CONFLICT SEEN IN
 SNYDER LEGAL ROW

were prepared to stand their ground. Az Justice Levy was presiding in the supreme court shortly after noon . note was sent him notifying him that Attorney General Ottinger had stated the stay was illegal and that Beyer would appear before him to ask that 1t be vacated.
 Justice Levy sent back the mes- sage: T don't care what ottinger holds"
 Ready at Prison. While the legal battle waged In New York and Albany all remained in readiness for the executions at Sing Sing prison. When Executioner Robert Elliott heard of the court stay he telephoned the prison for in- structions and WAS told to hold him- self in readiness.
 New York, Jan. IF R-Henry Judd Gray today presumably began his last day of life. while Mrs. Ruth Snyder, his coslayer. as a result of a last minute stay of execution probably will live at least to see the dawn of another day.
 Mrs. Snyder Gets Stay
 Supreme Court Justice Aaron J. Levy granted . stay of execution to Mrs. Snyder until 10 o'clock tomor- row morning. in order that her coun- sel might present further arguments to support their contention that their client Is | necessary witness in the litigation over $95,000 life insurance on her husband, whom she was con- victed of killing. Mrs. Snyder's 10 year old daughter. Lorraine, would be the beneficiary of the insurance.
 The stay did not affect the status of Gray. Mrs. snyder's paramour who is scheduled to be executed to- night for his part in the murder. Gray's attorney. however. said that he had prepared an application to the federal court for | writ of habeas corpus, on the grounds that Gray's constitutional rights were in- vaded when he was tried jointly with Mrs. Snyder. A similar application was signed by Mrs. Snyder.
 The court order directing the stay Of Mrs. snyder's execution was served on Warden Lewis F. Lawea early today.
 Gray's Death Uncertain
 Warden Lawes. in accepting serv- ice of tho order. said: T am simply !, an agent of the state and its laws. I desire to do the right thing which will not prejudice the rights of the condemned and I will act after con- sultation with the proper authorities. "The order does not affect Gray. ' said the warden. "but the time of his execution will be given considera- tion."
 This statement was taken to indi- cate the possibility that the warden might postpone Gray's execution. The law provides that Gray and Mrs. Snyder should be executed during the week of January and gives the warden the power to select the exe- cution night. The warden thus could delay execution of Gray until Saturday night.
 There was some question whether

STATE MAY TRY
YOUNG SLAYER
SEVERAL TIMES
Hickman's Pleas of Not
Guilty Presage Long
Court Procedure.
BY DAN CAMPBELL
United Press Staff Correspondent

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 6.-William
Edward Hickman had Unexpectedly
placed another burden upon the
state today.
Unless the jury which will try him
for the murder of Marion Parker
finds that he was sane at the time
the crime was committed, two more
trials probably will be held in an
effort to send him to the gallows.
Facing arraignment for murder
for the second time in three days,
young Hickman entered pleas of not
guilty to the Staying of C. Ivy
Toms and qualified the plea with
another of not guilty by reason Oh
insanity.
Welby Hunt, who came into court
to plead with Hickman was not per
mitted to answer in superior court
to the Indictment but his case was
transferred to juvenile court ana
later referred back to Superior
Judge Carlos Hardy by the juve-
nile judge.
Judge Hardy gave young Hunt
until next Tuesday to plead and the
youth IS attorney, A. Gray Gilmer OF
Oklahoma City, intimated that
Hunt, who is Is wears old would
plead guilty and throw himself on
the mercy of the court.
Attorneys Going East
If Hickman is found to have beer
sane at the time he kidnapped ard
murdered the Parker child he viii
he sentenced to die and there will
be no necessity to try him for the
Toms Staying. However If it is
found that he was insane, the state
will demand that he be tried q
second time on the Toms murder i'll
dictment.
The state must then try him first
on the plea of not guilty to estab-
lish Hickman as the actual SLAYER
and in the event he is found guilty
n second trial must then be held on
the insanity plea. If the state fails
to prove Linn guilty of the Staying,
second trial will be unnecessary.
Meanwhile Deputy District Attor.
ney Costello is preparing to leave
here late today with Attorney Je-
rome Walsh, who will attempt to
secure evidence of Hickman-'s in
sanity in towns whore the Hickman
family formerly resided in Arkan
sas, Missouri and Oklahoma.
Costello will question all witness
cs from whom Walsh takes affi
davits.
