| Court | Washington Supreme Court |
William A. Seaton, having been convicted of crime and sentenced to death, applies for a stay of execution. Denied.
A. J. Speckert and Speckert, Cassidy & Barnes, for petitioner.
This is an application to stay the execution of the death sentence of William Alden Seaton under the judgment of the superior court of King county. The application for the stay of execution is founded upon a notice of appeal filed in the superior court from the order of the judge of that court fixing the day of execution, and directed to the sheriff of the county. The prosecuting attorney of King county opposes the application, and moves to dismiss the appeal on the ground that the order made is not appealable. The motion must be sustained upon the authority of State v. Nordstrom, 21 Wash. 403, 58 P. 248, 53 L. R. A. 584, and Same v. Boyce (Wash.) 65 P. 763.
The application is denied.
