AN EXPERT TO REVISE LAWS.
Gov. Hadley Advises Legislature to
Hire a Trained Man.

Jefferson City, Feb. 2O.-This being
the revising session Of the legislature
there has been much confusion about
the method Of revising the statutes
AL the rate the books have been
growing In the last few years the
statutes will be three large volumes,
too big for one man to carry at one
time unless there can be a plan
adopted for revision and condensation.
Gov. Hadley has conferred with
many members OF the legislature and
4 plan which he outlined in mes
nage Friday has their approval. In
discussing the situation, the governor
raid:
tit is manifest to one even limited
" familiar with the subject that work
81 this character can be much more
effectively, satisfactorily and cheaply
done by one who has had technical
experience and training in such work
than II can be done by experienced
legislators or lawyers Of high ability
who lack such technical knowledge
and experience. In short, the work Of
classifying compiling, editing, annotat.
ing and indexing statutory laws Is the
science Of bookmaking and to these
subjects men devote years Of train
ing and study who are employed by
ire leading publishing houses Of the
country to carry on this work. l
therefore deem 1t advisable and
recommend to this general assembly
that through the revision committee
It secure the services Of someone who
has had technical and expert expert
ence In this work.

supreme coprt Friday afternoon and a
stay Of sentence granted until March
s. Subway was condemned to die
for the murder Of Mrs. Sarah Martin,
a crime committed September 8. 1907.
The reprieve was granted under the
showing made in aftidavits that one
Of the Jurors who sat in the case com
mitted suicide because Of remorse
over bis acquiescence in the death
penalty and a further affidavit that
Shumway was struck on the head
when boy and that his mind was
affected in consequence. F. q.

reprieve, will seek a Communication OF
the sentence to life Imprisonment.
Shumway was prepared to die. He
had put on his death suit, a dark
gray instead Of the usual black, had
eaten his last dinner, had heard the
death warrant read to him while he
held the electric light so that Clerk
Heileman could see plainly, had told
Sheriff Trude, who guarded him when
the trial in the lower court was In
progress, that he would not be In

had listened to the ministrations OF a

set for his death, a crowd OF 100,

the prison walls to witness an exc
cution. waited in the cold broomcorn
warehouse and the hangman was
leaning against the scaffold waiting
for his victim. Then the warden ran
across the court crying out the re-
prieve and Shumway for a time was
saved.
The decision OF the supreme court
in the last appeal for rehearing was
evidently divided on the question,
Judge Rose not sitting. The evidence
on which Shumway was convicted
was purely circumstantial.

little figuring on the separate items
it was found that the figures had been
so juggled that il the contract had been
awarded to Baker, the state PRINTING,

When this condition was discovered
Baker asked for little time to go over
