nine years for manslaughter in
connection with the killing OF J.

T. Mauldin recently ordered re-
leased from the penitentiary. stay
ing the judgment of the supreme
court, which recently refused
Mittle new trial, is still in the
state prison and no move has been
made in his case. If any further
is to be made il will have to origi-
nate from Mittle. and habeas
corpus proceedings would be the
move most likely. However, no
move is expected, as Governor
Harvey has been furnished with an
order of the supreme court, which
says that no stay Of any criminal
sentence which has been affirmed
by the supreme court shall be is
sued except by the supreme court
or one of its justices.
Mfttfe was released on order of
Judge Mauldin, who issued q
ninety day stay of the sentence af-
firned by the supreme court. Gov
ernor Harvey then took the case in
hand and ordered Mittie back to
the penitentiary. There he is to-
day. pending his appeal to the
United States supreme court, to
which tribunal he has announced
his intention of taking the case.
+ Governor Harvey has recently
investigated complaints made
against Hamp James, Dillon
county negro, who was paroled by
Governor Blease in 1911, and who
was recently arrested and sent to
the gang for. beating members OF
his family. The governor finds
that James was pardoned by Gov
ernor Blease in 1915, and he
therefore can take no action in
regard to the parole, the terms OF
which were violated. but not un-
til after the negro had been grant
ed a full pardon.
The state supreme court will
meet in en- banc session next Fri
day to hear important motions.
I.among them probably the Edmund
Bigham case. Solicitor Gasaue is
expected to appear and move for
dismissal of Bigham's appeal on
the ground of after-discovered evi-
denee Bigham was sentenced to
die in the electric chair chair for
the murder of his brother, and he
