= The North Carolina sdpreme court
has ijust made it's first ruling in the
case rof the efforts Of o. G. (Red>
Thomas, to stave off as far as possible
the time when he will have to begin
his eighteen-year sentence for the mur-
der, of. Arthur J. Allen, at Concord, N.
c., some time back. Following the i'm
position & Re ,sentsnHe, TAon%s Sp-
peaseA to thessubrerfse courts5n varfous
grounds; but before going to the court
on the merits Of the case, he demurred
to the.4ssues as certified by Judge j.
Bis Ray. the trial judge. Under North
Carolina procedure the trial judge
makes up a case as it is to be submit
ted to the supreme court Without
even requesting the judge to revise his
statement TO conform to alleged objec-
tions, Thomas asked the supreme court
to maks5the judge enter into a re-
statement III the case. The supreme
court, in due time reached the matter,
and of course declined. 1t took occa-
sionttQ say that to entertain questions
of this kind could only make for delay;
but of course did not say in so many
words that delay was the only object
of this particular appeal. This ques-
ton disposed. of, however, the next
matter is argument of the case on its
merits. This argument would have
been reached by this time probably eX-
cept for frittering away of time by this
unnecessary appeal; but as the matter
now stands, the final ruling Of the
court is just that much further off.
There. have been no more arrests
in the Hall Mills murder case at New
Brunswick, New Jersey; but an alleged
eyeSwitness has been unearthed. This
eyewitness is Mrs. James Gibson, an
eldeTly wo4an who, with a twenty
year, old son, worked the 60-acre farm
adjoining the Phillips farm on which
the dead bodies were found. Mrs. Glib
song story is lhat for some time past
somebody had been stealing her green
corn from the field and she had been
tryieg to catch them. On the night in
question she had been aroused out Of
her house by her dog scratching at the
doo& Looking over the situation, she
decfded that the dog had scented tres
passers, and unable to see anybody,
she mounted her mule and commenced
looking about, going in the direction
Of the Phillips farm. Entering the
lanesthat has already figured extern
sively in the story and proceeding
some distance, she. saw outlined before
her the forms of two men and two
women. She could, not be seen at the
point where she sat on her mule be-
