HANSAS IS LIKELY T0 HAVE HANGING Killer of Penitentiary Guard Sentenced to Die September 5 Topcka, Kas. April 17 (UP)— Only the possibility of a presiden- tial reprieve remained today to pre- vent the first hanging of a prisoner in Kansas within the’last 30 years. A Kansas federal jury sealed the fate of Carl Panzran, 40-year-old Leavenworth convict, yesterday and condemned him to die on the gal- lows at the prison next September The jury found Panzran guilty of murdering R. G. Warnke, peniten- tiary laundry foreman, at the prison last' Jume. Panzran boasted of the crime and cxpressed a desire to kill all human beings. Federal Judge ichard J. Hopkins assessed the death penalty when the jurors rec- ommended no mercy. Asked Death or Freedom Because the crime was commited on government property and because the hanging will be at the same place, the exccution does not con- fiiet with state laws. Only a com- mutation by the president can save Panzran. Panzran, however, personally de- manded the. death penalty it he were not given freedom to ex- terminate the whole human race. He hoasted of having killed 23 men to date, He also threatened to kill 2ll in the court room and told his zuards they would have “a tough time” with him between now and the hanging in September.
