charge of having murdered Manning
Riley, at Califon. Schuyler was To

erected for the execution.
Former Judge H. Is. Barr aud
Harry l.. Stout, who defended Schuy
Ter, made application to Governor
Stokes for another reprieve of 30 days

The Court of Pardens refused two
weeks ago to commute the sentence of
Schuyler, who had been reprieved
to permit the consideration of his
case.
An affidavit was presented To the
Governor by counsel, sworn to by
William Bard, of Easton. Pa, setting
forth that two weeks before the death
of Riley, l.angton Burd had commit
ed an assault on James Burd, father
of langtou, and that Riley lnterfered
and thrashed lmngtor for lighting
with his father. LaaSton and ilar
vey Burd got into fight With Riley.

giving Langton Burd severe thrash
ing, and the day Riley was killed

was on his way to Califon and would
return about $3.50 that night; that
Langton and Harvey Bird knew that
Riley was on his way to Califon and
WAS returning by way of the Burd
home.
Counsel contended that Schuyler
WIS an innocent man.
Governor Stokes received II letter
from Justice Reed, in which the latter
sad he did not think the verdict
should have been murder i'll the first
degree.
