Fripavy—In the Senate to-day Mr. Hoar,
from the Judiciary Committes, reported a
bill to amend section 6 of the revised sta-
tutes, which aathorizes appeals to the Cir-
cuit Court of the United States from State
scourts in cases where the person convicted
1 claimed to have acted under the authority
of any statute of the Unifed States under
the authority of any foreign power. The
amendment’is to add, to the section the
words: ‘Provided that said appeal shall not
stay execution in capital cases, unless ac-
companied by an order from the Judge from
whose decision such appeal is taken, re-
straining the Sheriff or other officers from
executing sentence of the trial Judge.” An
explanation of the matter was made by Mr.
Hoar, who gave as an illustration of the
need of the proposed legislation the ease of
a wife murderer in New Jersey who had
pleats ghilty and bean sentenced to death,
ut for whom an appeal had been taken on
the ground that the Uonstitution of the Uni-
ted States provided a jury trial in all capital
‘cases. The bill was passed, with an addi-
tional amendment: ‘Or unless such order
be obtained from some Justice of the
Supreme Court of the United States.”
The army appropriation bill was reported
and placed on = the'calendar, Mr. Stewart
fying notice that he would call it up on
