ARTHUR HODGES
MUST DIE TODAY

Arthur Hodges, the Clark county
man sentenced to die IN the electric
chair today, lost his last effort TO
escape paying the death penalty
Monday morning when the Supreme
Court refused to grant reheariug in
the writ Of prohibition case. The
writ of pphibition was issu'd by
the Supreme Court TO prevent the
Pulaski Chancery Court from inter-
fering with the governors proclama-
tion.
Hodges is sentenced to die Friday.
Several proclamations setting dates
for his execution have been issued
by Governor Hays, but each time
grounds were brought blocking the
execution. 1t is probable the exc
cution set for Friday will be carried
out.
1t is said the only path now open
for Hodges is for the sheriff or
Judge of Clark county to demand a
sanity inquest for the condemned
man. The Supreme Court IN rul.
ing the Pulaski officials bad no right
to interfere, held that either the
sheriff or circuit court judge OF
Ozark county could, If they believe
the man insane, demand an inyesti.
CATION. Such action IS considered
improbable.
Hodges shot and killed Morgan
Garner, a deputy constable, at
Amity, Clark county.
