The Supreme Court Peebles Against Him. After exhausting every source prondsi <1 hope Alex Carr,the murderer of Captain King, must die ou the gal lows. The Supreme court before which the vise was pending tor a second time oil Monday of tins week handed down a deeisioti refusing to intcfeie with the sentence ot death passed by the lower court. Ou August 24, 1894, Carr shot and killed Captain II. O King,a well-known citizen on Alabama sueet. The cause of lit.; killing was a debt owed Carr by King lor work in a miu ing camp of the Janet. The murder, n its external appearances, much re sembled a cold blooded assassination, and on trial Can was convicted and sentenced to hang. A motion was made to the supreme court fot a new trial but was overruled. A plea of imuuiiv based upon a pe¬ culiar condition pity sionlly and mentally into which the nutrdejer all at once collapsed was entered before Ordinary Calhoun and a trial was ordered. The trial resulted in a mistrial verdict, the jury standing live to seven. Another trial was ordered by Judge Calhoun, which resulted iu a verdict to the effect that the prisoner was sane. Another motion was Hied asking the interference of the Supreme court, but this motion was also overruled on Mon¬ day, leaving (lie conviction and sent¬ ence of the Superior court in full force and v fleet. Carr will probably be re sentenced by Judge C’Litk and the day of his execution named in a few days. Carr’s physical condition and mental responsibility has been a subject of much interest and discussion, Since a lew days after his incarceration lor the murder of Captain King lie has lain in his eell, seemingly unconscious of n'l Bin e’.ti J-fi. Hi Las eaten and talked none Public opinion Been very much divided ou the subject of Ins sanity. Some think that lie is only feigning insanity to save his life, while a great many others believe that he is all that tie appeals to be, a victim of the worst type of insanity. Carr’s conduct while undergoing cxutiiin tiion ni Uu-. insanity trial was what might !» described piteously dramatic, He was rolled and thumped rather vigor ous ly by a jury ot his honest peers,who -believed that the character of the case demanded and justified any reasonable means fur arriving at bi« tme cotidi i ton.
