Senator Ransom. introduced as senate file
No. Al becomes a law. The measure will
be of especial interest to Omaha people, in
view of the action of the court in COM
muting the death penalty imposed upon
Jay O'Hearn.
In 1885, while Governor Thayer held the
reins of government, there was a brutal
murder in Antelope county. a man named
Brown having killed his wife and thrown
her body in a well. The murderer was
prosecuted and sentenced to be hanged,
and while the case was pending the SUI
preme court, under the authority OF a sec
ton Of the criminal code, committed the
sentence from death to life Imprisonment
Governor Thayer claimed the right to issue
all pardons and combinations under the
constitution and he was much exercised.
'The governor sent for me- said Sena-
tor Ransom, and asked me to introduce a
bill that would repeal the law under which
the court acted, and 1 put In a measure
that repealed the clause Of tho code. The
bill never came out of the engrossing and
enrolling committee for some reason OF
other, and the matter mas never been taken
J up since that time.
I'm my opinion the danger In the public
is largely from failure to execute sen
fences for murder, and there should b,
every legal provision hat they be carried
out."
The section reads;
THAT in all criminal cases that now ar,
or may hereafter be pending in the su
preme court on error. the said court ma,
reduce the sentence rendered by the dis
trlct court against the accused, when II
! their opinion the sentence is excessive, an,
II shall be the duty OF said supreme cour
to render such sentence against the &C
