How and Why Doherty's Case Goes
to the U. s. Supreme Court.

1t was briefly stated in a news item in
this paper last week that Charles Do
herty, the murderer Of Fred Murphy,
would not be hung on Dec. 6 as directed
by the Vermont supreme court. because
his case was to be carried to the United
States supreme court on a writ OF error.
1t appears that seven errors are claim

ed by Doherty's counsel in their assign
ment Of errors filed with the clerk Of the
supreme court. Six of these errors re-
late to the claim set forth as to
Doherty's insanity, but the main point
on which his counsel rely in carrying
his case to the United States supreme
court is that our state supreme court, in
its decision announced Nov. LIST, should
have fixed the second date for Doherty's
execution at some time after the session
Of the legislature of 1902. This claim is
set up under the Vermont statute which
provides that: mo person sentenced to
suffer the punishment of death shall
be executed previous to the first day of
January next after the close of the ses-
sion of the general ASSEMBLY next fol-
lowing such sentence"
Doherty, then % years Old shot Fred
Murphy of westmore, three or four
years younger. at Bolton Falls, near
Waterbury, in February 1899. The MUIR
der was apparently premeditated and
done in cold blood. Murphy fingered for
six weeks in living death, and wasted
literally to skeleton, before he died at
the Mary Fletcher hospital. On Do
hertys trial before Judge Watson at
Montpelier the following September he
was found guilty. No plea of insanity
was raised, although Doherty testified
in his own behalf and his brother was
present throughout the trial. His coun-
sci, Frank Plumley of Mortified and e.
H. Deavitt of Montpelier, carried his
case to the state supreme court on ex
ceptions, which were overruled, and
Chief Judge Taft sentenced Doherty to
be hung Feb. G. 1901. The legislature of
1900 refused to commute his sentence. A
few days before the time fixed for his
execution his counsel procured a stay of
proceedings on the ground of newly-dis-
covered evidence showing Doherty's in
sanity. The petition for a new trial was
argued at the last May term, and Nov.
LIST, as already said, the court announced
its decision denying the petition for a
new trial and fixing Dec. 6 Ctoday) as the
date of Doherty's execution.
These are the facts briefly told. 1t is
not known how soon the case can be
reached in the United States supreme
court. Usually 1t takes two to four years
to reach case in that court, but it is
customary to advance cases of this kind
on the calendar. 1t is doubtful If
Doherty's counsel have any confidence
that the points raised in regard to his
alleged insanity will avail. Their main
hope, as said in the beginning, IS un-
doubtedly that the United States court
may say that our state court ought to
have fixed the second date of execution
at some day after the session of the leg
islature of 1902. 1t is to be presumed
that this point was fully considered by
the judges of our state supreme court
If it prevails it is evident that, by means
of successive petitions for a new trial.
and the consequent postponement of the
dates of execution, the enforcement of
the death penalty may be delayed in
definitely whenever a murderers counsel
choose to avail themselves of such a
method of procedure.

Relations of National Guard Should
Be Clearly Defined.

Secretary of War Root made the follow
ing recommendation in his recent annual
report
1.-The present provisions of law relating
to the militia, and to the raising of vol
unteer forces, are quite imperfect and
unsatisfactory. The militia law stands
today practically as it was enacted In
1892, and is practically obsolete. 1t is
very desirable that Congress should now
exercise the power conferred upon it by
the Constitution to provide for organic
ing, arming and disciplining the militia.
The organization and armament OF the
National Guard of the several states,
which are treated as militia in the ap-
preparations made by Congress, should be
made the same as those provided by
Congress for the regular and volunteer
forces The relations of the National
Guard organizations to the national
forces, and the obligations and duties of
those organizations in time of war should
be clearly defined, so that the confusion
and distress regarding their action which
accompanied the outbreak of the war
with Spain may not again occur.
The reliance of the country for the
large forces necessary in modern warfare
must necessarily be chiefly upon volun-
teers. The method and procedure of rails
ing volunteers forces should be prescrib-
ed in advance, so that instead of waiting
to devise plans for volunteer army
until the excitement and haste of impend-
ing war make perfection of design diff
cult and satisfactory execution impossi-
BILE. Congress will have but to direct the
execution of a well understood plan by
officers, each of whom has long been
familiar with the part he is to play.
1t is recommended that the National
Guard be armed with the small arms OF
the regular army and treated as a first
reserve to be called into service at times
of military necessity or civil disorder.

An interesting case has recently been
decided relating to the settlement OF
estates under the law of 1896. John l..
and Josiah b. Divoll of Rockingham were
the executors of oscar d. Olcutt's estate
of that town In its decree for distribu-
ton, the probate court allowed the widow
$1,000 and one-half the remainder of the
estate, and also $500 as a homestead.
The executors thought this decision not
in accordance with the law of 1896, and
took an appeal, based solely on the
question of the allowance of $500 as a
homestead. The county court held that
the widow was not entitled to the $500.
Exceptions were taken and when the case
came before the supreme court it was
agreed by counsel that the county court S
decree should be affirmed without a
hearing, the decision thus being in favor
of the claim of the executors. This is
said to be the first case to come before
the court under the act in question.

"Sam Parker" Missino.


After several narrow escapes from
an untimely death it is thought that
Sam Parker has given up the ghost
and departed from this life. Ever
since his birth Sans HE has been
an eventful one. and he and his moth
er and two brothers. Prince David and
wilikoki. have had a good deal of
space devoted to them in the local pa.
pers in recounting their numerous
thrilling adventures.
Before going any further it may be
proper to state that Sam and his
brothers and mother are cats They
live on the Pacific Mail wharf and
are the pets of everybody who spend
much Of their time on the wharf.
When Sam was very Young cat he
and his family distinguished them
selves by getting locked up in the
fumigating room on the wharf and GO
ing through a fumigation tor twenty
four hours. When the doors were
opened the mother cat and her three
sons crawled out OF the smoke room
very much the worse for the fumiga-
tion. They were nursed back To health
by the watehman on the wharf and
some of the customs guards After
this experience Sam was brought into
prominence by falling overheard into
the hay and being rescued by kind
hearted newsboy who stripped himself
and plunged into the briny after the
kitten. He next fell into an open tub
Of sake and was almost picked before
being rescued by his mother who was
near by when the mishap occurred.
When the freight from the Hong
kong Maru was placed in the fumigst-
ing room on Thursday Sam and his
brother Wiiikoki went in also and
were locked in when the doors were
closed. Their predioament was dis.
covered too late 20 nherate them, aud
so they had TO be left To their fate.
Yesterday when the doors were OPEN

the pure air and after a couple of
hours was as frisky as ever. but Sam
was nowhere in sight. and as the
freight was removed a careful search
was made for him. but nothing was
seen OF him. Up to late hour last
night he had not turned up and his
many friends will be sorry % hear Of
