HEAD AND HANDS

KILLER 1S DENIED| EXECUTION STAY

Hicks’ Attorneys Plan to Ask |.

__iCertiorari Writ From . U.S. Court.

Attorneys for Heber L. Hicks, under. sentence to die May 6 for the “head and hands” slaying of a retired Cincinnati fire captain, had failed today to secure a further stay of execution from the Indiana Supreme Court. Their request was made orally and was not filed, and the court entered no record of refusal following a conference yesterday. Attorneys asked the stay in order to perfect an appeal to the U. S. Supreme Court. The Indiana Supreme Court already has upheld the sentence and has allowed transfer of the case to the U. S. Supreme Court. Hicks’ . attorneys said they were having difficulty making the appeal because they did not have a complete copy of the Franklin County Circuit Court trial record.

U. S. Petition Planned

They said they would petition the U. S. Supreme Court to issue a writ of certiorari, which would order the trial court to send up a complete record. It was their contention that either the Indiana or the U. S. Supreme Court had a right to grant a stay of execution. ; Hicks was one of four men accused of the siayrg of Harry Miller in a plot’to gain possession of the former fire captain's fortune of $150,000. John Joseph Poholsky, Frank Gore Williams and William Kuhlman, the other members of the gang, have been executed.

BOMBAY, April 26 (U. P). — Armed with curved swords, thousands of discontented tenants of the walled town of Sikar began a sitdown strike today and simultaneously prepared for defense against two battalions of Indian troops which began a siege of the town.

Defying the Maharajah’s authority, the Rajah mobilized thousands of armed and discontented tenants.

fication proposal, which: would join 8,000,000 Methodists in one denomi-

nation for the first time in ‘more than a century. Antiunificationists have contended that a vote for merger of the churches at the general conference would have no standing because one conference of ‘the Southern church failed to approve the proposal last year. The question of legality prob-

ably will be decided within the

church by its judicial council. Century-0Old Fight
