State v. Seaton
Washington Supreme Court
State v. Seaton, 27 Wash. 120 (Wash. 1902)
67 P. 572; 1902 Wash. LEXIS 369
State v. Seaton
Opinion of the Court
This is an application to stay the exe cution of the death sentence of William Aldon 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. Tbh 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 Pac. 248, 53 L. R. A. 584), and State v. Boyce, 25 Wash. 422 (65 Pac. 763). The application is denied.

- APPEALABLE OBDER-SENTENCE OE DEATH-STAY OE EXECUTION. The order of the lower court fixing the day of execution of one convicted of murder is not reviewable on appeal, and hence an appeal from such order affords no ground for an application for a stay of execution of the death sentence.
