This was denied on the yvtiSfathat c
Wss circuit judge was wHhefcf? Juris* n

jed Co prove that HaWklns was tn<?E e
tally unbalanced and, therefore, not
criminally liable. This motion war ^
granted by Judge Mauldin and it was $
from this act that the state appealed
bringing the case again before the g
supreme court. Under the court's decision
the new trial will be had as ?
soon as possible. a
The previous practice in the male* cj
ing of motions for new trials has led f
to a condition, the court believes, y
where con vie fed criminals may by j
successive motions and appeals block v
the process of the law indefinitely and
by their motions and appeals prevent (
their executions. "Perhaps this tribunal,"
says the opinion, "was never
called upon to meet a graver responsibility
. . . nor was it ever more .
loudly called upon to use its judi- t
cial powers in a proper "way to avert ,
a deplorable condition, a condition ,
| that is not calculated to enhance re- (
spect for law and its enforcement ,
and which as a matter of fact would j
have a contrary effect." y
Under the rule promulgated in the
opinion the circuit court alone will
have authority to hear motions for
new trials on the grounds of after
discovered evidence, but when the i
?ase has once been appealed to the j
supreme tuuri auu juugunut tWw>- ,
3d by the supreme court, the motion <
an be heard by the circuit court only i
after a showing to the supreme court i
that the motion is meritorious. Pending
this hearing no automatic stay
of execution is to be allowed and the
preliminary motion must be made in
time to permit its arguing and con-, i
sideration before the day set for the 1
electrocution or a temporary reprieve
of the sentence must be secured,
"upon proper showing to the gover- J
nor." In case the supreme court denies
the preliminary motion or the
circuit court denies the motion for
new trial the defendant will then be
electrocuted without the necessity of
a resentencing. ,
The opinion, written by Circuit
Judge Frank B. Gary of Abbeville,
was concurred in by the chief justice,
all associate justices, with the exception
of Associate Justice R. G. Watts,
' and all circuit court judgas present
at the en banc session 01 tne supreme
court. The case was argued before
the court in en banc session on September
2. Associate Justice Watts
i filed p dissenting opinion, disagree
big with the remainder of the court
! on both issues and holding that the'
circuit Court should have the power
> nt any time to hear motions for utir
> i trials 'on the ground of after diseov
ered evidence. Rswjkins, Associate
1 Justice Watts also held, should not
he allowed a new trial.
The new rule was not applied in the
i deciding of thev Hyhina case.

A idea of emotional insanity was
iade by defense, which produced
lany eminent alienists, who testified
lat at the time of the shooting the
efendant could not distinguish beween
right and wrong, a contention
enied by the commonwealth, which
roduced other experts in mental disasas,
who gave opinions that on

rere convinced of her sanity.
In his charge to the jury Judge
iarratt declared the vital issue .n

he observed, "the jury
