STAY FOR PHELPS
Writ Of Error in Case Of Monroe
Bridge Murderer

Writ Of Error in Case OF Monroe
Bridge Murderer
Boston, Jan. 4.-Justice Holmes Of
the supreme court of the United
State late yesterday afternoon re-
fused to grant the writ of error
commanding the lower court to send
the case of Silas n Phelps, the Mon
roe Bridge outlaw who murdered
Deputy Sheriff Emmett F. Haskins,
to the supreme court. Attorney Will
liam A. Davenport, counsel for
Phelps, sent an assistant to Washing
ton the first of the week to file the
writ of error with the supreme court.
The writ was based on the constitu-
tional question of the right OF the
deputy sheriff to enter the deten-
dants premises without a warrant
when, it was claimed. no felony had
been committed
Phelps was sentenced to die in the
electric chair at the stateprison dur
ing the week beginning December 81,
1911, but he was yesterday given a
respite of Is days, pending the out
come of the appeal to the supreme
court. Acknowledgement Swift holds
that the respite expires at midnight
on the goth, and that Phelps execu-
ton may take place at any time in
the week beginning at that hour.
Only one thing now can save the
condemned man from the death chair
The new executive council TO be
sworn in today, has the power to
commute the sentence from death to
life Imprisonment, if asked to do so
by Gov Foss. The present executive
council refused to commute the sen
tence last week.
AS soon as the executive council
had sworn in the new Legislature
yesterday Gov Foss presented pc
tition TO the council asking for re
spite for 80 days for Phelps. Sever
al members of the council opposed
such an extension but it was finally
agreed to allow Is days 10 bring
about further legal proceedings by
Phelps attorneys. A question i'm
mediately arose as to the date and
expiration of the Is days, SO mes
sage was sent TO the encouragement
asking for a ruling on the case and
fixing the day and hour of the begin
ming and ending OF the respite as
well as the last hour for the con-
demned man.
Word of the granting of the respite
was carried to the state-prison by
WilliamA. Davenport, counsel for
Phelps, and the condemned man
seemed much relieved and more hope
full of ultimate Communication. 1t is
many years since such a petition has
been granted in this state to a pris-
oner who stood so close to suffering
the death penalty.
Acknowledgement Swift replied to
the question OF the council by fixing
midnight on the goth as the time Of
the expiration of the respite, and his
execution any time in the week be-
ginning at that hour. Unless the in
coming executive council grants his
petition for Communication to life i'm
prisonment during the next two
weeks Phelps will probably suffer
death early Monday morning on the
22d, although 1t is within the power
OF the warden of the prison TO delay
the execution until just after mid
night on the 9th.
