Will Appeal Huberts Case
J. T. Kcofo, attorney for Roy Rob
erts, stated today that ho will ap
peal tho caso to tho supremo court on
error. Ho will do this becauso ho Is
convinced that Roberts is entitled to
a now trial, and . because many resi
dents of tho county have Insisted that
every possible effort to save Roberts
from thf electric chair should bo
made. Mr. Kecfo has thoroforo or
dered a .bill of.. exceptions, which
means a copy of' all-the ovidenco and
pleadings in tho case, and these with
tho other necessary papers will bo
filed in tho supremo court within tho
next forty days.
Mr. Kecfo has assurance that nt
least part of the funds necessary to
appeal will bo furnished, and it is
probajjlo tjiat others whpi favor a
now trial will make small donations.
Roborts is penniless and his rela
tives aro poor, hence tho cost of the
appeal must be borne by thoso who
consider that tho penalty imposed on
Roberts was greater than the .cvldonce
warranted.
