All ANTI-K1DHAPPIHG LAW.
Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 3. Senator Ran
som of Omaha, introduced in the state
senate today xu' bill to make kidnapping
under certain conditions punishable by
death.- It provides for three grades of
punishment. For simple kidnapping,
three to five years in the penitentiary;
for kidnapping and exhoMng money, a
life term in prison and for kidnapping
and threatening to injure the victim,
hanging. ' Three other bills bearing on
kidnapping- and not greatly different in
phraseology, were Introduced.
The present 'Nebraska statute on this
crime da regarded as very lame, and
good authorirties question (whether ,for
the act of abduction alone a conviction
would be possible. W&th members of
the legislature to their present temper,
one-of these bills is pretty-sure to be
given right of way.
