Lawyer semple. 0rasping the lawyers

Lambert. who had been sentenced to
be hanged on Dec. IL. was granted a
reprieve from that date to to-day. On
Dec. I last. Just one year from the
date Of the murder, the Board Of Par
dons heard the case and refused to
interfere. The Governor had granted
the reprieve. awaiting the action Of the
Board " PArdons. Then came Lawyer
Semple with his sensation that stayed

The lawyer declared that the Governor
had no right to grant the reprieve. and
that Lambert was legally dead. having

Before retiring last night, Lambert

willing to meet his God. He professed
repentance. and the parting between
Lambert and his mother was very affec-
tionate.
Whsn Lambert awoke this morning. he
dressed himself in neat dark suit OF
clothing which had been furnished him
for the occasion, and was praying with
his spiritual adviser and waiting to be
summoned to his doom. When the
Sheriff entered the corridor where Lam
berts cell was situated. he and the
clergyman thought Lamberts time had
come.
Lambert's spiritual adviser told him to
keep up his courage and face his doom
bravely. Lambert replied that he was
not afraid to die. As soon as Sherin

CASE OF JUDGE RICKs.
House Judiciary Committee viii lie
Asked to Take II III.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-There is "A
probability that the full Committee on
Judiciary of the House will consider
the case OF Judge Kicks. of Cleveland,
Ohio. and make a report to the House
without the Intervention OF the Sub
Committee which Investigated the
charges.
Representative Bailey. of Texas. the
Chairman OF the Subcommittee. has
been too III to give the matter the
necessary attention. and says he viii
lay the matter before the Judiciary
Committee at Its session tomorrow.
and without making any recommenda-
tions on the merits OF the case. will
usk that the full committee consider
the evidence which was gathered in
Cleveland, and decide what action to
take.
If the Committee should recommend
that Judge Kicks be tmpeached IL is
hardly probable that impeachment pro
ceedings could be begun during this
session of Congress.
