"Fair Play Kicks Against the Umpire'l
Decision.
Editor % EVENING JOURNAL.
SIR;-I would like to have space in
your valuable paper to make a few state
ments concerning the Clayton. Middle
town base ball game at the latter town
on Friday last, as follows. Our clul
was not composed of one.half Of the
old Smyrna club, as there was but one
man on the nine who Is a resi- lent oi
Smyrna, and he and all the other players
are members of the club that will repre-
sent this town this season. We had nc
hired catcher from New Castle and nc
players from Townsend,
There was but one "kick" made during
the game, and that was because the bases
were not fastened down and the umpires
were totally ignorant of all base ball
rules. We stopped the game at o'clock,
as had been agreed to beforehand by the
Middletown club, and at that time six
full innings bad been played. The game
was called with the score to 4 ia favor
Of the Clayton club, and the umpires did
not award the game to Middletown

Chief Justice Fuller announced that the

court would hear an application for writ
of error on May 10. The granting Of a writ
Of error in the case would have the effect Of
reopening the expert testimony taken by

Mr. Sherman also read his own afiidavia
in the case This affidavit stated that Mr..
sherman was an attorney for Kemmler,
and that the application to the supreme
court was allowed by Judge Wallace, the
circuit judge Of the United States for the
Second circuit, upon the condition that it
should be made with the utmost diligence
and brought to the attention of the judges
80 that they could consider it before the end
of the term, and that If this were not done
the writ should be vacated. Mr. sherman
said that he had not considered himself
authorized to make the application sooner
than April 25. Before that time he was not
IN any way engaged in behalf Of the PEI
titioner.

n Would Free KemmIer.

He did not claim that the ex post facto'
provision Of the constitution applied to this
case. The law had been enacted with re-
gard to proper forms. He thought that he
had shown enough to prove that the law
should not become part Of the settled law
Of the country by the denial Of writ Of
habeas corpus.
Justice Gray suggested that the granting
OF writ Of habeas corpus would have the.
effect Of liberating Kemmler. To this Mr.
Sherman replied that the court could pro
vide against this, and in support Of his
claim he cited the Medley case, in which
the court, although granting the writ Of
habeas corpus, directed the warden of the
prison where the prisoner was confined to
notify the state officers of the exact time
Of the prisoners liberation iR order that he
might be captured and retired

said, was under sentence of death under

imposes the punishment OF death BY the
passing through his body Of current of
electricity sufficient, in the opinion Of the
warden Of the state prison, to cause his
death, the current 70 be continued until it

Judge Wallace, Mr. Sherman stated has

Danger Of Torture.

Mr. sherman argued That unless the curs
rent was applied under perfect scientific
conditions there was danger of torture aud
Il had not been shown that the scientific
conditions could be perfect AT modes of
instant execution, he said, were more or
less cruel. Electricity must be TO some ex-
tent cruel Scientists claimed that any
sudden shock that drives the soul from the
body must be in some degree cruel Where
hanging was prescribed the sheriff was di-
rected 70 hang the criminal by the neck
until he was dead.
II did not authorize the executioner to
20 into the criminal cell at any hour of the
day or night and execute him by hanging
him by the heels or body, or BY twisting
rope about his body. The electrocution
law did not prescribe any direct method OF
execution. In the slaughter house cases,
Mr. Sherman said, Justice Field has stated
that man cannot be deprived OF his life
without due process Of law and he claimed
that this was a case somewhat similar one.

Without Due Process of Law.l

''The question" he said sis here pro-
sented to the federal courts under thas
amendment to the constitution of the
United States upon claim That the linn
tied privilege or immunity of this citizen
70 be exempt from cruel and unusual pun
ishment for crime, is by the fourteenfia
amendment extended and protected from
eneronchmels.s by the state IL Is further
claimed that even if the eighth amendments
has no original or derived application, ans
merely by the operation OF the fourteentlt
amendment alone he may be by this court
preserved in life until the state Of New
York shall deprive him of 1t by due pro-.
cess Of law, despite the sentence under
which he Is now confined II this is not q
federal question under the eighth amend
ment, yet the petitioner presses the court
that the state law violates the fourteenth
amendment which deprives him OF life

Alleged statutary Irregularities.


