PROCEDURE DEVIOUS; INSANITY DODGE IS
 NOT ONLY EVASION
lf Sims Is Jailed for Contempt, 1t Will Leave No One to Boss Execution
 of Villalobos, December 10

From the annals of the state peni- tentiary of Arizona, may some day be compiled a treatise on How to Avoid Hanging Murderers.
 When every apparent resource had hen exhausted, and it appeared that William Faltin would have to pay what he owes the law for killing Carl Peterson, the prison authorities sprung Ihe insanity dodge" That seemed for a time the final move, but now, it is known that other means may be taken to wiggle out. It was said yes terday that Governor Hunt holds the resignation of Warden Sims, and that in the event every other subterfuge fails the chief executive may accept said resignation, and thereby leave the prison without q head. This would inevita bly halt the execution, as only the warden may direct the process If is a notable fact that the state con stitution provides no assistant. deputy or vice warden who may handle an execution.
 The legal processes through which the case of Faltin must now pass, are about as follows:
 On the date set for converting the Pinal county jury, the murderer will be brought before twelve men, who will examine his mental processes. If they agree he Is insane, he will be consigned to tho insane asylum. If they hold him sane. he must be brought to Phoenix and resentenced by a judge of the Maricopa county Su- perior Court. On the date set at that resentencing. the insanity dodge may be worked again, and so on. ad in

WAR SUMMARY

The strp of territory held by the Serbians along the western edge of their national domain has grown mo- tably thin under the steady pressure of the Teutonic allies. Along the northern end of the line the Austrians have cleared the region of King Pe ter's troops for some distance to the southwest of Mitrovitza, while the Germans have advanced across the Sitnica river and occupied the heights on the left bank across the Kossove plain from Pristina.
 To the south the .Bulgarians are still further west. They are repre- scented by Berlin as having crossed a line running through Stimlia and Ljubeten, the latter place being about 70 miles east of Prisrend. which lies close to the frontier. Stimlia lying di- rectly north of Ljubeten. The Bull garian drive seems to threaten the complete shutting off of a Serbian re- tereat in a southerly direction, except through Albanian territory.
 In south Serbia there are signs of renewed activity on the part of the forces opposing the Bulgarians. Ac- cording to an unofficial report the Serbians have recaptured KrusheVo, 20 miles west of Prilep and some 25 miles west of Monastir. The allies of Ser bia may be able to give her substantial help in this area soon, as il is report ed that 125,000 troops have already de- harked at Saloniki and that allied forces are continuing to be landed there in large numbers.
 Athens reports that new collective note has been sent to Greece by the ministers of the entente allies, outlin- ing measures which it is desired Greece shall take in conformity with the preliminary agreement A consul tation between King Constantine and Premier Skouloudis and a cabinet meeting followed the presentation.
 On the Gallipoli peninsula, the Turks have been on the offensive on land and the allied forces on the water Constatinople claims that by surprise attack a considerable section of allied trenches near Ari Burnu were won An attack by battleships and monitors near Anafarta was ineffective it is declared. one monitor being forced to retire.
 Neither Paris nor Berlin reports happenings of consequence on the western front. Berlin also ii silent as to operations in Russia inactivity apparently ruling there

 CLIFTON. Ariz, Nov. 2i.-W ]. Donahje. manager of the Detroit cop per company supply department and also purchasing agent for the com pauv at Norenci. was the target for an unknown party Saturday night at his home ir NorenCi. Air DonahUe. who had been spending some time at the refugee camp in Duncan. arrived in Moreaci Thursday evening on a short business trip and nn Saturday union officials received 90 tip from two Nexicans to the effect that he had TO- turned for the purpose of receiving men from the ranks uf the strikers to join the colony at Duncan. The MexicanS reported that h. had asked both of them 10 desert their colors and join the refugees at Duncan. and on the strength of this report the union men put a strict watch on ponah hue's movements with the result that Saturday night one os the leaders stepped him and asked him his busi- ness.
 During the quizZing a crowd had collected and about this time an auto mobile came across the plaza at full speed and Dunahue jumped on the running board and made record trip t1 his home to escape from the crowd. However. he did not escape unscathed. for as he mad his dash for liberty he was followed by a fusillade of eggs. and the machine and pass enrers were we'll spattered before they could get out of range.
 As Donahue was preparing to re- tire about lI.gO that evening he switched on the light for moment and was immediately greeted by a shot which went through the window and only missed him by the fraction of an inch. He grabbed his gun which lay nearby and fired at his assailant as he ran by the window but his bullet also went wild

ing his failure 10 comply with the
 mandate of the court, issued on Sep
 tember p, 1915, directing him. as warden of the state prison, to cause the execution of William Faltin, guilty
 of murder
 Attorney Jones arrived here from
 Florence on E,riday4 might, following
 the postponement of the execution,
 and was considerably incensed at
 what he termed the fragrant disre-
 gard of the courts order by Warden
 Sims. He gave rotice that he would
 start contempt proceedings as soon as
 the members of the supreme court could be assembled the following day.
 Early yesterday morning Attorney
 Jones. and George Harben. his assist
 ant, appeared before Judges Ross.
 Cunningham and Franklin, and laid
 the case before them. When the hearing was concluded Judge Cum ningham refused to sign the order, stating for his reason that the matter
 was not under the Jurisdiction of the supreme court, but should be present. cd to the superior court of Maricopa county. that having been the court in which Faltin was convicted. How ever, Judges Franklin and Ross at tached their signatures to the order, and the document was promptly for
 warded to Sheriff II. D. Hall of Pinal county, in which is situated the F1orerce prison. and it will be served
 on Sims probably on Monday.
 Sims. it will be remembered, re- fused to execute Faltin on Friday, alleging that the man was of unsound mind, and taking refuge in the statute which gives the superintendent of the prison the power to use his own discretion in the matter of the eX- ecution, when he believes that the condemned man shows signs of in- sanity. However, MT. Jones thinks l that as there was no question to Faiths mental condition raised at
 the time he was on trial on the mur- 1 der charge, this eleventh hour plea ] of insanity was but a subterfuge on the part of the superin -endent :o de- l feat the ends of justice by refusing 1 to carry out the death sentence whici: l had been pronounced Upon the man 1 The attorney general feels confident l that he can cause MT Sims to be 1 held in contempt of the court. and on l the other hand, Sims is equally as confident that he was acting within l the law when he refused to inflict the death penalty on Faltin on Friday,
