WITHDRAW The APPEAL
Action Taken by Counsel for Man Convicted
of Murder.
Appeal to BE Made for Executive
Clemency-Judge Issues War
rant of Execution.

The appeal in the case of James Powell,
colored. convicted Of mu; der, and under
sentence to be hanged the nth of next
month. has been dismissed in the Court Of
Appeals, by direction of Attorney Thomas
L. Jones, representing Powell on being
officially notified of this action Justice Ga
baugh in Criminal Court No. l, today di-
rected that the clerk prepare and forward
TO the warden of the District jail the war
rant of execution, This was accordingly
done.
1t is understood that counsel and the
friends of Powell intend exerting them
selves to the utmost to secure executive
clemeacy for him. They have therefore
transferred the scene of their endeavors
from the Court OF Appeals to the White
House, and express themselves as san
guine Of success.
Powell was convicted of the murder of
Patsy Lee, colored, on 9TH street, near O
street, a few moments after the men had
departed from an entertainment in progress
at the o Street ArmOry. He was tried be-
fore Justice Clabaugh in Criminal Court
No. L, a verdict of guilty being reported the
2Sth of last April A motion for new
trial was filed and argued. This Justice
Clabaugh Overruled and the 18th of last
May he sentenced Powell to be hanged the
18th of August. 1t was an interesting coin
cidence that the 18th of May, after SEN
tence had been imposed, Powell returned to
jail reaching there just as the execution
of Edward Smith, for the murder of Ed
monia Jackson. was concluded.
The Court of Appeals, not being in seS-
sion during the summer, and an appeal
having been noted. the President. the 18th
of July, respited Powell until the 18th of
November In order that the appeal might
be disposed of. Unless the President takes
further action, the convicted man will be
led to the gallows at noon that day, the
order of the court, in forwarding the war
rant of execution today, being a direction
to Warden Harris to prepare for and car
ry into effect the execution.
