Are Legal and Binding.

Chancellor Leatherman has ren- dered a decision to the effect that acts performed by female notaries are legal and binding. This opinion conflicts with one given out by Attor- ney General Murphy several months ago. In citing his opinion the chancellor cited several cases in other states, and further said that women were eligible to the postmas- tership in government employment. He said in substance that notwith- standing that postmaster, in the literal meaning as it stands on the federal statute boks, means man, yet women are appointed and called pOstmasters.

Wife Murderer Hanged.

John Bateman, colored, was hanged at Marion on the 2Sth in the presence of as many people as were allowed by law to witness executions, and in an inclosure surrounded by negroes, who assembled to sec the condemned man led from the jail yard. Bateman was convicted of poisoning his wife, and the evidence against him was largely made out by his. own confessions at various times to different persons, and yet on the scaffold he protested his in nocence, saying that he did not know the cause of his wife's death. Notwithstanding his protcstations of innocence no one believed him, and it is thought that at no time did he abandon hope of intervention on the part of the governor. He knew that an effort for communication of his sentence had been made, and he had in mind the fact that the scaffold on which he was to be hung had been built for a negro named Louis Strong, whose sentence of death had been commutcd to life imprisonment by Gov. Jones at practically the last moment.
