Madison, who is to be sentenced a second

ably the only man in the State who was

OF the Fayette county criminal court he
is dead and has been so since the 18th of
October. 1899 He was sentenced before
that time to be executed on October 2S,
1899, and in some way the court records
We're written up in such a way that they
snow that he was duly executed at that
time. He got an appeal and stay of ex-
ecution ana, the case has been hanging fire
IN the supreme Court until recently when
MS case was decided against him and
the criminal court of this county has
made an order directing that Madison be
taken from the penitentiary where he
has been awaiting the disposition of his
case, and brought here to be sentenced
again.
