MUST SIT IN THE DEATH CHAIR.
The Supreme Court Affirms the De
cisions in Two Murder Cases.

The Supreme Court firms the De-
cisions in Two Murder Cases.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.--Chief Justice
Fuller announced in the United States su-
preme court to-day that the court had
affirmed the decision of the lower court In
the cases Of Charles McElvaine. convicted
of the murder OF Brooklyn grocer named
Lucca, and Nicola Trezza, also convicted OF
murder. These men sought to secure writs
of habeas corpus upon Warden Brush of
Sing Sing prison. New York, to whose Gus
tody they were committed under sentence
OF death under the recent New York cleo
trocution law. Their appeals to the United
States court did not attack the
legality of the punishment of death
by means of electricity, the court
in the Jugiro aud other murder
cases having settled this question definitely,
but they maintained that the provision for
solitary confinement and other features OF
thelaw we're unconstitutional. Little hope
was entertained, however, that the decision
of the court would be favorable to the pris-
oners. Chief Justice Fuller ordered that
the mandate of the court should issue at
once SO that no further delay might occur
In executing the death sentence.
The supreme court adjourned to-day for
two weeks, it being customary to adjourn
over the Christmas holidays.
