urged with reason, that one third o.
the time Of the house had been taker
up, heretofore, in roll call en- suspen
sion or the rules and IN passing from
one order OF business TO another
Business would be facilitated by TAX
ing It up in its regular order as II
appears on the calender; and thi,
would enable the members to get
some idea when certain bills might bt
expected TO come mp.

stay of execution In case OF judgement
lnflicting the death penalty, provides
that executiOnsshall take place at the
state penitentiary instead OF being
carried out by the several county

Stlllman on the ground that it re.
duced the time allowed for appeal
The bill was defeated, but later wa,
reconsidered. Flapg and Stlllmab
again got tangled up on the time al.
lowed for appeal, but tile point was
