was organized four years ago the
salary was fixed by the grand jury
at $1,000. The judge’s commission

ONE MORE CHANCE FOR HER LIFE.
Writ of Error Granted by the United
States Supreme Court Prolongs t
Her Life.
Mrs. Elizabeth Nobles will not
hang Friday, April 23.
Judge Harlan granted a writ of
error Friday. The allowance of
the writ will operate as a stay of
proceedings and will insure post
ponement of the execution.
The petition for the writ of erj-
ror was filed in the United Stated
supreme court on April 10, by
Mr. Marion Harris, of Macon, and
Messrs Glenn & Rountree, of At
lanta, counsel for Mrs. Nobles.
There were three grounds up
on which the writ of error was
asked, as follows:
1. That section 4666 of the
code of 1882 does not establish a
judicial tribunal for the ascertain
ment of insanity and does not af
ford «* due process of law ” for
that purpose.
2. That it is the right, privilege
and immunity of Elizabeth No
bles at any stage of a criminal
proceeding, and particularly either
before or after judgement, to have
a trial in the superior court, which
has jurisdiction of her and her
case bn the question of insanity.
And a denial of such trial is a
denial of “ due process of law,”
and against the inhibition of the
fourteenth amendment to the Uni
ted States constitution.
- 3. A denial of such trial is an
gia of a right, privilege and
munity of Elizabeth Nobles as a
citizen of the United States, con
trary to the inhibition of the four
teenth amendment to the United
States constitution.
The writ of error is returnable
in the United States supreme
court within thirty days from
date. Mrs. Nobles’ execution is
therefore delayed for thirty days
at least, and may be for a longer
time than that.
In the event the writ of em>r is
sustained Mrs. Nobles will be
tried on a writ of lunacy; if the
writ of error is not sustained she
will have to be resentenced, and
the minimum time under the law
in which she can be executed is
twenty days, so that her execution
cannot be had within less. than
fifty days. —. .. ; ;
Friday a bill of exceptions was
tendered Judge Smith by Mrs. No
bles’ attorneys, and in all proba
bility he wouid have refused to
sigo it. The petition for a - writ
of mandamus would have been
heard by the state supreme court.
These proceedings are now at an
end, since the writ of error has;
been granted by the United
States supreme court.
“A woman whose husband is
in the habit of coming home tipsy
at night decided to scare him as a
cure. Accordingly she arrayed
herself in a frightful apparel, and
when the boozy husband entered
the door, said in supulchyal tones,
‘ Come with me ; I am the devil.’
‘ Zat so,’ said the husband; '‘ shake,
I’m your brother-in-law. M—no-

was reappointed by the governor
before the February term of the
superior court. The grand jury
simply recommended a reduction
of the salary, whereas the grand
jury, when the court was organized,
fixed the salary. Judge William
son,’the present incumbent, has
brought suit against the county
commissioners for $100 salary due
for March. The commissioners
will resist its collection, and to
that end have employed Hon. Du
