Mother's Prayer To Save
Boy Until Xmas Granted
COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 31—A moth
er’s prayers were answered, ,but Joe
C. Kane today peered through the
bars of the death cell at the state
penitentiary and laughed at justice,
laughed at life, and jeered at death.
A mistake by Chief Justice Marshall
of the Ohio supreme court was re
sponsible for Kane being granted 20
more days of life—it also answered
the prayer of Kane’s mother that her
boy be reprieved over the holiday
season.
Kane w'as to have been executed at
the penitentiary December 20, for the
murder of 7-year-old Paul Prologo, but
the chief justice’s mistake brought
a reprieve from Gov. Donahey.
The justice explained today that he
had granted a stay of execution for
the sentence to pay a S100 fine upon
Norman G. Kendall, proprietor of a
theatre, for law violation, and that
he had become confused and believed
the stay had been granted to Kane.
The condemned man’s mother had
appealed to Gov. Donahey yesterday
jthat he reprieve her son until after
Christmas.
“It was an awful crime,” she told
the governor. “I know he must be
ll
punished. But can’t the electrocution
be postponed until after Christmas?
If he dies tomorrow morning we will
be so unhappy through the holidays.”

worth of opium was found in one
cache and $1,000 worth in another.

J phine cubes were unearthed after a
