TEST CoNsTITUTIOMALlTY
OF ELECTROCUTlON LAW
Attorneys for Condemned Negro aIur-
derer In South Carolina Garry Case
to United States Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON. November 10.-Con-
tending that an Increase In the num-
Der OF spectators at legal execution
OF n criminal in South Carolina Is an
added punishment, attorneys for Joe
Mailoy, convicted OF murder In that
State, to-day filed with the Supreme
Court . brief calling upon the court
to hold the South Carolina electrocu-
tion law unconstitutional as to Malloy.
Malloy was charged with having
murdered Prentiss Moore,in Marlboro
County. S. c.. on Thanksgiving Day,
1910. AT that tinfe the death sentence
for murder was inflicted by hanging.
Before his trial. the State passed Il
law changing the manner OF execu-
ton from hanging 10 electrocution.
Malloy's attorneys contend that tho
cannot be hanged now because that
method OF punishment wns abolished,
and that he cannot be olectrocuted be-
cause that would be imposing an addi-
tional punishment on him. and. there
fore. would make the law "eE post
facto" within tho meaning of the Con-
stitution.
The electrocution law authorized the
attendance OF from two to fourteen
more persons than under the preceding
law. One who Is going TO his death
In disgrace and contumely naturally

clare the attorneys. and shall this
