CLIFFORD TO HANG.
Thursday, August II Fixed
as the Day of
Execution.
PRISONER DISPLAYS No FEELING
Judge Hoffman Will Make an APP
plieatiOn for a Writ
Of Error.
PRISONER DISPLAYS No FEELING

Justice Lippincott, in the Oyer and Ter
miner Court. this morning, sentenced De-
tective Edward Clifford to be hanged on
Thursday. August II. for the murder of
Division Superintendent William @. Watt
son, at Weehawkcn, on March 5 last.
Justice Lippincott sent for. Judge Huds-
peln and then read the opinion of the
Court on the application made by ex-
Judge Hoffman for a new trial. The APP
plication, he said, was made only on
technical grounds. The jury ~ceompanied
their verdict of murder of the first de-
gree with a consent or Recommendation
to mercy. The Court at the time called
attention to the fact that the recon-
mendation was no part Of the verdict. and
gave the jury leave to retire. The iurv
DECLINED to retire because they had al
ready decided upon their verdict. The
jury was polled at the request OF cou1-
sci Tor the defence, and each one voted
for murder Of the first degree. There
was then no uncertainty in their minds
about the effect of the verdict. Under the
law the Court has the right to disregard
the consent to mercy. Even if it had
peen received it would have no effect.
me consent to mercy was merely a
surplusage to the verdict and no part Of
u. 1t was an addition to and not a quail
ucallon or the verdict. Strictly speaking,
the Jury has nothing to do with the
question of punishment. Justice Lippin-
COY clted a number of decisions in sup
port OF the position taken by the Court,
ana said that the Court could see no
reason for setting aside the verdict. and
the motion for O. new trial was denied.
prosecution Winfield moved the iudg-
ment of the Court. In answer to Justice
L~appincott's formal question as to wheth-
er ne had anything to say why Judgment
should net be pronounced, Clifford an
sWered No, sir in a low voice. Sem
tence was then passed upon him. Clifford
displayed no emotion. He is buoyed up
with the expectation that e~x-Judge Hoff-
man and Lawyer Speer will yet save his
HE Judge Hoffman Will make. an APP
plication to Chancellor McGnl for a writ
Of error, and if it is denied the case

1t is expected that the Court Of Errors
viii soon decide the question of whether
a, writ of error is a writ of right in capi-
tai cases or only a writ Of grace. Some
Of the lawyers have inside information
that the decision will be that it is a writ
or right, the same as In all other cases.

Il lacked in numbers it made up in en-

the occasion and Mr.. Dougherty. at least
there was perfect unanimity of opinion
and no gold bugs to interfere.
This morning in the antechambers of
the Chancery Court Mr.. Dougherty en-
deavored to make converts among his
brothers-in-law. He tackled Messrs. w.

Famous Detectives.

England has produced many famous
detectives. but Notwithstanding the skill
of the present Scotland Yard officials, n
their immediate predecessors, they do not
seem to hold anything like the record
that American and French officials can
produce. Even America would seem to
rank second to France, where the system
Of espionage is of long standing. The in
trieues of court, and notably Of the French
Court in the Middle Ages. seem to have
bred the detective spirit among French
men. and today, al of old, it Is a n9to-
rious fact that secret service is in vogue
to Immense dimensions. Men are followed
everywhere. and their movements
watched; one does not know who may be
a spy, and even In private circles a So
called friend may be the agent OF the
Government. This sort OF thing consti.
tutes the Frenchfnan as a natural de-
~tective, with the consequence that large
numbers Of them possess q remarkable
political ~offendors there than they are
