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.
