BARHER IS SANE.
So Decides the Jury In Jmtyc Frost's
Court at Lincoln.
Frank Warker may yet pay the deatlt
penalty for the murder of his brother
and sister-in-law. Dan Warker midwife,
nearly four years ago. After having
been convicted in the district couit of
Webster county and sentenced to he
hanged, he was taken to the peniten
tiary at Lincoln, there to await the
day of his execution.
Judge F. (. II inner of Kearney in
teiestcd himself in the case and so
well succeeded in his efforts to delay
the course of justice that (lovernor
Mickey granted him a two years re
piiexe. When the day Uniilly arrived
upon which Warker was to be hanged,
Judge Hauler again stepped into the
breach and succeeded in procuring an
other postponement, in order that he
might have a In-uring as to his sanity.
In the first trial the jury disagiecd
and the hanging was again postponed.
hast week he was again placed on
trial, and Sunday morning the jury
returned a verdict that he was sane
within the meaning of the law.
Judge Hatner filed a motion for a
new trial, which will be denied, and
he will then appeal to the supreme
for a stay of execution on the ground
that the instructions of the trial
judge to the jury were prejudicial to
his client. If lie fails in this move, it
is doubtful if he can prevent Warker's
execution.
While some of tin' Webster county
witnesses were in Lincoln last week,
Warden Weeiner made the statement to
them that there would never be an
other hanging in the Nebraska peni
tentiary, at least while he was waidcn.
and it may be that the defenders of
murderer have some other move in
view by which they hope to prevent
the execution of the death sentence.
