term Of the state supreme court. not later
than the twentyfifth. April % the date
on which. according to sentence the BAN
dts were to be hanged. will be the
twenty-seventh day of the supreme court
term. The fact developed that attorneys
for the defense had been quietly waiting

term of the criminal court expires Pro-
ceedings were then to be instituted to
have the sentence set aside and the three
bandits released. The states attorney is

today for writs of habeas corpus in be-
