeded her the property and put the deed in the hands of a third party to be filled in case of her death. The mother afterward changed her mind and de- stroyved the deed. Mrs. Barnes gained considerable notoriety some time ago by marrying William E. Barnes, a prisoner in the county' jail, in order to reform him. A few weeks later she brought suit for divorce upon the ground of cru- elty, alleging that Barnes had beaten her. Her action caused her daugh- ter to lose confidence in her mother's sagacity and she brought the suit in order to secure the property from be- ing dissipated. Judge Ogden held that there had been no proper de- livery of the deed and hence the gift had not been consummated. —————— Baseball Game Postponed.
