22 YEARS UNDER DEATH SENTENCE Jurist's Death Stays Execution of Slayer. Trenton, N. J. For 22 years Archie Herron, seventy-one, has sat day after day in his cell at the state prison here under sentence of death but never to be executed. Twelve years ago he had a visitor his son. He has never had another. In 1 1)08 Herron was convicted of the murder of Rev. Samuel B. D. Pickett, a retired minister, who had caused his arrest on a charge of disorderly conduct con-duct The Court of Errors stayed the execution, ex-ecution, pending an appeal, but the conviction was reaffirmed. Supreme Court Justice James J. Bergen resentenced resen-tenced Herron to die In January, 100!). After Gov. John Franklin Fort had granted two thirty-day reprieves the execution was set for March 30, 190!). But Herron seemed destined to remain re-main alive, for Justice Bergen, after an Inquiry Into the convicted man's mental condition, ordered, on June 30, 1900, that the execution be stayed "until further orders." No further orders were forthcoming forthcom-ing and Justice Bergen died himself in 1923. His death removed the last chance of Herron's execution, for the law requires that a man whose execution execu-tion has been stayed must be resentenced resen-tenced by the sentencing judge. So Herron will sit, purling his pipe peacefully, until he dies a natural death. The state cannot touch him.
