That Herman Rlllek, the Bohemian hypnotist and fortujne teller who was convicted of the murder of several members of the Vrzal family, is legally dead, is the novel plea to be made by Attorney Hinckley before Judge Barnes in an attempt to save Blllejc from the gal lows when the court convenes to pro nounce sentence on ' the "evil-eye" poisoner tomorrow,. : Blllek was sentenced tcTbe hanged last summer. The day of execution came, but the United States court took a hand In the case and Billek was given leave to appeal to the supreme court of the United States. That court found that it had no jurimlictlon and the' cane came back to Judge Barnes for re-sentence. It is now claimed that In the absence of any order re scinding or postponing the ' previous sentence of death, Blllek, in legal theory. Is alreSdy dead, and hence can not be sentenced to pay any penalty whatsoever. ' It Is not considered likely that this plea will be upheld by the court, and it Is highly probable that the arch rnvlsoner will again be sentenced to be Catholic priests and sisters have been active In attempting to prove Blllek's Innocence, but while their efforts have tende1 t0 discredit some of the evl- dence adduced at the trial, it has not been sufficient to remove Blllek from. the shadow o fthe gallows.
