dence that any one Of these gave
the fatal stroke, Or that it was
given by some one of them. though
it does not appear by which"
+ ..The defendants, held Justice
Fraser, were charged with muir.
der. The charge as to conspiracy
simply stated the law as to the
liability Of one for the acts Of the
others, if the act was done by mu-
taal agreement or conspiracy.
''The judgment concludes both
opinions, SIS affirmed and the ap-
peal dismissed, and the case is re-
manded to the court Of general ses-
sions for Richland county for the
purpose Of fixing new date for
carrying into effect the sentence Of
the court"
In the opinion dismissing the
appeal OF. Harrison Justice Fraser
uses the same reasoning assign
ment of error for refusing sever
ance and charging conspiracy as in
the Jeffords opinion. and in refas-
ing to sustain the plea Of error in
Judge Townsend's charge on ex-
press or implied malice, the fol-
lowing language is used:
His Honor charged the jury as
to expressed and implied malice
as follows:
Malice is said TO be expressed
when there is manifested delib-
crate intention unlawfuliy to take
away the life Of fellow creature
a human being.
1T is implied when no consid-
cradle legal provocation appears. or
when the circumstances alleging the
killing show an abandoned heart
and a malignant heart.
The error ssigned is to implied
malice. The statement is not the
usual form, bat entirely harmless
here. When a man is beaten to
death with pieces Of wood and a
bar of iron, in his own place Of
business, by his partner and en-
ployes. to whom he has been un-
faihngly kind. it was expressed
malice. There was not a scintilla
of testimony from which implied
malice could have been found. The
assignment of error cannot be sus-
tained.''

ed to death, need never to be exc
cuted," has almost become legal
maxim in South Carolina. How
ever. the new doctrine laid down
by the court will prevent this.
The doctrine of appeals under
which the courts have been labor
ing, as laid down in the State VS..
Lee, and interpreted in subsequent
cases, has led to a condition" in
the language OF the opinion.
where convicted criminals may by
successive motions and appeals
block the process Of the law in
definitely, and by their motions and
appeals prevent their executions"
This condition has been con-
fronting the law enforcement de-
partment Of the government for
some time, so much SO that in sew
eral notorious cases substantial JUS
tice has been thwarted. When
Judge Mauldin granted new trial
to Cliff Hawkins on the ground of
after-discovered evidence as to his
mental condition. the state. through
the office OF Sam M. Wolfe, At
torney General. appealed for the
main purpose of having the case Of
State vs. Lee reviewed in an ef-
fort to have the supreme court
ascertain if a new doctrine on ap-
peals could not be evolved.
The supreme court realized the
gravity of the situation in time
when crime is rampant. for, in the
opinion. it uses these words: Per
hapS this tribunal was never call
ed upon to meet a greater respon-
sibility than that which now con-
fronts it; nor was it ever more
loudly called upon to use it's ju-
dicial powers in a proper way to
avert a deplorable condition, a
condition that is not calculated
to enhance respect for law, and its
enforcement. and which as a mat
ter of fact would have contrary
effect. 1t was never intended by
the trainers and makers Of our
constitution and laws that the con-
dition referred to should exist and
there must be some legal way g
avert it. We have the opportun
ity and it remains to be seen
whether or not we have the dis
position and the ability to point out
that way"
Recently the state supreme court
adopted what is known as "Ruie
| 80" in which it was decreed that
| frivolous appeals would not be
looked on with leniency by the
court, but the doctrine laid down
this afternoon will put stop to
delayed justice and speed up the
execution Of the sentences Of the
! courts.

Ncw Doctrine.

