KANSAS T0.Hlv[ 4
HANGING

Leavenworth, Kas., March 28.-
Under the supervision of United
States Marshal Mackey the gallows
has been erected in the federal pen
itentiary at Fort Leavenworth and
all other arrangements completed for
the execution tomorrow Of Charles
O'Neil, a private in the 18th United
States Infantry, recently convicted
of murder. The death sentence will
be the first inflicted in Kansas In
many years. Capital punishment is
not recognized in this state, having
been wiped from the statutes two
years ago. Prior to that time it had
not been inflicted by the state auth
critics for many years.
Private O'Neil was tried and con-
victed before the United States cir
cult court in Kansas City, Kas., and
sentenced to be hanged. Owing to
the circumstances of the case it was
deemed expedient, at least, to exc
cute the sentence on territory out
side the jurisdiction of the state So
to avoid possible legal complications
| it was decided that the death sem
tence should be executed within the
walls of the federal penitentiary here
which is a civil institution under the
s,,v 81 ha TYit To
partment of Justice.
If the murder had been commit
ted any place in Kansas except on
the government reservation, where
the federal laws and not the laws of
Kansas are in effect, life imprison-
ment would have been O'Neil's pun
ishment. There have been several
federal hangings in Kansas, but not
one since the territory now the state
Of Oklahoma was made separate
United States district. Lee Mosler
was hanged in Wichita in 1887 for a
murder committed in the Indian Ter
ritory. Two Creek Indians were
hanged in the same place for muir
der. Only once has the death SEN
| tence been inflicted on the Fort
! Leavenworth reservation. That was
| during the civil war, when three bor-
der ruffians were executed by order
of Gen. Blunt. A hanging was to
have taken place on the reservation
in 1892, but the prisoner cheated the
gallows by committing suicide sew
eral days before the date fixed for
his execution.
| The crime for which Private O'Neil
is to pay the death penalty, barring
an eleventh-hour interference on the
part of the President, was the MUIR
der of Miss Minnie Sharbeno on July
20, 1909. Miss Sharbeno was maid
employed in the home Of Captain
Murphy at the fort. O'Neil was in
fatuated with the girl and killed her
in a jealous rage. The victim was
native of Vermont and had made
! the acquaintance of O'Neil when the
| 18th regiment was stationed at Fort
Ethan Allen. When the regiment was
transferred to Fort Leavenworth the
| girl came along as maid in the
| family of Captain Murphy. The muir
der occurred soon after her arrival
here

BRILLIANT LAUNCH.
|. ING FOR FLORIDA

New York, March 28.-The con-
structors and men building the bat
tleship Florida at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard are jubilant over the progress
made and are anxiously awaiting
May IL, when the big battleship will
glide into the East river on her maid
en- plunge. Barring q few minor de-
tails the vessel Is now ready.
The launching of the Florida will
be one of the greatest events in the
history of the navy yard of the plans
Of the commandant and Naval Con-
structor Baxter. in charge of build
ing work, are carried out. Invita-
lions have been sent to President
Taft, his cabinet and nearly every
naval officer of prominence. The
Governor of Florida, his staff, and
the members of the Florida delega-
ton in Congress will be on hand.
Miss Helen Gould and Miss Anna
Morgan, who have been liberal in
their benefactions to the naval Y. M.
C. A., are expected to be present as
special guests of honor.
The navy yard officials believe the
launching should be as elaborate as
possible on account of the Florida be-
ing the largest American battleship,
except the Utah, her sister ship.
When she is finished and placed in
comission she will be 1000 tons lar
ger than any battleship in service,
and until the 26,0O0-ton Arkansas
and Wyoming are completed the
Florida will be queen of the seas.
The Florida is the first battleship
to be constructed in a government
navy yard since the Connecticut was
completed at the Brooklyn yard near
ly decade ago. The navy yard Of
ficials are in hopes that when the
Florida is finished and placed in COM
mission they will be given the con-
tract to build even a larger battle
ship than the Florida or her success
sors of the 26,000-ton class.

NIarAnna, Nov. 25.-The log train
of the Jarrett Lumber Corporation
was wrecked today at 3:15 p. m,
about two and half miles north Of
here. near Conley's mill. The car left
the track as the train was rounding 4
curve about twelve miles an hour.
Conductor Millard Fillmore Brooks,
who was riding on the front car. was
thrown under the trucks. which
passed over his right arm, crushing 1t
to a pulp. He died few hours later.
There was but one set Of brakes on
train of three cars and to stop the
train the engineer had to reverse the
ensine., This caused the train tc run
back over the conductors arm the
second time. The crew brought Mr..
Brooks to town as soon as possible,
but he died before physicians could
reach him. ....
The conductor. in addition 20 having
his arm crushed to q pulp. it is be-
ilieved, was internally injured.
The wreck was laid to two causes.
Engineer Smith says just as the car
1 left the track he saw piece OF OAK
rail fly out from under the front
trucks Of the first car, and says he
supposes that this caused the car to
leave the tracks. Car Repeirer Steph'
ers says that in going around he
curve the car was bearing SO heavily
to the inside of the curve that It could
not straighten UP for the straight
track that followed. ~~0----
Mr. Brooks, who was killed, was
employed by the l.. & N. for several
years as assistant depot agent here
He resigned to work as conductor fol
the NJ. & B. and about four months
ago he went to the jarrett Lumbe1

ton he held when killed.
