 Little Rock, June 1O.-The six Elaine negroes were not electrocuted today. Their case has become an in volved judicial controversy. The lat est developments were the filing in the supreme court yesterday afternoon Iof a petition by the attorney general for writ of prohibition against chan lcery court and other courts from inter- fering with the judgment of the Phil petition came up for hearing before Chief Justice McCulloch, he called in- to consultation other members of the supreme court and it was decided to defer the hearing until next Monday.
 The petition recites that the six condemned men were indicted October l29, 1919; convicted November 3, 1919, of murder in the first degree and sen- fenced to death; the judgment was affirmed by the supreme court March 29, 1920; on April 29, 1921, Governor McRae set the date of execution for June 10; on June 8 counsel for the condemned filed petition for writ of habeus corpus which was issued returnable at p. m. today, the chan cellor at the same time issuing a re- straining order against the warden of the penitentiary, to prevent his carry ing out the orders of the Phillips cir. cult court
 In the petition for wit of prohi- bition, the state alleges that "the jchancery court has no authority over the enforcement of the criminal laws of the state, and by taking cognizance thereof, has exceeded the jurisdiction vested in said court by the constitution and laws of the state of Arkansas"
 When asked ii he had any state ment to make, Governor McRae said that there is nothing for him to say or do, since he has issued his order for the execution and it is now up to the judicial department as to what steps shall be taken towards carry ing out his order
 ! While the state is contending that Chancellor Martineau has exceeded his authority, there has been no disposi- ton to advise the warden to ignore the courts order, as that might cause serious complications and embarrass- ment The effect of the proceedings Ihas been at least to cause a delay of few days in the electrocution.
