eutor Erwin opened the matter by pre-

Attorney General Grey maintained that
it was not necessary to bring up the war
rant issued by the Governor, as the former
commitment was sufficient to this con-
tention.
Mr.. Stockton made an elaborate argu-
ment claiming that the death warrant
was defective. Mr. Stockton challenged
the right of any Governor to issue death
warrant Justice Depue suggested that
the two writs be argued together, and De-

argument. The lawyers in the case Will
