Casters Awful Crime.

Castor has been virtually in the
shadow of the death chair for nearly
two years but in all that time he has
never displayed the slightest evidence
of fear or dependency.
The penitentiary annex is now filled
to Overlooking with condemned muir
derers sentenced to death, and though
Casters case appears the most des-
perate of them all he is the most hope
full prisoner Of the lot.
Each time that he has been appraised
of the date fixed for his electrocution
he has received the news as calmly
as he did the first sentence of death,
when he said:
well. shoot me full of electricity
until I'm dead"
He spends his time Joking with the
guards or playing cards with his fell
low prisoners. A part of each day he
takes regular exercise in order to keep
himself in good physical condition He
has never heen sick an hour during
the long period of his confinement
Castor's crime was the murder Of
Daniel e. Davis. member of the Co.
lumbus police force. Davis and other
officers surprised Castor and his pals
In the act Of burglarizing the residence
OF Horace L. Chapman. a prominent
coal operator and former democratic
candidate for governor Of Ohio.
Long Criminal Record.
| With a companion. Castor was maxi
ing his escape from the house when
he almost ran into the arms of the
ohicer. Shots were exchanged, and
subsequently the officer was found
MORALLY wounded
An investigation following his ar
rest showed that Castor though still
young In years. had a long criminal
record. His home was in Flint, Mich,
where his parents still reside.
They have worked constantly to save
their son from the electric chair and
through their efforts a petition con-
tanning the signatures of thousands Of
people living i'm Michigan has been
presented to the governor asking for
a communication of the death sentence
to one of life Imprisonment.
| To counteract these efforts to save
Castor the police officers Of Columbus
CIRCULATED a petition askin~ that .rare
be no interference with the original
sentence. Castor himself appears con-
hdent that his sentence will be COM
muted.
