OfCertiOrarI should Not BE Granted.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-The brief on
behalf of the Standard Oil Company OF
Indiana. respondents to the petition for
a writ of certioraIi filed by the Attorney
General Of the United States in the 500,
900 900 rebate case decided by Judge
lands. was handed to the clerk Of the
Supreme Court to-day. The brief is signed
by John s. Miller Moritz Rosenthal and
A. d. Eddy. The respondents submit
that the writ should not be granted for
the following reasons:
First-That section OF the act of
March 3, 1891, does not authorize review
in this court on the application of the
Government Of judgment In the Cir
cult Clurt OF Appeals in criminal case
by which writ Of error Of the defendant
is sustained and disposed of by reversing
the judgment and sentence OF the trial
court. That IL is at least an open ques-
ton.
Second-That IL the Supreme Court
has power to require a oertifcation Of
the case for review and determination
il would be under exceptional circum-
stances which do not evist in the present
case.
Third-There has been no final judg-
ment disposing OF the case such 90 would
admit of review by writ Of error, and the
case does not come within the exceptional
class to which certiorari will be granted
TO review decision Of the Court Of APP
peals before trial judgment.
Fourtb-The case does not come within
other limitations laid down by the Su-
preme Court as requisite to call for the
exercise Of the jurisdiction sought.

The old man dropped dead at his feet. The frightened boy be-. gan to cry. Pestriakoff fearing that the child would wake the neighbors, took him to his step mother in the potato cellar. He then returned, placed a rope around the body and dragged 1t to the beach. about 60 feet from where the murder was committed There he dragged the body through the water to oblIterate traces of blood. and afterward took 1t around a point about $50 yards to where there was little cove. Here he took the body from the water. dragged it up the bank, de posted 1t under some spruce boughs and covered it with moss.
 The next night, when darkness be, gan to gather, Petriakoff took his dory, secured the body, rowcd out. to sea and tied to it a heavy stone and threw it overboard
 The neighbors became alarmed att the sudden disappearance of the old man and began to search for him. They found traces of blood from the waters edge up the bank where the body had been laid Word was sentl at once to Kodiak for Marshal Bow. CTS. He responded and arrested the woman, but found that the young man had shipped the day before on the U 8. survey boat Patterson, which was then at Kodiak.

Pestriakoff is young man about twenty years old, with whom Mrs. Skvorzoff was vio. lently in love. The facts brought out at the trial. and not conuadicted, make up an astonishing story of de- pravity, eliminating in a cold bIooded murder. deliberately planned by the young wife and executed by her lover. The relations between Pest riakoff and Mrs. Skyorzorf existed
 for some time previous to the mm- der. The girl wife would frequently run away from her home and meet Pesulakorr in the wood or ig some lone cabin. and spend two or three  days with him. and then return to her home. When Skyorzotr was away from home Pesuiakoff would go and stay with his wife Some,
 times during the day the woman would be away in the wood, and at night would stay with the young man in what was called "a potato cellar" She had repeatedly urged young Pesuiakorf to kill the old man. either by knocking him on the head or by giving him poison, The night that the murder was com. mitted the young man and the wo. man were staying together in the potato cellar. She was particularly insistant that he should kill the old
 man and be done with it, About 1 o'clock. therefore. he went over to
 the old mans house, called him up and told him that he could show him
