JuRY FRoNT sEATs.
Supreme Court Asked TO Declare
Murder Trial Illegal.

Murder Trial Illegal.
The Supreme Court Of the United
States was asked yesterday 70 declare
illegal. under the Constitution. a trial
because the jury that convicted the ae-
eused of hrst-degree murder had been
promised front seats at the hanging
as a reward for conviction.
The case is that Of William Spaugh, Of
Iron County. No. who killed the sheriff.
Attorneys for Spaugh, arguing the case
yesterday. said that the new she>iff, a
man named Jordan. exercised undue in
fiuence over the jury that tried him, lay
ing emphasis on the affidavit of Joseph
A. Howard. preacher that Albert Chi
one of the jurors, told him that Jordan
not only promised to let the jury witness
the hanging, but gave the jurymen
whisky during their deliberations.
Spaughs attorneys base their appeal for
a new trial on the Caleb Powers decision.
They say;
Since the late decision of the Federal
Supreme Court, in the case of Caleb
Powers, of Kentucky, there can be no
question raised by the state, or the APP
pellees. as to the jurisdiction of the Fed
eral Supreme Court to review the final
decision of the State court as to whether
or not local prejudice undue influence,
improper act of the sheriff and guards
in charge of the jury. and the use Of
liquor prejudiced the jury against the
appellant or accused to such an extent
as to deny him a fair and impartial
trial."

Editions to an Emperor.

One of the most interesting features of the emperors visit was the number of petitions which were, so to speak, thrown at him during his fortnights stay. Scarcely once did his majesty drive out from the Hradschin without somebody attempting to present an appeal. Usually the petitioner was a small child and occasionally woman Most of the requests were for pc cuniary assistance. The emperor was always extremely courteous, and when. as frequently happened, the let ter missed the carriage and fell into the road he invariably ordered the coachman to stop while the document was brought to him. The household chancery is now dealing with some thing more than a hundred petitions thus unceremoniously presented. All of them are carefully investigated, and whenever 1t is possible something is done for the applicant.-Prague oorre- spondence Pail Mall Gazette.
