THE FIGHT TO SAVE CLIFFORD.
Counsel Claim Acting Governor Watt
kins' Death Warrant Is Illegal.


Trenton, Dec. 2.---Another move was
made yesterday by counsel for Edward
Clifford to save him from suffering the
death penalty for the killing Of Super
intendent Watson, Of the West Shore
railroad. Clifford was convicted in the
Hudson county court. and his case
has been carried through the higher
courts Of the state and to the supreme
court Of the United States. Acting
Governor Watkins a few days ago is
sued a death warrant for the execu-
tion Of Clifford on Jan. next. Cliff
fOrd's counsel yesterday took out n
writ OF certiorarl and ralsed the ques-
tion as to the right of Speaker Watkins
to exercise the powers and privileges
of the position of acting governor. 1t
Is held by Clifford's counsel that Foster
M. Voorhees, is still the legal acting
governor. Notwithstanding that he re-
signed as senator from Union county.
Mr.. Voorhees, was president of the
acting governor. Mr.. Watkins as
speaker of the house, succeeded him.
The point is made that the position of
acting governor devolved upon Presi.
dent Of the Senate Voorhees, as an in
divldual. and not upon him as an Of
fetal. and that he should continue to
f1ll the position Of acting governor until
the election ~ the people of u sue
