SEVEN TINES SAVED
RRMARRABLR APPEALS TO PROLoN0
MURDERER'S LIFE

This appeal failed. Appeal No. 3 va
an application Tor q wit Of habebas
corpus on the ground that the verdict
Of the jury vas guilty, e. proved
and as the presentment was murder
IN the arst, second, third and fourth
degrees, Nordstrom could not be held
for more than the lowest degree. This
adroit plea was inehectual, but it
served fits purpose Of adding anoGnog
u months TO the prisoners life.
Appeal No. 3 was taken on ne
ground that Nordstrom was q SWedi8h
citizen and, therefore, entitled 70 .
trial before q grand Jury. Lewis 80
cured a stay Of execution, but the Su-
preme court, after another ~ months
elaboration, took the stand that this
appeal might be made By the Swedish
government With hope Of success.
though not BY the prisoners counsel
Insanity Plead.
Appeal No. was a declaration that
the prisoner had become insane and
therefore could not legally be put TO
death. A delegation OF physicians vas
sent By the state 70 examine Nord-
strom, and they pronounced him sana
By this time the local court had be-
come fingered at the devices Of Lewis
and ordered Nordstrom to Be hanged
In 10 days.
Appeal No. was put forward on
the ground that the prisoners sanity
should have been decided By q Jury.
Lewis rushed across the continent 70
Narragansett pier and obtained q stay
Of execution from Justice McKenna
This put the whole matter back 60
the Supreme court and gave another
year and q half Of life to the muir
derer.
Appeal No. 6 was made 70 the Unit
ed States Circuit court, Lewis main
tanning that the prisoner should be
discharged because q review had been
denied him by the State Supreme
court. Lewis claims that new evil
dence has been discovered, which
proves that the murder was moth
ing more than an accident.
And 30 there has come an end 20
the most extraordinary fight for life
ever made by q lawyer on behalf Of .
client Nordstrom had neither prop
erty nor wealthy friends. Previous to
the trial he had never seen James
Hamilton Lewis. His prolonged de-
tense has been due simply to the In
domitable perseverance and pugnaeity
Of his lawyer.
Nordstrom's last appeal to the Unit
ed States Supreme court was refused
BY that tribunal on Tuesday last, and
he win soon be executed.

ing $3.50, 100000. The vol alone from
the 12O.OO0,000 sheep raised in 1900
was worth $100,O0O,000. The mineral

guessed at. In the last forty-eight
years the country has produced gold
to the value Of 1880, 900 900, in the
last twenty silver to the value Of $780,
