TAFT HALTs A HANGING
Kansas Protest Wins Respite for
Convicted Soldier.

Kansas Protest Wins Respite 1or
Convicted Soldier.
Leavenworth, Kan, March 81
Charles O'Neil, the soldier OF the
18th infantry convicted of the muir
der of Miss Minnie Sherbino, was not
executed here yesterday. President
Taft granted him a respite of 60
days. O'Neil maintained a brave
front and did not seem to care much
whether he was executed or not.
The respite came as carpenters
started erecting the gallows. Petit
tions are in circulation here asking
the president to commute O'NeiPs
death sentence to life imprisonment.
The pronounced opposition to
hanging O'Neil grows out of the fact
that Kansas has not had hanging
since 1t become a state. Two years
ago capital punishment was wiped
from the statutes.
