Refused the Writ.

Tuesday John Kennedy was taken
to Lexington by sheriff Wilson and
Deputy Sheriff Dawson, where his
counsel argued the case for writ of
habeas corpus before Judge Letcher.
The point made was that the officer is
required to make return OF the exc
cntion to the court issuing writ, and
that as the county court is no longer
in existence it is impossible to carry
out this requirement. At the conclu-
sion of the argument, which occupied
about three hours, Judge Letcher re-
fused to grant the writ, and Kennedy
was returned to Jail here that after
noon. His counsel prepared and GENT
and appeal to the Supreme Court at
Richmond, but it also refused to in
terfere.
The gallows has been completed and
! every arrangement made, and the
hanging will take place today at some
hour between sunrise and sunset.

Will Not Hang To-day
Governor Respites Kennedy
For Thirty Day.

A telegram from the SPECTATOR
staff correspondent now in Richmond
received yesterday says :4aa"Governor
has ordered stay of the execution OF
John Kennedy for 80 days"
The hanging of John Kennedy is
scheduled for today. Before this paper
reaches our subscribers it will likely
have taken place. 1t is needless to
say that the SPECTATOR did all 1T
could to avert such a spectacle and
avoid if possible the denomination Of
such an occurrence ard such a scene
1t is not often Augusta county has
her hands dipped in the. blood of any
victim, and we regret that she has
now been compelled to witness sight
we hoped might be averted. If the
ex ecution had taken place before our
issue went to press, we could not des-
crlbe it any more accurately than We
did in our issue OF last week. Since
our last issue other efforts have been
made to avoid the hanging. Counsel
for the prisoner thought the courts
might grant writ of habeas corpus,
and that on this account the execution
m light be delayed. But the Circuit
Court and the Supreme Court have
both held that there have been no
errors ON account of the trial being in
the County Court. and the execution
being under the supervision of the
Circuit Court, so that practically end
ed all hope. Still there was one more
effort made to prolong for short time
at least the life of the boy. The min
listers of the gospel of the city OF
Staunt on, with the exception of two
who could rot be found owing to the
short time in which to act, signed a
petition asking the Governor to grant
a short stay, in order that the youth,
who had possibly not realized that
death was SO ear, owing to the fact
that his counsel hoped for Intervention |
by the courts, might have little more
time to prepare for eternity. I. 1t was
thought up to within less than SO
hours of the time fixed for execution
that he might have had hope of liv-
ing and that to cut him off with so
little time to cont emple his certain
doom would not be done if the atten.
ton of the Governor were called to
the fact. This petition was sent by
a special messenger and placed in the
hands of the Governor. After
some time the Governor
granted stay of execution for thity
days. So there will be no hanging
today.

that is ever carried In stock. Com
pound defects of the eye, however,
require compound lenses. If there
is present not only nearsiehted
condition, but also a muscular
weakness. it is necessary to make
special lens that will relieve
both troubles at once. .Sometimes
there is a complication of three, or
even four defects. These must all
be neutralized and corrected by
one lens. No one else but the per-
son for whom they are made can
ever wear the glasses. I give es-
pecial attention to measuring and
correcting complicated defects, l
order the lens made for your es-
pecial use. In these cases, / re-
quire from three to four days to
get them ready for you.
