stand against having this state allow

very undesirable and would only prove
to be trouble makers in the south They
have no reverence for laws of any kind

could not swim and he plunged into wa

sank to the bottom. The body was re-
covered later. Crook lived near Keener

ago, having run away from home.

ATTORNEY GIVEN UNTIL FIRST

BILL OF EXCEPTIONS.
Will AIlege Error in the Admission of

Little to Say.

Henry E. Clay, convicted of the kill.
ing of Merchant George Gerber in this
city January 10, and sentenced to be
hanged May 26, in the court yard
here, has been granted a stay of execu.
ton pending the appeal of the case to
the supreme court, and the matter will
not be decided for the present. Mr..
Gibson, the faithful attorney for the
unfortunate man, has worked hard for
his client, and has been given until
the first day of the next term of the
bill of exceptions. Court Stenographer
Louis DeLario will prepare a transcript
of the evidence, and the case will go
to the state supreme court in an effort
to secur a new trial. A number of
grounds Will be included in the motion
for an appeal, the most important of
alleged confession made by William
Burney. alias Dicey, the negro who
pleaded guilty and received a sentence
of ten years in the p~enitentiary follow
ing the conviction of Clay, and the in
structions bearing upon that feature
of the case.
Clay refuses to discuss either the
overrulinS of the motion for a new
trial in his case yesterday or the filing
of a motion for an appeal to the su-
preme court. He seems utterly indif-
ferent to his surroundings, and if he
thinks much of his fate he does not
communicate his thoughts to Sheriff
Reals. He is moody and taciturn, sit
ting in his cell wrapped in the silence
of midnight. seeming to take little
notice Of what goes on about him.
He has discussed the matter very
sparingly since his conviction.
