NEW COMPLICATION
In KENT EXECUTION
Some Lawyers Inclined to Believe That
Holding Of Legislature Session in
January Of Next Year VIII
Act as Reprieve.

VIII Elrov Kent, the man convicted
.of numbering Della C.qgdou, hang on
January l3, is question which has been
raised by several prominent lawyers &c
Montpelier and elsewhere about the
state within the last few days, and it is
rapidly causing no little comment among
the legal fraternity and Others who werV
connected with the trial. The lawyers
base their query on the statutes relating
to the time set for executions, and they
claim that as the present legislature has
adjourned over into January and will
probably be in session on the day set for
Kent's execution, that fact reprieves him
for another year, and that he win have
to be brought before county court
again for resentence.
Section 266 Of the Vermont statutes
reads as follows; "No person sentenced
to suffer the punishment OF death shall
be executed previous to the first day Of
January after the close Of the session
of the general assembly following such
sentence; and the court shall, at the
time OF such sentence, order a warrant
to be issued by the clerk, under the seal
OF the court for the county in which
such sentence IS passed, to the sheriff of
the county where the state prison is sit
uated, commanding said sheriff to carry
such sentence into effect
What the outcome of the discussion
will be is not known yet, but will be
settled within a few days. Only a few
days ago the legislature refused to com
mute Kents sentence to life imprison-
