• nsisted upon a thiid trial, which in
sulted m a death sentence. If it is
carried out he will bo 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 11H0
he attacked Audi t u K. Turner, a
prison guard, and stabbed him to
death with a dagger which he h. d
•n: d * from a table knife, and carvi d
in a concealed pocket in his coat.
St* oud asset leu subsequently that
1‘urnei* had called him a name.
l-'or this killing Stroud had three
trials. In the first he was found
guilty of murder and sentenced to
death, but the court of appeals re
manded the rase on the ground that
the trial judge had failed to inform
the jury of its privilodgo of bringing
, m a “qualified verdict” limiting him
punishment to life imprisonment. In
the second trial the jury availed it
-df of this legal provision and sent
enced him for life. Stroud’s lawyers
•VIt that they had gained a victory,
’•nit at the prisoner's insistance the
case was again appealed, and at h;s
third trial Stroud was once moie
•ound guilty and sentenced to dent
fhe case was earned t<> the United
States supreme court. which affirmed
* he sentence.
Stroud has been aided by his mother
ho came from Alaska in an offovt t »
save h»s life. She appealed to Presi
o.-nt Wilson to commute the death
sentence.
