1t has been learned that Charles O'Neil,
the murderer Of Miss Charbonneau Of
Essex Junction. who was sentenced to be
hung In Fort L~eavenworth, Kansas, has
cen granted a reprieve of three months by
President Taft. The reprieve was granted
upon the solicitation of the governor Of
Kansas and n large number of the lead
ing citizens Of that State. It is now
thought that the sentence may be com
muted to NE Imprisonment. The only
punishment for murder under the feder-
al code is death, but Kansas law does
not uphold capital punishment. hence the
activity in O'Neils behalf. The murder
took place at Fort ~Leavenworth but the
sentence was death by hanging in the
States prison. where the murderer has
since been confined. Many legal entangle-
ments have therefore resulted.
