The Governor has received once more the
transcripts, or rather abstracts, of the cases OF
Che three mnrderers IN the parish OF 81. Mary.
and has again referred them
TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
FOR an opinion. 1t seems now that the papers In
each case does not cover over four pages, giving
only brief abstract OF the proceedings in each
case. when heretofore the custom has been TO
make complete transcript Of the proceedings in
such cases from the date OF the indictment. 1t
depends now entirely upon the opinion of the At.
t0rney General as to the transcripts being regu-
lar in form, whether the Governor signs the
death warrants or not.
The Attorney General has now under consider
atfon and liz examining the record in the case OF
the New York Guaranty and Indemnity Company
against the State to compel the funding OF
