BRIEF FILED IN CASES
 0E FOUR DOOMED MEX

A brief was filed in supreme court yesterday by Struckmeyer and Jenckes in the cases Of Francisco Rodriguez, Miguel Peralta, Eduardo Perez and N. D. Chavez under sentence of death at Florence
 These cases arc on appeal from an order by Judge McAllister last summer refusing to release the men on a writ of habeas corpus which he had granted, he having been called in in the absence from the state of Judge Baughn. The chief points in the brief are that the imprisonment of the men is in violation of the fourteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States and of Article II of the state constitution; that the death warrants were void in that the words, "state of Arizona" as pre- scribed by the constitution had been omitted. It is further, contended that the men had already been placed in ieODardV

"The Magic Skin" Last Time at Lion
 The Magic Skin" is a beautiful five part Edison drama founded on the famous story by Honore de BaIzac and shown at the Lion Theater for the last time today. The Magic Skin" is a mystic tale very much out of the beaten path of film dramas. There is much French atmosphere in the magnificent settings and much of the spirit of Bal zac in the remarkable story.
 For the role of the artist, Ralph Val entine, that well known tragedian, Ev- erett Butterfield. was obtained. He is supported by Mabel Trunnelle and a selected cast of Edison players.
 Manager Leecraft recommends this picture as one of the best that has been in Phoenix in some time and worthy of a most critical audience
