BY the Associated Press.


sTARKE, Fla June II. w. Bu-
chanan, Taylor County farmer, con-
Victed slayer Of two Federal prohibi-
ton agents, has been saved from the

Tuesday, by a court order. Circuit
Judge A. 2. Adkins late today issued
an order restraining ]. s. Bitch, as
superintendent of the State prison,

rant against Buchanan, declared I'M
constitutional the law Of 1928 author
izing the imposition of the sentence of
death upon persons convicted of crime
in the State Of Florida by electrocution
and by the superintendent of the
Florida State prison" and remanded
Buchanan to the penitentiary to serve
life sentence.
Buchanan'S attorneys commended the
law creating the electric chair was un-
constitutional and that Supt. Bitch,
could not legally execute a man be-
cause ne Is not an elected officer nor
appointed by the governor They fur
ther commended Buchanan should be
sent to prison for life on the ground
that he was first convicted on a charge
OF murder in connection with the death
OF one Federal agent and the jury rec
commended mercy. On his second trial
for killing the other agent, there was no
mercy recommendation and the death
sentence followed.
His case was the more unusual in
that he was under sentence Of life and