Columbia, Nov. 3.-A new doc
trine of appeals on after discovered
evidence in criminal cases was
.enunciated by the state supreme
court today in affirming an order
of Circuit Judge Mauldin granting
a new trial to Cliff Hawkips, con-
victed at Greenville Of murder and
sentenced to. be electrocuted.
The opinion was written by
Judge Frank 3. Gary, of the
Eighth judicial Circuit and was
concurred in by four justices Of
the supreme court and the circuit
judges sitting Ell banc on Septem-
Der !, at which sitting the Haw-
kins case was reviewed. Asso-
ciates Justice r. C. Watts dissent
ing.
The opinion holds that motions
for new trials on after discovered
evidence should be made. to circuit
courts or judges when they have
not been deprived Of jurisdiction
by appeals to the supreme court
through the handing down Of a
remittitur by that tribunal; but
if the case is pending in the ap-
.pellate court, a motion should be
made to it to suspend the appeal
so that the motion for new trial
can be heard before the lower
court. The opinion likewise holds
that, if the supreme court has al
ready passed on the appeal, and
its judgment has been remanded
to the lower court, then an appeal
on after discovered evidence must
be heard before the supreme court
and if the cause is meritorious
that tribunal will take proper steps
to have the motion heard by the
circuit court.
Should the date for an electro
cution already have been set, the
opinion holds, then an appeal to the
supreme court should be made in
sufficient time on the grounds OF
after discovered evidence; but, if
the time is limited, the governor
can be requested to extend the
date of the sentence. upon proper
; showing. and the appellate court
will hear the motion anyway, and,
should the appeal be refused, there
will be no necessity Of returning
TO the lower court to set a new
date for electrocution.
The rule heretofore has been
that. should the motion for new
trial be refused by the circni:
/ judge, then an appeal would be
taken to the state supreme court
which must hear it. Should the cir
cult court be affirmed in its judg-
ment and the appellant be sent
! back for re-sentence, he could
then make another motion for a
new trial, and again appeal from
the refusal Of the circuit judge,
and continue this almost inter
| minably, so much SO that the die

TURKS
DISCARD
SULTAN
A n 6 O T a Assembly
Unanimously De-
cides That It is Su-
prenae Power and
: Sultanate is Abol-
ished

Constantinople, Nov. (By the
Associated Press AN end to the
sultanate in Turkey has been unani-
mously. deereed by the grand nat
ional assembly sitting at Angora.
The executive and legislative pow
ers of the country have been
conferred with the assembly upon
the nation and the palace of the
sublime porte, which through cor
rupt ignorance for several centuries
provoked numerous Als for the
country, has passed into the do
main of history.
A caliph is to be chosen by the
assembly from a member of the
osman dynasty to succeed the sui
tan, but the resolution of the as
sembly announced that the Turk
ish government would remain the
keystone Of the caliphate. The
choice OF the ealiph is to be that
member of the imperial family who
is the best, instructed, the best ed
ucated, the most honest and the
wisest.
The assembly also decided that
all treaties entered into by the
Constantincple government since
March 6, 1920, were null and void.
The decision Of the, assembly was
followed by the proclamation OF a
national holiday and the firing of
a salute.
Notwithstanding the assembly's s
decree that the era Of liberation
had at last been entered into the
sultan presided this afternoon at a
meeting of his ministers. The
grand vizier, Tewfik Pasha, and
his colleagues kissed the sultan's
hand on the occasion of the pro-
phet's birthday. renewed their
pledge of loyalty and expressed
the utmost Indignation Of. what
was termed the rash action Of the
Angora government in proclaim
ing an end to the sultanate. While
nothing definite can be ascertained
regarding the decision reached at
the council today, it was reported
in high quarters there was good
reason TO believe the sultan had
disputed the legal character of the
national assembly's decision. =.
Some of the Turkish afternoon
newspapers today announced that
al;dication of the sultan is only a
question of hours, but the ministers
of the sublime porte took no
such a view Of the situation. The
|sultan's resignation, according to
tradition, would be handed to the
members of the, imperial family,
and no crown council was called
today at Yildiz palace.
Monarchist and Turkish mod
crate circles anticipate internal
dissension in consequence of the
action Of the assembly. They ex-
press the view that the step OF the
Angora government is triumph
for the Bolshevik policy.
Grnd Eizier Tewfik Pasha has
telegraphed Mustapha Kemal
Pasha, the Nationalist leader. that
any measure contemplated by the
assembly affecting the sultan's
status will weaken Turkeys po-
sition abroad. Tewfik added that
the allies would benefit at the eX-
pense of Turkey at the forthcom-
ing conference in case Of division
between. the national assembly and
the palace and erdeavor to pose
as protectors Of the ealiphate. In

governments attention to the pos
