kEMMLER'S CASE.
The United States Supreme Court Will
 Render Decision on Friday.

The Vnited States Supreme Court Will
 Render a Decision on Friday.
 WASHINGTON, May 21-The decision of the Supreme Court in the Kemmler case will probably be rendered on Fri. day.
 Roger M. Sherman, who made the appli- cation that secured Kemmler reprieve, appeared for the condemned murderer. He based his argument on the 14th Amendment to the Federal Constitu- tion, which provides that "no state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immuni- ties of citizens of the United States: nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law," and on the Sth amend ment, which provides that "cruel and unusual punishments shall not be in- tiicted"
 Mir. Sherman also held that the War den of the penitentiary at Auburn was given too great discretion by the law. It conferred upon hIm a power which had heretofore been solely confded to the court
 Attorney Taber argued that the law in question had been passed by the New York Legislature for the pur- pose of lessening the pains and sufferings of execution and the Supreme Court tion to interfere.
 sition of MT. Sherman that a criminal has the right to demand that his death shall be by rope, instead of such other means as the law of the State in which he lived when the crime was committed might determine.
