POsTPoNEMEnT ORDERED.
Courts Fix New Dates for Execution
of Funk and smell.

OF runk andASneH.
Justice Cole, in Cnmiual Court No q.
today postponed the dates-of the execution
OF Frank w. Funk, convicted of the mur-
der of William H. Brooks, from next Fri
day, the 11th instant, until Friday. the
10th of June. In Criminal Court No. 1
Justice Clabaugh took similar action in
the case of Benjamin H. Smell, convicted
of the murder of Lizzie Weisenberger The
postponement was made necessary by rea-
son of the fact that the cases were only
submitted to the Court of Appeals Thurs
day of this week 1t is not known exactly
when the opinions will be handed down
Even should they be- recorded early next
week ana De adverse to the appellants Suf-
nc1ent time would not then be left to them
to prepare for the execution originally set
for next Friday.
When he entered court today Funk was
tne picture OF health, having improved
notlceably since the trial. He was neatly.
even stylishly dressed, and presented an
eminently respectable appearance The
prisoner evinces the greatest interest in
MS case he conversed for several min
utes regarding the proceedings with his
counsel, Attorneys D. W. Baker and Alex
ander Wolf
1t is reported that Funk has adopted the
Catholic faith and is visited daily at the
jan Dy priest He persists in maintain
ing that he is innocent of the murder of
MT. Brooks. and has strong hopes that
the Court of Appeals will grant him new
trial.
In direct contrast to that of Funk was
the appearance of Smell This veritable
giant shufied into the court room looking
decidedly unkempt. His trousers We're torn
badly at one knee. He took absolutely no
interest in what was transpiring, has ac-
tions being altogether mechanical. Smell
IS represented by Attorneys Turner and
Mitchell. In moving the court to grant a
respite Mr.. Turner took occasion to say
that the condition of the mind of the con-
demned man has deteriorated to a marked
extent since the trial, and that an effort
Is to be made to have him further exam
1ned by experts on insanity.

cipal personages in japanese Romances in
