DOHERTY.

1t has been and is generally, but er-
roneously, understood that the Su-
preme Court of Vermont is the court
of last resort for cases tried in this
state. For this reason it was believ-
ed that, as the Surpeme Court denied
the petition of Charles Doherty for
new trial on the ground of insanity
on Friday this decision settled his
fate and nothing could now be done
to prevent his death sentence being
carried out on December 6.
f. II. Deavitt, ESQ, attorney for
Doherty, and who has fought for his
life so valiantly, said today that the
case could be carried to the United
States Supreme Court, if Doherty's
friends desired it, and he believed
that if it were carried there the Yer
mont courts decision would be re-
versed
The case would be taken there on a
writ of error setting up mainly that
the sentence is illegal and contrary
to the provisions of the State Consti-
tuition, i'll that it provides that session
of the Legislature shall intervene be-
tween the imposing and carrying out
of death sentence. Mr.. Deavitt
holds that while the case of Doherty
has been before the Legislature, yet
this petition for a new trial places
the case on new basis, and for this
reason he is entitled to a hearing be-
fore the Legislature, before the exc
cution of the pending sentence as
much as though his case had never
come up before.
He also holds that another impC rtant
point for taking the case before the
United States Supreme Court is that
the petition just denied has not re-
ceived proper considera tion.
If these proceedings are entered into
1t will entail great expense, as all
the testimony in the case taken in
county court and embodied in the pc
tition for trial would have to be re-
printed This expense alone would
probably exceed $500 Execution of
sentence would have to be STAYED Ell
ther through executive Intervention
or by the same process as was employ
ed recently in the Storti case of Bos-
ton, by bringing the case before
Judge Wheeler of the United States
Circuit court.
Mr. Deavitt was unable to say
whether these proceedings would be |
instituted or not, but has looked up |
several Vermont cases in which the |
United States Supreme Court has re-
versed the rulings of the Supreme |
Court of this State and ordered new |
trial. 1t is held that the evidence in
troduced in this petition for new |
trial to prove that Doherty was insane |
when he shot Fred Murphy, and is |
now insane is a question of fact
rather than law, and for this reason
should be properly passed upon by a
jury.

President Roosevelt Issues His First
Proclamation

President Roosevelt Issues His First
Proclamation.
Washington, Nov, ?. 49, President
Roosevelt today issued his first
Thanksgiving proclamation, and sets
Nov. 2S as the day to be observed
He makes the usual recommendation
to cease all employment and repair to
houses of worship, speaks of McKin-
ley's death and says we mourn him
because we loved hm so. "The man
ner of his death should awaken keen
anxiety for the country and at the
same tim resolute purpose not to be
driven by any calamity from the path
of strong, orderly, popular liberty,
which AS nation we have thus far
safely trod, Yet, in spiteof this great
disaster, it is nevertheless true that
no people on earth have such abund-
ant cause for Thanksgiving as we
have We can best prove our thanks
in fullness to the Almighty by the
way in which on this earth and at
this time each does his duty to his fell
low man.. >"
