81 ana innocent" said Howard. 1.-The
jury has passed on that question. and
all the court can do is to pass sen.
tence on you"
The court then turned 10 the clerk
and directed that the sentence be sus-
pended for go days, pending an appeal
to the court of appeals.
The fixing OF December as the day
for Howard's execution does not
mean that he will necessarily be
hanged on that day. Howard has 60
days from Saturday i'm which to file
his appeal and a transcript of the
trial record in the court of appeals.
II he fails TO file il in that time then
he would. of coure, have to be exc
cutcd on December 7. But IL he files
it in proper time then il is with the
court of appeals as to how long the
decision will be delayed. It can be
delayed until January or later, in
which event the governor is required
TO fix another date for the hanging
if the sentence is affirmed.
