The Supreme Court OF tho United States
affirmed the judgment Of the Circuit Court
for the Southern District Of New York, in
the case Of Shibuya Jugiro, the Japanese
prisoner confined at Sing Sing under SEN
tence Of death by means OF electricity. II
was sought to secure Jugiro's release on
habeas corpus, OH the ground that the
Kemmler case had demonstrated that cleo
trocution was "cruel and unusual punish
ment," and as such prohibited by the Con-
stitution. The court affirmed the judgment
upon the authority of the decision in the
Kemmler case. This, 1t Is believed, destroys

business men of Ashland, Kas., reached the
State line, having travelled forty miles north
at the end of q rope.
They had been hunting In the Cherokee

Of Caldwell. Before daylight they were
aroused by dozen Indian scouts and po-
lice who ordered them out of the country.
They were shown hunting permits
issued by II. L. Walker. United States Mar
shall, but the Indians replied that no one
had authority to issue permits but the Indi-
ans and they proposed to prevent invaders
from disturbing the game. The party said
they would leave, when the Indians said
they must leave all their property. They
were disarmed and a twenty-foot rope adj

the other end attached to q horse IN charge
of scout. The Indians started north at a

Eleven years ago Hiram Boehny, req
pected citizen of Massillon, o., was sent to
the penitentiary charged with criminally
asssulting his daughter. The case caused
great excitement NJ the time, but the proof

vlcted. His nephew, j. A. Boehny, thought
different. however. and during the interven-
Ing years has been working to clear his
uncle's name. He now claims to havc con-
elusive proof OF innocence, alleging the wit
nesses were intimidatcd into swearing false
ly. Proceedings will be commenced at once
