THE SLEEPY HOLLOW HORROR.

Another Effort in Behalf Of the Condemned
Mau-Justice Gilbert Declines to Grant q
Stay of Observation-Disclosures Time On
Earth Apparently Short.
1t now seems extremely probable that notwith-
standing the numerous delays ingenlously brought
about by his counsel during the past eighteen
months, Buckhout. the sleepy Hollow murderer.
will suffer death In the manner prescribed BY law
on the 10th instant .
Before Justice Gilbert, at Brooklyn, on Friday:
Francis Iarxin. counsel for the condemned man,
made another application for stay OF proceedings.
presenting some twenty exceptions to the rulings OF
Justice Barnard during the trial at which
the prisoner was convicted all OF which
Justice Gilbert pronounced not well taken.
Counsel for the prisoner then argued That serious
doubts had arisen as to the legality OF the Court OF
Oyer and Terminer, before which the case was
tried, aintainng that, under the act OF ls4S, Q
Justice Of the Supreme court alone constituted q
legal tribunal, and maintained that Judge lngra-
ham had decided thar the Oyer and Terminer was
a legal Court with one Supreme Court Justice. and
that the law applied TO the entire State.
District Attorney BRIGGS of Westchester county.
in answer said tnat the statute alluded TO by cOun
sci only applied TO the city and county OF New YORK.
Courts OF oyer and Termner Of New York that had
recently been decided by judge lngraham dld nos
that the Court OF Appeals had decided
tnat the ACT Oh LeslSidturc Repeating dcs Va
ls4S is Unconstitutional and that therefore, the
original act applied to New York only, and as the
act IN the charter repeating the original Is unc0n-
stiruJiOna, therefore both the Courts OF New York
and of the counties outside OF New York
were all legally organized. n should
be, decided that the County Courts are
Illegally organized, the effect would be to
declare illegal all the acts OF the Courts OF Oyer and
Termlner Throughout the STATE since 1s70-a sc.
quence as utterly preposterous rs 1t would be dan
gerOus.
Justice Gilbert denied the motion for o stay OF
proceedings ON any OF the points presented by
Buckhouts counsel, but reserved his opinion on the
legality OF the organization OF the Court This was
the only plea which he could entertain.
Counsel for the prisoner then attempted to show
that the jurymen VINO tried Buckhout had some
Judge Gilbert replied that such was the case tho
Governor was The proper person to apply 70 for
relief.
It Is we'll known that Governor Hoffman has
already declined to interfere with the case.

He said many pretty and complimentary things,
