S‘ir Henry Strong and Justice Taschereau both pointed out to Mr. Robinette that his right to make the application for appeal lay under the statute of 1897. That statute was passed by the Provincial Government first, and afterwards confirmed by the Dominion Parliament. In it, it was epecially stated, there was only the right to appeal in certain cases, and criminal cases were not any of these. It was, indeed, confined to civil cases. In fact, the statute was a prohibition againgt entertaining an appeal to the Supreme Court. Murderer of Boyd Will Go to the Gallows. Ottawa despatch says â€" There was a special sitting of the Supreme Court toâ€"day to hbhear the applicaâ€" tion in the Fred Lee Rice murder case, of Toronto, for leave to apâ€" peal from the decision of the Court of Appeal. All the judges were preâ€" seut, with the exception of Justice Girouard. Mr. Robinette, in presentâ€" ing hie right to appeal, said that under section 742 of the criminal code it was provided that there was no right to appeal to the Suâ€" preme Court in any case where the court was unanimous. But section 748 dealt with reserved cases and under it the appeal wae askedâ€"for. He relied entirely for leave to apâ€" peal on sections 742, 743, 744 and 750, of the criminal code. The case therefore was entirely different, being a reserved one from that reâ€" ferred to in 742, where it was specified that there was no apâ€" peal when the court was unanimous, The argument was purely a techniâ€" cal one. MPyE . Chief Justice Strong then said that while he would like to give such a judgment as would prevent such apâ€" peals, still it would not be right to delay thereby giviig the prisoncr the right to entertain hopes which were not â€" warrantable, the court being unanimous _ against the application. Therefore it was best to dispose of the case at once. Leave to appeal was therefore unanimously refused, and the court adjourned. R, J. Cartwright merely cited this statute, and Mr. Guthrie had nothâ€" ing further to add. Justice Taschereau eaid that in a British Columbia case he held that under section 743 there was an apâ€" peal in a reserved casge, but the majority of the court was against him. Mr. Robinette quoted this deâ€" cision as being in his favor. RUSSIAN RAID ON HEBREWS.

Alderman kent was in a room on the filth floor, with his atâ€" tendant, A. W. Wattles.

The list, as Tar as known, although ip is possible that the list of dead will be increased later, is as fullrJ}\'q: A scene that wrought to the pitch of madness the great crowd that had gathered around the building was enacted at a fourth story window on the north sgide. Across this winâ€" dow was a heavy wire sereen, and on the outside of the screen were iron bars running parallel to the sill, and behind them were gathered a crowd oA men, whose numbers were after: wards found to be between 25 and 380. Their escape in the other direcâ€" tions was impossible, for the fivre filled all the halls, and was steadily eating its way toward the window at which the men were standing. The one chance for life for that crowd of men lay through that screened _ and _ barred window. The men closest to the screen Tore and Pugged at it in a vain effort to tear it from its Tore and Pugged at it in a vain effort to tear it from its fastenings, and more behind them fought madly to get close enough to the screen to fasten their fingers in it. A number of the men at the winâ€" dow were in straight jackets and manacles, aitd those not being able to help themselves or others were the wildest of all in their frantle efforts to break through the bars. That any escaped is owing to the work of W. E. Davis, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, a patient in the institution. Ke induced the men to cease their dieâ€" connected pulling at the screen and to unite their efforts. Four men at first took hold of the screen, and aflter a few desperate pulls they manraged to pull down a portion of the screen. The screen was down, but the bars remained, and they were heavy, placed there for the purpose of withstanding all the efforts of insane men, no matter how strong they might be. As many men as could place their hands on the lower bar took hold. It bent almost double, and six men went to the floor with a orash, holding on to the iron bar which they had torn from its fastâ€" enings. Bo quickly did the men beâ€" hind them «epring to graep the gecond bar that those who had torn gown the first were badly trampled before they could rise.
