BELL TELEPHONE SETBACK

WASHINGTON, April IL. 1Ss7.-The
Supreme Court of the United States de-
MED the petition for a writ of certiorari
in the case of the American Bell Tele-
phone Company VS.. The Western Union
Telegraph Company to compel the Circuit
Court of Appeals for the first circuit to
certify the case to the Supreme Court.
The case involves the question of royal
ties claimed from the Bell Company by
the Western Union Company and was
originally brought in the Circuit Court
for the District of Massachusetts to Sc
cure an account of these royalties. 1t is
understood that about s5,oO0.00o is in
volved.
1t appears that after instituting the
suit the Western Union sought to have
it dismissed, and after it was dismissed
the Bell Company appealed to the Cir
cult Court of Appeals, when decision Of
he Circuit Court was reversed. The
Western Union Company sought to have
the case reviewed by the Supreme Court,
but the opinion rendered today denies this
petition.
This has the effect of taking the case
back to the Circuit Court for further pro-
ceedings in accordance with the decision
of the Circuit Court of Appeals. The case
is known as the Stock Ticker case.

A HEART RENDlNa INTERVIEW
Mackin's Mother in Violent HYs-

Double Hanging.

The last hours of Paul GEM and John
Mackin, who are to expiate their crimes
on the gallows in the County Jail to-
morrow are rapidly approaching. lawyer
William S. Stuhr's final effort in behalf
of Gen did not meet with any success
and he has made up his mind that moth
ing further can be done to stay the course
of the law. Mr.. Stuhr's effort was an app
peal to Governor Griggs for a reprieve in
order to give him an opportunity to lay
some new facts before the Court of Par
ton Of sentence. Mr.. stuhr sent a letter
enclosing a letter frona Dr.. w. W. Ward,
superintendent of the asylum at Trenton.
DR.. Ward was a witness at GEMS trial
enough to be responsible for his act and
to know the difference between right and
wrong.
that DR.. Ward considers GEM mentally
unbalanced to a slight degree and it has
been ascertained that there is a streak Of
t deciineaa t. to int inte aanssy any y0 further. 1i ssss
eral competent tribunals. have passed
upon the question of Genz,s responsibility
and decided that he must pay the penalty
for his crime.
Harry Mackin, Johns father. saw
Lawyer John DENIM and told him that
the family preferred that no further eff
anything that might be lone would be
fruitless and they have all, including John
himself, became recoTlciled to the inevi-
table. John is fully, prepared to die and
it would be worse h cruel to do any
thing now that would raise false hopes,
as the end would only be made more try
ing thereby.
Mackin's mother called on him yester-
day afternoon. She was accompanied by
another son and an aunt of the con
demned man. Mrs. Mackin bore up fairly
well until it was time to al her leave.
Then she was seized with a violent att
men could scarcely restrain her. Her
shrieks rang out through the Jail corri-
doris and could be heard down stairs and
even out on the street. All efforts to
to be done but let the attack run Its
course.
John made a heroic struggle to restrain
himself and comfort his mother, but he
soon broke down and his tears mingled
with hers. Mrs. Caen who has taken a
friendly interest In GEM, was paying him
a visit at the time and she n GEM
were deeply affected by the trying scenes.
Mrs. ,Mackin will take final leave of
her son this afternoon n the ordeal is
dreaded by he officials in the jail.
Hangman James Van Hise brought the
his carpenters wagon and stored it in the
jail yard. He and his sons will erect it
in corridor No. 6 this afternoon. All the
prisoners were taken out of that corri-
dor this morning. The entire death watch
will remain on duty all night tonight SO
that there will be three men guarding
each murderer. The first execution will
morrow, and 1t Is expected that it will be
all over in time to permit the second to
take place at half past ten. GEM will
probably be executed first.
