By the Associated Press. ' STARKE, Fla, June 7—J. W. Bu- chanan, Taylor Coun?g farmer, con- victed slayer of two Federa] prohibi- tion agents, has been saved from the electric chair, where he was to die next Tuesday, by a court order. Circuit Judge A. Z. Adkins late today issued an order restraining J. 8. Blitch, as superintendent of the State prison, from carrying out the ‘death sentence. The order canceled the death war- rant against Buchanan, declared un- constitutional the law of 1923 “author- | izing the imposition of the sentence of death upon persons convicted of crime in the Btate of Florida by electrocution and by the superintendent of the Florida State p and remanded Buchanan to the penitentiary to serve a life sentence. Buchanan's attorneys contended the law creating the electric chair was un- constitutional and that Supt. Blitch, could not legally execute a man be- cause he is not an elected officer nor appointed by the governor. They fur- ther contended Buchanan should be| sent to prison for life on the ground that he was first convicted on a charge of murder in connection with the death of one Federal agent and the jury rec- ommended mercy. On his second, trial for killing the other agent, there was no mercy recommendation and the death sentence followed. His case was the more unusual in that he was under sentence of life and death at the same time. 55 ——— PRIEST IS CAPTIVE HANKOW, China, June T (#.— Father Clifford King, captured by bane dits a week ago at the Catholic mis- sion at Sinyangchow, 100 miles north | of here, is still being held prisoner, ! it was learned today.
