JOHNSON
MUST HANG
THOS JoHNSON'S LIFE CAN
Be SAVED BY GOVERNOR
Supreme Court Refuses to Grant
Rehearing- Execution of
Sentence is May 10

Thomas johnson the Omaha
negro who is to be hanged for
the murder of a stockman named
Henry R. Krankland, now has no
hope except from an appeal to
Governor Aldrich. He is to be
hanged for murder May 10 un-
less the governor interferes with
the carrying out Of the law. John
son was convicted by the Dis
trict court of Douglas county
and the judgment was affirmed
by a majority of the supreme
court. He then applied to the
supreme court for a rehearing
and this motion was overruled
yesterday. The death of the con-
victed man will take place with
in the stockade of the state peni-
Tertiary unless Gov. Aldrich in
terferes to stay the judgment of
the courts. The governor is now
out of town and will not return
for more than a week, so that ap-
plications for clemency must re-
main on file for awhile.
Johnson was formerly a L. S.
soldier. He had an honorable
discharge. He was convicted of
the murder of a cattleman in On
aha and the watch of the muir
dered man was found in his pos
session. Blood was on the cloth
ing of Johnson when he was ar
rested after he had spent the
night in a dive with a negro wo-
man. He asked for a re-hearing
IN the ground of prejudice on
the part of white men on the
jury and because of the alleged
rrejudicial action of policemen
and the sheriff at the trial before
the jury. His motion for a re-
hearing having been overruled by
the supreme court, only a re-
prieve or a pardon from the gov
.rnor can save Johnson's life.

will be the organization best

Then he has the investigation Of condi-

and where there are also resorts and

John D. Kennedy. Greenwald's deputy
In East Chicago, has had direct charge
of the investigation there and has done
splendid service in unearthing the con-

Powerful political influence will be
