Supreme Court Rules Against Him, But Another
 Rule Works in Favor.

Little Rock, Nov. 20.-Arthur Hodges, the condemned Clark county murderer, will not be electrocuted to- morrow. By the action of the state supreme court he gets another re- spite of seventeen days at least.

However, there is rule of the supreme court that no order in any proceeding is effective for fif- teen Judicial days after it is made, and therefore under order of the su- preme court Hodges cannot be legally executed before Tuesday.

Georgia Supreme Court Re- fuses Writ of Error to U.
 $. Supreme Court.

Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 20.-After hav- ing refused to set aside the verdict o fguilty in the case of Leo Frank, charged with the murder of Mary Phagan, a 14-year-old factory girl, on grounds that Franks constitutional rights were violated because he was not present in the courtroom when the verdict was delivered, the Georgia supreme court today also refused to certify a writ of error on that point to the supreme court of the United States. The court held that no ques- tion of federal constitutional rights is presented in the case, and, hence, there is no ground for sending the case to the United States supreme court. <r
 Franks only resort now is for his attorney to attempt to get x a writ certified to the United States su- preme court by some justice of the court itself. Application will be made to Justice Lamar of the United States supreme court to certify the writ and, if he refuses, the case will not get to that tribunal and Frank will hang.

lecture on the different branches of
the occult science, he introduced his
daughter, Lucille, age 9 years, and his
sen, Harry, age Il, the youngest peo-
pie in the United States giving mind
reading stunts in public. Their tests
were perfect and answers correct.
They were the most mystifying scene
ever seen In this part of the country,
and the large audience showed their
appreciation by their good behavior
and much applause. Professor Holtz-
claw called for volunteers from the
audience and several boys went on
the stage and were hypnotized. Then
for one hour he convulsed the audi
ence with laughter as he carried the
boys from one to another. His
show was a grand success.
We feel sure that the Professor
knows his business when it comes to
hypnotizing the boys on the stage.