Mr. sherman read from his application
what he claimed were irregularities Ia the
statute, He held that the statute was with
out due process of law because il imposed
punishment which inGicis painful death
and Is beyond all question unusual II LETT
20 the absolute discretion az an executives
Office one presumed not to be an expert, TO
determine the intensity Of the electric cur
rent which is to be passed through Kemm-
Ter and the conditions under which IL shall
be applied, and only prescribed for his
guidance that he shall continue the current
selected by him until it kills, provided
week shall suffice for the purpose. 1t left to
the warden the power TO determine the day
Of kemmer's death instead of day being
fixed by the court; it made provisions for
solitary confinement in addition to the
death penalty; it was cruel because it
withheld knowledge of the period of his
life from the prisoner until the moment OF
his destruction; it prohibited truthful re-
port by the press of the execution which
deprives the criminal Of a safeguard against
cruel punishment, ane it is q substantial
departure from the essential features OF

There is no ground whatever for the
widely published assertion that Jerry
Simpson aspires to Mr.. Ingalls, seat in
the senate. at meeting of the alli-
ance leaders, during the recent conven-
tion in Florida, Simpson himself intro
duced a resolution that no congress
man-elect should permit his name to
come up as a candidate, and this is I'm
doubleday the sentiment of the party.
Only two men, PETER and Willets, are
being seriously considered, and if Will
Its had not been elected national lee
turer he would without doubt have
been endorsed for the senate. But now
that he has good and important Office,

CHEAP TALK.

There has been great deal of of cheap talk
about the wonderful vote received by Jerry
Simpson In this district and the ''seckless
statemen" has been advertised all over the
country as the champion vote catcher OF Kan
sas. An examination Of the vote reveals the
fact, however, that Simpson ran just seven
thousand votes behind his ticket taking the
state ticket as basis. And when it is remem-
bered that the democrats and the Wichita
jointists endorsed him, his vote is far from be-
ing remarkable or extraordinary. As q mat
ter OF fact, any man in the district would have
run just as well. If not better than jerry.
The above piece of ''hog- wash is now
making its rounds. There are mislead-
ing statements in it. The fact is that
Jerry did make a wonderful canvass,
and did receive wonderful vote. The
g. o. p. has not yet ceased to stare and
wonder at the result of the election.
If the Wichita jointists endorsed him,
it is news to this section. The joint
lists of this county fought him; they
spent money to beat him; they went to
Wichita and other cities to denounce
Jerry as a spotter and a prohibition
crank. The republican press and
speakers rldiculed the presumption of
the alliance in supposing that he could
be elected. The night before election.
in this city, the republican speakers
were unanimous in saying that, latter
tomorrow this alliance movement will
never be heard from, and Jerry. the
anarchist, will be relegated to OBSCURE.
ty." Now the republican press has
discovered that Jerry ran seven thous
and votes behind the state ticket. Yet
Jerry is elected by 5000, and the state
ticket lacks 5000 of being elected. We
like the man who can run behind the
ticket and get elected, while the ticket
gets defeated. He has q ''get there
movement that pleases US. 1t is a slam
at prince Hal" to say that any ALI
ance man could have beaten him. w.
don't belive it. We say 2ow that there
are not dozen men in the district ;%sht
could have beaten him. and that Jerr,
deserves a great deal of credit for do
ing so. What is more, the people hav,
made no mistake in this matter. Simp
son Is better man in every way thar
Hal. He will make better representa-
tive. He win be found sober at al
times. He will work for the people
and when their interests are opposed t
corporations and combines, he will no
be q traitor TO the interests of his state
