hose rendered Icy the court of appeals
saturday morning.
The opinion in the ease was written
" Judge Ilazclri"g. Ia whom both the
Jackson and Nalilnr eases were sub.
nittcd for a careful examination.
The evidence and lawyers brie y
were read Ly Judge llazelriEg a fort
light ago, but Saturdays decision was
not written until after the jackson
appeal was ont of the way.
The points OF law in the decision
saturday are different from those in
he other appeal, and this accounts for
he fact that they were rendered sep
Irately.
In all points, however, the court
nolds that the exceptions of Walhng's
lawyers are not backed by sufficient
cgal usage. and Judge Helms rulings
ARE affirmed
The decision of the Walliug case
makes il probable that jackson and

ing of the lower court will in all prob
ability lead to a double hanging. Such
has been the expectation of Sherif fl
Plummer and the other county officials
all along. When the death warrants
shall finally reach Newport orders will
be given by the sheriff or county COM
missioners for a double scaffold in the
Jail yard. The trap for both men will
be sprung at the same instant.

words.
He did not even look up, but went
