There Appears to Be a Slight Chance for
HIS Freedom.


His Freedom.
Washington, July 14.-The clerk of the
United States supreme court states that
it will probably be some months before the
case of murderer Nordstrom of Seattle
is finally decided 1t will be remember

Lewis, counsel for Nordstrom, was here
during the last term of the supreme court
it was ordered by the court that further
arguments or points in the case should be
submitted by Nordstroms attorney and
the attorney general of the state, in print
ed briefs. One of the judges recently
stated to your correspondent that he was
anxious for a full presentation of this
case. as the point raised therein seemed

counsel for Buchanan, the New York
murderer, was arguing his motion for an
appeal in this court, he referred for an
authority, to the Nordstrom case alleg-
ing them to be somewhat similar. The
court in denying the appeal of Buchanan,
stated that the Nordstrom case rested
upon wholly different basis, and was
clearly distingushable from the Buchan-
an case.
1.-The present case, said the court,
"claims no constitutional right, prescrib-
ed by the federal constitution, or privi-
lege, prescribed by any act of congress-"
The contention of Nordstroms attor-
ney, on the other hand, is that he has
guaranteed to him, by the act of congress
admitting the state of Washington TO the
Union, the privilege of trial by indict-
ment
