Schneider. sentenced to be hanged Friday
next for the murder of his wife. this
afternoon pursued the course -outlined in
Saturdays STAR. by making application to the
United States Supreme Court for q writ OF
habeas corpus and writ of error.
Mr.. Mattinglv explained to the court that the

writ OF habeas corpus issue from the supreme
Court was based on the ground that the

bring that question before the latter court.
While counsel for defendant we're cogni-

fairly and impartiRlly constituted jury, had not
been determined In either of those cases.

Mattingly replied that it had been made several
weeks ago. but that the intervening time had
been mostly taken IN an inquiry TO the mans
sanity. the court finally determining that he
was not insane.
The chief justice. after a consultation with
his associates. directed Mr.. Mattingly TO have
the papers printed this afternoon and file them.
Mr. Mattingly stated that he would do SO and
the chief Justice indicated by polite nod Of
the head that the matter was at an end
