THE KEMMLER CASE.
A Writ of iIabcas Corpus Granted
by the Unitci statcs Court.

The Uoited States circuit court has
granted writ of habcas corpus ro-
turnable June 18th, in the case OF
kemmler. The ground for tho writ is
that the act under which the execution
was to take place is in violation OF tho
constitution. For number Of days
the people at Auburn, n. u, have
been on the verge of expectancy,
awaiting the execution by electricity
the first time. There have also been
IN town innumerable newspaper men.
At the dinner table, April 10Th, they
received the first intima,ion, when
District Attorney Quimby, OF Buffalo,
said there would not be any execution
and he was going home, The reporters
fastened TO the prison and after
short time Warden Durston told them
the news. There was u wild rush of
the reporters for the telegraph Office
three blocks away. Attracted by the
running mon, crowds of people poured
out OF houses and stores, and soon
there was long string OF men and
children running up the street, whilo
out OF doors and windows were shouted
all sorts OF inquiries, most frequent OF
which was, "Say, has he been touched
of yetg" This expression touched
or is the Auburn way OF referring to
electro execution.
The writ was obtained in New York
by eX-Assistant District Attorney Roger
NJ. Sherman. lie had never commu.
nicated with Kemmler, and just who
employed him can not be learned. His
connection with the case seems to be
like that of w. Burke Cochran, who,
year ago, opposed Reminders execu-
ton Oh the ground that it was cruel
and unusual and therefore against the
state constitution. There has been
little doubt that Cochran had some
assistance from the electrical company
whose apparatus was chosen for the
execution, the company saying IL did
not want its dynamos used for such
purpose. The result OF the fight In
the state courts was In favor OF the
new law and since the final decision
hoehibS hdu pCeu uohp uhtii l'iub uuy.
Sherman went there in company with
Henry ID, Galley, who is attorney for
several electric light companies, Both
OF these gentlemen refused to talk.
Warden Durston, who had been bother
ed greatly by newspaper men and
others the past few weeks, al first re-
fused to believe in the commences Of
Sherman's papers. Sherman thereup-
on went before Judge Dwight and
made the necessary atiidavits, after
which Warden Durston accepted SER
vice and allowed kcmmler TO sign
papers constituting Sherman his at
torney
Kemmler is very dull of comprehen-
sion, and paid no attention to what he
was signing and knew nothing OF the
Importance of the papers until nearly
four o'clock, when Warden Durston
went in and formally explained TO him
what had happened. Even then the
prisoner looked as if he did not fully
understand, and the warden said: at
means that your execution is not COM
ing of now, and that you will have
two months and perhaps longer TO
live"
"Oh," said Kemmler. just as though
the facts were beginning to dawn upon
him, "that makes me feel much easier"

The Original Package Decision Before
Congress-.

The decision of the Supreme Court that
merchandise of any kind, in original pack
ages, may be transferred from any State or
territory to another, for consumption or
sale therein, came before the Senate, last Fri
day, on an amendment Offered by Senator
Gray to the bill subjecting imported liquors
to the provisions of the law or the regula-
ton, control, police or taxing power of any
State or Territory, by reason of such liquors
being in the original package of importation
or transportation, as subjects of Interstate
or foreign commerce. This act, ifit becomes
a law, would, perhaps, effectually stop The
sale of liquor in original packages in Local
option counties or States.
On the other hand the Supreme Court OF
Maine has reversed decision by which a
man named Burns was convicted several
years ago In Augusta of selling liquors in
original packages that were imported from
Canada or other countries. The case has
been carried up step by step. the decision at
last being in Burns favor. The court bases
its decision on the recent decision of the Su-
preme Court of the United States, that liquor
or any other article of merchandise can not,
under the Interstate commerce laws, be ex-
cluded from sale, if transported from one
State to another for use or consumption in
the former
