FIRST LEGAL EXECUTION IN SEW.

OF kEokuk, CONDEMNED
Sentenced to 30 Hanged For Killing
Wifs-condemned Man Not Discour-
aged and Still Hopes For Commute.
ton Of Sentence to Life lmprison-
ment-M aintains His Innocence.

Keokuk, Aug. 24.-Sept. 3. the date
set by the court for the execution of
Martin NJ. ODonnell, of this city, SEN
fenced to be hanged in the prison at
Fort Madison for the murder of his
wife, daily draws nearer. The doomed
man bears up Well as the day of his
ordeal approaches and firmly believes
that some agency will interfere to save
him.
Inquiry of the condemned man has
ELECTED the information that neither
he nor his attorney, SO far as he is
informed, have any knowledge how
soon the supreme court will decide the
case which is now on appeal. If the
supreme court shall not have rendered
an opinion by the Sd of September the
tendency of the appeal will auto
matically act as a stay of execution.
Should it between now and then render
decision, it is believed in the event 1t
is an affirma ton of the lower court,
that the supreme court will itself grant
temporary stay. Should it reverse
the case, second trial will be had. In
any event the time is so short between
the present and the Sd Of September,
it is confidently believed that if the
need arises, Governor Clarke will grant
respite if he does not in fact issue
a communication.
Maintains His Innocence.
O'Donnen continues to maintain his
absolute innocence of the crime. And
his confidence in the final outcome of
the case does not seem to have abated.
He expressed belief that he will
eventually be vindicated and proven
innocent; and he seems also quite sure
that Governor Clarke will not permit
him to be executed on purely circum-
'stantial evidence. For a man who has
undergone the terrible strain to which
he has been subjected since the goth of
June, 1914, he is holding up wonder
fully. He has grown slightly thinner,
but in no other way is there an indica-
ton of his supreme confidence being
in any way disturbed. He simply de-
clares that events and circumstances
in his own life Immediately prior to the
tragedy conspired to throw suspicion
upon him and that upon mistaken cir
cumstances the jury found him guilty.
