HODGES IS GIVEN
 ANOTHER RESPITE
December 18 Set as Date for Electrocution of Youth,
 Said to Be Insane.

Little Rock, NOV. Ex-Governor Hays this afternoon granted Arthur Hodges another respite, setting De- cember IS as the date for the execu- tion. Hodges was to haven been elec- trocuted today.
 The delay, it is pointed out, will give ample time for the suprem } court to hear and determine mo- tioll for a rehearing of the writ of prohibition against the chancery court to prevent it's interference with the execution of the condemned youth. The supreme court yesterday ruled that the chancery court, as we'll as the probate court, had no jurisdic- tion in Hodges case.
 Judge J. c. Hart, member Of the supreme court, said today that the Pulaski county courts could take no further action. The circiut court judge or the sheriff of Clary county, however, could, if they believed Hoi- ges to be insane, demand an inqusi- tion.
