The supreme court of Tuesday dismissed the appeal of Jesse Gappins, one of the lirazeil murder trio, following the motion in the morning by Solicitor Callisdn in open court for a dismissal. The court dismissed the appeal for lark of merit, and in the course of the hearing Chief Justice Gary heavily scored lawyers for what he termed as apparent trifling with the courts. Under Rule 30 the court can dismiss appeals where no merit exists and it was under this rule that Solicitor Callison made his motion in the morning. The order dismissing tlie appeal says that everything that an officer should do is presumed to have been done unless proved otherwise. This was in regard to the sole plea of Gappins for a new trial on the grounds that the grand jury which indicted him was not sworn, so far as the minutes of the court showed. , A motion to quash the indictment would have been in order on these grounds, the court says, but no grounds for an appeal are contained on such a olea. in dismissing the no- i peal the coUrt orders the remittitur ' sent to the clerk of court of I^exing- I ton in order that a new day may be sot for the carrying out of the death sentence of the lower court. Others May Lose. The appeals of S. J. KIrby and O. O. Pox, the other mcnibeVs of the Brazen murder trio, have n?ver been completed and it is understood that Solicitor ('allison will move for a dismissal of these alleged appeals before the May term of the court of general sessions court at Lexington.

Chief Justice Gary spoke of th? number of murders, thefts and other crimes over the state and reiterated his statement of some days ago that i the court would fix a maximum limit for. bail on criminals. The chief justice made it plain that the court is becoming impatient with so many apparent trifling appeals. "The fight is on and this court is go- | ing to mnintaih its dignity if we have to disbar the lawyers from practice," , Chief Justice Gary declared. Chief | Justice Gary said Rule 30, the rule whereby appeals of no apparent merit can be dismissed, had been adopted by tne court in an effort to bring about Justice. He added that the court thought the attorneys would appreciate this rule and not try to evade the ends of justice. The chief justice said he was nut referrihg to any particular case. Associate Justice Watts then spoke of the appeal of C. O. Fox, another one of the Brazell murder trio, and declared if this was not trifling with iho courts he did not know what was. Callison in Charge. Solicitor Callison presented the motion to dismiss the Gapplns appeal, claiming' that the appeal was without merit. He said he was anxious for the court to decide the case prior to the middle of May when the next term of general sessions court begins in LcxTngton. Mr. Callison pointed out that the appeal is based solely on the grounds that the minutes of the court do not show that the grand jury was sv/6rn, it being claimed that this mace the trial of Gappins illegal. Mr. Cal- ] lLson said the grand Jury had been sworn, and that the matter of the 1 minutes not showing this was the smallest irregularity possible. Mr. , Callison, said the appeal should he dismissed, in his opinion. T. C. Sturkie, attorney for C.appips, [ resisted the motion, declaring that the < appeal was made in good faith.
