OhiO'S Murder Laws

Apparently the legislators of 1902
did not think the murder laws APP
piled TO persons WHO would kill pub
lie officials. Whatever they thought,
says the Cleveland Plain Dealer,
they passed, after the assassination
of OAlo's Mckinley, a law providing
the death penalty for anyone who
would murder, within the state OF
course, a President, vice president,
governor or lieutenant governor. II
the attempt upon a President or
vice president failed, the would-be
assassin was to get life imprison-
ment, while if the attempt upon the
governor or lieutenant governor
failed. the crimiva al was to be i'm
prisnned for life or not less than 20
ears.
