action automatically stays the execution
of the sentence of death.
Jeffords signed the brief notice of
appeal in his own name, so availing
himself of the right under the laws of
the state to act as his own attorney in
appealing to the state supreme court.
No indication of the grounds upon
which the appeal will be based was
given in the notice. The notice, written
on a typewriter, follows:
<4You will please take notice that '
the defendant, Frank M. Jeffords, intends
to appeal and hereby appeals
from the verdict and sentence in the
above case this 29th day of May,
1922." The notice was headed by the
name of the case.

30 days in which to perfect his appeal.
Should it be perfected the case
' could not come up before the supreme
court until the second Tuesday in October
when the next session of the
court will be held. The case would
then have to be argued before the
court and if the appeal is sustained
the case probably retried. If the appeal
should be denied Jeffords would
then have to be resentenced before
execution.
Will Cause Delay.
In case, however .the appeal is
never completed, as was the appeal of
S. J. Kirby, Solicitor Spigner will be
forced to wait the expiration of the
30 days before he can take any action
in the circuit court to secure the dismissal
of the appeal. This will carry
the delay beyond the next term of
court and will postpone the resentenc-*
ing until the session following.
Harrison as yet has made no move
toward an appeal and it is not known
whether he will follow Jeffords' lead
or not. Under the law notice of appeal
to the supreme court may be filed
at any time after conviction and within
ten days after the rising of the
court. The session of the court at J
which the three rfiien were tried will j
last through this week and Harrison '
therefore will be allowed ten days after
Saturday in which to file notice of j
appeal. He would then be allowed \
the usual 30 days in which to com-|
plete and perfect the appeal. It is
possible also that the state may secure
the postponement of his execution
by a series of reprieves from the
governor until the case of Jeffords
has been finally decided.
Treece also has made no move but
is now serving his life sentence in the f
state penitentiary.
