ted the crime for which Shea is under sen
tercc of death. Mr. Hancock assumed
this responsibility 40 the request of the
governor. This action was made possible
by the voluntary surrender to the state
authorities OF all jurisdiction in the case
by District Attorney Kelly Of Rensselaer,
county.
Attorney General Hancock stated that
he would probably designate some special
attorney 20 take charge Of the matter but
had not decided who it would be.
The committee Of safety Of Troy IS de-
sirous that George Raincs of Rochester
and Deputy District Attorney Fagan, who
conducted the prosecution at the trial at
which Shea was convicted, should be Sc
loctod to act as special attorneys, because
they are thoroughly familiar with the
facts of the case, and particularly the tes-
timony Of the witnesses at the trial. on
tho other hand it IS thought that Deputy
Attorney General Hasbrouck and District
Attorney Burlingame Of Albany county,
who acted as special commissioners OF the
governor to take tho deposition of Nc
Cough at Danncmora. are the proper ones
to appoint.
There viii be no further developments
in the case until the motion for q now
trial is argued before Judge Mayham at
Schohnrio on Saturday, Jan. %.
