TRENTON, N. j., NOV. 5.-IhlS
is the story Of Archibald Herrcn,
who for % years has lived happily
in the valley Of the shadow Of
death. All that time, in the State
Prison here, he has awaited &C.
trocution for a murder committed
when he was 40. Now, at II, he
knows that he has cheated the
chair, and is proud Of his I'M
precedented victory.
Since Heron went 10 the blea';

the trial judge delay his execution
until further orders"
Then the Judge died.
So Archie lives, and smokes, and
thinks about the one great tri-
umph Of hi drab career. He has
been forgotten by society, and by
the state. Even in the prison here
a voluntary hermit in his tim cell
he is almost a mythical figure.
No Ruling Sought
Archie is grateful for this OBJ
security. II remains his assurance
OF safety. II anyone sought a SUI
preme court ruling on his status
IL might reveal that the door TO
the death house and its electrode
chair still stands open for him.
Heron Is a murderer. There
never was any question Of his
guilt. IN July. 1903. he had been
hailed before the Rev. Samuel B.
d. Prickett. retired minister and
acting justice Of the peace in Me-
tlche1, near New Brunswick. The
charge was disorderlv conduct
and Heron was Jailed. nmedi-
atcly after his release. he went TO
DR.. Prickett's home and shot him
dead.
On Iulv "a. 1903. Justice James

during the week OF September 7.
Fire days later a writ Of error

Justice Beroen then named the

At this time there arose a uues-
