The PnAm CASE AGArS.-The friends of Phair
are making another effort to gain time and de-
lay the execution which is set for the 4th of next
equity to enjon the sheriff Of Windsor county
from hanging him ON the date mentioned, based
on the following grounds: By Phairs original
sentence he was to be hanged April 6, 1877, and
the warrant was issued accordingly. But the
statute counsel claim, provides that the execu-
ton shall be performed at the time specified in
the warrant unless the convict is pardoned or has
his sentence commuted Phair was simply re-
prievedi and hence the question as to whether he
can be executed under the old warrant That
question will not make very much trouble, after
ALL for all talk about the illegalty Of the execu-
ton in April is idle The second section OF the
act of the last Legislature, under which the case
was brought before the supreme court, reads
thus: ain all cases when the said trial OF said
petition shall not take place until the time named
for execution, in which new trial shall be re-
fused the court hearing said petition shall APP
point time for executing the sentence and issue
their order to the sheriff for that purpose" Since
writing the above we learn that the question now
raised was considered by the Judges of the Su-
preme Court at the time OF the recent application
| for a new trial, and they decided that no new
warrant was necessary and that there was nc
doubt Of the strict legality OF his execution under
the old warrant. There can be no doubt but that
the murderer will be hung, as reprieved, on Fri.
