ALASKANTO j
LEAVENWORTH, Kan., April 8 (by
Associated Press).—Robert F. Stroud
of Juneau, Alaska, will be the first
man legally hanged in Kansas in al
most fifty years, unless President Wil
son saves him by exercise of execu
tive clemency.
The last legal hanging in this state
took place in 1870, and the death pen
alty was abolished in 1907; but Stroud
was tried and convicted in the federal <
court for a murder committed in the
federal penitentiary here, and sen
tenced under federal law to be hanged.
* # Another unusual feature of the case
is the fact that he would have escaped
with life imprisonment if he had not ^
insisted upon a third trial, which re
sulted in a death sentence. If it Is
carried out he will be the first man to
he executed in Leavenworth prison.
Stroud was serving a twelve-year
sentence in the penitentiary for the
killing of a man in Alaska in a quarrel
over a dance hall girl, when in 1916 <
he attacked Andrew E. Turner, a
prison guard, and stabbed him to death
with a dagger which he had made from
a table knife, and carried in a con
cealed pocket in his coat. Stroud as
serted subsequently that Turner had
called him a name.
For this killing Stroud had three
trials. In the first he was found guilty
of murder and sentenced to death, but
the court of appeals remanded the case 1
oto the ground that the trial judge had
failed to inform the jury of its privi- <
leg^pf bringing in a “qualified verdict”
limiting his punishment to life im
prisonment. In the second trial the
jury availed itself of this legal provi
sion and sentenced him for life.
Stroud’s lawyers felt that they had
gained a victory, but at the prisoner's
insistence the case wras again ap
pealed, and at his third trial Stroud
was once mere found guilty and sen
tenced to death. The case was car
ried to the United States supreme
court, which affirmed the sentence. i
Stroud has been aided by his mother,
who came from Alaska in an effort to
save his life. She appealed to Presi
dent Wilson to commute the death sen
tence.
