only fact presented to him was that the
Sheriff or the Warden had not performed
their duty.
Mr.. Cook proceeded to argue at con5idera-
pie length, quoting various provisions Of
the United States constitution. beginning
with the preamble, to show that Mr.. Druggy
was entitled to the blessings of liberty that
the citiZens Of each State are entitled to all
privileges and immunities of citizens in the
several States; that no person shall be de-
priyed OF life. liberty or property without
due process OK law, ana that no State shall
make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunites OF citi-
zens of the United States.
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.
All these constitutional rights of the de-
fendant bad been violated by the imposi-
ton of sentence that he be hanged by the
Sheriff, and it was the duty of the Federal
courts to set him at liberty. Mr.. Cook
likewise raised the point that when the
State Supreme Court undertook to c0nstrue
the United States constitution in connec-
ton with the State Political and Penal
Codes a question had clearly been raised
Tor the consideration Of the Federal courts
Attorney-GeneTal Hart reviewed all the
legislation on the subject and quoted from
Supreme Court decisions TO show that the
defendant could be executed by the Sheriff
and that section 800 of the Political Code
operated as saving clause.
Judge HcKenna dismissed the writ and
ordered Bruggy remanded to the custody of
Sheriff Mulgrew. Mr.. Cook thereupon asked
for a stay Of proceedings under certain
rules OF practice in the Circuit Court, but
Judge McKenna held such rules had no
relevancy 10 the case at bar. Finally Mr.
Cook asked that minute be made of his
notice to take an appeal TO the Circuit Court
OF Appeals. Judge MeKenna said he would
give this motion consideration.
Buggy was taken TO the County Jail last
night, and to-day will be taken back to
Santa Rosa. 1t is understood that he is to be
retrieved for Is or 30 days more. Governor
Markham in a telegram to Judge McKenna
from Pasadena signlfed that it was his in
tentiou to grant the prisoner another re-
prieve. So he will not suffer judicial stIan-
