THOMAS JOHNSON MUST HANC
Governor A'ldrich Refuses to Commute
Sentence to Life Impriconmcnt.
Lincoln , May 10. Governor Aldricli
issued a "statement to the effect thai
he would not interfere with the ver
dict of the court which sentenced
Thomas Johnson , the Omaha negro ;
convicted oi' the murder of a stock
man named Frank Land , to hang. .
May 19.
In his statement the executive says
that in the beginning he was im
pressed with the idea of granting a
commutation of sentence , thinking
that possibly the murderer had not
had a fair trial. He also asserts that
the arguments made by Attorney
Kaley of Omaha in behalf of the con
demned man were such as to make
him desire to investigate the case to
the uttermost. "But , " says the gov
ernor , "an paminr.ticn of the record
and a review of the evidence given in
the case does not justify Kaley's stta
ment that Johnson did not have a fair
t al. "
Further , Governor Alc'rich savs
there is not a missing link in the
chain of evidenceIn concl riing
