LEGAL DERtL|CT"
FOR EIGHT YEARS
THROUGH UNPARALLELED TAN
GLE NO COURT SEEMS TO
HAVE JURISDICTION IN CASE.

Oklahoma City, April 23.-kid
Kelly. negro, sentenced to death for
the murder of another OF his race,
and for long time termed the legal
derelict" has written the criminal
court of appeals from the McAlester
penitentiary to please hasten with a
decision in his case. Kelly's case has
been on the docket but short time.
For eight years he has been in jails
and the penitentiary, and from the
tone of his letter is weary of waiting
for execution of the final decree.
Kellys case is believed to be with
out parallel in legal annals He was
convicted of murder in the first de-
gree in January, 1904. and sentenced
to die. An appeal to the court OF ap-
peals for the Indian Territory was
sustained. From there an appeal was
taken to the United States court for
the Eighth circuit. Jurisdiction of
the case was declined by the St.
Louis court, since the appeal should
have been to the supreme court of
the United States. This decision
was rendered the day before Oklaho-
ma became a state, and the only pro
cess lacking being an order to carry
out the courts judgment, or permit
inn 20 hA
of the United States, the case was
returned to the supreme court of the
state. Before the supreme court could
reach the case on its docket the Grim
inal court of appeals was created and
Kelly's case in common with all
Others of criminal character was
transferred to the latter tribunal.
Judge Doyle of the criminal court
of appeals wrote an opinion in 1909
| holding that the Oklahoma court I'M
der the circumstances did not assume
jurisdiction of a capital case where
final deision had been rendered by
| the court of appeals for the Indian
Territory and where no petition for
rehearing had been filed or was pend
ing, or where writ of error had been
granted for an appeal beyond it's jul
! risdiction. The case was stricken
from the docket, thus leaving Kelly
high in the air, so to speak. with no
court having jurisdiction at that time
TO order him hanged. On motion OF
the attorney general the case was re-
instated on the Oklahoma docket and
