I APPEAL OF W. T. JONES f TO BE HEARD LATER Union Man Accused of Poisoning Wife , Still in Jail?Both Sides Ap, peal in Case. The State. 24th. The suprcne court yesterday, after hearing arguments in the case of \V. T. Jones, the Union man who is in jail 011 the charge of poisoning his wife, issued an order I that before any action be taken the appeals from the order of Circuit Judge Hvdrick and the chief justier. the first refusing bail and the second staying proceedings, be passed upon by the court, i Jones was accused of killing his wife under most sensational cirf cunistances, and the testimony at l the coroner's inquest a t I r a e ted much attention. When Jones was I arrested, application for bail was! made before Judge Ilydrick and refused. and when the case was eall1 ed lor trial an order was read from Chief Justice Pope, slaying pro' cecdings. I From the order of Judge Ilvdriek the attorneys for Jones ap, pealed and from the order of Chief Justice I'ope the solicitor appealed. This means that both sides will have arguments before the supreme court, and it is, therefore, decided to wait until these were heard. It \ is provided in the order, however, that the solicitor shall agree that 1 the cases be heard during the call of the seventh circuit. This has been agreed upon by the solicitor. The order and agreement is as follows: . "Upon hearing the application for pendente lite and in the original 1 jurisdiction of this court: "It is ordered that the Hearing of said applications be postponed itn- ^ til the hearing of the appeal from the order of his honor, Judge Hydrick, refusing bail and the v appeal from the order of the chief a justice: Provided. That the solicitor shall consent within five days ? in writing that the two appeals jj now pending in this court shall be 11 heard during the call of cases from the seventh circuit. "Y. J- Pope, C.

In 1(100 it is recorded in the municipal archives of Oopen- i hagen that (Jaspar, the hangman, bad received four rigsdalers r??r the cure o| two sick children in the infirmarx. In l(i.?8, Christian I V summoned the executioner of (ilnckstadt, in Holslcin, to examine the diseased foot of the Crown Prince. In a letter addressed to ()le Worm, a leading I>aiiisli physician of the day, llcnr\ Koster, physician in ordinary |o the king, complains bitterly of the slight thus put upon him. He says that for two whole months the hangman, ''who is as fi| to treat the case as an ass is to play the lyre," had the ease in hand, and the doctor was not asked tor advice, and although the case went steadily from bad to worse the executioner received a fee of 200 rigsdaters and a large silver goblet "rewards. says the doctor plaiutivclx, "which the greatest among us would i t ot have received had lie succeeded in ' curing the I'rince according to the i nlcs of art.
